This property is off the beaten path but had security and the tourist police station is down the road. We felt safe walking as 4 adults up the road for meals and massages. We had a 2 bedroom suite. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and addressed concerns immediately. For example they turned up our hot water heater immediately upon calling as we had lukewarm water. 2k of laundry was only 200 peso. Downside is breakfast starts at 7 and the 2 tours we did picked up way before this so we missed out. Also breakfast food was cold but they heated up our plates upon request. Also disappointed that only coffe is included no tea. At low tide, the eater behind the hotel was fun to explore. Nice pool.

This property in itself is a 4.5 to 5 star. The area around the property especially at the front gate is maybe a 2.5. So stay in the compound if you really want that good vibe and enjoy what the Beachfront has to offer

***WARNING NOT SAFE 조심하세요 극도로 위험하다*** This resort is very unsafe and we were victims, either singled out or preyed upon by an employee. He was either a peeping tom/sexual predator/thief or someone who would potentially extort us. We are a Korean/Canadian couple. The police and the Tourist police, Korean and Canadian Embassy have been notified. We are also hiring a lawyer. Both my 6 month pregnant wife and I are now suffering from PTSD due to this incident. We were both victims of a worker who came through our 4th floor window through the ledge and opened the curtains and found us both naked. Yes, he came through the 4th floor!!! We were both shocked and now we are suffering through PTSD. We had to leave early since we couldn't trust the hotel and the staff. We felt unsafe in the Phillipines. I was very scared. Moreoever, the employee and hotel management didn't do anything to protect us and said that it was an accident. They kept siding with the employee. Very common to not take responsibility. They defended the worker and they said these mistakes happen. Thus, we filed a report with the Cebu Police and have also hired a lawyer. We believe the employee was either looking to steal things or he was spying on us or filming us to sell overseas. Please stay away and be very careful at these low end resorts. It is true what they say when you have to be careful in the Phillipines. Please be careful. This resort also doesn't have CCTV.

The room was clean but in poor repair. The shower did not work and had luke warm water. There was a problem with the valve that changed from shower to bath, which was a weird set uo since there qas no option to have a bath in the walk in shower. The bed was relatively comfortable. There was only one putlet (for two plugs) in the whole room. They did not have an outlet in the bathroom. They even had a lamp without a place to plug in. So weird.
The staff was so nice and accommadating. They got us an extension with more outlets. They got us a ride to the airport. The views were nice. The pool looked beautiful but we did not go in. The breakfast was good as well.
So, i wanted to highlight the good and the bad. In my opinion the good dod not outweigh the bads unfortunately. I would try somewhere else next time.

4.0 / 10.0
It's just an ok type of resort. Nothing special to write home about. The rooms are ok. Not really nice. Just ok. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dining options suck tho. The breakfast buffet is VERY limited on what you can eat. The dinner menu has options but not a lot. The best part of the entire resort is the pool since there isn't much of a beach. Particularly at low tide. The bathroom are really small and the shower just reeks of the smell of conditioned water. I just couldn't get the air conditioning right either. It was either to hot or to cold. What I hated the most is that NordTropic is just so isolated. You can't walk ANYWHERE. Nothing is close by. If you want to get away, you have to go by taxi or grab car. If you want other restaurant choices, again you have to drive out. There are much BETTER places in Cebu City Center. Close by everything within walking distance and in Cebu City Center, you have a lot more options.

A nice small property. Everyone working there was very nice. Place was clean.
Nothing else right around the resort. A 10 minute or so walk to the main street, or other larger resorts

Awesome Staff
10.0 / 10.0
The room had a great view of ocean and the folding glass doors opened completely sideways to expose the entire room. Food, friendliness and service fantastic. Grounds were manicured perfectly. I stay here all the time, and will be back soon. Everything in the room works and spotless. Bed was so comfortable I had a hard time leaving the room. I can go on and on, can't say enough, and nothing to say on the contrary.

Clean and spacious condo unit. We got complimentary upgrade to sea view. Staff and service was excellent. Pool and grounds were clean and not crowded. Location is gated and not really walkable. Great stay overall!

The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is also accommodating and friendly 24 hours a day. The hotel is small so we could use the clean infinity pool almost exclusively. I would come back again.

Room was old. Beddings are old especially the pillows smells like “used” . Staff are nice , area is clean. This hotel is average and just okay
6.0 / 10.0
I was astonished that cooking was not allowed unless extra fees were paid. No " News," channels on TV. Leather sofa and love chair/reclining chair had a pungent smell and old. No information posted at the lobby for local tours or waterfront beach activities. Breakfast was a great disappointment, very limited selections and amount. No stores in the immediate vicinity to buy basic items. Water beach front had debris. On the positive side, happy cheerful personnel ready to assist, quite and clean facilities, nice view of the beach. Overall satisfactory, C- on the report card.

The Nordtropic Resort is a wonderful place to stay. The service is exceptional. I was treated like family. The rooms are lovely. The view of the beach from the balcony is spectacular. I enjoyed interacting with locals nearby and watching fishermen come and go daily. The chefs are outstanding and food affordable. I never left the resort to eat elsewhere, it was all so delicious and made with detail to match my preferences requested. I look forward to returning and bringing my daughter to explore more and play with the local kids. As an educator and author working from home online, the Nordtropic is exactly what I needed. I am forever grateful. ~ Paul F. Davis

This place was very clean, the staff were all very nice and friendly, it was quiet and comfortable. The only negative was all the house rules, it had cooking facilities, but would cost 1000 pesos to use, if you brought a 300 peso bottle of wine, you have to pay 1000 pesos to take it to your room as well as an additional 1000 pesos for any food you bring. I have stayed at many resorts and never experienced that, but the food in the restaurant was excellent, but the breakfast could use improvement. But all in all we had a good experience!

This is a wonderful secluded, quiet resort. Great to act as a base to explore the islands. Beach is okay and is really an intertidal zone. Provides interest to those interested in nature but not very good for swimming. I would return.

Resort had hostel feel and has awesome pool, private beach, and breakfast. Roght Outside the premises it can be a little sketchy, hence security and locked gates at night. Overall I enjoyed my 2 days here and would return if presented the opportunity.

At first, we thought it would not meet our expectations because it’s not your usual hotel setting. But as we came to the staff and the resort, we felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly, courteous and
helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent! But the one thing I like about the place is it’s peaceful, not overcrowded, and clean.

I stayed for one night here. The room is clean, the private pool is also clean, sanitized and takes no charge to swim.
The pool has really nice view and clean water and I liked it very much.
The entrance staff was really adorable and has good hospitality.
Only one thing I hope to be better is the restaurant facility. There are ants near the food and I feel a bit unclean. Still the food itself was great.

Beautiful view by the sea and good security.

The 2 BR suite were great and the pool as well. Food catered in their restaurant is a bonus with a variety to choose from breakfast to dinner that it saves our time of going out at the property
