La Joya Farm Resort & Spa

Quiet, clean and the food prep was excellent. Housekeeping was spot on and the grounds were kept very well. Gardens are amazing. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

One area to improve is with the time it takes to get food after ordering. ( 1 hour plus every time, and we were the only guests on site)

Perfect stay for rest and relaxation. Beautiful view from balcony. Room spacious and clean. Staff super friendly and attentive. Will stay there again just for a great R&R. Ceres South Bus from Cebu City stops in front of Carcar Gaisano Mall where there are tricyles or motorcycles to hire.

Lodge not easy to reach relying on public transport. Contracted tricycle, instead of riding on back of a motorcycle, for noisy ride on what can be winding and bumpy road. No Grab or regular taxis in the area.

We booked this place as a one night stop over but wish we'd stayed longer. We stayed in a villa and it was gorgeous, set overlooking lush green forest so tranquil and relaxing. The food was lovely both evening meal and breakfast. Staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Definitely recommend ?

Beautiful resort, very peaceful and quiet in the heart of nature. The pool is lovely, overlooking amazing greenery and the dome tents were very comfortable, especially the beds! The upgraded us one night to the Oasis Dome which had a lovely bathroom and beautiful bathtub. The property is very quiet so there is not so much to do but the views and wonderful and its an excellent place to relax with friends and family and recharge in nature. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

The resort is not in the center of many activities so we mostly relaxed and enjoyed the nature. It would be nice to have a few hiking trails around but due to the rains the trails were flooded.

Beautiful location and views, set in the mountains of Cebu.

I had booked for my last 2 nights a villa with a pool, they had construction workers next door who could see directly in and were making lots of noise. Hardly a relaxing experience. The resort was not full so I am not sure why they needed to fix the villa whilst I was there or they could have put me in another villa. Being an interior designer I can tell you that the main pool tiles are not suitable for commercial use, they have no slip rating, and there is no hand rail to get down to the pool, so it looks nice but very dangerous I am surprised no one has hurt themselves yet! The decking my the main pool needs fixing, it’s bowing in quite a few places and once again very dangerous. I tripped in one place.

The room was super nice!, the beds were great. The view from the room also. Nice pool with nice view. Good restaurant and food. Our highlight was the massage, the woman was SO GOOD and it’s amazing to have it outside while hearing nature

In Philippine terms it’s expensive and far away so you need to calculate some extra to get there and go back from there. There is nothing nearby so it’s a relax and stay place!

View is nice, the resort looks new

- Noisy environment (they let people make noise till 1am- some stuff did not work well, for example the hair dryer- no phone in the room, no other way of communicating with them especially as reception is non existent- disappointing breakfast- Most notably, was charged 200php for a small water glass that got broken. That water glass does not cost more than 10php but they seem very greedy and they want to make money off you. Very dissapointing

This hotel is located on a hill in the middle of the tropical forest. The view from the room balcony is wonderful indeed. I can say that is not so easy to get there from Cebu city but it’s worth it. The room was not large enough but very comfortable with a balcony and a small swimming pool on it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Really the best place in Filipinos.

One of the most beautiful places we've stayed in. Everything is so immaculately designed and stunning. The food was also very yummy, and they staff were very kind and friendly.

We were the only guests at the hotel which felt a bit strange

Clean and well maintained place. The location is not that far from the town. The ambiance is so relaxing. The staff are so accomodating except for their manager.

They didn't let us exceed even one person in the room that we booked . Ended up renting another room just for 1 extra person, however it could have fitted us in that room. No food to be brought oustside.

BEWARE! There is no Spa at this resort.

BEWARE! The resort does not have a Spa, they call themselves a Spa but are not. Furthermore, the food is very blend en my wife got food poisoning. We had to leave after one night, at first they said they could get us a cab, which felt like we were trapped in the resort. After hammering on the fact that my wife needed to see a doctor they did got us a trike, to be able to go to the city...

Loved the nature and the way La Joya is incorporating its "farming" into the landscape. There are nice strolls to do in the vicinity and on a hot day the pool was also wonderfully refreshing.

The staff was friendly, but sometimes the wait was long for things that had been ordered. This is partly due to long ways to get things from a different location.

the pool and the setting are second to none , we were lucky enough to be the only guests in our two day mid week stay , our own exclusive paridise. Staffing is excellent and restaurant was outstanding.

What a gem, lovely location, gorgeous gardens, comfortable rooms, great service Unique and special place

Could only be improved with decent coffee…

Beautifully kept gardens, nice woman at the reception, great service at the restaurant.

I do not choose a hotel like this, isolated in nature and with a great relaxing view to listen to Usher and 50 Cents super loud at the swimming pool / meditation area. The music was insanely loud and distasteful, well below the hotel’s standing…

It was super relaxing and it has an amazing view

No wifi or tv. It’s also hard to get there since there’s no public transportation available nearby.

Ambiance

Mosquitoes but the resort provided us with mosquito repellant

The breakfast was so good. The staff were so accommodating.

Loved everything about the place. Such a serene and relaxing break from the busy city life. The room was amazing and the staff very attentive to our needs. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful staff and beautiful place. Very relaxing and peaceful place to stay
