The Karancho has nice comfortable rooms, with balcony dining. The service is always great. The Karancho has a beach and easy access to dinning, malls, transportation. You are never very far from anything. The staff is very hospitable. They offer breakfast. You are not stuck in the room like most hotels until you decide to go out. My choice every time. Excellent.

Iwould never recommend the hotel to any non partying Philippino travellers. This place is the lical hang out with 200-300 non guests using the facilities for Karaoke parties until 5am every morning. Yiur room is les than 20 meters from the party.
The management xoukd care less about your need for aleep. They make more money by charging for thier Karaoke party huts.
Teuly if you want any sleep, do not stay here.

An ok Resort near low standard beach
Resort was average in need or repair. Very few people around but has a on duty guard. Beach is low standard with dirty looking water. Should cost less for rooms as a result of low standard. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel with comfortable room
Accommodating staff but with lot people and noise from the cottages. No smoking should be strictly implemented with signages. Lots of garbage at the beach and sea water. Provide garbage containers for recyclable and non recyclable garbage at strategic areas and orient the guests regarding this to maitain cleanliness at the beach and sea water.most of plastic bottles and food wrappers are seen under the sea.

Great for the price!
Only issue - AC didn’t cool the room so they gave us a fan. People are nice and friendly, I think it was worth the price. It’s a small little spot, so there were no crowds, very peaceful, that’s what I wanted. I would stay there again

Poor quality
Good:
Close to supermarket
Lovely little garden
Bad:
Dirty bed sheet with hairs, sands and stains (not sure if it was actually changed after the last stay)
Poor attitude from the receptionists (obviously chit chatting is more important than serving customers; didn't even bother to tell me the breakfast hours and the need of pre-ordering when i was checking in, nor letting me know that the check out procedure was completed while i stood in front of the reception like a fool, let alone saying thank you or goodbye)

Great room/bathroom, not much to do nearby
Great room and bathroom, poor water pressure, you’ve got to ask if you want your room serviced and then it’s barely touched. Breakfast is served when they want to. Outside events down by the private beach can be especially loud and go on till 1-2am on Saturdays and Sundays.
Not much to do /see nearby

Incredibly loud, not recommended
Wanted to spend a weekend in Mactan. There was a party at the hotel with live music and karaoke nonstop. Went to bed with music, woke up with music. The party appeared to be for the whole weekend so we decided to check out, lose two nights, and move to another hotel. Best decision we made. Will not go back nor recommend Karancho.

Mixture of old and new rooms
This hotel has a mixture of old and new rooms. Our second floor new room was nice. The also have a small beach for overnight guests and day use. Close to several good restaurants.
The staff had good composure while dealing with a city wide failure of the water system.
Room price was reasonable. AC, hot water, large towels, fridge, fruit in the room and included breakfast.
Best for couples.

Nice budget hotel,
Not too fancy, but the rooms were clean, the AC worked and the breakfast was good. I chose this hotel over some of the higher priced alternatives in Mactan because I was diving most of the time and did not need luxury accommodations. I was a little disappointed in the beach. For beach a beach hotel it was disappointing. the beach was small and they rent out cabanas to the locals to use so it was quite busy. If I wanted a real beach with a little tranquility I would recommend staying next door at the Cebu White Sand resort or Blue Water Maribago. those resorts are about twice the price but they offer the resort experience I would want if I was spending all day at the property.
