Good place for value
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

2/10 Poor

***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 good and the bad
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.

4/10 Fair

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.

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.

6/10 Good

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
