Pulchra Resort

We had a great and relaxing time. The staff is very friendly and we felt welcome. The fact that there was no TV in our room was a surprise. The food is good, but the portions are rather small. We can recommend the Pulchra Resort if you are looking for a quite and relaxing quality time. Some corners may need a renovation sooner or later, but over all we say thank you and we will come back.

The place is beautiful, but it’s completely different than there beautiful website. It needs renovation and the fact it was so quite with so little bookings, it seems that it won’t be done fast, as this will be a huge investment. The island itself we didn’t like compared to all the other beautiful island. The good thing is that this resort is away from all the rush outside this resort. It’s like un own world in the hectic and dirty environment Cebu and it’s surroundings. The staff is super friendly and their food is outstanding. For a vegan they have amazing fresh organic food from their own gardens. Honestly we thought it was a bit overpriced and a bad thing they didn’t offer pick up service from the port when you arrive with the ferry from Bohol

For the longest time living here in the Queen City of the South, I have 'Pulchra Resort Cebu' in my bucket list as my dream resort destination for a Staycation. Every time I travel and passed by the Municipality of San Fernando going to Southern Cebu through the years, I Iooked up the resort signage design along the highway from a distance behind the car window, silently wishing in the back of my mind that one day that dream will come true. Pulchra is a world-class-5 star resort with international standard perfect for foreign guests especially the Japanese. Having said that, I know staying in such a beautiful paradise surrounded with nature would cost me a lot of money and it's hard on the pocket. The whole property is quiet and serene where you and Mother Nature become one and you feel exclusive as a VIP guest. The whole experience is totally an awesome retreat both for the soul and the body with different species of trees, edible plants and lush vegetation around you plus healthy fresh food promoting the farm-to-table concept. The food served on the table came directly from the farm which is a walking distance from the lobby. You'll appreciate where the food that you intake in Ventus Restaurant came from. When we went swimming in the private Jacuzzi pool of our Pool Lagoon Suite room and in the infinity pool facing the beach (because of the breaker sea waves on that day, the guests were forbidden to use it), I've seen the birds dancing as they fly in the clear blue sky above the pool where time stood still. It gives us a sense of being disconnected from busy, urban life and recharge with nature where the birds, the sky, the trees and I are one. It was the best way for Michael, Michele, Nykha, Kawi and me to bond and unwind even for a day. We feel that the whole 8.3 hectare property exclusively reserved just for us as if we are in another country having a great holiday vacation. It was one beautiful day where I got the chance to have a guided tour of the Pool Garden Villa, Tulaw/Floating Hut, and the farm. I want to experience it all over and over again and shout out to all the staff and guides in making our magnificent stay memorable, indeed. My utmost gratitude to Ms Ana Rhea, Pulchra Administrator Jane Flores-Cebrian and Front Office Supervisor Noemi L. Pedrano for all the helps in making sure for this old time dream to come true.
