    One of this places that deserves 15/10 points. Both Billy and Joy (BJs) are just wonderful hosts in any way imaginable. You feel like home, the moment you enter the property. We got a tone of valuable ideas and knowledge about the area and Cebu, which helped us to pick the right style of travelling that fits our needs. Thanks again and all the best 🙂

    Argao is a hidden gem. Totally enjoyed our short stay here. The owners are lovely, very friendly and helpful. They make you feel like family. Breakfast is huge and delicious. The room was compact, with a good shower and plenty of hot water. We were a stones throw from the beach area. The beach was not as appealing as other beaches on Cebu; however the local activity was a real treat. I could have sat for hours watching the local fishermen and families. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was a delight to be off the tourist track. Delicious bakery and restaurant 2-minute walk away. BJs has a top viewing deck where you can walk the sunset or sunrise with ocean view. So relaxing. Simala shrine is an easy drive/ride and half day trip from Argao (about 30minutes) Definitely recommend staying here and including Argao on your agenda.

    narrow road and limited parking space. Rest of the place is cozy with plants which make the air smell fresh and quite far from the busy street.

    Breakfast is superb! Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Place is peaceful and privacy is maintained. Clean and fresh air, ocean view is refreshing! Very near the church and beaches.

    The owner Miss Joy and Billy are so accomodating. The location is also good since its just near coffee shop, restaurants and a 2min walk at the beach. The place is 100% exceptional! The breakfast is superb. Miss joy even gave us Banana cake which she baked during our stay. It is super yummy. We had a combo breakfast. Danggit, chorizo and bacon omelette. Super! A must try breakfast. Hopefully they will open their restaurant again soon. Thank you Billy and Miss Joy! Will surely love to visit again soon.

    If I could give BJs seaside a 15/10 score, I would! It’s exactly how it is advertised and no wonder they have such a high rating! 🩵 Place was easy to find. It’s by the sea, but just a 5 minute walk away from the main road. Nothing Google maps can’t help you with. 🩵 The hosts were very accommodating! Billy and Joy were very warm and helpful. Billy’s favorite phrase during our stay was, “Anything I can help you with?” My mom and aunt had a good chat with Joy about her plants. Her garden is incredible, making the whole place shades even in these hot summer days! 🩵 The place was very clean and our room had everything we need. There is a shared dining area just outside our door. Easy access to drinking water and free tea and coffee! I’ve been to a few small B&B places in local provinces as well as in some Asian countries, and by far BJs is NOW currently on top of my list. 🩵 THE BREAKFAST!!! OH MY!!! As a breakfast person (who wakes up early during vacation just to eat at hostels and hotels I’m staying at), I can’t even describe how amazing the breakfast was!!!! I would pay tons for that french toast meal if it was served at a brunch cafe. Thank you, BJs! Definitely worthy of its price and more. Thank you for making our short stay warm, memorable, and delicious! Sea you again soon! 🙏🏼

    The only thing that I did'nt like was that most trike drivers did not know where BJ's was located but once I knew where the place was it was not to hard to give them directions.

    Staff were very friendiy , The room was comfortable, place was located in an area that was easy to go to all the atractions in argao.

    Incredible stay in a quiet town

    An incredible stay in Argao. Everything exceeded our expectations. We stayed as a family of 7 and booked two rooms. Everything was spotlessly clean and the views from the roof were spectacular. Breakfast was incredible - my daughter declared the french toast the best she has ever eaten. We so enjoyed our time with Billy and Joy. Our teenagers especially loved getting to know some of the teens in the area - basketball every night. Argao is not a 'tourist' destination, which is part of why we loved it so much. We spent a lot of time at the local beach and walking around the streets. There are plenty of food options and a large grocery store. We originally thought this would be a quick stop to break up long bus rides to Oslob. We ended up extending our stay to a week...and still could have stayed longer. Thank you Billy and Joy for such a wonderful week!

    Billy and Joy made us feel like we where family on visit. Sadly they hope to sell the place to retire. So if you have interest to have this kind of business contact them, and we hope you then will keep up with the same standard and family feeling.
