Not for everyone, but we found it unforgettable!
The size of our room was good. While it's listed as a sea view room, it's not really. There is a pavilion in the way where people eat and check in. While that was a bummer in one sense, as I have been in sea views where the room is situated to see the water, and that isn't the case. There is a nice porch and the beach in close. The shower had good pressure. The air conditioning was suited for the room. It is off the beaten track, which is both good and bad. The staff overall was friendly and helpful. Overall, the staff made things awesome. They were thoughtful and flexible. It was our wedding anniversary, and they also made a bouquet of flowers for us, which was really thoughtful.
The staff was amazing. Their help was wonderful in getting into town was great, but there was a significant price change depending on which staff member made that reservation. We really enjoyed going into town for roasted chicken and pork, the ATM, and more.
It's a decent beach, but not a white sands soft-bottom beach. The bathroom was spacious, and it was wonderful to have a clothes line that was so long that it fit a wet environment of clothing and towels. Liked the food, but sometimes it took too long to come out. I liked the location because it was removed from congestion. We had gone up to Moalboal, and it was not appealing at all. Liked the sunsets and the people. Sizable room was appreciate.
The ride to the resort is long under the best of circumstances. 3+ hours. The resort helped set up the taxi and thy were great.
Its a very local place and keep that in mind. Loved feeling the local vibe but not everyone will enjoy that, but it was a great place for us. Local and removed from the mess of Moalboal. We went up there and it was packed and thick with people on narrow roads. So happy to have p-icked Marika Resort. I have made too many reservations over so many years and anything on a beach is a tough choice and a crap shoot, but this was a great place to be, but its not for everyone, that is true, but keep in mind there isn't much in walking distance, but that was part of the adventure to get into town.
The big test is always, would we return? Yes, most certainly, but there are 7800 islands in the Philliphines, so..........there are so many places to see, and Marika and Cebu has helped us again realize that there are so many wonderful places to visit in part because of the wonderful people!

Disappointing Experience Despite Nice Setting
We visited Marika Beach Resort in Badian today and left feeling quite disappointed by the lack of clear communication and overall value.
Upon arrival, we asked about the day pass and were told it was ₱750 per person. Based on that, we initially hesitated but later decided to stay and ordered drinks while settling in.
Shortly after, we were informed that the beachfront cabanas are only for checked-in guests, which is understandable. However, we were then told that the ₱750 fee applies to everyone, including very young children. We were expected to pay the full rate for our 4-year-old and 2-year-old, bringing the total to ₱3,750.
This was not made clear at the outset, and had we known the full cost upfront, we would not have considered staying. We were willing to pay for the three adults and had planned to stay for both lunch and dinner, so we likely would have spent a significant amount on food and drinks during the day.
Instead, the pricing structure made it feel unreasonable for what we needed at the time, which was simply a place to relax briefly and shower after using the public beach.
When paying for our drinks, we mentioned we might return later for dinner. We were told that walk-in guests would not be accommodated due to a booking of around 20 people. However, when we passed by again later that evening, the resort appeared quiet.
Overall, while the setting itself looks pleasant, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly communicated. Greater transparency on pricing (especially regarding young children) and clearer, more reliable information about availability would significantly improve the guest experience.

Need to improved sink and shower area. Its always clogged. Toiletries should also be provided at the room as stated in their ads. No shampoo and no soap and no coffees in the room.
