Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Came here for lunch on our first day in Mactan and we will definitely be back. All the food was delicious and the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly with our 1.5 year old. Prompt service as well! We had the pineapple fried rice, mango shakes, beers, shrimp curry and the cove couple bbq platter. Great view of the water! Just make sure you’ve got an extra set of hands if you’ve gotta manage a squirmy baby, too. After a couple of days puttering around, this place is well within budget."
"The beachfront location was incredibly quiet and had a great atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, which made it even more enjoyable. The Cove Beach Platter is perfect for two people, filling them up. It's a convenient walk for those staying nearby."
"I was amazed by how delicious the food was at The Cove Beach Resort. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and you could really tell that great care was put into the preparation. Their platter was especially unforgettable~perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. It’s rare for a resort where the food becomes one of the best parts of the stay, but here, it truly does. I found myself looking forward to every meal. The atmosphere while dining also added to the experience—relaxing, cozy, and welcoming. If you’re visiting, make sure to enjoy their food. It’s honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended."
"Super chill and accommodating staffs. We arrived about 8:50pm and their last order is at 9pm but they still happily served us despite closing soon. Food is really good too and garlic fried rice taste amazing would definitely come back here again"
"This restaurant by the sea boasts truly splendid views. As it features outdoor seating, it can get rather warm, so I recommend visiting during the quieter hours of the afternoon. The staff are all very friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious – it's a place I'd definitely visit again. I highly recommend it."
"Very relaxing atmosphere with a great ocean view,soft music not intrusive. A perfect spot to take your partner for a romantic meal on Valentine's day or any other day. They have a good selection of food and beverages. A great place to unwind! However, make sure you bring some CASH as the don't accept credit cards.It's a hidden gem."
"While the restaurant is known for seafood, their sweet and spicy chicken is a pleasant surprise. The glaze has a good balance of sweetness and heat—enough spice to give it character but still mild enough for kids or non-spicy eaters. The chicken is tender on the inside with a well-caramelized exterior that adds a satisfying bite. It complements the seafood dishes well and is a great option for those who prefer chicken or want something flavorful but not overwhelming."
"All the foods were so fresh and scrumptious! The restaurant grabbed a taxi and provided us a service of nice fruit plate for the delay, which was so sweet! Although it was a bit hot due to the peak sunlight, the view was stunning and all the staff members were super nice and friendly. The steamed blue crab was so meaty and flavorful and Saang were so huge and delicious! Lechon was definitely their main dish. Chicken pandan were sold out unfortunately, but overall, all the foods were awesome. Highly recommended with a decent price!"
