Our story · Meet Madame G
I’ve lived in forty countries. I came home to host you.
I’m Teza, Madame G. After a decade on the road, I came home to the southern tip of Cebu to build the kind of place I always wished I could find while travelling: clean, beautiful, connected, and warm, run by someone who actually hosts.
I cook, I collect a little art, and I know which boat leaves at dawn for the whale sharks, which crossing gets you to Negros, and where the good coffee is. Every stay under my name is chosen and looked after by me. The gold is my taste; the warmth is the welcome.
“You are looked after here.”

The places
Three collections, one pair of hands.
From the beachfront south to the cool hills above the city and a few well-placed city stays, every place under my name is one I chose and look after myself.
Beachfront South Cebu
The flagship, G Boutique Resort in Santander, right at the southern tip: cabanas, beach pools, spa and G Bistro, fifteen minutes from the Oslob whale sharks and a short crossing to Negros.

The Busay retreats, The French Villa and the Secret Hut tree-huts, perched in the cool green hills above Cebu City for a quieter, leafier escape.

A few chosen condos in Makati, Cebu IT Park and Mactan, for the nights in town before or after the south.

Spotless, connected, and properly sorted.
These are the four things every Madame G stay is held to. They sound simple because they are, and they are the reason the reviews read the way they do.
Spotless
Every stay is cleaned and checked to one standard, mine, whether it is a beachfront cabana or a city studio.
Connected
Fast WiFi, the right plugs, and a host who replies, so the practical things never get in the way of the trip.
Sorted
Transfers, day tours, the dawn boat for the whale sharks, a table at G Bistro, arranged for you, not improvised.
Personally hosted
Chosen and looked after by me, not handed off to a manager you will never meet. That is what the name means.
Come and stay.
You will be met at the gate, shown around, and looked after for the whole of your stay, by someone who actually hosts. That is the whole idea.
