Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort

Highly recommended! While a bit far from the city center, it's a quintessential resort. The environment is superb, and the snorkeling is decent. The pool is excellent, and the sea-view balcony offers a fantastic vista. Both breakfast and dinner are buffet style.

This was my first time visiting here, despite having worked in the Philippines for so long. The kids absolutely loved it! Even though it's rainy season, the weather was clear and the ocean was a stunning blue. The hotel service was exceptionally thoughtful. As a Ctrip customer, we didn't need to pay a deposit. Getting a taxi when we left wasn't as difficult as some online reviews suggested; a Grab car arrived in just four minutes. My only small suggestion would be that there wasn't enough complimentary drinking water in the room.

Right by the sea! The location is a bit far from the city center, but the views are great! Breakfast is plentiful.

I loved the bathroom, and the hotel's public areas were fantastic – small but exquisitely designed. The dips were delicious, and we had both lunch and dinner here. It's a shame that many lunch items weren't available, but the beef stew at breakfast was excellent. The service was also great.

The room had a balcony with a great sea view, and the bedding was so comfortable I wanted to buy it! Breakfast was plentiful, and the bagels were excellent – definitely the best meal we had on this trip to the Philippines. The sea was like a 'jelly ocean' (crystal clear), and my child even saw a clownfish while swimming. The sand on the beach was slightly inferior to what you'd find in Bohol. The service was warm and attentive; they even helped us freeze some equipment and really went out of their way to meet our requests. It's close to the airport, and the hygiene was good.

We chose to stay here a day early after our Bohol vacation because we didn't want to wake up early for the ferry to Cebu Airport. It's about a 50-minute drive from the Cebu pier and 30 minutes from the airport, so the transportation is quite decent. The environment lives up to Sheraton's quality. The hotel seems relatively new, so the facilities are very well maintained, and the views are absolutely stunning. Our room type had two 1.3-meter double beds, perfect for two adults and two children, with one adult sharing a bed with one child. The bathroom is spacious and clearly partitioned, with a well-designed shower, toilet, bathtub, vanity, and storage. The bedroom lighting is excellent, and the night light is a definite plus – just enough light for adults to browse their phones after the kids are asleep without waking them up. Now, for a complaint about the food. We had the dinner buffet at 5cien, and it was, without a doubt, the worst buffet I've ever had. Not a single dish was to my taste. The selection wasn't extensive to begin with, and then the food itself was just bad. It really doesn't justify the price of approximately 235 RMB per person. I tried everything, and it was practically inedible and a waste of ingredients. In the end, I had no choice but to eat the steamed dishes, but even those felt a bit undercooked. Because of that evening's experience, my expectations for breakfast the next day were very low. I didn't dare to hope for anything good, just ate a little and quickly checked out. Breakfast was slightly better than dinner, but that's about all I can say.
