Hotel Bandar Lapu-Lapu dengan Spa

Mixed Experience at Maribago Blue Waters Maribago Blue Waters has always held a special place in our hearts, as we’ve loved coming here since we were kids. However, during our recent stay, we noticed some areas that could use improvement. While the more expensive rooms are definitely worth the price, the deluxe rooms at 7k don’t quite live up to expectations. They feel outdated, like they haven’t been updated in 20 years. The restaurant and spa are also quite pricey, especially the spa, which felt a bit too expensive for what it offers. During weekends, the resort can get pretty crowded, likely due to the number of walk-in guests. However, the staff are super friendly and always make you feel welcome. One highlight of our stay was the amazing breakfast, offering a great variety from local Filipino favorites to international dishes. We especially loved the guy selling ”taho”—it brought back some wonderful childhood memories! While we still have a soft spot for Maribago Blue Waters, it feels like some things need improvement to live up to the resort’s reputation.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel, they had an endless amount of activities that even staying for 3 nights we didn’t scratch the surface! The food was also great, we were able to get lots of different Filipino dishes as well as international dishes that we can’t get when we’re back in China. Highly recommended!

We booked two rooms and we were only able to get one room when we checked in and the other room an hour and a half after! We followed up multiple times and complained about how the room wasn’t ready when it’s already the check-in time. They told us that the staff was already on the way up to bring the key card for the other room yet it took a long time (given the fact that the rooms were just at the second floor, above the lobby) when we followed up for the third time, we were told that the card was being brought from the main wing that’s why it’s taking so long like? we literally got the key card from our first room on the front desk lobby below our floor (ocean wing). They are also very strict about the room capacity that you have to pay 3k plus to pay for an extra person unlike other four-five star hotels. The room was also dusty, my boyfriend kept sneezing non-stop when we went in the room and had to take anti-histamine. Facilities were great though.

Supply air diffuser noise was substandard. I could not sleep well. Maybe it was like 50 dBA. It should supposedly less than 35 dBA. Toilet shower vavle and the tub drain were malfunctioned. Ocean view room is too pricey for a small room. The breakfast buffet, and the amenities were great! I would not recommend staying there for long as it is too pricey for a small room with noisy supply air diffuser.

My children had a fantastic time at this place! They enjoyed the waterpark so much that they spent the entire day there. Pororo Land was also a fun experience, although I felt that the two hours allotted wasn't quite enough and seemed a bit pricey. Nevertheless, we all really enjoyed the various activities my partner and the kids participated in. Overall, it was a memorable day!

We stayed two nights here before continuing our journey. The stay was very pleasant. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, as were the lunches and dinners. The service was very good in all areas: the front desk, the pool, the restaurants and the cleaning service. We would stay there again.

Amazing hotel with unbelievably helpful staff! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly! Everything is provided for you so there is no need to travel outside the resort :)

We spent 8 days at the resort, our first ever stay at the resort. Although it is by the sea, beach area is very small. You cannot go for a stroll on the sea…which kinda beats the purpose of being by the sea. Still, view from the Azure restaurant - where we used to sit most of the day- was nice. It’s supposed to be ‘garden resort’! With rooms on the ground level in a hut kinda setup. Very very few villas if they have beach view.  It was quite relaxing with fresh air though. Pool is nice. Very well maintained property. Food at the breakfast was fantastic. And the staff even more so. Very helpful and caring. They looked after us extremely well. Special thank you to dear Jana who prepared special food for us everyday. Generally everyone at the hotel were top class!  Spa was nice too. Dimi who helped me there was excellent at her job.

We arrived at 2:00 AM and wanted a place to stay near the airport. This is about as close as you can get. We were hoping to walk from the international terminal to the hotel but it didn't look walkable when we arrived so we had to call a taxi to take us the 400m. Overall we had a positive experience. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the breakfast was decent.

Every thing is good and smooth especially us a seniors travelers, the staff are accommodating they also offer a free shuttle service going to airport as we are also traveling to other places. There breakfast food are delicious, we enjoy it a lot.
