Plantation Bay is again my favorite hotel on Mactan. I was there August of 22, January of this year and just finished a stay in May. Here are some things to consider about Plantation Bay: - It’s the only large Filipino owned resort on Mactan and they must treat there staff incredibly well because everyone I spoke with has worked there 10+years - unlike other resorts they have a no tipping policy - The large salt water lagoons are beautiful and large enough that they never feel crowded - Plantation Bay offers a variety of food options for every taste - They have a wide variety of on site activities and offer multiple excursions outside the resort for reasonable prices To be fair there were a couple of things that could improve but those are minor - The beach towels need to be replaced. The bathroom towels are great but the beach towels were old and thin - During busy periods when you call bell service or guest relations the phone just rings with no answer. Overall though, this is the best place to stay on Mactan. Great service, unique activities, great staff, and some of the best swimming pools anywhere Here are some tips: - if you are not traveling with kids, the waters edge rooms are amazing. You can step from your deck directly into the lagoon - Consider the Route 66 Diner for breakfast. Good food and never crowded -A romantic dinner at Palermo’s is a great option on site - I paid the extra $50 to have a car drop us off and pick us up at our room and it was definitely worth it. You get checked in/out at your room saving time Highly recommend this great hotel

I stayed here twice in April & May 2023 and was consistently impressed with the staff & the property. The staff was very friendly, helpful, accommodating and very courteous. The deluxe room had a great view, was large, clean, modern and very comfortable all around. The buffet breakfast was excellent with good selection of Western and Pilipino dishes. And the table service was excellent—shout out to Ariel and staff for a very attentive service! I was also pleasantly surprised at the quality & selection of drink’s & pastries at the Cafe also punctuated by excellent service. The property has 3 great pools, a small private beach , picnic area & fitness center. For me the only service missing is the food room service but it’s a minor item for what I needed. The location is an about 30 min from Mactan airport in a secluded gated area. Getting here was through local neighborhood and inconvenient from other restaurants & services so you’re pretty much will be staying on the property unless you want to go out for a long drive. I paid 650 pesos for a Grab ride around noon time from IT park to Reef. I have been to many 5 star Western style resort hotels in US, Europe & Asia and Reef compares well especially if you can book a discounted room for less than $150 USD. Overall, I highly recommend the Reef Island Resort hotel and will return again when I’m in the area. Definitely a good value for the money and excellent staff.

We had the pleasure to eat at Belmont Cafe. It was an exceptional experience and the service was second to none. From the greeting upon entry to the quality of food and the attentiveness we received, the entire time was incredible. We had the four cheese pizza, fresh lumpia, Laing and other items. The food was beyond delicious and can’t wait to taste more dishes in the future. We want to give special recognition for Chef Ri, she checked on us to make sure we enjoyed the food, a rare thing and much appreciated. Special recognition as well to our server Michael, he went above and beyond to make our visit memorable and was one of the most attentive I have seen, he provided the highest quality of service and others in the future will have a hard time matching his skills. Thank you for all you did to make our dinner one we will not forget.

I enjoyed everything here, every staff we met greeted us like we’re friends and they’re very helpful too. Looks like the hotel is manned properly. And the hotel itself is family friendly.

Very good location, it’s right in front of airport but walking towards the hotel is very hard because the elevator is broken. So have to walk upwards with our heavy luggage, very tiring and suffering. Hotel room is furniture is very antique and old. Room facing a destroyed building. Amenities wise very sufficient even have shaver. Breakfast is good, better than food in Manila. Pit Senyor!

First of all I would like to thank you for the smooth check in at otravel. As I requested for early check in it was very fast. . Employees are very professional and helpful.plus they have a free coffee Daily. If you are looking for a friendly budgetel ostavel is the perfect place to stay and relaxed.

I would have given this hotel 5 Stars had it not been for: Taxi 40 minutes late at the airport, in spite of confirmation of time from the hotel; Some food items (including Coca Cola) not being available from the room service menu; and Water dripping from ceiling and soaking floor and bed in heavy thunderstorm. So, in summary: The Good: Very polite and attentive staff at all times; Offer to relocate us to a different room on the second night (we were told we could not move on the first night - when we booked through Expedia they advertised this was the last room available. It was our choice to stay in the same room, as there was no forecast of further storms on the second - and final - night of our stay); Room service fast (typically 15 minutes) with a good selection of nice food and large portions. Food hot as well when it arrived; Good sized room and faciities; Food (and room service) from the adjacent Rabbit Hole restaurant all good; and Staff immediately replaced the bed sheets and made sure no further water impacted on the bed area. The Bad: Taxi late; Some food items not available from the room service menu; and The room service is from the Rabbit Hole restaurant so has to be paid for when it arrives in your room - the cost cannot be added to your bill. The Wet: Unfortunately, on our first night (of two) there was a very heavy thunderstorm and whilst I was watching the lightning I also noticed water dripping through the ceiling, which soaked the floor and bed sheets. This was attended to immediately by the staff, but it undermined the quality of the stay at the hotel. Would we go to the hotel again: Yes, of course, but avoid ROOM 404.

The affordable and nearest hotel to the Mactan Airport. Just a ride or if you have a light baggage, you may have a walk to the airport. The staff are kind and good, hey even upgraded our room to the next level room type. The facility is fairly good and clean. Though it is not the same with some popular hotels with exceptional amenities. The room that we had have no equipments such as bidet, water heater or even bottles of drinking water. For a quick rest and stay, its good.

I was looking for a hotel near the airport and near the grocery and restaurants during a recent trip to Cebu. My usual stay had a big price increase and since it was far from the airport, I tried looking for a new hotel. I used to stay at other hotels near Felicity and thought that the prices were a bit steep for hotels without pools. I chanced on them while browsing Google Maps and gave them a call. It's good that they had a vacancy and so I made my way from the client site to the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with the bright lobby. The single room, though, had a weird layout with the sink just behind the door but not inside the bathroom. Still it was value for money because it had hot and cold water, a cool air conditioner, a refrigerator, a flat screen TV and clean sheets. Since it was just beside the highway, I expected to hear scooters darting across. Well, most of the noise came from fellow guests walking through the corridors after making bar crawls, I guess. Aside from that, the hotel is great value for money. I'm looking forward to staying with them in future trips.

We had a late and delayed flight but grateful the van (free airport shuttle) waited for us. The lobby was simple & check-in was easy. Before going up to our room, they asked us to get the amenities we need (dental kits, shaving kits & combs). We stayed at the Twin C Room, it has a big ref, kitchen sink, tv, microwave, dining table & chairs & 2 big beds. The bathroom was like the ones in Japan, compact & small. There were no cabinets too. The beds were comfortable to sleep on & the ac was working well. Breakfast was served in what was like a cafeteria hall, it was supposed to be plated but it was served buffet style, breakfast menu was simple. It changes everyday. Location of the hotel is superb & convenient because its connected to J Centre Mall and there were pharmacies, banks, convenience stores & a spa nearby. Happy to have our massage there. The hotel was also beside the Skywater theme park but unfortunately it was indefinitely closed. Checkout was easy too. They allowed us to leave our luggage because we have a late flight, we just came back for it. We weren’t able to avail of the free shuttle going back to the airport because we weren’t able to book a day before (it’s not automatic even if they have your flight information), good thing we have relatives to bring us to the airport. Overall, price was reasonable and we had a nice & comfortable stay here.
