Hotel berhampiran Marine Away Dive School, Bandar Lapu-Lapu

First night we stayed in a room with a garden view which was really only a car park view. Nothing much to write home about. Upgraded the second night to a room with a sea view and a balcony and the experience was much more enjoyable and the view much more beautiful. Service was great and the rooms were clean. Food in the breakfast buffet was delicious and varied and the sports bar had lovely food and drinks with a beautiful view of the ocean. The outdoor pool was also beautiful and great for children to play in as it isn’t very deep (about 4 foot deep the entire length of the pool)

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.

Crimson Mactan went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The staff was warm, courteous, attentive and quick to respond. Breakfast spread was incredible, props to the head chef who made sure everything that comes out of the kitchen is of quality. We chose Crimson as our wedding venue and while it rained during our reception, the whole team was quick to respond to transfer everyone to the ballroom to keep the party going! They were also generous enough to hold a foam pool party for us the day after the wedding. The premises were clean and beautiful, rooms are cozy... we have no regrets with holding the best day of our lives at Crimson Mactan!

It was better than my expectations. They allowed early check in for us. I liked the Philippines style room interior. Breakfast was good. Everything was clean and comfortable. Facilities are well maintained and safe for children. There are pools for kids and adults. Can use the shelters right next to beach. There are also activity corners next to the beach. Restaurants are a bit expensive than outside, but food was delicious and good service. They don’t allow food delivery. But you can being meals or food in your room and only allowed to eat in the room. I would definitely recommend for family travelers.

Keputusan impulsif pada hari itu mendorong kami untuk menempah Amuma Spa Suite Room di Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort. Semasa mendaftar masuk, kami diberi Bilik Premier yang jaraknya berjalan kaki ke pantai. Kami tidak keberatan dengan perubahan kerana harga bilik lebih banyak daripada yang kami pesan walaupun tidak 50sqm berbanding Spa Suite tetapi ia mempunyai tab mandi yang sangat besar dan ia berada di bangunan baru. Sarapan bufet disertakan yang tidak begitu luas tetapi sesuai untuk harga bilik dan citarasa sesuai untuk orang Filipina. Kami juga mencuba pizza mereka di Cafe Delfinos dan itu bagus. Yang tidak kami gemari ialah koktel yang hanya terasa seperti jus oren dan bukan Tequila Sunrise yang saya harapkan. Perkhidmatan kakitangan terpuji dalam melaksanakan protokol kesihatan semasa check-in tetapi ketika di kawasan pantai dan kolam renang, orang ramai (berhati-hati dengan terlalu banyak pengguna hari dan penyedia keahlian, tetamu di rumah adalah orang yang perlu menyesuaikan diri 😂) tidak mengikuti protokol dan hanya diperhatikan oleh keselamatan dan tidak dipanggil. Juga, yang memerlukan penambahbaikan adalah Spa Attendant kerana dia cenderung bertengkar dengan pelanggan (semasa sesi gim saya kerana saya meminta cawan kertas untuk air dan tisu sehingga saya dapat menghapus mesin yang saya gunakan tetapi dia sangat sombong dalam berkomunikasi) dan Atendan Perkhidmatan Pengemasan kerana mereka lupa memasukkan air percuma di bilik kami dan sudu teh untuk kopi / teh. Pantai juga tidak kondusif untuk berenang (hanya untuk berendam), cukup kotor dan mengharapkan orang luar menawarkan pulau untuk anda.

j park was the last on our Cebu trip. I thought a good resort will make us relax before leaving...but NO...this should have been the first on the trip. if you are planning to stay here, this is a good tip to have a full experience. although the the check in is 3pm, you can use the water park as soon as it opens, also you can still use it after your check out until the park closes. the pools and slides are fun, the beach area is great during sunset. a lot of in-house resto and bars but you can also grab your meals without corkage, if you eat it in your room. the connecting suits we booked were spacious and clean. bathroom has shower and tub area, the beds are soooo comfy, and the view is breathtaking. all in all, it was the cherry at the top of our vacation...and pls don't forget to claim your photo shoot. worth it!

Unfortunately this location is 2-3 times the cost of their other location near IT Park which is actually much nicer, but the convenience of being able to walk across the street to or from the airport makes it worth the cost.

We had an amazing stay for the fourth time. The place was great, the people were so nice and there were lots of things to do in the resort. We loved the restaurant especially the food it was delicious and affordable. It is a perfect place for us to relax with my family.

Such a beautiful resort !!! I didn’t get the most welcoming check in but Ralph checked in my friend and he got a room right away. We switched to Ralph and he handed everything to quickly and there was room available for us as well . He’s so competent, approach and very warm towards the guest . Aside the check in, the breakfast has lots of options , cocktails bars / happy hours Monday to Thursday great deal !! I loved Salt and sky bar on the rooftop, the sunset view amazing . Paddle board , kayaking and the 8 different pools that we tested . Want grill menu , amazing, and the waiter will bring your cocktail to the beach as well. Over the friendly staff made the trip so enjoyable and the other guest , mainly Korean so friendly and kind. I had the best Christmas on this resort and I can’t wait to return back with my husband.

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.
