the service and the facilities of the resort are great!! when i arrived the resort, the staff gave me a gift,drink and towel immediately. the service is very very good!!! On the first day, i can't remember what holiday were the philipines celebrating. They offered free drink and food in the souvenir shop. All the staffs were very nice there!! They greeted the guest every time once we had eye contact!!!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Be careful the taxi driver that the resort offered.

Good location, safe man made beach for families with kids.
Swimming pools to enjoy different atmosphere. Though the hotel is conveniently located from Mactan Airport, the noise even in the late night from a nearby disco was quite disturbing. Pool guard could use much more strict rules to people with shoes in the pool. Diving service was excellent and staffs were very helpful. We enjoyed diving around the areas very much.
We were impressed with very good foods and professional services by staffs in the resort and restaurants, however it would be nice if the cafe near Amuma Spa had bigger selection of alcohol beverages . We would also appreciate it if the resort could provide better conditioned rackets for table tennis.
Restaurant Tip : Take a short ride with motor bike called Tuku Tuku to the near by Lapu Lapu shrine to enjoy sea foods at the fish restaurants situated in the areas with mangrove.

the private beach was quite nice than I expected. Specially the small island in front of the beach make the overall beach sight nicer!! the servise of the staff is very low. I would say this hotel is small version of plantation bay but the quality of the service are surely lower than it. But dont know how to judge it coz actually the price is much lower than those 5 star hotel and the food inside the hotel also cheap so you can order more freely...

resort is nicely designed , clean , everything is functioning well, lagune area beautiful, reception efficiant , close to airport, Food&beverage management must be changed urgently, do not dare to not follow the buffet , restaurants have no beverage access , waiters disappear for long to wait at the bar for drinks , do service yourself or you do not get anything for long ...
max sta 3 days because of f&B problem, lagune is not possible for swimming , Spa staff is nice but not well trained This resort is close to the airport , convenient , nicely designed and functional. You can relax and use the watersport facilities but you should not expect any service in the restaurants or bars. Staff there is totally untrained , without guidance.Managers or supervisors do not exist in the restaurants. The Hotel was fully booked but the staff complained that they are short of hands because of low occupancy. Mainly Asian tourist and hardly European guest like in most of Cebu. Since Management of the Hotel is only local , the standard is not up to international levels. This Hotel can be recommended for short stay in consideration of the convenient location to airport.
Hotel Feature Tip : use the hobycat sailing and visit the nearby islands

This complex was great as it was not a high rise complex like others in the area.
Agoda and the resort were very accommodating as we booked last minute.
Hotel Feature Tip : Look out for non-metered taxis picking up at the hotel resulting in much higher prices.

The resort also provide the island hopping tour. The tour guide will lead you to Caohagen island, Hilutungan island and Sulpa island. It costs 75 US dollars per person, which includes transportation, lunch and tour guide.

The bungalows were too expensive to stay. I chose common room. The beach was not very suitable for swimming, because there is a lot of seaweed there. All hotels around there have similar situations, though. I recommend going island hopping or boat diving to enjoy the beautiful ocean. This hotel is very comfortable to stay at and the price was not so expensive.

Kindness of the staff only room in ground floor fairly spacious pool and beach bar by the beach Among the hotels in Cebu is one of the most pleasant, because it is not a building. We had a room giving directly on the beach, the breakfast is excellent. You have the choice between pool and beach, you even have the opportunity to go diving. Finally, what's more enjoyable than watching the sun set in sirtotant a good cocktail ...
Restaurant Tip : Enjoy the happy hour!
