We had a blast with my family”
Our stay in vistamar resort is good. We had a great a time lounging in this hotel. We enjoy the facilities they offered. The staffs are very accomodating with our inquiries. And also they allowed us to check in earlier in our respected room. Keep up the good job. For sure il be coming back. Vista mar makes our cebu experience a memorable one.

Beach location!”
Upon check in I was advised that the room at Vista Mar has faulty door knob. This advice sounds familiar as some guests were also told in earlier review. So I was asked to go to SotoGrande Resort and was upgraded to a suite room. Though the room is excellent what I was expecting is the room that I have booked overlooking the beach at Vista Mar Beach location. My experience was exactly the same experiences that I have read in earlier reviews. I suggest that if you have booked a book at Vista Mar, insist for a room at Vista Mar and not at SotoGrande etc.

Lovely Spanish style hotel”
A beautiful old hotel right at a sandy beach. Very friendly staff. nearly no guests when I arrived. But also all other hotels near by were nearly empty. Why? Due to the typhoon warning nearly everything in Cebu City and Mactan island was closed, but only a bit of rain and wind occurred. great weather forecast!

Unexpectedly beautiful.”
it is peaceful & relaxing. there were 4 of us, all adults including my mother age 75. we enjoyed our stay because of its serenity and its beautiful view. •location:15 mins away from the airport; entrance to the resort is on the same way where sotogrande & la mirada are located •transportation: taxi to/from resort was not difficult. taxis can be requested from the fo,waiting time was less than 20 mins,additional php50.00 was charged. taxis are available anytime accdg to the driver who i interviewed as their unit is associated with the hotel. •lobby & restaurant: well-decorated (better than i expected) •rooms:2 double beds; hot & cold shower, a/c and cables in both rooms were functioning well; with veranda in each room overlooking the beach & beside the villa pool(we were booked in the 1st/f).drinking water may be requested.the resort should have ramps for disabled persons. •breakfast: plated (american or filipino), sumptuous, can be served in the infinity pool area, order was served after almost 30 mins of waiting so request in advance •3 swimming pools: eternity pool, kiddie pool (closed due to strong chemical in use though i think it was intentionally closed because of few guests) & villa pool. the 2 pools though may be enough for you to enjoy swimming. the pools are being shared by guests of la merida & sotogrande, mostly koreans, during our stay there were very few guests in the resort. eternity pool has a lifeguard on duty. proper swimming attire is strictly enforced. •beach: during low-tide it has many starfishes & sea urchins but during high-tide, water is clear and my husband enjoyed swimming. •night-time: no activity; dark but safe with guard •mongolian bbq buffet w/ live entertainment: every fri at php375/pax. delicious except the desserts (cake&fresh fruits) w/c had bland taste. shrimp & tuna were on the list of their menu but were not available. overall, we enjoyed our stay & we'll definitely come back w/ my niece & nephew.

Wonderful Beach hotel , with spanish villa design ”
My stay at vista Mar was short but pleasurable. Enjoyed the beach , swimming pools , and restaurant . The special price deals really topped off the enjoyment of my stay. The only problem we had was with the WiFI , only available in lobby but sometimes not working. didnt matter to me but my girlfriend wanted her WiFI. I would come back again.

Nice place with good customer service”
it is our first time to stay at vista mar beach resort and the place is really cozy.. the pools are nice and the staff are friendly and accomodating.. however, the beach is not that ok for swimming and if you wanna go out you have to wait for about 15-30mins for a cab with additional p50 charge.. overall, if you want a quiet place to spend time with your loved ones, this is a good venue for you..

Nice quiet affordable great view!”
Coming from the city, it was a wonderful change of scenery. This hotel had me at waking up to the view of the sea. And then bfast and swimming with more of the same view! Although the bfast menu was limited, the serving was very big, that 2 could have shared 1 order! The beach was not for swimming, but then i didnt really expect that it would be. I have no complaints on this aspect because i was forewarned that if i wanted beach, mactan was not exactly the place to go. Plus, i had come from Oslob, which had super clean waters and whalesharks! The trip by taxi was not at all difficult, thanks to google maps. For those who do not have google maps, the landmark to look out for are the Mactan Newtown development and the mactan barangay hall. From there on there are signs to follow.

Value for Your Money and Accommodating Staff”
The resort is a very nice and clean place. The room is very clean and cozy including the bathroom, but the sink is a little bit rusty. My children enjoyed the swimming pools and the beach. Although the beach front is very small, at least you can enjoy the white sand there and it's fantastic view. The food are also great, although a bit expensive. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The resort is a bit far from the city, but you can always ask the front desk to get a taxi for you (with additional 50 pesos on top of the final taxi bill). The taxi bill is about 250 to 350 pesos depending where in Cebu City are you going. If you want to spend less, you can also ask the front desk to reserve a service van for you to bring you to the airport or to Marina Mall. Please ask the front desk in advance because the seats are limited and you can only reserve it if you're going out at 10:30am or at 3:00pm.

Old but still charming resort!”
Yes this resort may be old compared to the other resorts in Mactan Island, but its charm is still very much alive as the resort is well maintained and manned by friendly staff. The only complain I have is its very expensive food prices due to too much overcharged in my opinion!

A"mini-scale" 5 star w/ best actual beachside”
i received a room upgrade in their "new building". the room was nice and comfy. the food was good and well priced - especially compared to nearby 5/4/3 star resorts near-by. i loved!! their beach inlet-awesome and beautiful compared to two other resorts i stayed, (they were 4/5 star resorts). the beach on mactan is pretty non-existent so the hotels must create and inlet. i would definitely return to this resort!

you worth it! perfect plce to relax”
nice country club, with pretty private beach and 2 garden swimming pools(one for adult one for child). helpful staff with warm smile, a little far from main street, but you can get relaxing and peaceful feeling once u walk-in. p.s. it seems no beverage and room service after the restaurant close at 10pm.

Very comfortable stay with beach, pool and dining”
Vista Mar set up rooms for us in the building in opposite side of road, which might be of the same owner. That's great when the room is bigger, swimming pool is better and still, we can use facilities of Vista Mar (beach and beach front swimming pool). Breakfast is good. Wifi is ok at lobby, not in room.

Exceptional”
It is the best accommodation. There are three clear swimming pools and a small but neat beach in front of the resort, and waiters are always smiling and friendly. Although the resort is located in remote areas, almost all of the Mactan are located in remote areas.

good hotel”
Pretty soon this hotel will just be washed away by the tide because of neglect, poor management or lack thereof and its deteriorated state. The rooms were good and comfy especially after we had a long flight to Cebu. The staffs were very helpful sensing we were about to start complaining about many things. Here are the drawbacks and I hope the owners can address this if they want to save their property from infamy and oblivion. Location is great on the cliff overlooking the sea but to get to the hotel from the airport could be nightmare, lack of visible signs from the main road, etc. You can ask the front desk to call a taxi but this needs at least a 10 minute wait plus a 50 peso surcharge collected by the driver. From the lobby, the rooms are far and difficult to access up and down short stairs - no elevators. The restaurant is decrepit with a limited menu - it took 90 minutes for our order to come to the table! Our group was kept waiting with the aid of free WiFi and the loud wide screen MTV programs. The aircon units in the restaurant were full blast and set at 29C. Three pools were featured in the website but one of them has been closed and full of green slime - why not just drain it and seal it off? It's a hotel with many unrealized potentials and at present it gives a black eye to the tourism industry there. There must be a law to punish hotels that give a negative image of the city.
