Hotel sul mare a Lapu-Lapu

I had a pleasant stay at Plantations Resort Mactan and appreciated the peaceful surroundings and overall atmosphere. However, considering the price, I expected a little more in terms of room facilities and value. Some areas felt dated, such as the television, which was an older model and not a smart TV. The room windows also allowed quite a bit of outside light in, which affected the comfort at night. The games room was a nice idea, but having to use tokens for the games felt a little disappointing given the overall cost of the stay. The resort has potential and a lovely setting, but some updates and added value would make the experience feel more in line with the price.

This turned out to be an incredible choice for our family; Though it is a refurbished property, the rooms' size is very good. The beach was nice and the most astonishing thing for us was the small rock formation near its beach, which hosted an incredible variety of fish and other forms of life. Just a pair of swimming googles or the snorkeling rental equipment here could get one ready in a matter of minutes from your room. The breakfast spread was good and the 'chocolate hour' in the afternoon was a hit amongst all kids and adults.

Frequento il Costabella da quasi 20 anni e l'ho sempre considerato un hotel piacevole e ben tenuto. Anzi, mi sono persino sposato qui! Tuttavia, durante il mio ultimo soggiorno, l'esperienza è stata decisamente al di sotto delle aspettative. Avevamo prenotato una camera con vista piscina e, dopo il check-in, sono rimasto sinceramente sorpreso di scoprire che la camera si trovava al terzo piano. In base alle mie numerose esperienze precedenti, avevo sempre pensato che le camere con vista piscina fossero quelle adiacenti alla piscina al piano terra. Se prenotate una camera con vista piscina, tenete presente che potrebbe non essere così e che le vostre aspettative dovrebbero essere ridimensionate di conseguenza. La camera in sé era un po' datata, ma pulita, confortevole e ben tenuta. Il servizio di pulizia è stato costante per tutta la durata del soggiorno, il che ha contribuito a compensare l'arredamento un po' datato. L'area della piscina è relativamente piccola ma generalmente ben tenuta. Purtroppo, era estremamente affollata durante il giorno a causa del gran numero di visitatori con il pass giornaliero. Di conseguenza, per la maggior parte della giornata non c'erano lettini o sdraio disponibili per gli ospiti dell'hotel, il che è stato deludente. Nota positiva: la spiaggia era pulita e piacevole. La delusione principale è stata il cibo. La colazione a buffet non meriterebbe più di 4 su 10. Gran parte del cibo non era stato rifornito, compresi i distributori di succhi e caffè vuoti, e ciò che rimaneva era freddo e poco invitante. Tuttavia, la situazione era migliore il secondo giorno. Anche la cena è stata altrettanto deludente. Diverse portate principali sono state servite fredde e hanno dovuto essere rimandate in cucina due volte. Alla fine, abbiamo annullato due piatti di pesce, poiché il riscaldamento ha sollevato dubbi sulla qualità e la sicurezza alimentare. La bistecca, che un tempo era uno dei punti di forza del Costabella per me, era estremamente dura e ben al di sotto degli standard a cui ero abituato. Nel complesso, il Costabella conserva ancora molti aspetti positivi, ma questo soggiorno non ha rispecchiato gli standard a cui ero abituato e sarà la mia ultima visita. A meno che la qualità del cibo e la gestione della capacità ricettiva non migliorino, trovo difficile consigliare il Costabella sulla base di questa recente esperienza.

Location wise, this is pefect. You can just take any public transport and you are there when you get off. The staff are very well trained, very nice and very polite. Everything looked very clean and even if the hotel is not that big, they had a badminton/volleball courts. There is enough beach front to walk around. For a Lapu-lapu beach, their beach is clean enough as well. They had plenty of covered lounge couches to enjoy beach front even under the sun. The pool is small but it feels clean. We paid an extra ₱ 500 to get the ”upgrade” for the ocean view and it was our biggest mistake causing us to lose sleep. Apparently, the room assigned to us was part of an adjoining room and the sound insulation was terrible. We can hear everything happening in the other room and unfortunately the couple in the other room were going at it very loudly (the girl was shouting) until around 5 in the morning. We don't recommend the breakfast buffet as well especially if you are paying the extra ₱1,100 for another person. Very few choices, very salty meat dishes and we don't know exactly what caused it but we had a stomachache after breakfast.

I have no problem at the solograndes front desk the staffs were very approachable and has a pleasant attitude in welcoming guests but La Mirada's front desk isn't approachable and doesn't have any proper etiquette in talking to guests.

We stayed at Vistamar Resort in Mactan from October 11–13, and overall, it was a wonderful and restful experience. The facilities are a bit outdated, but everything worked fine. Rooms were clean and comfortable, linens fresh, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The Wi-Fi connection was good, and we enjoyed having free access to Netflix in our room. Food was okay, and we appreciated the 30% discount for in-house guests at the restaurant. Corkage is allowed without any fees, which was a plus. They even gave us complimentary use of the billiards table for my daughter’s birthday—something we truly appreciated. The beach was clean and calm, perfect for swimming or relaxing. We hope the beach hours could be extended from 6 AM to 6 PM, so guests can enjoy early morning dips or sunset views. The pool area could use a bit more maintenance, but it’s not a big issue. Despite some aging facilities, the quiet, peaceful environment made it an ideal place to unwind. We’re grateful for the experience and will definitely be coming back. 🫶🏻

We had a nice stay and when our AC went out they moved us immediately. Wi-Fi was a hit a miss but staff was very pleasant and help to all guest. Place is a little out dated but it's worth the price and stay.

I love it here! If you want a quick vacay with your family that is not far from the city, then this is the place to be. They have a nice pool, jacuzzi and the beach is just right in front! They also have a playground for kids which my daughter enjoyed the most. The staff are kind. They alsp provided welcome drinks when we arrived!!! I will surely book this place again, soon!🫶🏻💕

Il personale era molto accogliente e attento per tutta la nostra permanenza. Il cibo al ristorante era piuttosto costoso, tuttavia. La spiaggia stessa non è la più bella, ma diventa molto più bella durante l'alta tempesta. E' stato bello per noi, perché siamo andati principalmente a prendere la piscina per mia figlia. Mi piaceva anche il posto perché non era pieno, il che rendeva il soggiorno più rilassante.
