Hotel in zona Concord Technical Institute, Cebu

Checking in was quite difficult and we were asked several times for our passport. There was a chemical smell in the hotel because they were painting the hotel garage floor. The room was okay although there were small cockroaches in the bathroom and the room has no refrigerator which was very disappointing. A mediocre hotel

Good location with wide range of amenities. Hotel and room itself are clean, well-maintained with good internet connection. I came with my spouse and small kids, employees (like Riza and Girlie) were helpful and attentive to our needs. My family felt at home during our stay. Everything was very convenient. Good value for money.

L'hotel più economico che potessi trovare. Rimasto per 15 giorni. Le camere erano al quarto piano bellissime e pulite. Dico le camere perché la metà strada attraverso il nostro soggiorno il nostro aria condizionata è uscito così siamo stati trasferiti (gratuito) in un'altra stanza. I dipendenti erano tutti gentili e disposti ad aiutare con tutto quello che avevamo bisogno. La posizione è bella. Quasi vicino al centro commerciale Ayala e l'area generale è sicura e facile da navigare/trovare il trasporto sotto forma di jeep o autobus. La decorazione è un po' insolita e antiquata. Quel beige sulle pareti è l'unica cosa che non mi piace. Non è affatto un hotel 5 stelle, ma è un'operazione per il suo prezzo(15 euro per notte) chiunque sarebbe stupido passare. Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia visitare Cebu su un bilancio. Non abbiamo gustato la loro cucina o visitare il loro giardino.

Overall, I had a great experience. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect to celebrate a birthday weekend.

Durante l'ultimo giorno a Cebu, mia nipote e io abbiamo deciso di cercare un hotel con piscina per poter nuotare e rilassarsi. Ho trovato Mandarin attraverso Agoda. Il costo è 2,800. Eravamo così eccitati ... Il check-in era senza saldatura. Il tipo @ la ricezione non ha parlato della piscina e abbiamo anche dimenticato di chiedere. La stanza è spaziosa e pulita. Dopo aver riposato per qualche minuto abbiamo deciso di andare a controllare la piscina. Fuori dalla nostra stanza abbiamo visto e chiesto alle signore ”servizio della stanza” dove trovare la piscina. Ci hanno detto che era al terzo piano e poi hanno aggiunto ”ma è chiusa, signora. E' stata danneggiata dal tifone Odette ...” Siamo stati così delusi! La posizione è grande. E' vicino/ attraverso il centro commerciale Ayala.

Le darei un 3/5 per il mio soggiorno di 3 notti! Le camere erano pulite e tranquille. E' lontano dalla musica alta o dal rumore da altrove. Le camere sono nuove anche. E' economico per cui si ottiene quello che hai pagato. Il personale del Front Desk può essere un po' più accogliente per essere onesti, e si prenderà cura di voi quando passi alla Reception, soprattutto durante il turno di ore del pomeriggio, la ragazza e il ragazzo e i due ragazze del mattino sono la persona più fredda. Penso che ciò che manca! Troveranno difficile da salutare anche un ciao o un saluto! Dovrebbero imparare dal personale degli hotel 3 stelle a Bohol o Palawan. Anche se il loro hotel non è nuovo, nemmeno usciranno dall'esperienza con un sincero e accogliente sorriso. Se si trova in un budget e non si tratta di problemi con personale scomodo, questo hotel è consigliato!

E' stata la mia prima volta che sono rimasto sul posto e finora è stata una buona esperienza, il posto non è rumoroso e pieno di persone.

This visit to Marco Polo truly saddened me. If you read some of my past reviews of this hotel I noted it was my favorite place to stay anywhere in the world. This was my first post Covid visit and I was shocked and disappointed. - Basic maintenance has not been completed. For example, there is a glass elevator that goes to Blu their rooftop restaurant. This elevator was out of order and when I asked why I was told “Covid.” Covid travel restrictions were lifted a long time ago and that’s no excuse. In a second example, we returned to our room after a long night and the key did not work. It turned out the battery in the electronic device on the door needed to be replaced and the front desk understand the issue immediately, so this must happen often. Good hotels replace these batteries on a schedule so the guests never suffer from dead batteries. - Service, which used to be outstanding?@, is now unacceptable. First, the English language skills of most employees we encountered were sub par. Second, the person who checked me in was being trained, so the check in process was very slow. Third, service at the poolside bar during lunch was slow, the waitstaff inattentive and they failed to include my banana shake on the bill so as we are leaving the grab us and give us a second bill to pay. Fourth, service at breakfast was terrible. I had to ask for black tea three times before I got it, seeking some out 3 times as no one ever came to check on us. When we arrived around 9 AM there was no bacon (later replenished with bacon that looked so bad I did not even try it, fatty and not crisp), there was 1 banana, which was never replenished, there were no juice glasses (later replenished). The food quality was adequate but not nearly up to pre-Covid standards. Overall the service was lacking. - I was also disappointed that the lobby lounge, which used to have live music every night now has piano music only and only 1 night per week I am told. - There was a cart of dirty linens in our hallway both days Some of these things are not expensive or hard to fix. It doesn’t cost a lot to have live music in the lounge nightly as there are lots of singers groups looking for opportunities. It doesn’t cost a lot to make sure you change door card batteries regularly Others are basic requirements if doing business. For example you don’t leave a glass elevator to one of the most expensive restaurants in Cebu out of order for month/years. I am purchasing a condo unit in Marco Polo residences and expected to regularly visit the hotel for meals/drinks, but if this is the quality and service we can expect, then I will not be utilizing their services.

Mixed Experience at Maribago Blue Waters Maribago Blue Waters has always held a special place in our hearts, as we’ve loved coming here since we were kids. However, during our recent stay, we noticed some areas that could use improvement. While the more expensive rooms are definitely worth the price, the deluxe rooms at 7k don’t quite live up to expectations. They feel outdated, like they haven’t been updated in 20 years. The restaurant and spa are also quite pricey, especially the spa, which felt a bit too expensive for what it offers. During weekends, the resort can get pretty crowded, likely due to the number of walk-in guests. However, the staff are super friendly and always make you feel welcome. One highlight of our stay was the amazing breakfast, offering a great variety from local Filipino favorites to international dishes. We especially loved the guy selling ”taho”—it brought back some wonderful childhood memories! While we still have a soft spot for Maribago Blue Waters, it feels like some things need improvement to live up to the resort’s reputation.

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)
