Hotel con colazione inclusa a Lapu-Lapu

What an underwhelming experience staying at Movenpick Mactan. I had two reasons for booking at Movenpick after reviewing their website. I am a member of the loyalty program that Movenpick is associated. It wasn't until after I booked that I found out that the ACCOR Live Limitless loyalty program did not apply to this particular Movenpick hotel. My wife and I were celebrating our birthdays as well as wedding anniversary so when I saw the Ibiza facility on the website we were excited that this would be a celebration/vacation to remember. We soon found out after arrival that the Ibiza precinct had been damaged in a typhoon 3 YEARS AGO (2021) and had not reopened. I questioned an executive about the possible misleading information on the website and was told that it takes about 1 year to remove it from the website (really????) and another year to have it uploaded again so it was left there offering an experience that wasn't there. The breakfast buffet was very good and the staff at all outlets were friendly helpful and very courteous. The same cannot be said of the snacks (spring rolls) near the pool that were served overcooked. The club sandwiches were delicious. Our anniversary dinner Crispy Pata and Pochero were bland and not up to what we would expect from a five star hotel kitchen. It was an underwhelming experience. If you want filipino food then walk to the entrance and diagonally opposite is the Morning Glory restaurant which we visited and enjoyed a delicious array of filipino cuisine.

We booked two rooms and we were only able to get one room when we checked in and the other room an hour and a half after! We followed up multiple times and complained about how the room wasn’t ready when it’s already the check-in time. They told us that the staff was already on the way up to bring the key card for the other room yet it took a long time (given the fact that the rooms were just at the second floor, above the lobby) when we followed up for the third time, we were told that the card was being brought from the main wing that’s why it’s taking so long like? we literally got the key card from our first room on the front desk lobby below our floor (ocean wing). They are also very strict about the room capacity that you have to pay 3k plus to pay for an extra person unlike other four-five star hotels. The room was also dusty, my boyfriend kept sneezing non-stop when we went in the room and had to take anti-histamine. Facilities were great though.

Esperienza mista nelle acque blu Maribago Maribago Blue Waters ha sempre avuto un posto speciale nel nostro cuore, come abbiamo amato venire qui da quando eravamo bambini. Tuttavia, durante il nostro soggiorno recente, abbiamo notato alcune aree che potrebbero essere utili per migliorare. Sebbene le camere più costose siano certamente di valore, le camere deluxe a 7k non rispettano le aspettative. Il ristorante e il bagno sono anche molto preziosi, soprattutto il bagno, che si è sentito un po' troppo costoso per quello che offre. Durante i fine settimana, il resort può essere molto pieno, probabilmente a causa del numero di ospiti in cammino. Tuttavia, il personale è molto amichevole e ti fa sempre sentire benvenuto. Uno dei punti di vista del nostro soggiorno è stato il fantastico colazione, offrendo una grande varietà dai preferiti locali filipino ai piatti internazionali.Noi amavamo soprattutto il tipo che vendeva ”taho”, che ha riportato qualche meraviglioso ricordo di infanzia! Mentre abbiamo ancora un punto morbido per Maribago Blue Waters, sembra che alcune cose debbano essere migliorate per vivere alla reputazione del resort.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel, they had an endless amount of activities that even staying for 3 nights we didn’t scratch the surface! The food was also great, we were able to get lots of different Filipino dishes as well as international dishes that we can’t get when we’re back in China. Highly recommended!

Here’s a more detailed and broader version of your review: ”The hotel provides an incredible sunset view, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The staff are exceptionally friendly, accommodating, and responsive to any requests, making the stay even more enjoyable. The property is well-maintained, with clean and tidy rooms that are inviting and comfortable. There’s a pleasant, fresh scent throughout the hotel, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. A highly recommended place for a relaxing stay!”

Sono stato qui poche volte e questa è la mia prima recensione di questo resort. Per i tempi che ho soggiornato nell'resort è stata sempre una buona esperienza per me, la mia famiglia e i miei amici.

The specific hotel is just 20 minutes driving from the Cebu airport. Its location is excellent. I can say that it was a small paradise. There is a huge pool with a bar that you can spend your day. The staff were very friendly and polite. The breakfast was huge. The room was amazing, very clean. The Cara Spa was excellent with professional staff. Also, the Nonki restaurant offers one of the best sushi i have ever tried. Thank you for making our honeymoon so unique!

Cebu itself was a bit of a downer. However the hotel and staff were quite nice. The hotel grounds and beach was clean at all times but outside of the hotel was.. well.. unsightly and smelly if you plan to go for a walk. There are 2 nice restaurants nearby but if you plan to bring your food back or order take out by delivery, the hotel will charge you 250 pesos. The food at the hotel itself was okay, breakfast had lots of options and both restaurants at the hotel offered variety. The rooms were also spacious but their aren't any drapes so if you plan on sleeping in, that might be tough as you'll get up as soon as the sun rises. The walls are also thin and my first night was dreadful with a loud family next door. The staff did try their best to get them to quiet down which was appreciated. The pool and gym were also good and the pictures are a true representation of the hotel. Overall, the ambiance and light music was good and helped me to finish my 5000 word essay so that was great 👍

Ottimo hotel con la sua spiaggia! Abbiamo prenotato 2 camere deluxe lato piscina al Costabella e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti delle camere. Erano molto spaziose e la vista dalle nostre camere era favolosa! Abbiamo apprezzato molto il nostro soggiorno qui, c'erano un sacco di bellissimi lettini intorno alla piscina e in spiaggia. Uso gratuito di paddle board e canoe. Abbiamo soggiornato al Costabella per 3 notti ed è stato un soggiorno molto rilassante. La struttura è vecchia ma molto ben tenuta e tutto il personale era molto disponibile. La colazione a buffet era buona, il cibo al ristorante era delizioso, le bevande al bar Luna erano fantastiche e c'è un tavolo da biliardo gratuito su cui giocare. L'unico aspetto negativo che abbiamo riscontrato su Costabella è che non puoi semplicemente uscire dalla proprietà per andare in un minimarket o in un altro ristorante. Se vuoi stare lontano dal trambusto, questo è il posto dove stare. Sì, torneremmo di nuovo a Costabella ma la prossima volta porteremo i nostri snack e bevande.

Anche se la nostra camera era un po' vecchia, ci piaceva il giardino e l'ambiente rilassante. Inizialmente prenotava una notte a Bluewater, ma erano completamente prenotate, quindi prenotavamo qui. Anche se Bluewater ha una migliore spiaggia e piscina, i sabbi bianchi sono sicuramente più rilassanti.
