I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is nice and quiet, providing a peaceful atmosphere, but it's a bit far from dining and shopping spots. The rooms were modern and spacious, and the staff was amazing, always ready to assist. However, I found the breakfast options could have used some improvement, and some areas seemed under construction, which was a little unsettling. Overall, it was good value for money, but there are a few things that could definitely be enhanced.

The hotel has a beautiful location right by the lagoon, which offers some stunning views. The rooms are spacious enough for a family of four, but the mosquito presence due to standing water was a bit bothersome. Service could use improvement as it felt a bit snub and unhelpful. Overall, the place is decent for families looking for value but be prepared for a few inconveniences.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the location was perfect for those looking to stay on-site, with family rooms conveniently located next to each other. However, the soundproofing was a real issue, and the dining options felt a bit limited. Overall, it's great for families wanting convenience, but I wouldn't say it offers the best value for money considering the noise disruptions.
Rooms

The rooms were positioned right by the lagoon, allowing my family to stay in adjacent rooms, which was convenient. However, the lack of soundproofing was frustrating. I could hear everything from the outside and the toilets flushing next door.

The service was a mixed bag; while the staff was friendly, they didn't seem to be very accommodating when we raised concerns. It felt like they didn’t offer suitable alternatives when we needed them.
Location

The location was convenient if you plan to stay on-site, but it’s quite far from the malls in Cebu, which can take up to 1.5 hours to reach. There weren’t many options for outside dining either.
Dining

The dining experience was decent, with a nice touch of variety in the food selection. However, the menu leaned heavily towards Asian dishes, leaving limited Western options.

The facilities were adequate, with a pool that was nice to have. However, it didn't wow me or feel luxurious.

The hotel had some great features, like its spacious and beautiful rooms with good air conditioning, but I did encounter a few downsides. The dark and damp rooms in the Nile block were frustrating, especially with the presence of mosquitoes. While the staff were friendly and helpful overall, there was a significant issue with one rude employee who impacted my experience. Plus, the location was a bit far from the main attractions, which made getting around a hassle at times.

The hotel had a beautiful ambiance with a nice patio area and well-equipped rooms. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, and the location was pretty far from everything, which made it inconvenient. The staff was friendly and helpful during our snorkeling excursion, which added some value to our stay.
Rooms

The rooms were nice and included the usual toiletries and fluffy towels, but the security box was very small and antiquated. While the patio area offered a lovely view, the absence of room controls for the A/C was inconvenient.

The hotel was not in an ideal location, quite far from attractions, leaving us with limited options for dining outside. However, it was about 30 minutes away from the airport.
Dining
