My first impression was that the bathroom smelled of urine. Hello! The owner should try a little Lysol and scrubbing. The second impression is that the caulking around the bathtub needed to actually be there. I loved the lizards on the walls though, really. The staff was friendly, and the massage people were super. The waiters could not figure out what a knife was, and they did not have water ready when a person sat down. There was a 10% service charge on all orders, so the waiters were lazy and slow. I found that small things were irritating, such as the doors in the public bathroom needed to be shaved to actually fit into their spaces, and one had to walk to Tambuli West to use a very slow computer and pay a lot for the privilege. The coffee was great in morning at the buffet, and there was a refrigerator in the room, in case you would be smart enough to bring fruit or San Miguel Pilsen beer. Whole wheat bread is something the Philippinos do not get. No work out room is available. You can swim and dream of your gym at home. Ah...duh...have fun and try to be safe, because outside the guarded compound, the third world exits, really exists, and you could die for holding a cell phone. Have a great trip, and help out someone in need. I fixed a waitress's teeth, four pulled, five filled, one three tooth denture replacement, and she still has five to be pulled. She was eighteen and had never been to a dentist in a land of sugar junkies. It cost me $175. She can smile again.

Low Room Rates, But They Get You With Over-Priced Food Rates, & Slow Service In The Restaurant. Also You Pay An Arm & A Leg On The 1 Taxi Service That Will Take You Into Town.

Most of the staff here finds a way to offer you prostitution or sell you something. The climatisation in rooms is old and very noisy, and once turned off you ear the room next door. Everything is old and needs refurbishing The staff is very friendly and helpful. Hot water was not always there. The shower was a cheap plastic none ajustable spray. There is a little corner to buy survival hollyday item but that's all, cats every where and even chickens sometime. Who would resist to friendly staff. I drink only water so I am not a good judge of this but one have to buy water if you want to drink in your room and the room are not provided with a boiling kettle. There was a little bar near my room that sold nothing but when we arrived it was full of dirty plates, cups, spoons and towells. It was unchanged when we left. At the end of a dirt road full of pot holes. The only way out is to book a cab through the hotel otherwise you go into bargaining tricycle and what's not. No transport at all from the Hotel. You had to book a cab. The restaurant is good but expensive. Macktan island has nothing to offer, guest are stuck in their hotel and for this reason hotels should make great effort for more comfort at reasonable price and Cebu should improve the island. The Hotel was only accessible thought a long pot holed dirt road. We actually spent all are leisure time at the Shangri'las beach and swimming pool, despite having to take overpriced taxis forth and back and feel like squatters. Corruption is high. The localisation is excellent.

I had been in this Hotel for 13 nights. For the first 10 days, the phone of my room cannot receive any calls transfer. Furthermore, the room was not cleaned properly. Very dirty under the bed all time. Security services were very polite and professional with all costumers. Floor of my restroom never washed during my stay. Hotel Staff was polite.
