Hotels near Shangri-la Beach side, Lapu-Lapu City

The hotel was okay for the price. Prices are meant for members so it is best to check membership if you will stay a while. They dont really tell you to apply before booking. Good place if you want to go for a staycation. Reservations department could do be more accommodating given the level of aspiration the hotel strives for. meh

It was better than my expectations. They allowed early check in for us. I liked the Philippines style room interior. Breakfast was good. Everything was clean and comfortable. Facilities are well maintained and safe for children. There are pools for kids and adults. Can use the shelters right next to beach. There are also activity corners next to the beach. Restaurants are a bit expensive than outside, but food was delicious and good service. They don’t allow food delivery. But you can being meals or food in your room and only allowed to eat in the room. I would definitely recommend for family travelers.

Plantation Bay is again my favorite hotel on Mactan. I was there August of 22, January of this year and just finished a stay in May. Here are some things to consider about Plantation Bay: - It’s the only large Filipino owned resort on Mactan and they must treat there staff incredibly well because everyone I spoke with has worked there 10+years - unlike other resorts they have a no tipping policy - The large salt water lagoons are beautiful and large enough that they never feel crowded - Plantation Bay offers a variety of food options for every taste - They have a wide variety of on site activities and offer multiple excursions outside the resort for reasonable prices To be fair there were a couple of things that could improve but those are minor - The beach towels need to be replaced. The bathroom towels are great but the beach towels were old and thin - During busy periods when you call bell service or guest relations the phone just rings with no answer. Overall though, this is the best place to stay on Mactan. Great service, unique activities, great staff, and some of the best swimming pools anywhere Here are some tips: - if you are not traveling with kids, the waters edge rooms are amazing. You can step from your deck directly into the lagoon - Consider the Route 66 Diner for breakfast. Good food and never crowded -A romantic dinner at Palermo’s is a great option on site - I paid the extra $50 to have a car drop us off and pick us up at our room and it was definitely worth it. You get checked in/out at your room saving time Highly recommend this great hotel

One of the best hotels in Cebu. The food is scrumptious, the hotel room is clean and the staff are amazing. Parking is also not a problem in this hotel. Kids loved the pool and kids safety is top priority. Balik mi puhon sa BAI hotel mga bai! Salamat!

Such a beautiful resort !!! I didn’t get the most welcoming check in but Ralph checked in my friend and he got a room right away. We switched to Ralph and he handed everything to quickly and there was room available for us as well . He’s so competent, approach and very warm towards the guest . Aside the check in, the breakfast has lots of options , cocktails bars / happy hours Monday to Thursday great deal !! I loved Salt and sky bar on the rooftop, the sunset view amazing . Paddle board , kayaking and the 8 different pools that we tested . Want grill menu , amazing, and the waiter will bring your cocktail to the beach as well. Over the friendly staff made the trip so enjoyable and the other guest , mainly Korean so friendly and kind. I had the best Christmas on this resort and I can’t wait to return back with my husband.

j park was the last on our Cebu trip. I thought a good resort will make us relax before leaving...but NO...this should have been the first on the trip. if you are planning to stay here, this is a good tip to have a full experience. although the the check in is 3pm, you can use the water park as soon as it opens, also you can still use it after your check out until the park closes. the pools and slides are fun, the beach area is great during sunset. a lot of in-house resto and bars but you can also grab your meals without corkage, if you eat it in your room. the connecting suits we booked were spacious and clean. bathroom has shower and tub area, the beds are soooo comfy, and the view is breathtaking. all in all, it was the cherry at the top of our vacation...and pls don't forget to claim your photo shoot. worth it!

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)

We had a late and delayed flight but grateful the van (free airport shuttle) waited for us. The lobby was simple & check-in was easy. Before going up to our room, they asked us to get the amenities we need (dental kits, shaving kits & combs). We stayed at the Twin C Room, it has a big ref, kitchen sink, tv, microwave, dining table & chairs & 2 big beds. The bathroom was like the ones in Japan, compact & small. There were no cabinets too. The beds were comfortable to sleep on & the ac was working well. Breakfast was served in what was like a cafeteria hall, it was supposed to be plated but it was served buffet style, breakfast menu was simple. It changes everyday. Location of the hotel is superb & convenient because its connected to J Centre Mall and there were pharmacies, banks, convenience stores & a spa nearby. Happy to have our massage there. The hotel was also beside the Skywater theme park but unfortunately it was indefinitely closed. Checkout was easy too. They allowed us to leave our luggage because we have a late flight, we just came back for it. We weren’t able to avail of the free shuttle going back to the airport because we weren’t able to book a day before (it’s not automatic even if they have your flight information), good thing we have relatives to bring us to the airport. Overall, price was reasonable and we had a nice & comfortable stay here.

My wife, son, and I went there for my birthday. We wanted to try a new resort in Cebu. Wow were we overwhelmed and surprised. The Sheraton staff treated us with kindness and as if we had been there multiple times. Every single staff member greeted us. From the housekeeping to the guards at both entrances. They even took my son by the hand and kept him entertained while we were checking in. They gave him popcorn. I was also shocked at the one restaurant when they sang happy birthday and gave me a wonderfully delightful cake. It was so smooth and silky. The food was also perfect and tender. The sauce for the fries was very creamy and tasty. For the first time in the almost twelve years in Cebu, even having been to numerous Cebuano resorts including Shangri-la everything was 100 percent perfect. The wifi was strong and no lag, the food was perfect, parking perfect, staff were perfect, beach and pool were clean and perfect. We even go to feed the fish as well which the guard at the water activities area gave us. I mean it was all around perfect for the first time here in Cebu. At Breakfast they even gave me a thank you cake for staying there. I couldn't believe it. It really felt homey and that warm feeling. For the money we spent it was 100 percent worth it. Oh by the way the atmosphere was perfect too. No loud people on cellphones everywhere talking or taking selfies and the like.

This is an old hotel, so the rooms are quite old. We booked a standard room but then had to upgrade it for an additional amount. White Sands staff are amazing, they were always willing to assist us whenever we needed something. The hotel is central and is located right next to the beach. Breakfast was also standard, it could have been better if they catered more for foreigners. Overall we had a good stay.
