Beach Hotels in Mactan

Had a great 3 nights'stay at The Reef. From arrival to departure, everything went very well. In Cebu/Mactan their is a large choice of hotels, but i would definetely come back at The Reef, just for the great staff and their sense of hospitality/services. Check-in went super smooth and was done in less than 5 minutes. Had chosen a premier sea view room with balcony. Room is very spacious, good amenities, and of course great view, have added some pictures. A special note also to the housekeeping staff, spotless and clean room, made daily. Breakfast was great as well, plenty of choices for all taste, the live cooking station for your morning eggs is a real plus. Brewed coffee in the morning, good but not wow. Had daily a cappucino and freshly squeezed orange juice at their coffee shop, The Bakery. Here i must say that it is so far in the Philippines, the best cappucino i had, right balance between coffee/milk, well done and congrats to the Barrista. Had 1 time also dinner there, food was good and tasty, i would recommend less sauce for the pasta Alfredo, it was really too much liquid, but not a major issue, just some space for improvement. Had also as take away a Caesar salad, tasty, but would suggest proper fork with take away order, not very comfortable to eat a salad with a spoon, even an hybrid spoon/fork. Had also meals at their regular restaurant The Kitchen, good variety of dishes, tasty food, try the dumplings you won't regret. Beach area clean and safe, use water shoes as there are rocks in the water. Great snorkeling spots, lots of Nemo fishes and other species, a pleasure to spend time in the water. The hotel propose snorkeling material to rent, probably good to rent fins as it takes space in a luggage, for the rest i would say buy your own equipment, mask+snorkel rental is 400 Pesos per hour. Cheap but with all the fishes you can easely spend 4h a day in the water if not more. Tried also their Spa with a 60min body massage.

Excellent location and service

Probably one of the best beach resorts in Lapu Lapu. Very specious and clean rooms, huge bathrooms. All the restaurants offer amazing and very delicious food (local and international) There are plenty of activities we can sign in and very helpful and friendly staff. Me and my girlfriend have an amazing stay and will definitely visit again when we are in the area. Highly recommend
