What a place ! Probably one of the best hotels around Mactan: new, beautiful swimming pools looking up over the sea. The staff upgraded me to a sea view room, and they were very kind. It’s quiet, no doors banging like in most hotels around the world. New standings !

Staff are very courteous and friendly. Our room was cleaned daily, bottled water and coffee, personal care items were refilled and fresh towels provided. We love their breakfast buffet and the Halina outdoor restaurant. We were glad they have a beach access which we enjoyed early in the morning before it gets too hot.
