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.

From the time we stepped off the shuttle at the resort, everyone was so friendly & accommodating. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety. The servers were so friendly & would go out of their way to bring us extra of our favorite foods. The pool area was very clean & the beach was beautiful. Our room was also very nice , with a nice little balcony overlooking the pool & beach area . Would definitely go back next time in the Philippines.

Excellent hotel with very nice room offering sea view. The hotel has a very nice pool overlooking the sea, and a private beach for guests to enjoy. There are also several pickleball courts as well. Several restaurants are available throughout the day; the hotel has enough for you not to step out of the compound. If need be, there are 2 shuttle bus services in the evening to bring you to nearby town center. You may also get a taxi with no problem. The hotel staffs are very friendly and make sure you enjoy your stay as I did.
