The hotel is located in Mactan Newtown. This is like a mini upperclass town inside a lower class area. The town is self contained, and easily walkable. Within just a couple ,minutes walk from the hotel are a few high-priced restaurants, some shops, grocery stores, and convenience stores. There is a private beach which is very small, but cutoff from the other local areas. Inside the hotel was clean and spacious. I was on the 8th floor and getting off the elevator I was greeted with the smell of mold. Inside the room I did not notice the mold smell as much. The room itself was good size and clean. The bed was comfortable. The TV only displayed a few channels, there were no movie channels like HBO. Perhaps these are an add-on, but I don't know. There is a pool, which was of reasonable size, however was only 4ft deep max. The pool looked ok however was missing numerous tiles on its surface which just made it look a little shabby. There is a restaurant downstairs which I thought was overpriced compared to eating elsewhere. I think breakfast cost around $14usd, compared to local places outside the Mactan Newtown area (10 minutes walk) which could be as low as $3 or $4. The walki-n price for the room was laughable, the best price comes from apps like hotels.com, so definitely book through here for the purpose of saving money. Overall, I think the price of the room is reasonable for the quality, however cheaper options are definitely available.
