1521 Mactan Resort

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—from the front desk team to the lifeguards. Everyone made us feel welcome and provided excellent service throughout our stay. The breakfast was great, with a good variety of options, although I would have appreciated a fish dish as an additional choice. My only minor complaint is the toilet seat in our room. It was quite wobbly and seems like it’s due for a replacement. Aside from that, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider coming back.

Too pricey for the facility and what it offered in terms of quality. Location is not the best. The accommodation was large it had two bedrooms, living room with big tv and a kitchen with a big fridge and sink, no silverware or glasses. It had a big balcony the bedroom and living had full sea view. Bathroom was outdated, dark, peeling mirror, towels smelled bad. Bedsheets had stains. Breakfast buffet was small mostly pork and rice. Only fruit was sliced watermelon and pineapple. Coffee was terrible out of a metal container.

Great stay everyone and everything was perfect thank you for a great stay

The staff is the heart of this resort. They always went above and beyond to accommodate our requests.

The first impressions of the area are not great, but the hotel building itself is modern. The beachfront at the hotel does not look great when the tide is out (with exposed seaweed), but beautiful when it comes in. The staff were all very nice. The main issues we had were related to maintenance. The handle on the shower fell off (so difficult to control the shower) and it was impossible to turn off one of the lights in the bedroom. We called housekeeping and maintenance, but no one was able to turn it off meaning we had to sleep with the light on!! Also, the pier in front of the hotel is in very bad condition. On the positive side, the restaurant is great. I had delicious spaghetti meatballs for dinner and the corned beef for breakfast was great.

The staff are really nice and helpful, especially the night receptionist. Room is awkward layout and needed repairs. Hardly a beach and covered in algae. Decent place to stay, but not much restaurant selection.

Nice spacious room, relaxing pool, and small beach access

Yes

Employés dévoués et courtois. Avons eu un problème avec notre chambre et le propriétaire a trouvé une solution rapidement. Piscine agréable.

Yes

Huge clean room with comfy bed. Friendly helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was awesome and varied every day. We had reservations both the New Year’s Eve dinner and countdown. Great food, entertainment and an impressive fireworks display right in front of us. We will be staying here again.

Courteous staff, pleasant stay, excellent amenities. Location down a long path so if wishing to leave premises and eat out, Reception will book transport out and then it is easy to hail tricycle on the way back.

Value was great for beach front property. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Love the dining and breakfast on site.

Clean, spacious room.

Restaurant was excellent. If you're from the United States you're going to like the food

The staff is incredibly accommodating, making you feel like an exclusive guest. Their breakfast buffet is simply delicious. The pool is clean, and the view is incredibly relaxing.

No hair dryer in the room, One of the walls wasn't finished being painted in the shower head was old & broken, the toilet didn't work well. The food was at best average. On a positive note the staff was amazing and friendly. Unfortunately I would not recommend this hotel unless it was a discount price. Hopefully they can rectify all the things should be done every day. Sincerely Thomas A Lewis

Staff was excellent

Excellent staff friendly and helpful breakfast was great Plan on returning

After a bit of a mix up at check in we were offered a room upgrade to a Seaview room. Which was very much appreciated and was stunning ! Service throughout the hotel was very welcoming and professional. The resort was very clean and food at the restaurant was delicious and tast. It was low season so was rather quiet which we enjoyed. Pool and beachfront kept very clean and inviting for a swim. We enjoyed our stay.
