There was no sauna or spa services as advertised and only one pool. Breakfast was good, but expensive. The staff were very friendly. Continuous playing of the Sinulog song.

First -- the staff and service are excellent. The restaurant staff are also excellent, as well as the self-serve breakfast buffet (small buffet but very good and included in the price of the room). Not so good - the listing on Expedia shows pictures a beach property which is also owned by the hotel. However, this hotel is nowhere near the beach and is actually on a busy, noisy highway with unattractive surroundings. Also, the neighboring property has really loud karaoke, even late at night and it is difficult to sleep here. The noise woke me up at 1am. The property appeared under a search that was filtered for 4-star hotels, however, it is actually only a 2-star hotel. Expedia is at fault for this. Do not trust the Expedia listings.

As expected for a hotel close to the airport. Clean, staff were friendly and helped arrange a ride to Maya Port (Vincent was a great driver). Room right beside the pool so no privacy if we wanted to open windows. Food options at on site restaurant were fair if not a bit pricey for dinner (we waited a loong time but given they had another 2 large parties dining). Overall would stay again if in the area.

The hotel is quite new so it is modern and welcoming. Breakfast was good. The pool was nice. The staff were very helpful and there is a minibus that will take you to their resort hotel which is on the waterfront with a great pool. You can walk to a shopping mall and a restaurant area within 15 mins.
