Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

Having spent 40 yrs. in the Hospitality, Fine Dining & Travel industry myself, the 1521 Hotel & Spa is a shining example of the level of quality & excellence that can be achieved by a dedicated staff when given the proper management, training & resources at a top notch property! I honestly can't say enough about the pleasure and comfort my girlfriend & I had staying at the 1521 Hotel & Spa! So much that we extended our stay even when we had reservations already paid for at another highly recommended hotel in Lapu-Lapu, the super-friendly staff, amenities and superior quality of the 1521 Hotel & Spa made it almost impossible to leave at end of our initial stay! So we didn't leave after our original booked stay, and huge kudos to Kara-Len Sato, Rooms Division Manager & her phenomenal staff at the 1521 Hotel & Spa for making us feel like royalty & like we were part of their family. It was truly a huge pleasure staying there and I'll be recommending it everyone I know & meet that are coming to the Cebu and Lapu-Lapu area, not to mention it's super close proximity to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport with fantastic views of the Magellan Bay and close to the Mactan Shrine dedicated to Chief LAPULAPU & his Filipino Warriors in 1521!
