Amazing Spa Experience

I had the most wonderful facial here, and the pricing was very competitive too! Although the Thai massage didn't quite fit the traditional style, the overall spa ambiance and relaxation were great. I would recommend enjoying the spa services when you visit.

Fantastic Rooftop Dining

The Rooftop Restaurant was absolutely amazing! With live music and dancing on the nights we were there, it created such a good atmosphere. The view overlooking Mactan Cebu is simply amazing, and the food was delicious. A must-try!

Spacious and Cozy Rooms

I stayed in a large room with two beds and a lovely bathtub, which is rare to find in many resorts! The space felt cozy and well-appointed, making it a little retreat for our family. The rooms offered beautiful views, enhancing our stay significantly.

Refreshing Pool Area

I found the pool area to be refreshing and inviting! Even though it was a bit dirty in areas, the overall vibe was great, and the poolside experience added to the relaxation of my stay. It was a pleasant spot to unwind.

5.8/10

I found the hotel okay, but it could be much better. The breakfast buffet was just average, and my room had some plumbing issues, which was disappointing. The location was nice, being close to the beach and pools, but service could definitely improve. Overall, not the best experience and I probably won't return.

Rooms

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable, but I had issues with low water pressure in the toilet and a slow sink drainage.

Breakfast was underwhelming, with limited options that didn't seem fresh. The dinner choices were even worse, offering just a mediocre plate with no variety.

The pool was decent, but it felt and looked a bit dirty. There was another pool I only discovered on the last day, which was frustrating as I didn't get to enjoy it.

I had a pleasant stay at Cebu White Sands Resort. The facilities were enjoyable, especially the two pools, which were a hit with my kids. However, I did find the breakfast buffet lacking in variety and sometimes unavailable items. The beach area is quite small and not ideal for swimming, but the overall atmosphere was relaxing. The lack of interesting locations nearby for exploration is a drawback, but it's perfect for a quiet family getaway.

I had an extraordinary experience spending Christmas at this hotel. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs, making us feel special and appreciated. The room was spotless with a breathtaking view of the city skyline. However, my experience at another hotel towards the end of my trip was far from great, with some frustrating rules and unhelpful reception staff. Overall, the contrast in service quality was noticeable.

During my stay at Cebu White Sands, I found the hotel to have a mix of pros and cons. While the grounds were clean and my room was comfortable, there were significant issues with cleanliness and breakfast service, which really affected my overall experience. Additionally, the beach area was disappointing and not suitable for swimming. Although the hotel had potential with clean amenities, it needs improvement in several areas, especially dining and service.

The hotel has a lot to offer at a reasonable price, from inviting pools to excellent spa services. However, the beach area is a letdown with boat traffic and cleanliness issues. While the rooms are comfortable, the service could use some improvement, especially during check-in. Additionally, the dining options leave something to be desired, particularly at breakfast.

Rooms

The rooms are nice and equipped with good air conditioning, providing a comfortable stay, though there were minor issues like low water pressure in the bathroom.

Service

Service at check-in was lacking warmth, making the arrival feel a bit off. However, the spa staff exceeded expectations with their friendly demeanor.

Location

While the hotel is centrally located with easy access to the pool and beach, the nearby environment can feel unsafe due to aggressive vendors and a seedy atmosphere.

Dining

The breakfast buffet was below average in quality and selection, offering a tired variety of foods despite the potentials for good meals.

Facilities

The hotel features large pools and a spa that are enjoyable, but the condition of the pool was a little concerning due to dirtiness.
