My Shang Mactan Experience

Reviewed By kristiner_1972

Shangri-La has always lived up to its name as a 5-star hotel that puts its customers above everything else. I was impressed with the hotel’s security because vehicles are thoroughly checked upon entry, and guests’ bags have to pass through a scanner every time they re-enter the hotel. Our room was very clean and smelled fresh when we arrived, and a wide selection of different cuisines is available for its guests. Aside from the hotel’s nearness to the airport, getting a cab or Grab is very easy. Because the Shang Mactan used to be the country’s biggest resort, guests can spend their entire stay there without having to leave the hotel premises. Their rates are reasonable (I call it affordable luxury), and the staff very helpful. The employees are not used to speaking Tagalog though so perhaps they can brush up on that.

Remarkable customer journey

Reviewed By 445didip

From booking to check-out, my customer journey was impeccable. Booking was easy; even editing and adding more rooms was not a problem. A few days prior to checking-in, the reservations team called us first to confirm booking and accommodated all our questions, especially regarding travel requirements. On day of check-in, our flight was rescheduled earlier. Despite this, the reception checked us in earlier, and while waiting for our room, we were allowed to use the resort's amenities. Our rooms were clean. The villa we stayed was very spacious, perfect for my family of 4. The whole resort was large enough that it didn't feel crowded even if there were a lot of guests. The amenities are perfect for all family members whether young or old. The seniors who were with me was able to enjoy the pool since it was heated. Food in all restaurant outlets were delicious and reasonably priced for a hotel food. All the staff were courteous and welcoming. Service was quick. One of the best resorts I've stayed in.

It was the aftermath of Odette so we expect less. Nothing much when we stayed here on our anniversary. It was messy because of the typhoon. Some of the pools are closed. The restaurant menu or their food is pricey.

Hotel is far from the airport. Should have known i should have booked somewhere near. And a little bit outdated. Staffs are very friendly and accommodating. Specially the lady at the concierge. Talking of value of your money, price of the food is quite expensive.

Good Service with decent rate

Reviewed By thealphamama

Got a discounted rate on a seaview room, stayed there for 3days 2nights with friends Hotel location is beach front. Don’t expect a fine sand and clear water. There’s a free kayaking in the afternoon and other activities. Hope they can setup beach umbrella. Service is superb, exceeded my expectation! From Reservation (special thanks to Camille) down to Restaurant staff! All our request were granted including special arrangement with breakfast. However toiletries are not fully set-up no slippers, no laundry bag etc. Overall experience is good!

Relaxing stay

Reviewed By ryantiu16

Me and my wife stayed here at this hotel for 5 days and we have nothing but good experiences. The staffs are very accommodating and friendly. They always made sure that our needs are met. My wife and I decided last minute to do an excursion. Fortunately, the hotel offers multiple options to choose from. We booked two excursions through them- we had an awesome experience! The transactions were smooth and easy. They even offer "wake up call", if you need it. They hotel has a restaurant with an a waterfront view. They also offer homemade ice cream- it was delicious. If you guys need a a quick snack, their hotel is located across 7-11 (open 24 hours). They have three swimming pools, but our favorite pool is the elevated pool because you can watch the sunset. The pools were clean. Overall, we would recommend this hotel. We had a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Plantation Bay Resort And Spa

WHY YOUR NEXT VACATION SHOULD BE WITH US. A vacation in Plantation Bay will be more prudent than in most resorts for the following reasons: A. Plantation Bay is a complete destination resort, where they can spend their entire holiday without ever going outside where they might be exposed at random to the virus. B. Plantation Bay is very spread out, and almost all its facilities are open-air. As now scientifically proven, most Covid-19 transmission occurs in close-contact indoor situations in which people stay close together for long periods. By its unique open-air design, Plantation Bay is inherently unconducive to catching Covid-19. There are no enclosed corridors and elevators where the virus may linger in the air up to 4 hours after someone coughed in that space, and we have vast lagoons and pools where people will not be tightly-packed. There are a lot of activities that guests can do inside the resort, so guests will not be tempted to go out where they might catch the virus in public markets or lower-end restaurants.
