The Reef Island Resort Mactan, Cebu
Very clean hotel. Nice big room and bathroom. Pool and beach area is nice and breakfast choices were great. The only thing that lets it down is the location. I walked to the Newtown main area and it was through some dodgy areas. Not much else to do within walking distance

Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort
Very friendly staff. We were also able to get our room early which was lovely considering we’d been travelling some 20 hours! Room was a very good size and comfortable. Patio was small though (not very wide). But we had view of pool and ocean. Excellent experience.
