I am looking for a not so expensive yet nice place to stay in Mactan, Cebu for a family of 5.Overnight only. pls give me the link so i can check the rates and services.thanksBudget Resort/hotel in Mactan, Cebu?
Cebu Whitesands if fairly cheap. Off the top of my head i think i paid around 3000p when i stayed there last year. But remember with a resort the prices add up fast if you eat there. also dont get them to phone for a taxi unless you want to pay double the fare.Budget Resort/hotel in Mactan, Cebu?
The wife has family on Mactan Island so I have stayed there often when we holiday in the Phils. No such thing as a 'Budget' Resort I'm afraid. Any establishment there with 'Resort' in it's name is at the top end of the market. I will tell you this however.Save yourself the grief and DO NOT go to Alta Vista if you value your money at any price.


I found these so called 'resorts' on Mactan over priced, extremely poor on service is the main point, and totally over rated.Nothing works in these places, no hot water, empty swimming pool, no maid service--just ask for a towel and see what you get--a funny look and no response.All the 'extras' that are included in the brochure or on your internet booking---uh-uh---dont exist , just a 'tout' to get you in. Free airport pick up that never arrives and it's , sorry Sir, our transport is broken down , or no sir, it's 950 pesos--you must be mistaken. At Shangri-La , touted as one of the best, the barman wanted 2000 pesos per shot of plain old Johnny Walker.You can buy the whole bottle anywhere in Cebu for less than 100.


Plantation Bay is a big concrete joint with massive room rates and nothing else going for it.


Stay in a good Pension House for a fraction of the cost, excellent service with all the mod cons. Resorts????? Unless you dont care about frittering away good money, leave them to really dumb tourists as I reckon no-one would tell you they recommend any of them.


The best link---just Google Mactan budget accom and you will find plenty of good places for your family.Aresort for one night for 5--total waste of money if you aint a millionaire.
There is no such thing as a budget resort. Get real. The Maxwell is a new clean nice hotel with no amenities for about 1500p. Take a taxi to the beach. One day won't be enough. The Sarrosa isn't bad and has a pool.


If you want a hotel on the beach pay the price.
chick this out
