Marriott Cebu City

Cebu Marriott is located on Cebu island and about a 45 minute taxi drive from the Cebu Mactan airport and adjacent to the Ayalo Shopping Center. It is a hotel clearly tailored to foreign tourism. Upon arrival, the Cebu Marriott displays their impressive 24 hour security as guards were screening every single automobile that passed through the hotel drive-way, verifying the credentials of every taxi driver.

Customer service after checking in was overall friendly, very receptive and accommodating at their best to all our requests during our 4 day stay. Room service was responsive to our late night dinner requests. Their late night selections of high end entrees were small but the food we ordered was delicious. Our booked king sized bed was massive and comfortable and our bathroom was spacious, clean and full of amenities. The shower itself was a little too stylish in taking a while to figure out its operational features.

The Cebu Marriott includes a swimming pool, atmospherically comfortable bar, an all you can eat restaurant, and live music. Overall I enjoyed my stay, though the location, however convenient for some, felt a little isolating with the amounts of seemingly large security to the rest of Cebu city, leaving taxis the only means of transport to the rest of the area. (Taxis in this area take time to arrive). It seems the hotel really wanted to advertise is the easily accessible and upscaled neighboring Ayalo Shopping Center. I recommend Cebu Marriott for any traveler who wishes to acquire some general rest and relaxation.

Really good experience.. staff is very friendly. They allowed me to check in early as 8 am in the morning without any additional charge and paid only 1000 pesos for very late check-out even in the busy sinulog festival season. Had no problem with guests. Excellent with guest services such as laundry. However I never tried the food there as I am not a big fan of Fillipino food. They had only one restaurent. However it's far from the beach. No air port shuttle as far as I know. In Overall excellent.

I always stay at Marriott Cebu because of its great location. The buffet breakfast is my great meal of the day. Staff are very friendly, they even allowed location shoot at the lobby. Cab service is not a problem, the hotel even enforce safety by recording the plate number, giving you a small tab so you'll have the number as well. Concierge will even talk to the local driver in vernacular where you are headed.

If im coming into cebu i usually allow myself the luxury of booking one nite at the marriot to retool; you can usually book it on line thru some discount site or even the hotels own site for 80-90 u.s. Dollars before tax; it #1 on trip advisor and first class all the way; very nice and huge bonus right next to ayala mall which is the only place you would want to be in cebu outside the airport or the pier and so it saves you a lot in taxi fares; again its not something i can afford more than one nite but recommended

This is without a doubt the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Acctually the price I got for the room wasn't that bad - allmost comeing on to low. However the inhouse services - internet, dinning, drinking etc. is a little over the average of the region - however compared to Europe still quite cheap for the quality.

The service is without question the most accomodateing and friendly I've ever met and the hotel is absolutely clean and security one of the best I've ever met anywhere.

If you want to be spoiled this is the place to be!
