We really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights at the hotel. 3 nights went by so quickly that we wished that we could have stayed longer. The facilities offered by the hotel are excellent especially for families with children. Special mention to receptionist Dzarif for making our stay more memorable with the seaview room. Will really come back to stay in the hotel again in the future.

Good for families

Very nice hotel near the airport with comfortable rooms and good food. The only thing I didn’t like was the Al the children focused playgrounds and swimming pool and game room etc. Definitely a family oriented hotel.

This place is consistently fantastic. The site itself is beautiful and really well appointed. The views are stunning, and sunset just sensational. Well worth the cost to enjoy the sunset bar. Food options are great - we used most of these during our stay. The breakfast is wonderful, with a great range to cater to all tastes. The main thing that makes this place amazing though is the staff. All our interactions with staff were fantastic. Haniff over in food and beverages will do whatever he can to make your stay special - and has an incredible memory for the details of the guests. Brandon who took care of us on our hotel organised trip to Sapi Island was fantastic - knowledgeable, kind to our daughter, and made sure we got out to the reef to snorkel before it was understandably closed due to low tide. All staff, from those in the kids water area and in the games room, to those looking after your room and helping with bags, were great. We'd stayed right before coming to this hotel at another, big, "5 star" place not far away - also with nice features - but what makes the difference is how you are made to feel at Shangri-La Tanjang Aru. That is what made our holiday. (I can only hope that the hotel managers do not expand further and risk losing what makes this place special. There is a pretty warehouse for people wanting to take instagram photos up the road - keep this place the treasure it is!)

not good

Overall, it is worse than Shangri-La Cebu Mactan. The sunset isn't particularly spectacular, but it's acceptable. Breakfast is not tasty. The staff are not friendly.

チェックイン前、チェックイン後も、ファシリティ使えるように手配してくれて助かりました！全体的に綺麗で、大人用プールもあるのでのんびりできます。子供の遊ぶ施設やウォータースライダーなど、子供連れにも良さそうです。
