Mercure Mactan Cebu

Mercure Mactan Cebu

10/10 Excellent
"I really enjoyed my stay at Mercure Mactan Cebu. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The view from the hotel was also beautiful! The only thing I would mention is that I booked the hotel thinking it was directly near the beach based on the photos and description. It is not actually beachfront, and you either need to take the hotel shuttle or walk about 10 minutes to reach the beach. I personally didn’t mind the walk, but I did find the description a little misleading. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and really appreciated the wonderful staff, beautiful views, and welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely consider staying here again. ❤️"
