"立地はコンドミニアムの建物が建ち並ぶVillageの奥の方にあります。Village内にセブンイレブンがあり(徒歩1〜2分)とても便利でした。Village内にスパやカフェもあるのですが、クリスマス期間中だったからか残念ながら閉まっていました。マクタンのメインストリートまでは徒歩10分弱ですので、そこまで行くと開いているスパもカフェもあるので困らなかったです。 部屋は綺麗ですし、エアコン、洗濯機、電子レンジ、電気ポット、IHコンロ(1つ口)があり、お鍋や炊飯器、食器類、洗剤、スポンジがあり、簡単な調理も可能でした。私たちはダイビング目的での滞在でしたので、洗濯機はとても助かりました。バルコニーもあり洗濯物も外に干すことができました。 Wi-Fiは充分な速さで、途切れることもなく良かったです。 唯一の難点は、シャワーとトイレの間に仕切りがなく、シャワーをする度に床やトイレットペーパーがビチョビチョになることでしたが、事前にトイレットペーパーを避難させておくなど慣れれば問題なかったです。シャワーの水圧や水量、温度も充分でした。"

"I stayed at a couple of different places in Mactan. The Grand Golden Hotel will be my "goto" in the future. It's not fancy but is super clean and comfortable at a great price. It offers a wide variety of on premise services like a pool, gym, restaurant, spa and airport shuttle. Room amenities are limited to a few snacks. The staff was terrific. I loved the ambience and view from the roof-top restaurant. It's a great place to unwind right before or after a flight into Cebu. For longer stays, I would pick something else. It is close to the airport but not much else."
