First -- the staff and service are excellent. The restaurant staff are also excellent, as well as the self-serve breakfast buffet (small buffet but very good and included in the price of the room).

Not so good - the listing on Expedia shows pictures a beach property which is also owned by the hotel. However, this hotel is nowhere near the beach and is actually on a busy, noisy highway with unattractive surroundings. Also, the neighboring property has really loud karaoke, even late at night and it is difficult to sleep here. The noise woke me up at 1am. The property appeared under a search that was filtered for 4-star hotels, however, it is actually only a 2-star hotel. Expedia is at fault for this. Do not trust the Expedia listings.

As expected for a hotel close to the airport. Clean, staff were friendly and helped arrange a ride to Maya Port (Vincent was a great driver). Room right beside the pool so no privacy if we wanted to open windows. Food options at on site restaurant were fair if not a bit pricey for dinner (we waited a loong time but given they had another 2 large parties dining). Overall would stay again if in the area.

The staff here were absolutely excellent. They were very kind, helpful, and accommodating. I enjoyed my stay. There is a wonderful restaurant, Joey's Table, attached with an international menu. I was missing home ordered some European and American leaning dishes: Caesar salad, calamari, chocolate croissant, linguine carbonara, and their breakfast buffet. All were executed very well with high quality ingredients.

The hotel has a nice simple pool and offer a free shuttle to their other property which has beach access and an additional larger, infinity pool.

The only thing I wish this place had was hotter water. I know Western's like hotter showers than most of the world. I am being nitpicky. They use a instant water heater like most of the places I stayed at in the Philippines. However, some places had adjustable heaters. To the best of my knowledge this one did not have adjustments.

This is a well managed property. You will enjoy your stay here.

Having spent 40 yrs. in the Hospitality, Fine Dining & Travel industry myself, the 1521 Hotel & Spa is a shining example of the level of quality & excellence that can be achieved by a dedicated staff when given the proper management, training & resources at a top notch property!

I honestly can't say enough about the pleasure and comfort my girlfriend & I had staying at the 1521 Hotel & Spa!

So much that we extended our stay even when we had reservations already paid for at another highly recommended hotel in Lapu-Lapu, the super-friendly staff, amenities and superior quality of the 1521 Hotel & Spa made it almost impossible to leave at end of our initial stay! So we didn't leave after our original booked stay, and huge kudos to Kara-Len Sato, Rooms Division Manager & her phenomenal staff at the 1521 Hotel & Spa for making us feel like royalty & like we were part of their family.

It was truly a huge pleasure staying there and I'll be recommending it everyone I know & meet that are coming to the Cebu and Lapu-Lapu area, not to mention it's super close proximity to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport with fantastic views of the Magellan Bay and close to the Mactan Shrine dedicated to Chief LAPULAPU & his Filipino Warriors in 1521!

strange service

Maybe a new hotel, but you should be careful to know that the check-in time is 3pm. When I arrived at the front desk at 1:45pm, the receptionist said the check-in time is 3pm. He said that I had to wait till 3 pm. He recommend to wait in a restaurant in the hotel, but I did not want to spend my money there because I had lunch already. Thus I spent more than 30 minutes outside hotel where there are hot and nothing to see. I did not find any special reasons that they made me wait for more than 30 minutes even though I arrived in 1:45 pm. It was a strange experience for me.
The other issue is that the free shuttle to beach departs at 9:30am and 1:30 pm (only two times). So you cannot use it for the day when you check-in at 3pm.
Moreover, the swimming pool in the hotel is so small that you cannot enjoy swimming.
The massage shop in the top is very expensive compared to normal massage shops in Mactan island.

We really enjoyed our stay here at 1521. I was hesitant to book at first because of the price (it's cheap :) but I'm glad I choose to stay here. I booked two family rooms for the first two nights (I choose the option of two queen beds in each room when I booked weeks prior to arrival but got the 3 twin beds instead. Not too happy about that, but it's ok. We just put the two beds together). Then I choose the signature twin the 3rd night since 5 of my party already left. The price is definitely good for the services and the facility. Minor complaints: stained towel and the shower is slow draining so the water gets a bit high during shower. But the convenience to go places (taxi, jeepney) are just outside the hotel. They have a pool at the hotel. But we checked out the beach and the 2nd pool, which is separate from the hotel (about 5-10 minutes ride.) They have two schedules for the shuttle (9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.) You can stay at the beach and pool area until 8 p.m. The pool is nice, but the beach is not that great. The kids had fun swimming at the pool but opt out to swim at the beach. The cabanas are great for relaxing. They also have restaurant and a bar at the pool and beach area. The hotel staff and the beach area staff are helpful and friendly. The restaurant food inside the hotel is awesome. We really enjoyed our dinner at Joey's table. We also love the roof deck with bar and the spa on the 7th floor. Our stay at this facility is excellent overall.

The Property was Nice, well cared for, and Comfortable. But what I enjoyed most, was the Old Fashioned Family Home Feel. It felt like more than just Serving the Customer... it Felt Like being Welcomed into someone's Home. The kind of feel you expect from a Bed & Breakfast, not a Hotel & Spa. In my Room it was Comfortable...outside my room it was Cozy.

The property is brand new. It is very well built. The rooms are large and have all the essentials one would need. The internet is very fast. There is nice pool in the middle of the hotel which is good for laps and relaxation. There is also a shuttle to the beach as well. There is an onsite restaurant. I really enjoyed the service at the restaurant Rosalia was amazing. She was always attentive and happy. She really made the arugula salads, soups and blt sandwichs even better than they were by themselves. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you need to stay near the airport or just need a relaxing escape

The lifeguard on duty was excellent having to watch my nieces and nephews! I definitely will go back and stay at this hotel! The staff makes this hotel great!

As a professional in this industry, I approve!

This is a well run hotel. Excellence services and friendly staff. Good on site restaurant and decent spa. For the price, it is a great value. If I come back to Cebu. I am staying here again.
I have spent half my life working in hotels and spas. They do a solid job here. Very impressed.

The say at 1521 has been better than other hotels we’ve stayed at in Lapu-Lapu for a fair price! The staff greets you with a welcome drink and always great you any time you go downstairs. The restaurant is affordable and has excellent food options! We traveled with toddlers and it was seamless. Our kids are picky eaters and asked for the spaghetti every night, they enjoyed the pools, and the wifi connection is amazing.

Clean and Comfortable

Very friendly staff. Good size room and toilet. Very clean. They have a pool, but did not get a chance to use it. Restaurant is located on the ground floor. Food was great. Enjoyed the roof deck dining with friends. Love the free access to their private beach resort, about 15 minutes away. Free shuttle ride is provided for the hotel guests.

The hotel is not on the beach but the courtesy transfer to beach location was easy and wonderful facilities when there. Staff were fantastic from arrival until storing luggage and aiding our departure.

They provide 15-minute complimentary massage. Enjoyed the roof deck dining with friends.

1521 is a great place to stay on Mactan. The rooms are simple, clean and comfortable. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The private beach property is beautiful and easy to access with the shuttle service. I am a big fan of the massage studio on the top floor. The therapists do a great job and it is so convenient to be just a few minutes walk from any room in the hotel. I have stayed at 1521 a few times and will keep coming back!

The bathroom was nice but the shower was open and had no door or curtain. The water pressure was excellent and the hot water worked well in the shower. I didn't like that I was emailed the swimming pool was closed after I booked 2 rooms for 3 nights and the pool reopened the day after I left. They offer an airport shuttle but it's not free. There is not much area to sit outside; the lobby is very small. I did like that the front lobby had nice fresh air coming in from outside. The coffee machine's power cord was too short and we had to move it to the desk to plug it in. They needed an extra outlet; I had to unplug the TV to plug in my personal laptop because the other outlet had a different type of plug. The nightstand clock in my room was broken. The AC was very good and adjustable. The beds were cleaning and comfortable. The cleaning people should automatically replace the towels and tissue in the bathroom during the day without the customer having to request it.

I absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean, quiet and air conditioned. There is a pool, spa & restaurant in the hotel. I booked this for a day I knew I did not want to leave my hotel, and I didn’t have to! The food was amazing, the staff were all very helpful and kind, and my massage was very impressive. Would stay again!

The hotel is very well planned to isolate you from the busy street in front of the building. The rooms face a central space with the pool and outside noise is difficult to hear. The restaurant is great with good food and incredibly nice staff. The \"beach\" property owned by the hotel is a great place to spend the day. The pool, lawns, cabanas, cafe area and staff make it feel really luxurious. There really isn't a beach. There is a boat ramp into the ocean, if you want walk down it and go for a swim in very calm and shallow water. We enjoyed swimming in both the ocean and the pool! A shuttle bus runs back and forth throughout the day and is very accommodating of your schedule. The massage spa on the top floor is one of the best features of the hotel. The therapists do a great job and are very nice. Overall, it's a wonderful place and we'll definitely be back!
