Great place to stay. The hotel is in Mactan Newton which is new, very clean area, safe, loads of amenities such as restaurants, cafes, bar etc and near the airport. The hotel is well maintained. Staff brilliant. Breakfast is fantastic. Loads of choices. We stayed here 3x whilst we travelled the Philippines for 3 weeks. We stored our luggage at the hotel. We will definitely stay again as we have decided we will fly international to Cebu instead of Manila when we return.

This is a very nice hotel. We had a room with a great view! Overall, we enjoyed this hotel and our room.

There were some issues, but relatively minor. Water flushing at toilet was not strong enough. It took a long time to get the room cool the first day. There was a Pan Asia festival going on at time, so number of people in hotel was crazy at times. Also, traffic in and out of area was crazy busy!

\"I had a wonderful stay at the Insular, thanks to the outstanding views, lush landscapes, and the rich history of the property. The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly welcoming. However, I was disappointed by the condition of the beach. There was a significant amount of debris and garbage flowing from the canal, to the point where I found myself picking up litter during my visit. With a bit more attention to beach maintenance, this resort would be perfect.\"

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. When I arrived on February 14, they did not have a room available for me despite my confirmed reservation. There was zero communication prior to my arrival indicating there would be any issue, and I was completely blindsided at check-in.

When I entered the lobby, there was already a large crowd of other guests in the exact same situation — at least 50+ people waiting without rooms. It was clear this was not an isolated mistake but a major breakdown in planning and communication.

The staff was dismissive and made the situation feel like it was somehow my fault. Instead of taking the time to properly explain what happened or offer a sincere solution, they rushed my group out and hurried us through any questions we tried to ask. We were told our entire group would be accommodated elsewhere, which turned out not to be true, creating even more stress and confusion.

What is especially frustrating is that there continues to be zero communication even now. There has been no follow-up, no accountability, and no effort to properly address what happened.

Overall, the lack of communication, poor handling of the situation, and dismissive attitude from staff made this an extremely upsetting experience. I would not recommend staying here based on how this was handled

The Hotel had great views on Travelocity. On google maps not so good. Here’s whatever experienced on our stay. Location is great. Lots of places to eat in the area. Very clean and safe at night in the New Mactan area. Outside the area in the day it was fine at night I wouldn’t let my girlfriend walk alone. The hotel was great. Any bad experiences that were written prior have been remedied since it became a Mercure hotel. The staff were amazing. Front desk had at least 6 people there to check in and out. Jay-R was the doorman he was awesome always got us a cab or a Grab. Super helpful and a good guy for sure. The hotel room was spacious, pretty basic but a nice big bed, the ac was very cold. The water temp could have been hotter but it was warm enough to fog the mirror in the bathroom. The buffet had a good selection of local and continental dishes. Fresh and well stocked. The gym had a lot of equipment and the pool was not too big but it was enough. There was also a steam bath and a sauna the guests could use for free. We didn’t go to the beach or use the spa we went outside the area for that. Overall it was a great experience no complaints and if we visit Cebu again we would definitely stay at the Mercure Hotel again.

Room a/c thermostat doesn’t work, so it gets very cold. Bathroom is small, dark (poor lighting) some fixtures are broken (e.g., shower head, toilet paper holder).
The gym/pool area has dirty restrooms.
Food/drinks are pricey.
The only redeeming feature is access to the beach resort, which is nice.
Overall, not worth the cost. Definitely not a Mercure standard…

This hotel needs new management. The breakfast room is too small and too crowded and the location of the food awkward and inconvenient. No one picked up plates. Some employees just standing around. No one seemed in charge of too many employees doing little or nothing. Asked twice for a latte coffee and had to get up and go get it. I could not control the A/C fan in the room - it was like a typhoon at any temperature setting. Called and no answer. The room (supposedly an upgrade) was small and no place to put more than one suitcase. Water not really hot. Had difficulty changing a 1,000 Peso Bill ($16 US) and they got me upset because I was sent to a couple of places (bar, restaurant) after the reservation desk didn't have any change - they just said sorry no change available as if they did not want to be bothered. Worst service of the 5 hotels we stayed in the Philippines and more expensive than the 5* hotel we had previously stayed in Cebu. I would not stay there again. Never had problem with the Mercure brand before but apparently Mercure just bought the hotel because they still show up on Google Map as Belmont. The small beach is several blocks away. Food at the bar where pool is took a very long time. Need to shape up and get new management in place.

Two of the doormen were quite unfriendly and even more so rude. They were dismissive and cold, don’t make us feel welcome at all. I got the feeling he didn’t like me simply because of my race and was EXTREMELY rude to my fiance who is a local. I would like to come back but refuse to as long as he is working there. I travel to Cebu 4-5 times a year and will stay somewhere else next month.

The room was clean but a bit dusty. The airconditioner is noisy. I tried booking for a shuttle pick up from the airport a week before my arrival but there was an inconsistency in their response. I completed the inormation they asked for but did not confirm receipt. In the end, my family was not picked up from the airport. My issue is - the hotel could just have advised us that they could not provide the service. We would understand and find other options. I think the hotel need to improve on their communication. Also, the lobby is small and gets too crowded. It detracts from a good impression.

The pool was closed at the hotel, however there is a pool and beach within 5/10 min walk (also free shuttle bus). The pool near the beach does not have a huge amount of loungers and the water was cloudy. The beach is man made and very pebbly.

This was the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. I arrived shortly before the check in time. My room was ready, but i was told if i wanted to check in early it would be a 1,000 piso fee.
After i checked in, i learned that the pool inside the hotel was closed, the television wasn't working because the cable was out, the elevator wasn't working and i had to use the service elevator. I went up to the room and i found a used bandaid was stuck to the bathroom floor.
I went down to the front desk and complained. The front desk acted as they didn't care. The entire stay i had no television service. I should have been compensated for all of the issues, but i wasn't. The hotel menu was overpriced.
I ended up eating dinner at the nice Savoy hotel for half the price of the Belmont. A hotel manager should have contacted me when i complained about all the issues .The bellman was chatting with the taxi driver outside and recommended the taxi service. I got into the taxi with a friend who lives in the area. The taxi driver intentionally took us in the wrong direction. My friend who lives in the area stated to the driver that he was going the wrong direction . The taxi driver still kept driving the wrong direction to run up the taxi fare. Finally i said stop and let us out. After we exited the taxi, we got another taxi which took us in the correct route. It cost me twice as much taxi fare because of the taxi the hotel recommended. I felt cheated and taken advantage of by the hotel.
