Solea Palm Resort Mactan

The view in our room

Only the aquapark

Poor service Late check in Not so clean area Over crowded lobby

It is a place for those that love a pool, great food that is value for money and a concierge that was the best we came across in the Philippines. They booked good tours for us. The drive for snorkelling, isn’t close but the drive is interesting and tours well organised. Closer resorts didn’t appear to be as nice. Our daughter utilised the free daily shuttle to the shopping centre which is huge. Best resort for swimming, slides, inflatables etc. Grandchild and I loved it.

It’s not a dislike but it say you go to Bohol from here like we did it’s a huge day. Maybe stay in Bohol a night as well. The packed breakfast was 3 bread rolls and 2 eggs which compared to the included buffet could include a much better cold selection- was surprised given everything else was so great. Would love it if they had an on site cooking class. Only one on island is a demonstration with limited involvement and something I think they would do well. Birthdays are well celebrated by staff who call themselves the Solea family.

The pools looked like the pics

There was one young gentlemen there as a waiter, I believe his name way Raymond, he was fantastic. Really world class, so friendly and professional and the cleaning lady was really so sweet and professional, she checked in everyday to see if I was okay, if I needed anything. She was very nice . But the main thing, the location, it’s far away from everything but that’s okay it’s a taxi ride away , the problem is the location of the hotel, I didn’t feel safe from the entrance onwards. I couldn’t walk anywhere.
