Solea Palm Resort Mactan

The place needs urgent update.

Dirty and old.

The pools, friendly staff, the environment

The single lane going to the parking lot

The pool was nice. The food was good, but expensive.

The place was a little dated and starting to be a bit run down. The beach had tons of jellyfish and sea urchins. There was a lack of guard rails at the stairs going into the pool.

Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Hotel rooms (we got poolside with sea views) were a fair size. We did ask for a double bed but got a room with two double beds pushed together. This was not a problem since my husband and I just pushed it apart and just used one bed. Staff was very very well trained. There were also lots of pools for kids. Even a waterpark. Take time to eat at the grill restaurant beside the waterpark. Food is fresh and quality high.

Furnishings and fixtures in common areas were clearly worn and looked tired. We were initially unhappy because we wanted a more relaxed resort vibe but once we accepted that this was a family resort (tons of Korean, Chinese, Japanese and local families), we were fine. Heads up, conversations in corridors carry loudly into your room! The beach was also a bit of a disappointment. This was an artificial dolomite beach with a steep incline so not really good for kids and swimming in general. There were also lots of flies specially in the main dining area. Doesn´t bode well for cleanliness.

Amazing place to stay and very clean.

Ontvangst, ontbijt en het bed.

Kamer niet in hotel zelf maar ergens in een gebouw achteraf. Hadden een tijdje geen water voor douchen en wc e.d. niet echt schoon en maar 2 handdoeken op kamer voor 2 personen. Prijs/ kwaliteitverhouding niet in verhouding.
