1521 Hotel & Spa

Very clean and nice! 👍

Room is clean and staff are friendly

Clean and a quiet place

Close to the airport, they have a good restaurant downstairs, but nothing else in the vicinity.

There was no sauna or spa services as advertised and only one pool. Breakfast was good, but expensive. The staff were very friendly. Continuous playing of the Sinulog song.

Friendly attentive staff, pool towels brought to us when we sat at pool very accommodating. Hot delicious breakfast buffet. Nothing to complain about at all. Excellent.

One of the best hotels I have visited in Cebu, I will be sure to return again and again

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.
