Find Hotels by Independent in Downtown Cebu from CA $29

"Ok, so this is a top end elite resort. Although I will still give 5 stars, there are few things you should know; 1. No nighttime entertainment at all. I was there Friday, Sat, Sunday. Lounge was empty. If there was even just a piano player it would have been nice. Also nice for their business. 2. You are pretty much stuck in hotel. Sort of like a compound. Area around is island life. City is a hike and much traffic always. 3. If you plan on doing the Whale Shark excursion,sardines, sea turtles, do know that you will leave 3am, 3-4hour ride there, 5-6 hour ride back. The ride is not fun. 4. Same menu every night. Food was good, but again you can walk to anything. Otherwise, pools, view, rooms, beauty, service are all incredible. This place makes for Instagram Billionaire photos."

"Outstanding service!!"

"Everything about this stay was amazing!!! The facilities, the stuff, the food, the rooms. Everything. Thank you soo much Shangri-la."

"Excellent rooms, relaxing environment, great diner options"

"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. "

"Best staff is Cebu!!"

"I’m going to start out with saying that this hotel is probably amongst the best if not THE best hotel experience I’ve had . ALL the staff are super helpful and friendly. We’re always there to accommodate your needs. Excellent breakfast. Awesome view right by the ocean. Tight security. Always got a taxi on call and can help you find where your trying to go.
