Hotels Near Girbaud in Cebu

It was my first time staying at the place and it was a good experience so far, the place is not noisy and crowded.

Out experience at The Noble Cebu Hotel has exceeded our spectations.... The swimming pool is quite large to enjoy but sadly only 4.5feet deep is the highest...hope they have 6feet deep to dive for explorer people likee. The rooms are equipped by security card system keys... automatic power off if no people inside... The gym is bigger than other hotels...we enjoy it! The parking spaces are spacious at 2nd to 7th levels. The ambiance of the ground level is blended by nature with greeneries to breath in along with the wide pool... The rooms at higher level are breathtaking always since u can see the city view like u are a bird. The best part was really in the rooftop...seldom a hotel has this amenities in Cebu...only the Noble Cebu Hotel can give a 360 degrees view of the entire metro Cebu cities...like u are almost in the sky! To do ur selfies and groupies.... The sad parts only are; 1. only 1 access road going in and out to the hotel...u can access by car or motorcycle if u are coming from banilad cebu city. 2. The foods in the hotel resto are expected to be higher prices since No neighboring restaurants in this hotel...u must bring ur own food at ur desired budget at affordable food markets nearby.. 3. They let u deposit a cash bond for check out insurance of their hotel...first time in my experience! But Overall our experience in this hotel is SULIT for its price...than other leading hotels in Cebu! Thank you Noble Cebu Hotel! Sa uulitin....

Checking in was quite difficult and we were asked several times for our passport. There was a chemical smell in the hotel because they were painting the hotel garage floor. The room was okay although there were small cockroaches in the bathroom and the room has no refrigerator which was very disappointing. A mediocre hotel

Good location with wide range of amenities. Hotel and room itself are clean, well-maintained with good internet connection. I came with my spouse and small kids, employees (like Riza and Girlie) were helpful and attentive to our needs. My family felt at home during our stay. Everything was very convenient. Good value for money.

Delicious breakfast, amazing and overly nice staffs. The bartender Jeffery is very friendly and he’s good at communication. My experience overall was wonderful. I’ll definitely come back

This visit to Marco Polo truly saddened me. If you read some of my past reviews of this hotel I noted it was my favorite place to stay anywhere in the world. This was my first post Covid visit and I was shocked and disappointed. - Basic maintenance has not been completed. For example, there is a glass elevator that goes to Blu their rooftop restaurant. This elevator was out of order and when I asked why I was told “Covid.” Covid travel restrictions were lifted a long time ago and that’s no excuse. In a second example, we returned to our room after a long night and the key did not work. It turned out the battery in the electronic device on the door needed to be replaced and the front desk understand the issue immediately, so this must happen often. Good hotels replace these batteries on a schedule so the guests never suffer from dead batteries. - Service, which used to be outstanding?@, is now unacceptable. First, the English language skills of most employees we encountered were sub par. Second, the person who checked me in was being trained, so the check in process was very slow. Third, service at the poolside bar during lunch was slow, the waitstaff inattentive and they failed to include my banana shake on the bill so as we are leaving the grab us and give us a second bill to pay. Fourth, service at breakfast was terrible. I had to ask for black tea three times before I got it, seeking some out 3 times as no one ever came to check on us. When we arrived around 9 AM there was no bacon (later replenished with bacon that looked so bad I did not even try it, fatty and not crisp), there was 1 banana, which was never replenished, there were no juice glasses (later replenished). The food quality was adequate but not nearly up to pre-Covid standards. Overall the service was lacking. - I was also disappointed that the lobby lounge, which used to have live music every night now has piano music only and only 1 night per week I am told. - There was a cart of dirty linens in our hallway both days Some of these things are not expensive or hard to fix. It doesn’t cost a lot to have live music in the lounge nightly as there are lots of singers groups looking for opportunities. It doesn’t cost a lot to make sure you change door card batteries regularly Others are basic requirements if doing business. For example you don’t leave a glass elevator to one of the most expensive restaurants in Cebu out of order for month/years. I am purchasing a condo unit in Marco Polo residences and expected to regularly visit the hotel for meals/drinks, but if this is the quality and service we can expect, then I will not be utilizing their services.

I was looking for a hotel near the airport and near the grocery and restaurants during a recent trip to Cebu. My usual stay had a big price increase and since it was far from the airport, I tried looking for a new hotel. I used to stay at other hotels near Felicity and thought that the prices were a bit steep for hotels without pools. I chanced on them while browsing Google Maps and gave them a call. It's good that they had a vacancy and so I made my way from the client site to the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with the bright lobby. The single room, though, had a weird layout with the sink just behind the door but not inside the bathroom. Still it was value for money because it had hot and cold water, a cool air conditioner, a refrigerator, a flat screen TV and clean sheets. Since it was just beside the highway, I expected to hear scooters darting across. Well, most of the noise came from fellow guests walking through the corridors after making bar crawls, I guess. Aside from that, the hotel is great value for money. I'm looking forward to staying with them in future trips.

This was a nice resort. The service staff were kind and accommodating and let me check in early and upgraded my room when I told them I’m checking out at midnight and won’t even be sleeping over. It was so nice to just enjoy a pool day right before our 2:40 am flight. We had fun, took naps, and didn’t have to go to their airport too early to wait around. The evening buffet was delicious. We wanted to get a massage but the price was too much compared to other places. The beach was great to snorkel and we had a lot of fun looking at the fish. They had a fire show by the pool in the evening. Just a few concerning points: -The water from the shower was warm but didn’t get hot enough to enjoy so we had to take a bath instead which provided a good temperature - They need to update their carpet in the room so it looks more modern. This carpet looks like from the 90s. I know it can’t be that old but it’s got that vibe. -Two slides in the kids’ area were closed and not able to be used -Wave pool was closed I guess I knew this would happen. When you go to these kinds of places, there’s always something that’s closed or broken. -The beach sand is very hard, wear water shoes All in all, it’s a nice resort. Very bustling, full of energy and lovely.

Mixed Experience at Maribago Blue Waters Maribago Blue Waters has always held a special place in our hearts, as we’ve loved coming here since we were kids. However, during our recent stay, we noticed some areas that could use improvement. While the more expensive rooms are definitely worth the price, the deluxe rooms at 7k don’t quite live up to expectations. They feel outdated, like they haven’t been updated in 20 years. The restaurant and spa are also quite pricey, especially the spa, which felt a bit too expensive for what it offers. During weekends, the resort can get pretty crowded, likely due to the number of walk-in guests. However, the staff are super friendly and always make you feel welcome. One highlight of our stay was the amazing breakfast, offering a great variety from local Filipino favorites to international dishes. We especially loved the guy selling ”taho”—it brought back some wonderful childhood memories! While we still have a soft spot for Maribago Blue Waters, it feels like some things need improvement to live up to the resort’s reputation.

First night we stayed in a room with a garden view which was really only a car park view. Nothing much to write home about. Upgraded the second night to a room with a sea view and a balcony and the experience was much more enjoyable and the view much more beautiful. Service was great and the rooms were clean. Food in the breakfast buffet was delicious and varied and the sports bar had lovely food and drinks with a beautiful view of the ocean. The outdoor pool was also beautiful and great for children to play in as it isn’t very deep (about 4 foot deep the entire length of the pool)
