"friendly staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 24, 2012
Hotel shows age but overall comfortable. Beds an rooms were neat restful. The staff were always helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend the hotel.
"Cebu-R Philippines"Reviewed by hana ca of "usa" on Apr 17, 2012
Nice place, clean, staff are great. The location of the place is not ideal, it's hard to find. The hotel is located along with the residential neighborhood. It takes 45 minutes by taxi to the airport. Taxi ride is about 250 pesos to the airport. Breakast menu is so simple. The nearest eatery or restaurant is about 15 minutes walk. Don't ask let them do a laundry for you, they will lost your item.
"Great Location to Airport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 15, 2012
The hotel is located next door to the Airport. No Fox News on the cable TV but had anti-American Al Jazeera. Air conditioning in the room was inadequate. Had no ironing board or iron available. Do not eat at the hotel buffet food was terrible quality and cold. Only three choices for beer at the hotel bar. Two local brands and Heineken. The only reason I would stay again is it is very convenient to the Airport.
"Nice Stay in Maribago Bluewater"Reviewed by Rose G of "El Dorado Hills, CA." on Apr 11, 2012
I wish I just stay on this resort in my visit in Cebu. I stayed in other resort and was disappointed with the accommodation and service not to mention the price of those resort that I paid. I enjoyed the ambiance of the resort, the friendliness of the staff they all catered to the comfort of their guest. The breakfast was soo yummy and everything I'm craving was there... what more could I ask. Last but not least, we had so much fun swimming in the swimming pools with 3 choices. Looking forward on my next stay in Maribagu Bluewater.
"Bella Vista Hotel in Lapu Lapu City, Philippines"Reviewed by Tom F. of "Chicago, Il." on Apr 9, 2012
I recently stayed at the Bella Vista Hotel from March 26th to April 6th, 2012. The van from the hotel picked me up at the airport after a very short wait. From the moment I got there, the staff of the hotel was very helpful in every way. The staff was friendly, greeting us every morning when we went down for breakfast. The complimentary breakfast was very good every day, and I was especially happy that on Fridays they served fish for breakfast as i stayed there during lent. We went swimming on the roof, and the pool and the area surrounding the pool was very clean. We had some clothes that needed to be washed, and the housekeeping staff did a wonderful job with the time they needed and prompt delivery to our room exactly when they said it would be done. If i had any complaint, it would be that some of the towels and sheets and some dark stains on them. This didn't bother me, but it might bother some other people. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other people, and when I return to Cebu at the end of the year, I will stay there again!!

"Waterfront Hotel Cebu"
With the exception of the renovations of the lobby, the overall experience was exceptional. The U.S. Consul is located at the basement level for convenience and there is also a Duty Free Store as an added bonus to the spacious Casino.
"Cebu Waterfront Hotel"
It is convenient to everything. The only thing I wasn't satisfied was the bed is old and the towels are old and hard. They should change their beds and bathroom furnishings and they do not have iron available in the room.
"no non smoking"
when checking I was force to take a room that is for a smoker since the non smoking rooms were filled. to breath second hand smoke is a health risk. The hotel has it for people who use there debit cards like they are credit cards and the whole trip almost was a bust. I had ask the person booking the room to added note and it seem that it didnt get added […] or the hotel didnt what to make arrangements to make it so Read more

Excellent personnel....... Excellent service...... First night I didn't sleep well because of outside noise, they upgraded me to the executive floor without hesitation. The hotel personel makes it a point to see that you are satisfied in every way. I would diffinitly stay there again......

please do not stay at this hotel, i had a very bad expierence, i purchased a pastry from the cake shop in the hotel it had a bug, secondly there was a nail hidden in the carpet on which i stepped on, thirdly i asked for a ironing board & a iron to iron my clothes, the ironing board was hazardous & not in compliance to cinsumer safety, the duty manager […] forced me to pay for the same. stay tat the shangrila rather than the waterfront Read more

"Waterfront cebu"
Very affordable and they offer complimentary breakfast everyday. Nice and clean rooms but the TV is still very much outdated. Fast check-in and check out
"Nice hotel...need to update a few things"
Very enjoyable stay. Beautiful pool, excellent proximity to malls and night life, good restaurants, comfortable bed, GREAT gym. If you are looking to sight-see, a driver and car are available for 3 hours for just under 2kp. Carpeting in the hotel is in serious need of replacement...this place could be a gem with minimal investment in updates. Room view […] was a little odd for a high end room (demolished buildings, slummy surroundings); however the general beauty of Cebu always wins with her charm. In the end, I would definitely stay here again. Read more
"Overall, a great stay, but bottle opener stingy"
We really enjoyed our stay at the Waterfront. The location is quite good right next to the Asiatown IT area, where there are lots of great food, drink, and entertainment options. The Ayala Mall is also just a 10 minute walk the other direction (although that's not such a pleasant stroll). The room was very comfortable - all the features & amenities […] one would expect of a hotel of this caliber - except for one thing that did lower my opinion of the hotel. When we requested a bottle opener, the staff member that showed up with one insisted upon opening our bottles himself and not simply leaving the opener with us for the duration of our stay. Since we didn't want to constantly be calling for bottle opening service every time we wanted a bottle opened, we had to go out and buy our own bottle opener. Did they not trust us to leave the opener or return it when we checked out? Did the hotel have a bottle opener shortage? Or maybe they simply wanted to encourage us to drink their canned mini-bar drinks that did not require an opener. Regardless of their reasons, I thought it quite odd. Whenever I've requested a bottle opener at other hotels, one has simply been loaned to me for the duration of my stay. Not the case with the Waterfront. Since we were able to find a bottle opener to buy without too much trouble, it was just a tiny inconvenience, and that really was my only complaint about my stay at the Waterfront though. Read more
"Waterfront Hotel-Cebu City, only the best"
The staff is excellent. The hotel is beautiful. I work at a five star in Las Vegas and we could learn a lot from them. Anything you need at anytime. From directions to recommending daily activities they are happy to assist you in any kind of way. The front desk staff seems to lack personality but they are very busy so I didn't hold them to it. Stay […] there for sure. Read more
"Waterfront Cebu City Casino Resort great location."
Hotel is in a great location and the shuttle to the shopping center Ayala and SM was great. Would like to have had an ironing board and Iron available for cloths wrinkled from travel. They make you send your cloths out to have them pressed which is expensive. Staff was friendly and food was OK but Very expensive.
"My favorite hotel in Cebu"
We were there in May 2011 and our experience was excellent. Thisis the second time we booked with this hotel. Both stays have been memorable and we will most likely book with them again when we are back in town. Everything from the staff to the overall look of the hotel met all our expectations. And it is conveniently located near the Ayala center where […] shops and restaurants are at (just a few minutes taxi ride away). Definetly recommend this hotel. Read more

the gym was a really good place for a workout. the room was above average and the staff was good
"Nine Night Stay Was Excellent"
This is a great hotel and very good value. Huge room with a great view. Excellent service, I missed the mall shuttle and the staff said no problem and drove me to where I wanted to go in another vehicle as a service. Happy, helpful staff, great breakfast...very clean..safe...what more can you expect from a hotel. I got a great rate at the 3+ night hotel […] stay too. Read more
"Cebu Waterfron Hotel and Casino"
By far the best stay I have had in Cebu. I was impressed by the professional attitude and freindliness of all staff. I almost felt like I was at home while I was there for 2 weeks. The hotel is close to everything you need during you stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was very good. Definitely […] take advantage of the breakfast buffett. The gym is updated and modern and the pool is a must use. Definitely a 5 star experience for me. Read more
"FAILED TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION"
The Waterfront failed to make a good first impression and failed on four accounts. The first failure was when they made me wait two hours after I arrived, even though I had checked in well past their 2 pm check-in time. Their second failure came when the only room available was a smoking room. Throughout my stay, I had to continually get the odor […] of cigarette smoke in the room. The third failure in my eyes is there was no room safe. Yes, they did have safe boxes down at the lobby, but who wants to carry all their valuables up and down from the room to the safe every time one leaves. Or remember to pick them up on a trip out. Lastly, the mini-bar was completely empty. There was nothing at the bar except for complimentary water and tea/coffee. And ironically, upon check-out, I was asked if I had anything from the mini-bar. Told them, there was no mini-bar. Read more
"Perfect place to stay"
I would recommend this Hotel to everyone. The room was really cleaned well each day. The free buffet breakfast included my spouse as well as all you can eat is just great. That alone must of saved me $558.00 over our 20 day stay. Personel was extremely friendly and so was the concierge service was outstanding. I plan on booking again in the fall and […] the only thing I will change is removing the mini bar and pop, beer, candy, chips as the cost of these items if used is 25 times more than you pay for it at the local mall grocery store. Buy your own. I got charged $8.00 for 3 bottles of water. Rediculious. Other than that everything was just great. The Air conditioning was in house and not the window type that are so noisey. The bed is soft but I had no problem sleeping on memory foam. Hotel security is top notch. Eating East end of the Hotel at the Port is very resonable and its a buffet too and serves mosly Philipino food. 5 stars is my recommendation for this hotel Read more

Everything was just perfect,,one of the better hotel i stayed at,, Next time it will be more days here
"Waterfront City. Christmas and new Year"
The only thing that I really did not like is the breakfast. Opening time is too short and the stuff is only then moving fast, when it comes to remove the buffet. Shure also 5 minutes to early, without pre announcement. Things are not getting refilled so fruits are often old, empty and dry at 9:30 already. Not bath wardrobes in the rooms. Room for improvements […] is clearly given. Still better than Marco Polo. Read more

"convenience"
the hotel was very accessible to almost everything.
Great motel, good breakfast!!
we stayed at the Parkland 2 weeks,and at Waterfront for 6 days. We had good service at both hotels. I think the Waterfront was a little more romantic but a little slower at checking in.The food at both hotels was very good and a safe place to eat. The casino was fun, and two disco,s to dance near by,and the simming pool was very nice with waterfall […] spilling into pool. Read more

"Was okay ..but"
Hotel and staff were generally okay although I do have a couple of complaints. I reserved a Single queen bed in a non smoking room. When I checked in I was told non were available - I needed to have a smoking room or non-smoking with two smaller beds unless I wanted to "upgrade". I later found out the hotel was at a very low occupancy and there WERE […] rooms avail. and they were just trying to get more money. Second - even though there is a temperature control in the room you have the choice of freezing or off. Setting it less cold made absolutely no difference. I will probably not stay there again because of my experience Read more
"Excellent Hotel - The Wife's favorite in Cebu City"
The wife likes this hotel for its convenience, services, room comfort, dining options, and value. This is her hotel of choice when in Cebu City.
"Very Satisfied : - )"
My wife and I stayed in The Waterfrnt Cebu City Htl Casino (the Lahug location)for two days and had an excellent time. We visit Cebu atleast once a year and have usually used another wonderful hotel for our accomodations. This year We tried The Waterfrnt Cebu City Htl Casino and had such an excellent experience that we now have added this hotel to our […] very short list. We were impressed with the overall look of the hotel (The lobby area is elegant)and the service. Very accomodating staff! The buffet breakfast is very good and there was live entertainment in the evening. The Ayala mall is just minutes away (a short taxi drive) where you can indulge in fun shopping and excellent dining! We definitely recommend this hotel. Read more
"NOT WORTH STAYING IN - A WASTE OF MONEY - BAD SERVICE"
i usually do not post comments about hotels i've stayed in but for this hotel i had to just because it was so bad... first of all i am married with 2 kids (1 yr old & 3 yrs old) we stayed at thsi hotel for 9 nights. i made a reservation for 2 twin/double beds and when i go there they gave me 2 single beds. i went to the reservation desk to ask why i […] had single beds when i had requested for twin/double beds...and the best answer he could give me was that was all the beds they had...i asked him you guys dont have rooms with 2 double beds in the hotel? and he said no we dont all we have our 2 single bed...i couldn't believe what i was hearing... then i asked for a crib for my 1 yr old and they brought me a very old, out of dated crib, which had one side bar down and it could not be pulled up to make sure my baby would not fall out, so i just ased for a playpen instead... and we were suppose to have free breakfast everyday, and the kids were suppose to be free, but they charged us for my 3 yrs old cz she ate cereal! i asked them why they were charging us when they told us the kids 5 and below were free...and the best answer they could give was "because she ate cereal" by this point i had had it with this hotel... they are a total rip off, not worth the money...do not stay here...esp bec of the casino there are alot of call girls standing around in the middle of the night and it is just an inappropriate environment for families with kids... i will never stay here again when we come back to visit cebu...the Marco polo was the best Hotel for us, cz we moved after those 9 horrible days at the waterfront...and stayed at the marco polo for the remaining 14 days...it was a great decision and we were much more happier with the customer service and the comfort of the hotel rooms and beds that we had...and yes this time at the marco polo we had 2 double beds and a real crib... so to those of you who plan on staying at the waterfront in cebu, please, even if its close to the Read more

"More near in elevator"
Its good
Hotel was way over-priced for such adated and old hotel. TV was pre-historic and the room old... good views though. The security system to the rooms was turned off as they couldn't get it to work!!
"Witthin walking distance to restaurants/shopping"
The staff is very friendly and will try to please you in all ways. The food is good and the hotel is located close to the Ayala Center and IT Park. The casino is fun but if you are a non-smoker then it is very tough for you. The swimming pool is very nice and if you enjoy hot weather then this is the place to be.
"Waterfront Hotel Cebu"
Very old and dated rooms ...even the tv was old. Majestic appearance from a distance and an impressive lobby does not help the tired and old rooms.... Way overpriced for the standard of the room...
"Nice location"
Nice hotel location, right next to Cebu IT park! I was satisfied with my stay here, but the rooms could need upgrading, they are getting old!
"ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED"
Close to Ayala Center - nice area around the hotel, including nice pool area, my experience was a VERY helpful and polite crew in hotel making you feel really welcome. Absolutely nothing to complain about . The hotel is also well suited for families.
