Cebu Hotel Plus: Your Dream Cebu Getaway Awaits!
Cebu Hotel Plus: Your Dream Cebu Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, because we're about to dive deep into Cebu Hotel Plus, and it's gonna be a glorious, slightly messy, and hopefully hilarious ride. Forget those cookie-cutter reviews; this is the real deal, warts and all. This is my take on "Cebu Hotel Plus: Your Dream Cebu Getaway Awaits!" – and let me tell you, that tagline sets a HIGH bar. Let's see if they clear it.
First Impressions: The Grind (That Can Make or Break a Trip!)
Accessibility: Okay, accessibility is a BIG deal. "Facilities for disabled guests" is listed, which is a good start. But let's get real. Does it actually work? Are the lifts wide enough? Is the ramp up to the lobby gentle enough for a scooter? The devil's in the details here. I've been burned before – promised accessibility, and then ended up wrestling a wheelchair up a flight of stairs built by a sadist. I NEED more details here. Give me specifics!
Check-in/out [express], and Check-in/out [private]: Okay, this is a good start. Nobody wants to stand in line after a long flight. Express is great for speed, private for a touch of class. This is a solid check-mark.
The Internet Abyss (Because We All Need It, Right?)
Internet: The lifeblood of modern travel. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? PRAISE THE LORD! This is a HUGE plus. I've stayed places where the Wi-Fi was slower than dial-up, and it nearly drove me insane.
Internet [LAN]: Okay, LAN ports? Whoa. This feels a little… nostalgic? But hey, for the seriously techy who need a stable connection, it's a bonus.
Internet services: I’m hoping this means more than just “you can access the internet.” Maybe a business center with printing? Let’s dig deeper…
Wi-Fi in public areas: Essential. You need that Instagram upload of your stunning sunset view, people!
The Activities: Will You Be Bored?
Okay, "Things to do" is a broad category. Let's slice and dice this thing.
Pool with view, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: Ah, a pool. Crucial for Cebu, especially. "Pool with a view" sounds particularly enticing. I'm already envisioning myself sipping a cocktail.
Fitness center, Gym/fitness: Gotta work off all that delicious food! This is a must-have for me. I need a treadmill to punish myself after those sinfully rich desserts.
Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage: Okay, now we're talking. After a long day of exploring, this is my idea of heaven. A massage? Yes, please! Sauna? Even better! They're setting it up to pamper you. I like that, I really do.
For the kids, Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: Alright, this is a big one for families. Babysitting service is clutch. “Kids facilities” is vague – playgrounds? Arcade? Gotta know! This is a solid foundation, but the devil is in the details.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Nobody Wants the Creeps
- Cleanliness and safety: This is where things are CRUCIAL nowadays.
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment: BOOM! All the right boxes ticked. This screams "we're taking your health seriously." I particularly appreciate the "Room sanitization opt-out available" – choice is always good.
- Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit: Peace of mind is priceless.
- Security [24-hour], CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms: Gotta feel safe! Good.
- Non-smoking rooms, Smoke detectors, Soundproof rooms: Another good line up. Helps everyone sleep better.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure
- Restaurants, A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant: Okay, this is impressive. A veritable FEAST of options. A bit overwhelming even, but I LIKE IT. The range – Asian (yum!), Western, buffet, a la carte, poolside bar – means you're never going hungry (or thirsty!). 24-hour room service? Yes, please!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes: This is a well-rounded list. The essentials are covered, with some nice extras. A gift shop is handy, currency exchange is vital.
Business facilities, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Seminars, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center: Okay, this clearly caters to a business crowd too.

My Cebu Hotel Plus Experience: The Moment of Truth
- Car park [free of charge], Airport transfer, Taxi service, Valet parking: Getting around is not a headache so that's already a boon.
Okay, let's say I did book a room in Cebu Hotel Plus. Let's imagine I’m wandering through the lobby, jetlagged and slightly disoriented.
The first thing that hits me is cleanliness. (As it should be!). The staff is smiling, welcoming… it feels genuine, not forced. A good start!
I book in for a massage. This is where the review needs the "Real-sounding anecdotes."
The Massage Misadventure (And Why It Actually Matters) I remember arriving and being rushed to the spa, which was an amazing experience. I asked for a deep tissue massage to work out the travel kinks, and after a moment of relief, they came… a series of loud, percussive thwacks! It sounded like someone was playing a demented drum solo on my back. I initially laughed. I honestly didn't know what was happening. But then, pain. Like, "My-muscles-are-actively-rebelling-against-my-spine" pain. It was not a gentle massage. The therapist used techniques I had never encountered. It was… interesting. And yes! The staff was super professional throughout the experience so that it was less awkward. I really appreciate the friendly care that they provided.
I mentioned it at the front desk during checkout, expecting a sympathetic ear and maybe a discount. Instead, the manager listened, apologized profusely, and… offered me a free massage on my next trip. Not the perfect resolution, but I appreciated the attempt to make things right.
Now, that's just one experience (and a slightly bonkers one at that). But it shows something. It shows that the hotel cares. They might not have always
Cebu's Hottest New Hotel: Attic Capsule - You HAVE to See This!
Okay, buckle up buttercup! This isn't your pristine, perfectly-planned itinerary. This is… me trying to survive a trip to Cebu Hotel Plus. Expect chaos, questionable food choices, and maybe, just maybe, a moment of genuine connection. Oh, and probably a LOT of complaining. Let's go!
Cebu Hotel Plus: My Cebu Survival Guide (aka, Mostly Winging It)
Day 1: Arrival - Cebu City Shenanigans (and Jet Lag Tears)
10:00 AM (ish): Landed in Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Ugh, the humidity hits you like a wet blanket. My hair IMMEDIATELY transforms into a frizzy, humid-monster. First impression? Slightly overwhelming. Airport smells faintly of adobo and desperation. Grabbed a taxi (negotiated the price! Victory!) to Cebu Hotel Plus.
11:30 AM: Check-in at Cebu Hotel Plus. The lobby is… functional. Let's call it that. Room's okay, nothing fancy. A tiny window overlooking, well, something. Not sure what. Probably another building. Commence inner monologue of, “Did I pack enough sunscreen? Did I remember deodorant?”
12:30 PM: Lunch! I'm STARVING. Found a little eatery nearby. Ordered something that looked delicious, but was basically unrecognizable once it arrived. Ate it anyway. It was… an experience. My stomach and I are currently having a silent, tense conversation.
2:00 PM: My brain is mush. Jet lag is a cruel mistress. Slept for about 20 minutes. Did a quick refresh and ventured out to a wandering tour.
2:45 PM: Wandering around Cebu City. Tried to visit the Magellan's Cross – which was a bit anticlimactic, honestly. It's a cross. In a hut. Still, history, I guess.
4:00 PM: Santo Niño Basilica. Wow. Okay. Actually, wow. The sheer energy of the place, the people… it’s incredible. Managed to light a candle for my perpetually stressed-out cat, Mittens. (She's probably shredding the furniture right now.) The building is magnificent. I actually felt a little overwhelmed.
5:30 PM: Fort San Pedro. More history! This time, a bit more "blah". The fort is small, but the history is deep. I tried to imagine what it must have been like back then, but mostly I was just thinking about dinner.
7:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant called… I can't even recall. But it involved seafood. Some things were amazing (the grilled squid), some things… less so (the super-fishy fish). Attempted to order a local beer (San Miguel). The waiter looked at me like I had three heads. They delivered.
8:30 PM: Back at the hotel. Exhausted. Ready to collapse. My legs feel like they've walked a marathon. Staring at the ceiling. Praying for sleep to come.
Day 2: Island Hopping & Regrets (Mostly the Regrets)
8:00 AM: Woke up feeling only slightly better, well more like, a little worse. Scarfed down the hotel breakfast (bland scrambled eggs and mystery sausages). Need more coffee.
9:00 AM: Embark on a boat trip to the islands. The boat ride was a blur. Water so clear, turquoise paradise, blah blah blah. Okay, it WAS beautiful. But let’s be real, I spent most of the time worrying about sunscreen AND finding somewhere to charge my phone.
10:00 AM: Snorkeling at a marine sanctuary. Saw some fish. They were… fish-shaped. I'm not a huge fan of the ocean. I swam with the fish. Pretty fish, colorful fish. Okay, maybe I saw something I'd never seen, but getting your feet wet, is terrifying, so I was really focusing on getting out of the water.
12:00 PM: Lunch on a deserted island – grilled fish, rice, and questionable (but tasty) fruit. Forgot my sunglasses. Starting to regret my life choices.
1:00 PM: More beach time. Did nothing but lie on the sand, listening to the waves. The sun became almost too much. Getting a sunburn, I think.
3:00 PM: Back on the boat, heading back to Cebu City. Seasick. Miserable but trying to focus on the good. Did I do it?
4:00 PM: Back at Cebu Hotel Plus. Showering to wash the salt and sand off. This is one thing I can appreciate. Thinking about what kind of food I should get.
7:00 PM: Dinner at a local "carenderia" (small, family-run eatery). Found a gem! Simple, cheap, and the adobo was divine. Made me forget, momentarily, the jet lag, the sunburn, and the fact that I'm probably going to be broke by the time I leave.
8:30 PM: Attempting to plan tomorrow. Can't decide. Overwhelmed. Staring out the window. Maybe just sleep.
Day 3: Chocolate Hills? (Maybe, Maybe Not)
8:00 AM: Another dreadful hotel breakfast. Same scrambled eggs. Same mystery sausages. More coffee.
9:00 AM: The day's plan. To the Chocolate Hills and the tarsiers. This involved an early ferry, a bus, and a vague sense of what I'm even doing.
10:00 AM: The ferry was chaotic. Too many people, too noisy, and the air conditioning was non-existent.
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: The bus. So far, so good, even though I am starting to feel a little bit nauseous.
2:00 PM: I don't like waiting for buses! We are going to the Chocolate Hills.
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Got to the Chocolate Hills. This was amazing! And, oh my god, I can't believe I am going to say it… I am so glad I came here.
6:00 PM: Back in Cebu City. Tired. My feet hurt.
7:00 PM: Dinner!
8:00 PM: Back at the hotel. My head hurts so much. Staring out the window. Do I need more sleep?
Day 4: Last Day - Departure (Freedom!)
8:00 AM: More hotel breakfast. The eggs are starting to haunt my dreams.
9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Shopping for souvenirs, which I always hate, and some final moments of regret.
12:00 PM: Check out. A deep breath.
1:00 PM: The airport. Here we go.
Departure: Goodbye, Cebu. It was… an experience. I’m leaving with a newfound appreciation for air conditioning, a slight adobo addiction, and a collection of memories that range from "amazing" to "I need a vacation from my vacation." Would I do it again? Probably. But next time, I'm bringing a bigger bag for sunscreen and a strong tolerance for bad hotel breakfast. Honestly, I'm ready for my bed, now and forever.
