Movenpick Hotel Mactan Cebu | Best Luxury Resorts in the Philippines

[@johnhorton5022]

wow that is such a good resort taking everything into account. Really want to try that 15 course grill. Thanks Rob, I really enjoy and appreciate your hotel/resort reviews.

[@FindingParadise]

Thanks John. It is a bit pricey, but that's the norm in Mactan Island. One of the meats they grill is ostrich! I wanted to check out Dusit Thani in Mactan in March but that's been put on hold obviously . That's a new resort here that I'm really interested to check out. Hopefully in the next couple of Months. Still at this stage my favourite resort in Mactan is the Shangri La.

@@FindingParadise How much was the price for the 15 course grill?

[@FindingParadise]

I can't remember (except it was expensive!). I did find online a couple of years ago to give you an idea "The all-you-can-eat grill is at Php 2,780 nett, and PHP3,446 nett with free flowing Manny O. wine. Price as of May 6, 2019

It looks like a nice place to stay. Also with the addition of food and dinner entertainment it appears to be a good package.

[@FindingParadise]

Yeah it's a nice place. My original plan was to check out a lot of the resorts on Mactan and do a "best of" video, but that's all on hold at the moment! Keep well. Cheers Rob

Beautiful

[@FindingParadise]

Yes it looks very stylish with lovely scenery.

[@Tiger_Pawzzzzz]

Yeah, mate. I was impressed I decided to stay one more night.

[@FindingParadise]

Glad you enjoyed :) I wish I was there now......

[@vihengz]

If I'm not mistaken, Movenpick was once the Hilton resort and Spa. It was once known as the pink hotel. I had been there when it was still Hilton and then also when it already became the Movenpick Hotel. I could say both were still pricey. Hehe! At least customer service was nice.

[@FindingParadise]

Yes it was. Movenpick bought it over. They shut it down for a bit while they revamped the place and added the Ibiza Club area. They really did improve the place since it was the Hilton. Yes with all the upmarket resorts in Mactan it is pricey!

[@edmundcarew7235]

Great video, especially considering how hard it would have been to film at night with the widely varying lighting where you were dining. Great shots of the dancers (again not easy to film) and Ibiza Club. Sadly due to COVID-19 the hotel shut (temporarily) on 31 August 2020 and probably would have reopened by now, given that from 10 February 2022 Philippines is again 'open' to international tourists BUT on 17 December 2021 Typhoon Rai (locally called 'Odette') struck, severely damaging teh Movenpick Hotel, Mactan Cebu. Rob, do you have an inkling when it may reopen? I tend not to stay at these Mactan resorts as I consider them somewhat overpriced (and prefer 'true' experiences on offshore islands) but when it reopens, there may be promotional rates that are a deep discount on the norm. Let's hope for the sake of jobless staff that it's soon.

[@FindingParadise]

I was shocked by the photos online. Apparently a worker died as well.I haven't heard as yet. When I'm in Cebu again I'll try to check how things are going.

[@edmundcarew7235]

@@FindingParadise I've since established that this resort is to reopen on 31 August 2022.

[@FindingParadise]

@@edmundcarew7235 great, thanks for the update.

[@anniegivera7341]

Been there before...veryNice but so expensive..

[@FindingParadise]

Yeah, in general all the resorts in Mactan Island are over priced!

[@dirkhoyer515]

How about the PRICES ???

[@FindingParadise]

Prices are shown in the video. Just an FYI though with typhoon Odette the Ibiza Club was guttered. The resort is temporarily closed until I think September of this year.

[@sniperax5035]
