Pacific Cebu Resort

The resort itself was really nice. It was quite relaxing and pretty. The location is far to get to anywhere.

The Wi-Fi was very very weak and needed to get a new voucher daily. The rooms weren't as pretty as the pictures suggested. When they checked my friend and I in, even though we requested for queen sized beds, they still gave us 2 singles.

This hotel does have a good pool area. 4 total pools (we only saw 3) including one with a bar in the pool.

Where to start. We reserved a room with a double bed, but upon check in they informed us that they only had a room with 2 single beds, but offered to push them together. I asked if they had an upgraded room with the correct arrangement. I was told that they did, but only for an extra $120 USD per night. We opted to check into our room with two single beds instead. Since we had just gotten off of a four and a half hour drive we decided to just eat at the hotel restaurant. It was a pretty horrible experience. We ordered adobo fried rice, nachos, and seafood soup. The adobo fried rice tasted as though it was white rice tossed in soy sauce and the manager seemed to confirm that they just use a store bottle of adobo sauce. The nachos were maybe the worst that I've had. It seemed that they were made with pasta sauce. I couldn't even finish half of them before giving up. The seafood soup had what my partner described as chewy shrimp. None of the clams opened during cooking. For a beachfront restaurant the lack of fresh seafood was pretty surprising. I complained with the management about the quality of the food, he took note of it but there was no follow-up and nothing came of it. After that experience we were excited to explore other food options in the area the next day. This was made more difficult by the fact that the hotel is so far way from most things. After countless attempts getting a Grab car (similar to Uber), none would come to pick up at the hotel. I asked the front desk if they could call a car or taxi for us and they said that they couldn't call taxis to the hotel. They did offer up, however, that they had a hotel car that we could take to the restaurant 15 minutes away, but it would cost 900 pesos each way. We ended up deciding to walk outside the hotel grounds to find someone who could drive us. Right outside were a few rides lined up to take guests.
