Guest sentiment
Marriott's first city hotel in Mactan, this 196-room Fairfield sits minutes from Cebu's airport and connects directly to Mahi Mall, built for airport-adjacent business and leisure stays.
Last updated August 6, 2026
Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan opened in December 2025 as Marriott's first international city hotel on Mactan Island, a select-service property aimed squarely at 'bleisure' travelers who value proximity and simplicity over resort trappings. Its biggest draw is location: it sits roughly two to five minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport within the Mahi Center mixed-use complex, with a direct connection to Mahi Mall for dining and shopping. The 196 rooms come in Standard Twin, Standard Queen and Deluxe Queen categories, with clean, Scandinavian- and Japanese-inspired interiors, ergonomic desks, mini-fridges and smart TVs; some rooms offer Mactan Channel or city views. On-site dining centers on DAVOS, an all-day restaurant serving local seafood and international dishes, backed by The Market grab-and-go and free breakfast for eligible guests. Other facilities include a 24-hour fitness center and roughly 250 square meters of divisible event space, but there is no swimming pool. Early guest feedback praises the friendly staff, spotless rooms and unbeatable airport access, while noting the typical rough edges of a brand-new build, including a lingering new-construction smell and some facilities still being completed. It is a convenient transit and business base rather than a beach resort.
