Guest sentiment
Beachfront Sheraton resort on the tip of Mactan Island, Cebu, with some of the island's largest sea-view rooms, cascading infinity pools and Sheraton's first branded spa in Asia.
Last updated August 6, 2026
The Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort is a beachfront property occupying the northern tip of Mactan Island, opened in 2023 as one of the newest full-service resorts on the island. Independent reviewers consistently praise its 261 rooms and suites, among the largest on Mactan, with Filipino-inspired hardwood interiors, private balconies, soaking tubs, rain showers and marble bathrooms overlooking gardens or the sea. The elevated, fifth-floor open-air lobby maximises panoramic ocean views. Facilities draw rave notices: cascading infinity-edge pools, a white-sand beach with watersports, a 24-hour fitness centre, a kids' club and teen club, and Sheraton's first branded spa in Asia with six treatment rooms. Dining is a highlight, from the extensive 5 Cien breakfast buffet to Nikkei-style Dip and the cave-set Buhi Bar. Service earns strong marks for genuine Filipino hospitality, and elite guests report complimentary breakfast and activity vouchers. Watch-outs are consistent across sources: the resort feels isolated with little walkable nearby, food and drink prices run high, service at some outlets can be inconsistent, and sunbeds and upgrades can be limited. On TripAdvisor it holds a 4-of-5 rating, ranked around #8 of 69 area hotels from roughly 928 reviews.
