Mactan Island is the entry point for those traveling by air to the province of Cebu. Philippine Hotel Reservations Services offers Airport-Area Hotels as well as, of course, Mactan's world famous Beach Resorts. The absolute highlight of Mactan, in fact of all Philippine Resorts is the Shangri-La Mactan Island Resort & Spa, which gets continuously voted as one of Asia's top luxury resorts. Other upscale beach resorts include: Plantation Bay Resort which features one of the largest pool areas in the Philippines; Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort which has a nice beach and "sand bar" area and offers cozy and spacious rooms; and the new Hilton Cebu Resort & Spa which is famous for its Spa Suites and great restaurants. For less costly options there are: the Tambuli Resorts and the Cebu Beach Club; Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel and Cebu White Sands which are nice for families and couples. For those wanting exclusive and private accommodations, Cordova Reef Village Resort and Island & Sun Beach Resort are the perfect choices. Newly opened resorts such as the Imperial Resort and Crimson Resort & Spa are also recommended for those going to Mactan Island.

Hotels near the airport can serve as a good place for flight stopovers or provide a cost effective alternative to hotels outside Cebu City. Well liked airport hotel options are the Waterfront Airport Hotel & Casino which is right across the airport's terminal, the Days Hotel, or the spacious Crown Regency Suites. hide all
