There's a Waterfront Hotel in Mactan, beside the airport, and another one in Lahug. I stayed in Lahug, the one that looks like Disneyland from afar. It's large and has a casino in it. It's not that accessible with its long driveway, but there's a taxi lane there.
The lobby is as big and grand as the exterior, but the rooms did not meet my expectations of a hotel that looked like a castle. Service also wasn't impressive. When I arrived still groggy from my morning flight, I was asked to wait till 1pm because they said that's the check-in time. With still 2 hours away, I complained that I couldn't hang around with my heavy luggage in tow.
Finally, they gave me a room, but the electronic key was malfunctioning. I was a bit disappointed by it. Good thing their buffet is extravagant.
