Jo-Cris Apartelle

In the heart of Lapu-Lapu, a compact spa guesthouse a minute's walk from Mactan Island and about an 8-minute stroll to Gaisano Grand Mall Mactan. The Outlets at Pueblo Verde, Mactan Doctors' Hospital and Cebu's major malls are all within easy reach.

Just four air-conditioned rooms equipped with refrigerators, flat-screen TVs and cable; rooms also include desks, coffee/tea makers and private showers with complimentary toiletries. A rooftop terrace and a barbecue area add local character, while housekeeping is provided on a limited basis and the front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Complimentary wireless internet, a full-service spa, rooftop terrace and tour/ticket assistance give this place a chill, service-forward vibe — and it's steps from the sea for easy sea-breeze mornings. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available 24 hours for a surcharge.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and concierge/tour assistance help keep plans on track; airport shuttle service can be arranged for transfers.
