In Cebu: Sheraton Hotels and Resorts 1st in the PH

“It’s a new gathering place.” It’s the superbly structured and impressive Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort. It is part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of 30 extraordinary brands, with the opening of the brand’s first resort in the Philippines.

In the words of area vice president for Korea and the Philippines, Duke Nam: “The opening of Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, marks Marriott International as well as Sheraton’s first resort in the Philippines, and we are committed to growing our diversified portfolio in the region.”

Boasting of its guest rooms as being modern and spacious, it has floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies, with the majority facing the ocean. State-of-the-art amenities include 50-inch LED television, high-speed wireless internet and premium bath accessories. A luxurious selection of room types include the 246 square meter presidential suite and the 89 sq. mt. honeymoon suite affording a 180 degree sea panorama.

Scrumptious epicurean delights can be enjoyed at the resort’s various foodstops: Dip, the resort’s signature restaurant; 5 CIEN, an all-day dining place; and Buhi Bar, a unique cave bar serving classic and contemporary drinks paired with tasty Mediterranean dishes etc.

To complete your luxurious and formal dining experience, try the resort’s expansive 1,400 event space, including a 500-capacity grand ballroom and four function rooms. The well-trained event and catering team will certainly assure top quality cuisine and service.

The celebrity studded grand opening weeks ago had a gathering of Marriott Hotel VIPs, and local political leaders.

Sheraton Cebu takes pride in its majestic, architectural structure accented with rich, Cebuano-inspired design elements from earth-toned furnishings to trendy, handcrafted furniture. Due credit goes to Cebu-based leading Real Estate developer, AppleOne Properties Inc., owned by property visionary couple, Ray Manigsaca, chief executive officer and president, and Venus Manigsaca, chairperson.

A toast to the couple, and many more projects to come!
