The Waterfront Airport Hotel is highly valued for its convenient location just across from Cebu Airport Terminal 1, with Terminal 2 also within walking distance and a free shuttle service available. Guests appreciate the comfortable, spacious rooms and enjoy amenities such as the pool, open until late, and the variety of food at the restaurant.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

convenient locationbroken escalatorpool maintenance

The hotel's proximity to the airport was convenient. It made early morning departures stress-free.

The hotel showed signs of disrepair. The escalators were out of service, and I saw no signs to guide guests. This made navigating the hotel with luggage difficult. The pool was closed for cleaning early in the morning, a time when I wanted to exercise.
