Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
The Waterfront Airport Hotel and Casino garners applause for its cleanliness and generously sized rooms, although a few guests suggest that certain areas could benefit from modernization. Its location is a hit for those catching early flights, offering both tranquility and convenience.
While the hotel's value is occasionally questioned due to renovations and service hiccups, the range of amenities, including a pool and a varied breakfast buffet, generally compensate. Service experiences vary, with commendations for the friendly staff and shuttle service but some disappointment over room service delays.

We stayed on January 11, 2025 one night only to then return to Europe the next day.
For a small fee we could do the Late Check-out.
We really enjoyed everything was to our liking from the room to the kindness of the staff to the good food served in the restaurant and so was breakfast.
The spacious and spacious room with a beautiful bathroom. Nice large and quiet pool apart from a few departing planes, but of course we were just attached to the airport. Really satisfied, at the opportunity we will return.

Although just a little dated, this hotel is ideal for arrival or departure from CEB. You can walk from the terminal to the lower level of the hotel, even pushing a trolley, though the hotel provides a shuttle service and there is a welcome desk in the Arrivals area.
The buffet breakfast includes fruits, pastries, western and Asian dishes ... and an egg station ensures these are hot (though all buffets tend struggle to keep all food hot and appetising).
We arrived early from an overnight medium-haul, and reception kindly allowed us early access to
our room after a bit of pleading - though there is a large and comfortable lobby.
There is a small pool on the lower level.
Rooms are large, comfortable and clean - and there is good WiFi throughout.
It is a short 15 minute walk into Lapu Lapu shopping area ... where there is a large supermarket and various restaurants. Great to see the community is fighting plastic waste...
It is not really the sort of place to spend a vacation, but a great layover facility.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
First the positive,-staff is great -Other than that =Hotel is old, first morning-food was served cold. You can only get food from the hotel which is small portions. You can not get anything from the buffett. You are trapped in your room with no window access for 7 to days. Our funiture keeps breaking. Carpet is old,old, and has the smell to prove it.
Hot water only works in the shower, not the sink facets, My heart goes out to the staff because I can tell they are trying hard but I would not recommend this hotel to anyone

I had an exceptional stay at Waterfront Airport Hotel. The housekeeping team, led by Mr. Peter, was incredibly accommodating and hospitable, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment. Dining in was a delight, with Mr. Anthony and his cheerful staff providing excellent service. Overall, my experience was truly worth sharing with friends and everyone seeking a remarkable stay.

Stayed there 2 times in this trip.
The hotel is located near the airport, very near just opposite the departure floor, 2 min. walk, they provide free pick-up and drop-off service to the airport upon request.
Room is nice and clean, the worse thing was when I check-in the front desk told me that we cannot eat or drink anything in my room otherwise they will charge some extra money, it is most ridiculous hotel rule I ever heard.

You literally see the hotel the moment you get out of the airport terminal. Cross the not so busy road with your luggage in tow. No hassle reaching the reception in a 3 min zipp walk.
This is a old style Grandish hotel of the 70’s and need some updating here and there.
I love the swimming pool area but hates the service there, normally takes at least half an hour for anything you order. As the resto is few floors up and there is no pool bar.
I guess the hotel management focuses all their energies to the real money making part of this business??… the casino attached to the hotel.
All can be better and has the potential to be a real TOP HOTEL of Cebu with a bit of TLC.
One thing I happy about is they have also accorded the right price for the services they now offer without overcharging like some “old grannies”hotels in Cebu and Manila .
The rooms are huge btw.

Great location for early flights...
We had separate flights leaving Cebu at 5:00am and 6:00am. Being able to basically walk across the road and go into the airport meant we didn't have to rely on transport for making our flights.
Hotel is clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Will stay here again.

The location is great. The buffet is fantastic. However the rooms are beyond dated. When they finish the remodeling they are currently doing, the hotel will be worth the premium price they ask today. Until then, unless you really want it for the airport location (which is the reason I stayed there), consider other properties.
If not for the great breakfast and fantastic dining area overall, I'd rate it a 2. Once the updates are finished, assuming the rooms are done well, it would be a solid 4 - possibly 5.

The room was clean. The service was exceptional. My wife and I stay here once or twice a year when traveling to and from the Philippines. The location could not be better (across the street from the airport and amazingly no airport noise was heard). Breakfast is excellent.

We stayed 1 night since we are flying out early morning and the hotel is just across from the airport. The hotel provides free shuttle to pick up and drop off. It is a nice hotel and the rooms were spacious. We ate at the restaurant for lunch. It was disappointing since it took over 30 minutes to get served and we had a tour scheduled.

Don't really know. Didn't use it.
Yes, fruit and bread. There are several hot plate options that rotate, which might have some vegetarian options like noodles.
The airport is just across the street less than a 100metres walk. You can arrange with the hotel personnel for assistance too if you have plenty of luggage.
I only tried to deposit our luggage after checking-out for few hours. They were fine with it. But unsure if they will agree to leave it in few days.
