Buffet and staff were good. They are understaffed during our stay. Needs more cleaning especially the pool and rooms.
Pros:

Very nice location, just near CCLEX bridge.

Cons:

The room is very dirty and CR was stinky. Obviously one of the bed sheets wasnt replace with new sheets. The pool water was really dirty. We were given room at 6PM already.

I’ve stayed at this resort before and had a decent experience, but this stay was very poor and disappointing. There was
Pros:

Close to where I lived.

Cons:

I’ve stayed at this resort before and thought it was decent, which is why I decided to come back. Unfortunately, this recent stay was very disappointing.

The check-in process was poor, and there was no notice or disclosure that the second-floor area was under construction. When we got to the elevator, the button for the second floor was taped over, so we accidentally pressed the third floor and later found out the second floor was inaccessible by elevator due to construction. We ended up using the stairs just to reach our room.

The hallway leading to the room was dusty and noisy because of the ongoing construction. Once inside the room, it was still dusty and extremely hot. There was also no hand soap provided, which is a basic necessity that should already be available for guests.

Considering I paid 8,000 pesos per night, the overall experience did not feel worth the price or up to resort standards. To make things worse, the breakfast buffet had very poor food selections.

Overall, this stay was far below expectations compared to my previous visit.

Overpriced and poorly maintained — not worth the money.
Pros:

Very disappointed with our stay at Solea Mactan Resort. The resort is very overpriced for the quality of experience they provide.

The pools were dirty and had a very strong chlorine smell. The rooms were also dirty, old, and very hot, making it uncomfortable to relax. Even the elevators were extremely hot and not functioning properly most of the time. Overall, the facilities felt poorly maintained and outdated.

The only good thing about this resort is the beach area, which was nice. But aside from that, the experience did not match the high price at all.

Definitely not worth the money, and unfortunately we were totally unhappy with our stay

Pros:

The resort is fantastic for families, especially with kids — there’s so much to do that ours were in absolute heaven. The variety of pools and activities kept them constantly entertained, and it really felt like a place designed for fun and making memories. The views are absolutely spectacular, especially from the rooms, and considering the price point, it offers great value for money. Overall, if your focus is on the kids having the best time, this place absolutely delivers.

Cons:

While the overall experience was enjoyable, the hotel itself does show signs of being a little tired in certain areas. Some of the finer details — particularly in the rooms and finishes — are noticeable, especially from an adult perspective. It doesn’t necessarily take away from the stay, but it’s something worth noting if you’re expecting a more polished or modern feel throughout. Additionally, some of the facilities were closed during our stay due to maintenance, and from what I’ve since read, this seems to be a fairly common theme — which is a bit disappointing when you’re expecting full access to what’s advertised.

Very comfortable, great facilities, pools, food and staff.
Pros:

It is a place for those that love a pool, great food that is value for money and a concierge that was the best we came across in the Philippines. They booked good tours for us.

The drive for snorkelling, isn’t close but the drive is interesting and tours well organised. Closer resorts didn’t appear to be as nice.

Our daughter utilised the free daily shuttle to the shopping centre which is huge.

Best resort for swimming, slides, inflatables etc. Grandchild and I loved it.

Cons:

It’s not a dislike but it say you go to Bohol from here like we did it’s a huge day. Maybe stay in Bohol a night as well.
The packed breakfast was 3 bread rolls and 2 eggs which compared to the included buffet could include a much better cold selection- was surprised given everything else was so great.

Would love it if they had an on site cooking class. Only one on island is a demonstration with limited involvement and something I think they would do well.

Birthdays are well celebrated by staff who call themselves the Solea family.

The location is in a dodgy area, people say you can walk there but I wouldn’t honestly .
Pros:

The pools looked like the pics

Cons:

There was one young gentlemen there as a waiter, I believe his name way Raymond, he was fantastic. Really world class, so friendly and professional and the cleaning lady was really so sweet and professional, she checked in everyday to see if I was okay, if I needed anything. She was very nice .

But the main thing, the location, it’s far away from everything but that’s okay it’s a taxi ride away , the problem is the location of the hotel, I didn’t feel safe from the entrance onwards. I couldn’t walk anywhere.
