Alta is far from the city, and that is for sure. Thus, this is "the" place if you want to stay away from the noisy city life. The room: We were given room 12 upon arrival. The room was dark and the bathroom smelled awful. We asked to be transferred and we were given another room right away. Our room... More

We are the closest resort to Cebu City and Lapu Lapu (a city of about 250,00). Lapu Lapu is about 10 minute drive from Alta. Cebu biggest mall (enormous) is about a 30 minute drive by taxi. It appears that our staff forgot to clean the bathroom in room 12. Today I reminded our head of housekeeping and our 2... More

I met my fiance' at the Alta Cebu and we had a great time. The best thing going for the resort is the staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and we left knowing that we had made many new friends there. The restaurant had very good food from Phillipine to American cuisine. Taste and presentation was both given high... More

Overall the facilities are very clean and the upkeep of the grounds and gardens are commendable. This was my first time in the Philippines so I will say there are lots of bugs...There were tiny bugs in our room, on the table, even in the bed - almost microscopic but not "bed bugs" - don't want to freak anyone out!...

The attention to detail at this property is unparalleled. The grounds, restaurant, room, check in area are immaculate. I'm a US Major Airline Pilot, I stay in more hotels in one month then most spend in a year. My airline put us in 4-5 star hotels. This property is equal or better then most I stay at in Europe and...

I have stayed in about 15 hotels on Mactan and Cebu so I think I can speak with some authority on this hotel and service. Location: This hotel is located in Cordiva which is the mist remote you can get on the island of Mactan. This can be a good or bad thing depending on what you are looking for.... More

The Hotel facilities are nice. It is definately covered in gardins and the pool area is how it looks online. The rooms are clean but definately not big enough for a family of four (at least the room we had). The two negative aspects of the facility are that the resort has only one restaurant and combined with its remote... More

I am Larry, owner and part time operations manager (when our full time operations manager is overwhelmed). I also act as a sort of butler to guests when they cannot get what they want from our staff. To correct a few errors of fact: 1. We do have rooms big enough for a family of 4. Perhaps those rooms were... More

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Alta! Our flight from Seoul to Cebu was delayed and we lost our reservation at another hotel. In a panic at the airport at 12AM, we called ALTA from a bad Skype connection. Grace at the front desk was patient and friendly while taking our reservation while barely being able to... More

Stayed for two nights. Enjoyed the tranquility of the jungle/garden atmosphere. The grounds are truly lush and well maintained. The sound of fountains or running water can be heard from nearly every public area of the resort. Photo- quality sunsets over Alta Bay are seen from their specially constucted viewpoint. Local fishermen and kids from the adjacent orphanage are eager... More

From Larry, the owner of Alta Cebu Resort. Since you were formerly a GM at a large hotel in the states I listened carefully to your good advice. By talking to you at length, I could see you must have been a very good GM. Thanks for offering to help us see how we can make things even better. Thanks... More
