Located along Punta Engaño Road in Lapu-Lapu City, Mactan, Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort–Marriott International’s first resort in the Philippines– will open its doors to the public on Sept. 1.

Sheraton Cebu Mactan, according to its statement, has 261 stylish rooms and suites with the captivating views of the Hilutungan Channel, one of Cebu’s finest and richest sanctuaries, and the scenic Olango Island, one of the seven best-known flyaways for migratory birds in the world.

Its Sheraton Honeymoon Suite has a 180-degree view of the ocean in the bedroom area.

One of their outlets is Sa Sitio,  a community-inspired coffee bar-deli-bakery shop, where guests can connect with each other or be alone. It offers  a vast array of pastries, staple drinks, and grab-and-go offering for gastronomic satisfaction.

All three main dining outlets will have a variety of food selection.

5 Cien, the resort’s all-day dining, brings culture, art, and haute cuisine all together over an etch of international dining selections complemented with a selection of local offerings such as the taho, sikwate or tablea, and other Cebuano delicacies served in a gourmet ensemble.
