Discerning holiday travelers often search for dream destinations coupled with properties that go the extra mile. This brings us unforgettable memories of moments to remember.
The recent opening of the Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, part of Marriott Bonvoys with a portfolio of 30 extraordinary brands, is determined to be the newest place to relax, recharge, and recover — particularly for stressed-out city dwellers. This is the establishment's first resort in the Philippines.
Located along the Punta Engaño Road on Mactan Island, the 261-room beachfront hideaway offers captivating views of the Hilutungan Channel, considered one of Cebu's richest marine sanctuaries and Olango Island, known for its flyways for migratory birds.
The traditional ribbon
-cutting was led by Department of Tourism Secretary Cristina Garcia Frasco, House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Duke Frasco and Representatives PJ Garcia and Cindi Chan, and Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard Chan.
They were joined by owning company AppleOne Properties Inc. president and CEO Ray Manigsaca and chairperson and wife Venus, Marriott International Area vice president for Korea and the Philippines Duke Nam, Philippines Marriott International multi-property vice president Bruce Winton and Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort general manager Dottie Wurgler-Cronin.
Secretary Frasco emphasized the positive effects this property will have on the island's development and growth. Meanwhile, GM Dottie Wurgler-Cronin assured that the resort, with its spectrum of accommodations and facilities, eclectic cuisine combined with impeccable service, will make it one of the most enticing holiday destinations.
