APART FROM Mactan Island’s pristine waters, beautiful white sand beaches, as well as sites full of historical accounts and watersports activities, the island is also the home of The Mactan Newtown, Megaworld’s first integrated urban township with a beachfront in Central Visayas and the international gateway to all lifestyle possibilities.
In this Megaworld community, great experiences are found in every corner of the township. It takes pride in becoming a thriving business sector in Mactan, and offers the perfect balance of city and beach living. Excellent learning opportunities are now accessible too, in addition to the residential and leisure opportunities.
One Megaworld property that is located in the 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown is the Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown, an 18-story hotel equipped with a comprehensive set of facilities and services where guests and travelers can experience genuine Cebuano hospitality and see the city of Cebu in a new light.
At the hotel, guests and travelers can choose from different Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown rooms. Its superior deluxe (24 square meter) comes with all the basics, while deluxe premier (35 sqm) affords guests with more space. Junior suite (54 sqm), on the other hand, provides ultimate privacy as it has a separate bedroom and a living area for an extra leisure space or for entertaining guests.
These rooms are furnished with comfortable beds and decked with splashes of calming blue for a relaxing stay, as well as common room amenities, such as coffee- and tea-making facilities, mini bar, Wi-Fi connection, LED TV, and electronic safety box.
Josef Victor Chiongbian, general manager of Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown, said that the hotel is situated in a township where everything is just a few minutes walk away.
“Aside from the offerings of our six food and beverage outlets, we encourage our guests to discover Mactan by exploring what Newtown has to offer. The entire township is guaranteed safe and secure. Guests and visitors will expect a warm Cebuano hospitality,” Chiongbian also told Malaya Business Insight.
Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown has facilities that guests and travelers can take advantage of, such as a fitness center equipped with the latest cardiovascular equipment and perfect for quick or full workouts to get in shape; and a refreshing swimming pool, but it is closed until March 31 due to scheduled building repairs and maintenance, so staying guests and travelers are advised to go to Mactan Belmont Luxury Hotel to take a quick dip.
A few meters away from the hotel is the Mactan Newtown Beach, which offers more fun and various beach facilities and watersports activities. While some areas of the beach are under construction and renovations are in progress, it will get back with much better amenities in the second week of March, before summer begins.
Experience a new hotel dining experience in Cebu at the hotel’s following establishments: delicious snacks and healthy light dishes at the Poolside Bar; all-day Filipino, Western, and Continental breakfast, including local dishes with a twist, at Savoy Café; and thirst quenching fresh juices and celebratory drinks at Zabana Bar.
The hotel’s events team will take care of the details so guests and travelers can focus on what’s important. Its massive Function Hall comprises three separate rooms named after the ships of Magellan (Victoria, San Antonio, and Concepcion) and can accommodate up to 100 guests at a time, while the meeting room has modern technical and lighting facilities and can host a maximum of 60 guests.
According to Chiongbian, Savoy Hotel Mactan is the only pet-friendly hotel amongst all Savoy hotel properties and in the entire Mactan island.
“Throughout history, pets have proved to be the best friends of humans. Most people consider their pets to be members of their family. They never want to be away from their pets even when they are on holiday. As observed, this feature is creating a great experience for our guests even those who are non-pet owners,” he explained.
