A Candid Review: Amani Grand Resort Residences Condo – A Budget-Friendly Stay Near Cebu Mactan Airport for a 0.5 Night Stopover
When traveling to the Philippines, I usually fly with Cebu Pacific. The reason is simple: it offers the cheapest tickets. Cebu Pacific flights from Incheon to Mactan Airport always arrive around 1 AM. My girlfriend was arriving in Cebu on a morning flight, so I needed a place to stay briefly until she landed.
Since we planned to head directly to our main travel destination once she arrived, I needed to find a hotel or condo near Cebu Mactan Airport. Hotels near the airport were a bit over my budget, so I searched for a more affordable, value-for-money condo. That's when I found 'Amani Grand Resort Residences' Condo. To put it simply, for anyone arriving at dawn and needing a 0.5-night stay, I highly recommend it!
5 Minutes from the Airport, Optimal Location
Arriving in an unfamiliar place at dawn, the biggest concern is getting to your accommodation. Amani Grand Resort Residences is incredibly close to Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB). It took less than 5 minutes by Grab. Being able to go straight to the accommodation without getting lost in the dark early hours was a huge advantage. It was a great start to the trip, as it saved me the trouble of dragging my tired body far. A Grab ride at that hour cost about 120 pesos.
Home-like Comfort, The Condo's Charm
The room I stayed in was a clean and cozy studio type. Unlike a typical hotel, as a residence condo, it had a kitchen facility where simple cooking was possible, and a refrigerator and basic utensils were provided, which was convenient. Although I didn't cook anything upon my 새벽 arrival, it would be useful for those who want to prepare a simple breakfast the next morning. The bed was comfortable, allowing me to get much-needed rest for my tired body.
It also had a balcony, allowing me to enjoy the surrounding view of the condo. Personally, the most satisfying aspect was the 'home-like comfort.' Rather than a superficially luxurious hotel, I preferred the practical and cozy atmosphere. The air conditioner also worked well, ensuring a cool and comfortable sleep.
Convenient Check-in & A 'Go-To' Accommodation Verified by Three Stays
This was actually my third time staying at Amani Grand Resort Residences, and each time has been a satisfying experience, which is why I can confidently recommend it. Here are some of the memorable advantages:
- Quick and Easy Check-in: There was no need to worry about arriving at dawn. Staff are always present at the reception, allowing for a quick check-in process. The method was very simple: after briefly writing down the reservation details from the international hotel booking site, I retrieved the key from the mailbox for my assigned room. This made it very easy to get straight to my room without any confusion, even in the early hours.
- Strong Water Pressure and Spacious Bathroom: In all three of my visits, the bathrooms were spacious and comfortable, and both the toilet and shower had excellent water pressure, allowing for a refreshing wash. Sometimes, when traveling in Southeast Asia, water pressure can be an issue, but here I had no such worries. Basic shampoo and body wash were also provided, which was great for reducing the amount of luggage I needed to carry.
- Quiet and Clean Environment: After a late-night flight, getting undisturbed rest in a quiet environment is paramount. Amani Grand Resort Residences is quiet, allowing me to rest undisturbed and get a good night's sleep. Furthermore, regarding hygiene, which is often a concern during travel, I did not see any cockroaches or other pests during all three stays. The clean and pleasant environment gave me peace of mind.
Best Value for Money! Affordable Relaxation
Since it was a short 0.5-night stay after a eally in the morning arrival, booking an expensive international hotel was out of the question. Amani Grand Resort Residences' ability to offer a comfortable night's stay at a reasonable price was truly appealing. When I booked, it was available for about 40,000 KRW (including tax) per night, which I consider a very reasonable price.
While it's not a place with the ultra-luxurious facilities you might expect from a high-end resort, it was more than sufficient for a comfortable overnight stay. In fact, by cutting unnecessary costs and saving on travel expenses, it becomes the best choice for travelers who prioritize value for money.
For those arriving at Cebu Mactan Airport at dawn and planning to head straight to activities or resorts in the morning, rather than spending a lot on a luxury international hotel booking, I recommend experiencing a 0.5-night stay at 'Amani Grand Resort Residences'. You'll be able to start your trip refreshed and without fatigue!
