"where to begin.... The Staff... absolutely professional and accommodating with care. We cant thank them enough for the superb attention they gave to us and all other guests. The location was easy access to most places as well. The Family Suite was just as pictured and offered us ample room for our stay. One also cannot make a bad critique with the food as it was outstanding. As a FYI, Its a "Must" to schedule the breakfast buffet into your plans. The weekend Japanese dinner buffet satisfied the pallets of the three of us. We are so happy that our initial plans at the Ducit on Lapu Lapu didn't work out. Will we come back? most definitely."
