$50 – $96

Over the past four years, SDR has been busy building new luxury serviced apartments at Kiener Hills Condos site. The original building was built in 1997 but now all the units they operate are less than 4 years old (the majority less than years old) and extremely well maintained. Conveniently located: a few minutes from the International Airport and Marina Mall on Mactan Island, SDR is approximately 10 mins from beaches and 5 minutes from Mactan Golf Course.

Standard Rooms (Studio Apartments) are the largest in Cebu at 36.5 sq/mtrs or 400 sqf ($50) inc. Tax. Special Weekly rates for studio apartments at $288 (inc. Tax) and Monthly rates $999 (inc. Tax) or USD799 per month for six month stays. All rooms have complimentary 4mb broadband internet connection (which we love), personal IDD/ Local telephones systems (voice-mail, intercom)kitchens (with cooking facilities and utensils), DVD players, refrigerators and surprisingly, even electronic personal safes. SDR also have loft apartments – which are huge at (65 sq/mtrs or 700 sqf) and a steal at $96 per night and they are available as one huge – rockerfella like – bedroom or two bedrooms. Both have two bathrooms. SDR’s special weekly rates on the Loft at: $488 or $1,500 per month.

Service is excellent. You will definitely not be ripped off on extras. You can drink the whole mini bar (which is not kept in a mini-bar but a large standalone refrigerator) dry and still be able to pay for dinner! If you forgot your laptop, don’t despair, SDR has a business centre with modern computers. There is also a DVD and library for guests to use complimentary during their stay. Unlike most accommodation, SDR’s philosophy is clearly “value for money”.

There is also two swimming pools. SDR has a restaurant bar being built next to the pools. No gym at this point in time, but we are told that one will be built in the near future. Extensive room service menu is available between 8am – 10pm

Located within 5 minutes walk of the Marina Mall complex (over 100 retail outlets); where you can buy groceries from the Save More Supermarket, or dine in any of the dozen or so excellent restaurants. For the golf lover, the closest course: Mactan Golf Course, is only 5 minutes away. Given the location and value for money, SDR is a great place to call home for a few weeks or even months. Whilst there is still ongoing improvement work onsite, SDR’s large modern rooms, free internet, kitchen (with microwave oven, dual-burner gas stove, full-size refrigerator, toaster-oven, rice cooker, cutlery, plates, etc.), personal room safes, free airport transfers and even a internet cafe for those with no laptop, more than compensates. In our opinion, SDR represents the best value for money on Mactan Island, Cebu, and SDR will only get better as they complete this large project.

If you’re a diver or would like to snorkel and explore the vast coral underworld, SDR has excellent day tours available with their in house PADI divemasters and instructors. Tours can be tailor-made to suit your time and budget.The same applies to tours to the Bohol and other neighboring provinces.
