There’s something special about waking up in a beautiful resort, knowing a good breakfast is waiting just downstairs. During our stay at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, mornings were slow, easy, and centered around the breakfast buffet at 5 Cien, and it quickly became one of the highlights of our stay.
A Thoughtful and Well-Balanced Spread
The buffet offered a good variety of dishes, covering everything from classic Western staples to comforting Asian selections. Eggs were made to order at the live station, and there was a noodle bar for those who preferred a savory, hearty start.
I appreciated the balance, there was just the right amount of options without feeling overwhelming. Fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, rice meals, and even a few international touches were available. And yes, the bacon was crispy.
One thing that stood out was the inclusion of local favorites like puto maya and sikwate. I love seeing touches of local culture in hotel dining as it gives guests a real sense of place and makes the meal more memorable.
A Beautiful Setting to Match the Food
5 Cien is spacious, bright, and well laid out. Floor-to-ceiling windows open up to garden and sea views, so you’re never far from nature even when dining indoors.
Inside felt cool and calm, while the outdoor area offered a gentle breeze and the sound of waves in the distance, a peaceful way to ease into the day.
Service that Completes the Experience
The service at breakfast was just as consistent as the rest of our stay. Staff were quick to clear plates, refill drinks, and assist with anything we needed.
It’s the kind of quiet attentiveness that doesn’t interrupt your meal, but makes sure everything runs smoothly.
A Good Start Makes All the Difference
A good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day, and Sheraton Cebu Mactan clearly understands that. With a balanced buffet, a relaxed setting, and thoughtful service, mornings here felt unhurried and enjoyable.
If you’re staying at the resort, don’t miss the chance to take your time at breakfast.
