The Reef Mactan Residences are located 9 kilometers from Mactan International Airport on the north east side of the island and is bordered on the south by Crimson Resort and to the north by Mactan Newtown and Shangri-La .
The development is a two tower project. The main building is 25 stories and houses the residences, the restaurant, the bakery, the spa, the bar, gym, infinity pool, and hotel lobby. The 18 story Abaca Boutique Hotel is located in the second tower just south of the residential building.
The majority of residence units are ocean facing and have a glass wall that are east facing to seamlessly blend the indoor and outdoor space. With the restaurant, bar, and hotel fully now operational, the residences have become one of my favorite places to live and as of 2023, would be my personal top choice for a personal residence in Cebu.
Property & Developer Details:
The hotel, restaurant, bakery, and bar are all managed in partnership with the Abaca group.
The developer is Land Caster Estates.
The architects and designers: Budji Layug+ Royal Pineda with input from Kenneth Cobonpue
Other Important Information:
- Condo dues are 90 pesos per sq m.
- There is a current shortage of designated parking spaces and there is currently a waitlist.
- As part of the development plan the developer plans on constructing a multistory parking garage as well as additional residential villas. It would be situated on the open lot on the west side of the building that is currently used as a parking lot
- A future rooftop bar is a part of the development plan; however we are not aware of the completion date.
- There currently is a concrete barrier that jetties out into the water in the beach area which they will be removing in the near future; however we are not aware of the completion date.
If you are in the area I recommend staying at the The Reef Island Resort Hotel to get a true feel for the development and experience the amazing sunrise views. If you are shorter on time, drop by for a meal at "The Kitchen" which is the on premise dining. My favorites are the Char Kway Teow noodles, the dumplings, and Papaya Salad. If you are shorter on time, grab a coffee and a pan au choclat at "The Bakery" which is next to the pool area, or a cocktail at the bar and lounge and enjoy a relaxing time by the ocean.
