Cube Nine Spa with Roundtrip Transfer from Mactan | Cebu

Cube Nine pairs a long spa treatment with roundtrip transport, so you can trade the post-water-sports shuffle for a quiet ride and a massage. I like the choice between a two-hour foot-and-body session and longer treatments, and I like that the scrub uses coconut pulp mixed with milk and milk-salt rather than relying on a vague promise of pampering.

One point to check before booking: Mactan pickup is limited to Maribago and Punta Engaño at the Mactan rate. If you are staying elsewhere, including near the airport, Park Hill, Cebu City, Mandaue, or Cordova, the listed guidance says to use the relevant Cebu, Mandaue, or Cordova rate.

At a glance

• The standard two-hour session combines a 60-minute foot massage with a 60-minute body massage.
• The three-hour foot-and-body option adds another hour of full-body massage time.
• The coconut scrub uses fresh coconut pulp, milk, and milk-salt before a massage.
• The Imperial VIP course lasts three hours and includes a private room, sauna, jacuzzi, scrub, and full-body massage.
• Transfers have a defined service area: Mactan pickup and drop-off at the Mactan rate are limited to Maribago and Punta Engaño.
• The setting suits a recovery day: Cube9 Resort and Spa is described as a stylish hotel by the beach, a useful contrast after water sports.

A spa stop after the sea

1 / 8

Cube Nine Spa is in Lapu-Lapu at Cube9 Resort and Spa, with roundtrip transfer offered for the Mactan-to-Cebu experience. The combination is practical: you can add a treatment to a day in the area without arranging separate transport both ways. One account describes the spa as being at a stylish hotel by the beach and says the massage worked well after a day of water sports.

That is a helpful clue about the best use of this outing. Think of it as a slow finish to an active day, not a sightseeing tour with several stops. The spa is the destination, and the value lies in choosing the treatment that matches how much time and attention you want to give your tired feet and body.

The information provided does not name a massage therapist or guide, and it does not specify group size or the details of the vehicle. Your appointment is at Cube9 Resort and Spa, and the massage is scheduled to begin a few minutes after you arrive. That makes the plan simple, though it also means you should not expect a long welcome or orientation before the treatment.

Picking the right treatment length

The most straightforward choice is the 120-minute Foot Massage 60 mins + Body Massage 60 mins package. It gives you an hour focused on your feet and an hour of full-body massage. The body massage choices listed for this package are Aroma, Shiatsu, and Lotion. If you want a balanced treatment without giving up half a day, this is the sensible starting point.

The three-hour foot-and-body option keeps the same one-hour foot massage and extends the body massage to two hours. Its listed body massage styles are Herbal, Stone, and Aloe. That extra hour may suit you if the massage is the main event of the day, or if you want a longer pause after sports and sightseeing. It also asks more of your schedule, so leave room for the treatment and the ride rather than squeezing it between fixed plans.

The Body Scrub + Massage package lasts 120 minutes. The scrub is made with freshly shredded coconut pulp mixed with milk and milk-salt, applied over the body to exfoliate dead skin cells and leave skin smoother. It is the option to consider if exfoliation appeals to you as much as massage. The description does not state how the two hours are divided between scrub and massage, so do not assume a precise massage duration.

The Imperial VIP Massage is a separate three-hour course in a private room. It includes a stress-relieving sauna, jacuzzi, body scrub, and full-body massage, with the stated aim of helping settle mind and body. This is the most elaborate treatment described, but no price is supplied for it among the package options. Check the exact rate and what is included before you commit.

What the two-hour session includes

For the 120-minute foot-and-body package, the included items are a 60-minute foot massage, a 60-minute body massage, tea, a towel, disposable wear, and a free shower. You can choose Aroma oil, Shiatsu, or Lotion massage. Those practical details matter: a shower is useful after a massage, and disposable wear means you do not need to plan around changing into spa clothing of your own.

The sequence is simple in outline: arrive at the spa, begin the massage a few minutes later, and spend the booked time in treatment. There is no detailed schedule for check-in, consultation, or changing, so arrive ready to explain your massage choice and any preferences directly to the spa staff. The information does not say whether every package includes the same tea, towel, disposable wear, or shower benefits, so confirm those details if you select the scrub or VIP course.

The choice of massage style gives you a way to tailor the hour, but the descriptions do not explain the techniques in detail. If you already know you prefer oil, a firmer Shiatsu-style session, or lotion, that menu helps you choose. If you are unsure, ask the spa what each option involves before the treatment begins rather than guessing from the name.

The scrub and VIP options

The coconut scrub is the most distinctive treatment detail. Freshly shredded coconut pulp is combined with milk and milk-salt, then used as a gentle full-body exfoliant. That is more specific than a generic scrub label, and it gives you a clear idea of the treatment’s focus: smoothing the skin before or alongside a massage.

The description says the scrub removes dead skin cells and leaves skin smoother. It does not specify the order or exact split between scrub and massage, nor does it identify any additional ingredients or aftercare. If you have a preference about how the treatment is timed, ask when you arrive. That is especially useful if you are booking the scrub because the exfoliation itself is your priority.

The Imperial VIP package adds facilities and privacy to the treatment plan. A private room, sauna, jacuzzi, scrub, and full-body massage make it a longer, more self-contained spa visit than the foot-and-body options. It may suit you when you want the spa to be the main plan for the day, rather than a short reset between other activities.

Do not read VIP as a guarantee of features beyond those named. The details do not state the length of time allotted to the sauna or jacuzzi, or how the three hours are divided. The listed priced options are the foot-and-body packages and the scrub with massage; the VIP price is not provided here.

How the transfer changes the day

Roundtrip transport is a real part of the appeal, especially after a day in the water when you may not want to coordinate two separate rides. Pickup and drop-off are at the same location. For stays in Mactan, the Mactan pickup and drop-off area is limited to Maribago and Punta Engaño. The stated guidance assigns other areas, including the airport area and Park Hill, to Cebu rates, and says to apply Cebu, Mandaue, or Cordova rates as appropriate.

Check your hotel’s exact location against that boundary before booking. The experience title mentions Mactan transfer, but that does not mean every address on Mactan is covered at the same rate. The transfer details are the clearest thing to verify if you are staying outside the two named areas, since the right fare may depend on where you are based.

You are asked to arrive at the meet-up location 10 minutes before the scheduled activity time. The voucher is valid only for the specified date and, where relevant, time. Listed opening hours are Monday and Sunday, 11:00 to 22:00. Because those are the only days supplied, check that your chosen date and appointment time are available before making other plans around it.

What the price buys

The page-level starting price is given as US$53.49, while the individual package prices start at US$48.65 for the two-hour foot-and-body treatment, US$71.09 for the three-hour foot-and-body option, and US$67.35 for the scrub with massage. Those figures do not line up exactly, which may reflect different starting prices or package details. Treat them as starting figures, confirm the final amount for your date and selected treatment, and check the applicable transfer rate.

For value, compare the whole outing rather than massage time alone. The standard session gives you two hours of treatment, tea, a towel, disposable wear, and a shower, with a roundtrip transfer offered for the covered pickup areas. If you would otherwise pay for transport in both directions, the transfer can make the package more convenient. The supplied prices do not break out the ride and spa costs separately, so you cannot calculate the transfer’s exact share.

The longer foot-and-body package costs more but adds an hour of body massage. That is a clear trade: more treatment time for a higher starting price. The scrub package costs more than the listed base two-hour option, but it adds a distinct exfoliating treatment. Whether that is worthwhile depends on whether you want a scrub, not simply a longer massage.

Tips and other personal expenses are not included. No tip amount is specified, so you can decide based on your own preference and the service you receive. Keep a little flexibility in your budget for anything outside the package, and confirm precisely what your selected treatment includes.

Who will get the most from it

I would look at Cube Nine if you are staying in one of the covered pickup areas and want a straightforward way to recover after water sports. The available account specifically describes using the treatment after a day of water activities, and that pairing makes sense: you have a clear reason to book a longer massage, while the transfer removes some of the friction of getting to and from the spa.

The two-hour package is likely the best fit if you want a foot treatment and a full-body massage without making the spa your entire day. Choose three hours if a longer body massage is worth the extra time and price to you. The scrub is a good match if smoother skin and exfoliation are part of the appeal; VIP is for someone who wants the named sauna, jacuzzi, scrub, and private-room format together.

This is less compelling if your accommodation falls outside the covered Mactan areas and the transfer rate becomes a complication, or if you need a tightly timed appointment with details confirmed in advance. The treatment starts a few minutes after arrival, but there is no published breakdown of check-in or treatment stages. Build in enough time around the appointment, and confirm the pickup address, package contents, and price before you lock in the day.

The experience has a 5-out-of-5 score, but it is based on just one published rating. I would treat that as an encouraging sign, not a broad guarantee of consistency. The strongest practical reasons to book are the range of treatment lengths, the specific coconut scrub, and the covered-area transfer, rather than a claim that every visit will be the same.

Should you book Cube Nine Spa?

Book it if you want a substantial massage in Lapu-Lapu and your Mactan accommodation is in Maribago or Punta Engaño. The two-hour foot-and-body session is the clearest value choice for a balanced treatment; the three-hour option suits you if extra massage time matters more than keeping the day short.

Before paying, confirm the price for your package, the pickup rate for your exact address, and whether the listed inclusions apply to your chosen treatment. If those details line up, Cube Nine offers a practical way to turn a day around Mactan into a more restful one. If transport coverage or timing is uncertain, sort that out first rather than assuming the Mactan rate covers every neighborhood.
