jlx Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 waterfront is about 3-4k a night, ok din dun....how much is eddie's hotel? i cant remember exactly but if memory serves me right its about the same price Quote Link to comment
nightingale Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 ^ if waterfront and eddie's have the same price, why not go waterfront instead? I was in Cebu a couple of weeks ago, and i stayed at the waterfront. I liked it there. Quote Link to comment
kwax42 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 yea eddie's hotel is pricey and its not in mandaue too:P hmm like ive said depending on what location in mandaue. lets just say i live in lahug. it takes about 30-40 mins to get to airport and have to pass by mandaue on the way whichever route i take. How much is eddie's? I usually stay at Castle Peak Hotel or Mango Park Hotel. room rates are around php1,100 for 1 person. Quote Link to comment

OTCHOMANN Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I used to stay at Hotel Cesario sa Lapu Lapu. Ok na cya @ 1500 per night Try it guys Quote Link to comment
pink_margarita Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 i'll be in cebu on Nov 10-12. pano pumunta ng Larsian? san pala makakain ng masarap na lechon cebu? Quote Link to comment
jlx Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 i'll be in cebu on Nov 10-12. pano pumunta ng Larsian? san pala makakain ng masarap na lechon cebu? going to larsian is easy depending where you are coming from. personally i do not suggest going to larsian. heard so many stories about the food there so even if im vaccinated against hepa my parents forbids me to eat there. might i suggest going to AA or NEO NEO. Tsibogs, Cheavers and Mattias are also ok. These places are either in A.S. Fortuna or Salinas Drive Lahug. If you really want the best lechon you should go for Mila's Lechon in Talisay. Otherwise CNT lechon is good enough which you will be able to buy in Ayala Food Court or their shack/resto across SM. It's also available inside SM grocery. Quote Link to comment
nikko76 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 hi cebu pips, i am going to cebu this october 26-28, i need help where to stay between shagri-la mactan or plantation bay? which one is more relaxing place? thanks MTC! hi..it's my first time to post on this thread.. im a full blooded manileno, my home, my family, and business is all here in manila... yet my heart was captured by a cebuana...i first went there at cebu last year.. at first it was an agonizing experience..travelling and visiting my cebuana love... but as time goes by i learned to love cebu...for that reason i have been to almost all the hotel in cebu from the non star to five star... Mactan Shang is always the best option for me...but it depends upon as whats ur itinerary and purpose of visiting cebu... but if ur appointment is in the city i wud suggest Holiday Hotel small but definitely convenient and nice rooms.. but if budget is a bit restricted you can try GV hotel near fuente and metro gaisano... if you want the best hotel in the city it's Club Ultima that you want... rate is just the same with waterfront..but very far in rooms, amenities, service and everything... hope this cud help you...enjoy ur stay...if you have question about entertainment...i cud also guide you.. :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Thanks a lot. ** you can respond to this thread or send me personal message ** Quote Link to comment

Booked my stay @ Apple Tree Suites, walking distance away from Larsian but relatively new and peaceful neighborhood according to my friends who visited the place 2 weeks ago. Not bad na rin ung place that I booked, less than 1k a day, free wifi pa sa lobby. I know hindi harang ung place coz natuwa naman friends ko. =) Plus, may guide na rin ako, cab driver sa cebu na recommended by another blogger. 2k for an entire day of touring the city.

LOL. Quote Link to comment
