visit Cebu

TRY NYO Day's inn, but if you want 3 star hotel , i reccomend monte bello hotel in banilad/ lahug . is a bit pricey but its worth it - my two cents worth

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

[nightingale]

^ 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.

[kwax42]

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.

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.

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:

peace..

 

but i just want to say that larsian is really a place to visit for first timers and new comers in cebu...

 

it's a place were you can dine...even on a tight budget...just learn how to choose what you really want to eat..

 

since it's a haven of sinugba and puso'...

 

but if ur kinda..eewww.. well it's not a place for you...but if you want adventure and good food...larsian is the right place..

 

i believe no legitimate cebuano that has never been to larsia...

 

buy the way the people that brought me there are my doctor friends from Chong Hua and Cebu Docs..

 

again...peace... :flowers: :flowers: :flowers:

Also...if you want the best tasting lechon you may ask the place called JAI ALAI it's like the lechonan haven in manila but the lechon's are more tasty and original in taste..

 

just don't expect a lechon sauce..coz they anly offer what they call PATIS...

 

it's not the same fish sauce that we use here in manila :goatee:

 

but definitely a worthwhile experience...something ul try to find everytime u visit cebu...

the sauce we offer is what you call suka at toyo. generally patis = toyo here.

none needed.

 

ive heard larsian isnt as cheap as it used to be. is that true? the last time i visited larsian was 8 or so yrs ago. it was still dirty with no sinks. for those who don't understand it's your typical roadside bbq place with just a table or 2 for diners to sit on and eat and a jug of water for diners to wash their hands that falls directly on the ground you're standing on.

 

whereas the othe places ive mentioned are the upsgraded version.

for me AA is actually cheap enough for the added amenities. best of all i love the newly renovated place in salinas drive, most especially their ample space for parking. i also love the fact that they have more variety to choose from with clean tables and chairs, sinks to wash hands on. and not having to worry too much like someone's going to snatch my things away from me at any moment.
