just got back from cebu last week...stayed at shangri-la mactan. mas nagandahan ako sa shangri-la mactan kesa sa plantation bay.

 

i went to Larsian, hindi pala kalinisan ang place na yun. ang dilim pa that afternoon nagpunta kami. nag back out tuloy ako. hindi ko na kaya yung place parang ang putik pa ng floor..eeww! sanay naman ako kumain ng mga street foods dito sa manila, pero yung sa larsian hindi ko matake sobrang untidy yung lugar.

 

sarap ng CNT lechon in SM...yun lang yung easy access to find a lechon cebu. love it!

you should have tried the other bbq places mentioned here. they are great and a lot cleaner too.

My brother and I will be attending a conference in Cebu City February next year. This early, we want to plan it so we know how much we will save. Anyway, does anyone know of a cheap (but good) hotel or pension house near SM City Cebu? All information will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

il be going to cebu next weekend. 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.

larsian in fuente or mandaue? not familiar with the apple tree suites. what does harang mean? ok na rin for that price kc bihira maghanap ng hotel na cheap.

 

2k for an entire day is expensive. di naman ganun karami mapupuntahan dito eh. ano ba itinerary mo?

 

let's see from the airport you can probably go to shangrila and/or plantation bay. and also sutukil and lapu2x shrine. those 3 places with 3 separate cabs should cost 200 max.

 

then getting a cab from there to taoist temple and letting that cab wait (yes wait kc bundok and private subd for the old rich families) for you for lets say 15-30 mins should cost no more than 300. sige tawad 350 na pinapahintay mo eh. tapos from taoist to casa gorordo should cost around 80. then casa gorordo to fort san pedro another 50. from there to your hotel kahit na mandaue pa yan should not cost more than 100. hmmm san pa ba. larsian? colon st? carbon market? junquera? pede lang naman daanan yun eh. cge dagdagan na natin another 100 for extra mileage.

 

in short for 2k you got ripped off! for that price i'll be glad to become a tourist guide for the day. LOL.

i wouldn't really say i'm an expert but then aside from plantation bay i've been to all places several times since i was a kid as part of a field trip upto this day whenever i have friends coming to cebu for the first time. i don't know how old u are but if u still have a student's id you can get inside casa gorordo for student's rate :hypocritesmiley:
