visit Cebu

[Pinoymale]

Hi!

 

Im planning to visit Cebu most probably by November... I am alone... lucky if i could bring a model w/ me...I'll be there to relax and take good shots of the places in Cebu... photography is my hobby... W/c accommodation do you guys think would be the cheapest, safest and most accessible to all the tourist destinations? Hopefully 1500/night charge is my budget... since i know that this is the only country na bawal mag picture kahit saan basta naka DSLR ka, does it also apply in Cebu or since this is a tourist destination mejo maluwag sila?

 

Hi,

 

When I'm in Cebu I usually check in at Castle Peak, about 10mins away from Ayala Mall. Their standard room is P1180. During my last visit I went to the usual tourist destinations and didn't have any problems with taking pics with my DSLR camera. Next time I'm there I'll try Golden Prince which is walking distance from Ayala Mall. Their cheapest room is around P1200. Good luck!

We are planning to go to Bantayan Island this October, can anybody recommend a resort hotel that is not that pricey but comfortable enough there? Me mga resto ba dun for people on a budget? What's the best way to go to Bantayan from Cebu City? Can we tour Cebu City in one day? Which ones to go to on that limited time before we to Tagbilaran? Would appreciate some advice!

 

tour cebu in one day. well if u just plan on visiting the city itself and the major tourist/historical places then yes you can do it in one day. no beach though unless u just want to see it.

 

hotels there are a few just read back as it was discussed already.

I've been to a club in Mango Ave. named Juliana. For me its ok but the crowd is a bit of the younger side (teens) hence the rap/hip-hop music. Is there a place here where the crowd are yuppies and more on the mature side (excluding oldies)? I also prefer clubs that play house and trance mixes. I've seen and read about Vudu but haven't tried it yet. Oh and I remember I went to club inside IT Park. Forgot the name of the place. You have to walk up a set of stairs to get to that club. But anyway, can anyone suggest? Gonna be in Cebu this october 09... thanks!

Never leave Cebu without eating in Casa Verde! Order their best seller Baby Back Ribs. For only 160+ pesos you get a 2 ENORMOUS PIECES OF BEEF RIBS with either your choice of rice or mashed potatoes. The meat is soft, tender and oh so delicious! Im a big eater and I know what is BIG from something that is claiming to be big. Trust me... after eating there, you'll laugh at how small and inferior the servings from Racks, Burgoo and the rest are...

 

Also don't leave Cebu without trying their ever famous lechon. You can even try the roadside lechon going to and fro the airport. Its not always CNT when it comes to lechon. Match it with "Puso" (according to Market Manila, 'Puso is one of those near perfect foods — a compact pre-measured and cooked portion of white rice in a natural wrapper of woven biodegradable coconut leaves.')

Its an ethereal experience!

[Guest redhotlips]

both are malayo from the city.

 

falls? u must mean kawasan falls, which is south of cebu, arnd 3-4 hrs from the city. bantayan island is in the north, arnd 2-3 hrs from the city.

Most of the good resorts in Cebu are 30-60 minutes from the city, depending on the traffic conditions.

 

But if you are still up to it and do not care about the price, Shangri-la Mactan would be nice. I'm sure you'll love it there.

If you're looking for nearer in the city, there is the Marco Polo hotel. It is not a resort but it's on the way up to the mountains,

you will see a lot of greens there...
