Cebu Hotels

[Pagal Chacha]

Folks,

I have no idea where to stay after the earth quake! I am searching for one and my Budget is max 75 Singapore $. I can't afford Marriot if I go alone rather I should minus 2 nights from Cebu and stay in Angeles (But anyway my outward flight from Cebu to Singapore). I stayed near fuente osmena circle / Mango Ave Bars last time, and would like to stay somewhere around this time also.

Thanks / G

Try Appletree suites convinent fot feunte osemena, good value for money, basic and clean with in room safes

Gajith,

Try Elizabeth hotel as SGD75 = PHP2600 or roughly in my book. Nice place I always stay there. Or try Golden Prince across the road, Quest of Mandarin Plaza. Preference is alwas the Elizabeth. All within the budget you note.

Check your PMs also.

Sure I was there, during the earthquake. Swayed and shook, but nothing fell down. Lots of cracks on exterior walls. Rooms are larger than at Quest. Floors are tile and tile in the hall also, and with hollow-core doors it can be a little noisy, esp when some drunk skanks come in late. There is Star movies on the tv, and CNN news. No sports. Easy walk to Ayala mall. Cross under the overpass and its much safer. Enter Ayala mall near Starbucks. Or cross the busy street and meet your girl at the PUV terminal. Free breakfast, no big deal.

It's 2800p for the king bed rooms. Thats it, no ++ I suggest book direct, or walk in, and screw the online services that charge hotels for listings.

Thanks Jambo,

I was at Elizabeth the same time and while it shook and shaked as you would expect, no cracks so a solid build. Room rates similar if you go direct (cheaper actually and net net).

Check your PMs.

Saw your ad, try Maxwell hotel, good cheap place to stay and Escario st ok.

Anybody stay at the new Mandarin Plaza hotel yet?

I will finally be on my way back to paradise.

But I need to make hotel bookings in Cebu.

Can anybody give me a damage report on the following hotels:

Parklane.

Elizabeth.

Montebello.

Waterfront Cebu (not airport)

Thanks in anticipation,

Gangles

Gangles. Check the emails re the above, but the Elizabeth was fine very strong same as Marriott. Never been keen on Parklane since the Elizabeth opened but some will disagree.

anybody stay at the new mandarin plaza hotel yet? i liked quest when i stayed there, but it's hard to beat the prices at the mandarin, about $50 for a deluxe room on agoda well into next year. the location is perfect and the rooms look nicer than those at the quest (but pics can be deceiving). if no one has stayed there yet, i may just have to take one for the team next time i visit. wr, i saw your post from your july walk through, just trying to see if anyone has actually stayed there since the official opening and if the kinks you mentioned have been worked out. oops, in your case i should probably rephrase "kinks" to "issues" to avoid confusion. ;)

that place has been 'under construction' for years. almost a decade it seems.

i heard through the bamboo grapevine the place was built one bag of cement at a time and to sub-standard specs. even the support columns are supposed to be made from bagged cement. i have never seen a cement truck there, ever.

i have never stayed there and probably never will. to save a few php the risk to my health is not worth it.

if you do take one for the team and stay there, post a review. i'm sure it would help someone out since mp has yet to be reviewed.

Newbs should take note that some of the sub-1000php / night rooms listed are NOT GF. They might Be ok if you check-in with the same filipina and stick with her for your entire stay. YMMV.

Much better to book a mid-level hotel where you blend in if you have plans to bring a different filipina to your room every day.

Interesting link though.

Did you get to Cebu as we are waiting some FRs as maybe you are in Manila given a recent FR asking for prices there? We like newbies and we like them more when they contribute.

Be nice to hear what a newbie think of Cebu, the bars, the pricing and bar fines.

Thanks for the kind words sir. I am just back from my trip to the philli and have just written a short report on the disappointing night I had in mango vikings and then in J Ave. But my trip to Cebu went really well as I had lined up a few girls from the internet to meet when in Cebu. So after my first disappointing night in Cebu. I met up with a mixed Japanese-Fillipino beauty and had such a good time with her that ended up spending my next 4 days in Cebu with her. Stayed at the Parklane Cebu which was pretty decent save for the midget sized toilets.

Planning to hit Cebu and Manila again in November and hoping to have better luck with the bars this time.

WR, I think I should apologize for our meet up at R Lips in August. I was absolutely wiped out. But thanks for introducing me to your friends. And it was really sad to hear about Ms."missing in action". I hope she resurfaces. I really liked her. In a platonic way, of course. LOL.

No worries given that you were somewhat busy the few days prior.

As for Ms MIA she has surfaced but very slowly trying to coax her out of her shell which seems to be very firmly held on her by the family. Little steps as some stay.

Platonic and Ms MIA are not words that I would associate in the same sentence for you (or me or that matter LOL). Nice girl, clever. Intelligent and kinky all in one. A yummy combination.
