Cebu Hotels

Does anyone have suggestions for Lapu Lapu / Airport hotels?

Thanks for the informative post. I'm looking too for a L2 hotel in February 17. I'm arriving late one night to catch a flight out the following morning. I'm OK with Cebu City hotels for the late night arrival but not so keen for the taxi ride back the following day. I was thinking to leave it to the girl to find a place.

For discussion looking on Skyscanner around Mactan shows the following options (prices are approx).

Park Hill Hotel P1000.

Lancaster Hotel P2000.

Hotel Cesario P1000.

The Bella Vista P2400.

A few months ago I wrote a FR summarising my experience of Mactan resort hotels. This FR specifically is focused on Lapu Lapu city hotels. I have accumulated quite a few contacts in Mactan and I usually like to stay one night in Lapu Lapu on arrival to Cebu and one night on departure. In the past I usually could get The Waterfront Airport hotel for around 3600 pesos per night. In the last few months (maybe even last 6 months) I have found that Lapu Lapu hotels are heavily booked and most often the Waterfront Airport hotel is booked out or is now expensive at 5-6 K per night. Not sure if that is seasonal or an indication that the Koreans tourists are increasing or Cebu is benefiting from the new flights flying direct into Cebu. The vast majority of people I see in the foyers of Lapu Lapu hotels are Koreans. I have tried Goldberry suites. The foyer of this hotel looks very basic but the rooms are renovated and quite good for the price of around 2500-3000 pesos. Quite often this is also booked out or the one bed suite room at 5000 pesos is only available (which is a nice room but expensive). Crown Regency Suites is a run down old hotel where for 4000 pesos you get a studio with kitchen. Usually they are always available and is my last choice. In general Lapu Lapu hotels are not as good value as Cebu City hotels. Does anyone have suggestions for Lapu Lapu / Airport hotels?

The trick is to walk east on the same street as Lone Star. It veers north, takes you past the Richmond Hotel, and you end up on Gorordo just a few hundred meters south of Elizabeth Hotel. I guess most of you already know this route since the taxis often take this route from Ayala heading back toward red light area or F. Osmena.

Lone Star to Ayala is only about 2 km. Yes, it can be hot, and crossing some of the bigger streets can be a pain in the arse.

If you don't sweat to much or get dehydrated you would likely die of lead poisoning from all the fumes, or be run over by some errant motorbike.

Madness to walk that far any time of the year in Cebu. For some walking from the Quest across the road to Ayala makes them sweat profusely at the wrong time of year LOL.

Nice information, I did not know Caste peak was girl friendly.

Next time I will definitely stay there.

I stayed at Crown Regency Fuente Osmena a couple of years back, loads of Korean tourists, but I could not score because I was bit apprehensive.

Concierge guy helps you to score.

Stayed here several nights. I can recommend for decent, reliable WiFi and a decent buffet. 60 pesos from mall Ayala via taxi or Uber. Very nice relaxing pool (not for swimming) with a pleasant view on the 9th floor. Bar with nice view on the 10th floor. Had four girls in and out for various duration, and staff never blinked. If anybody can get in the pants of housekeeping girl on the fifth floor Lleuvy, you the man. Staff was overall helpful and friendly, from front desk to guard guys.

Would you really walk from Fuente Osmena to Ayala? I admit that in the worst traffic it may actually be faster to walk, but in most weather at most times of day a guy would probably be soaked through with sweat walking that distance. I know I would.

When there's traffic, walking to Ayala is much faster than taxi or jeepney. Take a shortcut thru the small park where the youths hang out and enter thru Metro Supermarket side entrance (near supermarket taxi stand).

Excellent hotel next to Ayala Mall. Paid 14000 for 5 nights for deluxe room with breakfast for two. Services are good, never had any problems with multiple visitors. Do not know if the security holds their I. The, did not ask. The girls came to the room directly..

How was the WiFi in the Mandarin? Have had mixed reviews on the speed and reliability.

I have stayed there a few times) when I needed a quiet bolt hole away from others eyes. Is on of bolt holes) and the WiFi was not as good as say Quest or as reliable).

Have fun in Manila.

They do not check the rooms to see who is in your room after 10 pm.

Nope, for sure no 10 pm room check. All in all this is a very tight run ship, with generally well trained and discrete staff. Good value for Cebu.

It says like that in the welcome letter I received on check in. But not enforced. Breakfast is only for two people. I used to take girls for breakfast but unless only one multiple girls I tell them to leave. Philippine girls hardly ever eat their fill at one sitting. For me if I have a good breakfast next meal will be evening dinner. I guess it is because girls just eat some rice only and they are hungry again in two hours. Yes, the girls if they look ok can walk straight to the elevator and get to the room. My girls are in by 6 pm. I guess if you bring in a girl after 10 pm the security registers them and hold their I. The. They do not check the rooms to see who is in your room after 10 pm.

Word of warning regarding this hotel. As per their "rules" the reserve the right to charge PHP 2000 (if memory serves) for "unregistered guests" still in your toom after 10 pm or so. I had some issues with the front desk not wanting to issue extra breakfast coupon unless guest is registered. Bringing girls in is not a prob per se, just go straight to the elevators.

There was a fat guy that often rode the same elevator as me, always with a new girl, so I guess anything goes.

If you want to shop at the Ayala or SM mall, the taxi ride is not expensive, but the traffic is very heavy at the peak hours of 4-7 pm. Would recommend it to newbies. But, of course, to each his own.

Yesterday I had two girls, both college students. They wanted 1500 each. They were excellent service providers so I paid 4000 for both. They said they are studying some where (who cares).

This visit to Cebu is excellent. Some other girls I could have got but old body cannot handle too much sex. Off to Manila today. Once again have lined up two new girls. One stay two hours away from Manila and I doubt if she is coming spending her own money. I rarely send money for transportation. Other one has a job and cannot take off work. In other words have to leave early. If things change can fall back on two excellent girls I know who will definitely provide good service.

Will write a report.

When I went to Cebu 2 x a year, I stayed there regularly. It is quite a distance from the airport, but the location is perfect. Everyone knows the Robinson's location. Once you know your way around, it is great because you can enter the hotel from the mall, without going outside. Nobody knows if you are staying at the hotel or not. You can access the mall, or the grocery store located in the basement without going outside. The money exchange located on the 3rd floor gives good rates, and because you are within the Robinson's mall, of course, there are plenty of chances to talk to women.

At night you can walk to a lot of the bars. If you want to shop at the Ayala or SM mall, the taxi ride is not expensive, but the traffic is very heavy at the peak hours of 4-7 pm. Would recommend it to newbies. But, of course, to each his own.

This is the third time I've stayed here and I found it to be, once again, comfortable, clean and reasonably efficient. The rooms are large and attractive, though the furnishings are fairly cheap and the "free" Internet fairly slow. The staff offer no hassles at all in coming and going from the room. The pool is large, well exposed to the sun, and though I'm not a great pool lover, many of the guests seem to enjoy it.

I reserved through Booking.com and got a price of about Php5,000 per night plus VAT and local taxes, so the two nights cost about Php13,000, which I thought was fairly reasonable for a hotel of this level.
