Before summer vacation ends, I want to share the hotels and resorts that we have tried in Cebu. So if you are planning to go to Cebu or you live in Cebu and looking for a quick getaway, you can choose from the following.
1. Fuente Oro Business Suites
If you are looking for a budget hotel then reserve a room in Fuente Oro Business Suites. We’ve stayed here in 2011, the room was very basic but it is ok for us. If you are a budget traveler and looking for cheap accommodation, this hotel is for you. The price is budget friendly and it includes free breakfast for two people already. What I like about this hotel is the location, it is very accessible and we can ride a jeep just outside the hotel.
2. Cebu City Marriott Hotel now Seda Hotel
Cebu This is a luxury hotel in Cebu city that is just beside Ayala Center Cebu. You can save money because you can just walk to the mall if you want to eat or buy snacks and drinks at the supermarket. During our stay, my son enjoyed his time in their pool. The room is big that fits two double beds and the bathroom has a bathtub too. Complimentary water and toiletries are replenished every day.

3. Cebu Parklane International Hotel
This hotel is also near Ayala Center Cebu but it would be a long walk. The hotel has different restaurants but if you want to save money, don't worry because there are restaurants near the hotel. The price of the hotel is very reasonable and it offers a free buffet breakfast at Manuel’s restaurant. It has a pool too that we haven’t tried. The room is not that big but the bathroom has a bathtub.

4. Crimson Mactan Resort and Spa
If you don’t want to go to Bantayan Island or Sumilon Island but you wanted to experience the beach and pool then go to Mactan. There are so many luxury hotels and resorts there including Crimson Mactan Resort and Spa. We had a great time in this resort especially in their CrimZone because my son enjoyed the different activities like figurine painting, bracelet making, face painting, and Amazing Kid’s Race.

Restaurant in Crimson Mactan Resort and Spa
5. Shangri-la Mactan Resort and Spa
This is another luxury resort in Mactan that we have visited but only for a day trip. They have a pool, beach, play area, sauna, and gym. Overall, we were satisfied with the service, facilities, and amenities, If we have an extra budget I will consider this for an overnight stay.

6. Seda Ayala Center Cebu
Seda Ayala Center Cebu is one of the newest hotels in Cebu. Well, it is not really new because they just renovated the old Cebu City Marriott Hotel. And because of the renovation, there are a few changes in the facade, room, and bathroom design. The location is still good because it is near shopping mall and very accessible for commuters.

7. Sheraton Mactan Resort
Sheraton Mactan is the first Marriott International Resort in the Philippines. This is the third resort that we tried in Mactan Cebu. The resort is not that big but it offers a beach, pool, spa, fitness center, spa, play area, restaurant, cafe, and bar.

I'm from Cebu but I've never been to this hotel my entire life. Though I'm looking forward to stay even a night in this hotel. Only if funds are available. hehe :D
ReplyDeleteMaybe because you live in Cebu so you prefer to explore other places. You can do staycation, it is a fun experience. :)
DeleteThank you for sharing, sis. I would love to visit Cebu City in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't been to Cebu but this is a good list. At least I got an idea on where to stay. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteShangri-la Mactan... We almost got to stay here, but I think my dad got a bit too overwhelmed with the price hahahaha! So we opted to stay in another hotel that's nearer to where my sister was training for the Mathematics Trainer's Guild... It's been around 8 years since that time we went to Cebu, and if ever I get the chance to come back here I would definitely try out Fuente Oro.. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel your dad, pricey talaga kaya day trip lang kami. hehehe! Fuente Oro is budget friendly.
DeleteShangri-La Mactan, the best! I think Fuente Oro has a nice location also.
ReplyDeleteMy husband worked in Shangri-La Cebu before and all he would tell me is that the place is amazing and he's hoping he could take me there in the future as well. :)
ReplyDeleteOh sayang, baka may discount pag employee, baka may friends pa siya dun na mag-extend ng discount. hehehe!
DeleteWe went to Cebu in 2012, and we stayed at Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort & Spa. We had a lot of fun there. Hope w can visit any of the places in your list when we revisit Cebu.
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give for a staycation right now! I'm planning to go back to Cebu soon so thank you so much for the recommendations.
ReplyDeleteI think I've read your review of Crimson hotel, if I"m not mistaken. Siguro kami pag Cebu, transient na lang kami para matipid, hehe.
ReplyDeleteThis is really a nice list of hotels in Cebu. I am planning to have a surprise vacation with my husband in Cebu for our wedding anniv. I will definitely consider one of this hotels.
ReplyDeleteCebu is one of the places I enjoy to visit again and again. Aside from amiable people, I love their Sutokil. And yes, Marriot, Parklane, and Shangri-la are some of my preferred temporary house for that stay.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo not yet ready for school opening too! Waaa! I've stayed in Marriott once for a business trip. I've also visited shang but just to look around. It's been a long time since I've last visited Cebu.
ReplyDeleteHaven't stayed on the places you mentioned above but have been to Cebu thrice already. I'm more of a B&B person before kasi always on the go naman but for staycations the places you mentioned are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the choices! We're hoping to visit Cebu soon and these look like excellent places to stay.
ReplyDeleteI love Shang Mactan! It's great for family! Last time we went there, my son was just a few months old so he didn't really get to consciously appreciate what the property has to offer. So we'll bring him again soon!
ReplyDeleteMy son was not able to play in their play area when we there too so we have reason to go back if budget permits.
DeleteI haven't tried any hotels when we visited cebu several yrs ago. We are in group, so they look for something more affordable like rooms. But these are a great list for some who have an extra budget.
ReplyDeleteCebu Marriott looks good!
ReplyDeleteI want to try the crimson sis, we have a corp rate here in Alabang hope they can give us discount also in Cebu
