Cebu is a very very nice place.It has a lot of convenient and luxurious hotels, friendly people, beautiful and handsome men and women. It also has white sand beaches and clear water beaches which looks more like Boracay, the Bantayan Island of Cebu,Malapascua and Plantation Bay.Moreof, there's a big history in Cebu. It is where Magellan landed first in all the islands of the Philippines.
My wife is a Cebuano. I have lived in the PI and know the entire country well. Cebu has the friendliest people, the most beautiful women, and it is clean.

as from my experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/16/08
Cebu is average for me..the beaches are not so good..and the people could sometimes be rude and make fond of people who speaks other language..there are a lot of old foreigners with a young filipina wife..Cebuana sales ladies are friendly to male tourists, but could be snobs to the female tourists(what's up w/ them?)..if you're going here, ...
Cebu is easily accessible by a 1 hour flight from Manila. The airport is modern and convenient. The taxis are a bit over-aggressive and should be negotiated for fair rates. As I see it having been there 3 times, a traveler has two choices. One can stay out in Mactan at a beach resort or in the Cebu City. Two bridges connect both locations and ...

Plantation Bay Resort and Spa in Mactan
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/17/07
I have made a reservation in this resort for my in-laws coming from Manila. The reservation officer Jovia Sitjar told me that a club room will accomodate 6 persons. But when I arrived there from the United States with my in-laws they told me another story. They will charge me 2 excess person each room where in fact I was told the room will ...

Lots of good and cheap places
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/24/07
There are many very good "tourists" beach resorts in Mactan island (Lapu-lapu city, Cebu) which are reasonably priced. Most of these beach resorts offer discount to balikbayans. There are many good restaurants in this small island located somewhere in the export processing zone area which is a few minutes ride away from the Mactan ...

an alternative to hawaii
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/17/07
If you love Hawaii then Cebu is another option. The food is great and the cost of living is much cheaper. The people are nice and most of them speaks english. The resorts and beaches are awesome. The only thing that I don't like is the traffic that can get nasty. There are places to shop and the night life is fine but its not as much as ...
