Stayed at Waterfront Airport Hotel & Casino Mactan - Cebu, Philippines.

Actually, Waterfront Cebu is farther than Water Front Airport from the airport and beach. But taking total services into consideration, Waterfront Cebu is much better than the one at the airport.

We used a friend's car to see the city because of the distance of the resort. If going shopping then SM City is to be recommended since it is all indoor and quite a variety of shops to choose from.

I was there to work, so I did not get to socialise much. I was, however, regularly offered prostitures, and drugs as I walked around the streets near the hotel. That was not very pleasant.

Located near Cebu City on Lapu-Lapu. Visited nearby guitar factories. Got around mostly by taxi, make sure you get metered service or meter plus small fixed amount, not a fixed fare. Make sure you have local currency, and make sure you have lots of small bills and coins, since drivers rarely have sufficient change.
Plan your trips to Cebu City, if you go, it is a long drive, maybe 30 minutes. There's nice sightseeing in Cebu City, especially go see the Taoist Temple. Treat yourself to a manicure at ShoeMart mall, an inexpensive indulgence on the island.

Cebu is a very nice place. Went around town, especially enjoyed the Taoist temple. Very much wanted to take a day trip to Carcar, Kawasan Falls, and MoalBoal, but it will have to wait until next time!

The hotel is located about 1½ hours from Cebu City. Two hours in heavy traffic. The drive takes you along the coast through several villages. I always like to see what I can along the way. On a Friday we decided to rent a car and go into Cebu City. Very crowded! It seems that everyone goes to church and prays. Such devotion! We visited the Basilica and convent of Santo Niño. A beautiful ornate altar and lots of faithful is a sight to behold, but a bit difficult to walk about. It's best to know a bit of history to understand why the small statue is so significant. It's amazing that this 3rd, 1735-1737, incarnation of the structure still stands.
Magellan’s Cross, locate in a small chapel outside the ground is also worth a peek. The ceiling is decorated with a murals depicting Magellan’s arrival to these islands, conversion of the natives and the celebration of the first mass. We then went to Fort San Pedro, a small triangular fort with a pretty little garden managed by the National Museum. For those in need, they have clean toilet facilities here. We found a wonderful little strip mall, Crossroads Mall, on Banilad Road with some good restaurants and a cute little café.
