    I followed your earlier recommendation and stayed at the Quest Hotel. It was great. They are so damn polite and welcoming over there. When they greet you they bow to you and put there hand over their heart. You are also in walking distance to the great Ayala Mall which is home to The Social which is a great restaurant especially for you single guys.

    Very good advice thank you. I must ask if it has western-style soft bed rather than the hard foam Vinyl cover. Surprising how many expensive places have those crap mattresses. How far to Ayala Center? I'm guessing nearly an hour with traffic, but it's been awhile🙏🙏

    Personally, I think you can better with "Airbnb's" for the money in my opinion in Cebu.
    I recommend IT park area or the business park area. Location, location folks. In either of the places I mentioned, walk to the mall in under 5 minutes as well as a myriad of restaurants and markets.

    • @GiointhePhilippines
      @GiointhePhilippines  Рік тому +4

      For the first few days I still recommend a hotel and check out the Airbnb before renting it long term.

    Wow - looks very comfortable there at the Belmont. I was just down the street at 8 Newtown Blvd for most of May and walked by Belmont many times but never ventured in.
    I see Mactan Newtown as a great permanent base but would probably go for the Quest near Ayala Mall as a more active intro to Philippines life. Pricing very similar around 2,500 pesos (excl breakfast) and both Hop Inn and Red Planet are more budget-friendly options near Ayala. I sampled all of these Ayala options on recent trip and they all work well depending on budget.

    This is exactly what I needed to know at this time. Thank you Gio!! I am flying into Cebu on Oct. 2nd and was wondering where to stay until I get my bearings. I couldn't care less about pools and gyms. I just want a well located hotel. I don't trust Airbnb anymore. Had too many bad experiences. Was the snow park indoors? I thought the only place it snows there is in Baguio. Maybe never there.

    I don't get it! This is an entertainment hotel. Way to much money when looking for a place to live.

    Thank you for the recommendation, Gio, I went to Cebu on a Missions trip back in 2013-14 and I believe we stayed at Parkland, which I believe was across the street from the Ayala Mall. I will remember this place and most likely stay then when I am in the Philippines at the end of this year.

    Glad you clarified having the margarita a little later. Even this ex-sailor knows the sun isn't even over the yard-arm yet. Hope you post a video about Maya and Nora experiencing the cold for the first time. I lived in the U.P. of Michigan for a few years, near Ste Sault Marie. Sometime the temperature was -30 degrees or more. You would step out side and think your lungs would freeze in place. That hotel looked great and the restaurant looked spotless. Take care.

    Hey Gio, great video! I am getting ready to move to Cebu from Thailand, and I’ve got my initial sights set on Cebu IT park. Or possibly business Park. Been watching vids for years, but it’s hard to get an idea of how far everything is apart. Would you say this hotel is a good place to stay maybe a week while trying to find something longer term in the above mentioned areas? Do you have a preference between IT and business parks? I “think” they are relatively close together? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Cebu is the city I am leaning towards visiting. I was really unhappy living in the Manila area. Cebu seems like it would have enough people that the dating scene would be good and have the beaches nearby, since I love swimming and going for long walks. I heard Davao has beautiful women from the Mindanao area, but it looks boring without any beaches nearby.

    Based on 20 years experience and as recent as 3 weeks ago, Cebu City is a dump with Mandaue just as bad, rusty warehouses, rusty steel cable, and some trucks drain crankcase oil directly on the ground, the traffic is unbearable. There are some good hotel experiences around Fuente circle but the street kids harassing foreigners on Gen Maxilon st make for an unpleasant experience. The only thing I want to do is get through as quickly as possible to Dumaguete, Siquior, or Leyete
