I booked a de luxe room with two standard beds though I would have preferred a twin bed but that's not really a problem. The staff are courteous and polite and the room, super clean. The beds are sift and the A/C cool. The TV was quite small though. The room came with a small study desk and a window giving you a view of what's outside which isn't much. Overall, would recommend it to those wanting or planning to visit Cebu.

So I booked it non refundable then she said no early check in would be 6 am so if I want the room now it's full price. I said what? You just told me half the cost. Sorry sir it's full price was her response. I canceled it anyway lost half my money on the 16 dollars for insurance and booked somewhere else. Paid a total of about 3000 peso additional just so I wouldn't give that hotel any more of my money. I was intended to stay a total of about 7 to 14 days depending on father in laws hospital stay so this hotel lost lots of money due to the fact that I was deceived and flat out lied to about the early check in fees. All for 3 hours of difference. Like the hotel is going to book out solid at 3 am to 6 am???? What a joke. This is going on every platform I can find so trust you will lose many more potential clients when the read that your business practices are deceiving. Oh also she cancelled the reservation on her end before I could as a no show so I lost 100 percentage the money. It's ok. My credit card company will pay it back. Good day.

This was my port of arrival after my ferry trip from Bohol to Cebu. Cebu Port Authority Terminal 2…read more There are plenty of ferry porters waiting to assist. I was a bit surprised (and slightly caught off guard) when one of them started helping me with my luggage. He literally took my luggage and began wheeling them toward the gate, which startled me since I wasn't sure what was happening. He kept asking if I needed a taxi but thankfully I was able to kindly respond that I had already had a ride. Overall, this a pretty busy terminal, so stay vigilant and be mindful of your luggage and surroundings.

That said, this tourist spot of Cebu Taoist Temple is located here in this beautiful Beverly Hills of Cebu. The drive through the subdivision was an experience in itself, but finally getting to this spot was the ultimate treat. The main entrance is guarded by a couple of dragons, and you can't help but notice another gigantic one as you walk through the driveway. Immediately, you know and feel this is a place you can go to if you're searching for some kind of inner peace and serenity. Silence is observed here - so one must be mindful to quiet down phones and voices. And you will be corrected by staff - there were a bunch of GenZ'ers who couldn't help themselves, I guess, posing for pictures and such while making too much noise, and boy, were they put in their place. They were mindful of themselves after that. It boasts beautiful structures as well as views. There are plenty of artwork and artifacts to see. There is a chapel where you can light incense for offering (or wishes, maybe, if that's your thing) however, women are not allowed to come in wearing shorts. Everywhere else is free for all. There is also a souvenir store available, and most of their items are reasonably priced. And ultimately, plenty of photo op spots! We enjoyed the stop. Would recommend it to first time Cebu visitors!

"Beverly Hills Cebu City" [CEBU CITY Philippines]…read more While my siblings went to Oslob (coastal town in Cebu) to swim with the whale sharks Mom and I opted to try to finish off the itinerary the hotel concierge provided us so here we are, a less strenuous activity for Mom LoL! Our driver dropped us off at the front gate on top of a hill and we preceded to enter the premises. The temple is located in a private subdivision and only private cars, taxis, or a motorcycle for hire are allowed. These are called "habal-habal". There were two security guards watching the front. Face masks were required to be able to tour the temple. FREE! No admission fee. The gardens were well maintained and the grounds were kempt. There were more workers and groundskeepers than tourists at the time of our visit. Entrance to the temple is a replica of the Great Wall of China. The temple was built in 1972 in Cebu's Chinese community. The temple is actually TWO temples... one was off limits to the public. The other temple is open to worshippers (and non-worshippers too). Inside has a chapel, library, souvenir shop, and a wishing well. The spacious balcony has a nice scenic view of the city below. There are a lot of steps here so I'm not sure if it is wheelchair friendly. We descended more stairs and exited below where there are parking spaces for visitors. The private subdivision is called the "Beverly Hills Subdivision." Nice place to see but one-time visit for me. Review #3343

I took two tours from Cebu Tours, The mountain tour and the Island hopping tour…read more On the mountain tour, I saw the Temple of Leah and two different gardens, and also the Top of Cebu, and there were plantly of photo ops at all of the locations. We skipped lunch at the 'House of Lechun' because the Yelp reviews all had low stars. The negative was that we don't get a tour guide like some other tours to provide to you as an option. The Island hopping tour doesn't compare to the ones I took at El Nido or Boracay. The tour guy didn't speak English and my girlfriend had to do all the interpretations and information on where we were at and suppose to do, There were fewer islands and sandbars to see, the fish and coral were less colorful, and the food was not as good and was cooked hours before you ate it. The transportation was a plus since they pick you up and drop you back at your hotel on Mactan Island or in Cebu City.

If you have a vehicle the hotel has parking. Booked a room last minute while in the lobby via priceline app. It took several minutes for my reservation to hit the hotel, but the front desk staff were very accomodating. Once check in was complete we headed over to the elevator as we were given a room on the 6th floor. Elevator: Tiny. I mean if your claustrophobic you'd definitely feel uneasy. Once we finally arrived on our floor we headed down the hall to room 620. Room: Average for a hotel. I like the eco semi modern look. I believe we were given a queen size bed for our room. Room also had a small balcony overlooking a parking lot below. Included with the room were various amenities such as a mini fridge, coffee maker, tea/coffee, water bottles, and a small closet. Bed was comfortable but the window type a/c unit was loud at times. At night you can hear various car alarms going off. Other guests were literally screaming up and down the halls and you can hear them with some clarity. Free wifi in room. Bathroom: Ok I thought I've experienced a tiny restroom but the word tiny does not do it justice when it came to the shower. I mean literally you turn to the side your body hits either the shower curtain or the shampoo holder on the wall. Tiny, tiny and tiny!! However, despite the size, the shower pressure was good and the hot water was a good temperature. (when I first entered I checked how hot the water was and found out it didn't get hot at all. I called down to the front desk and had them send maintenance. Upon arriving he flipped a switch inside the room's panel board and replaced our shower head. All was well after.)  Toilet flushed well and sink also had good water pressure. Overall: For the price I paid, the hotel is absolutely of great value. You have access to a mall whether by car or by foot, and you have a variety of restaurants right outside the lobby and across the street to choose from. Hotel staff was very welcoming and quick with any requests I had. The only downfall I'd say is if you have no vehicle and your either coming from the airport or the pier this hotel can be a ways out. I'm not sure if they offer shuttle service. If you wanna travel local style there are many jeepneys in the area. Taxi is also available. Other than the location away from the airport and Mega Malls like Ayala and SM, I'd stay here again!

However, overall, it is okay for its price. I like the fact that it provides 2 bottles of 500ml of water. Others can only provide 2 bottles of 350ml of water. There is a nearby cafe that offers good food and a low-end mall on the other side. It sits well near St. Therese church, in case you're a Roman Catholic who wants to hear masses.
