Shangri-la - a 'Lost Horizon'

Advantages: a lot
Disadvantages: expensive - understandable coz it's the only 5 star hotel in Cebu

The name "Shangri-la" was given to a legendary paradise in the Himalayan mountains which promised eternal youth, peace and happiness as immortalized in the novel "Lost Horizon" by British author James Hilton. So just by the word itself, every stay promises elegance, tranquility and comfort. It is 8 kilometers away from the domestic and international airport of Mactan. It is conveniently located facing the Hilutungan Channel with the Magellan Bay ...
...kilometers away from Shangri-la, here in our little island paradise called Mactan Island. I've been here a couple of times but that was only for swimming, dining or just looking around. I have stayed here for 3 days (courtesy of a friend!). My first observation was with their maximum security. The moment we enter the main entrance, there were many security personnel inspecting our car and K-9 dogs sniffing around. A few meters after, there is another ...

Review of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino, Cebu City

Days Hotel - Not a great place to stay

Advantages: great location - close to airport and only 10 mins from beaches
Disadvantages: room has not been decorated for over 10 years, carpets smell, no pool, rooms are small

...the rooms at days hotel are old (i found out from one of the staff that the rooms have never been decorated and the hotel is 10 yrs old), carpet smelt in the room we were given, the aircond is noisy and the rooms are small. the bathroom fittings, such as the towel rail was loose. the interior is dark. think green, brown, with the scent of stale cigarettes. on a positive side, the location is excellent (read on for more information), they have a ...
...the bank. days hotel is dated. has no swimming pool and no internet in the rooms. if you want internet, you go to the business center! as with most hotels that don't renovate often, problems occur. my experience was a tap that continually dripped water and a (very) noisy aircond. complaining about the problems, simply ate up lots of time, with ultimately nothing that could be done. the servicemans comment about the aircond was "sorry sir, but this ...

Review of Days Hotel Cebu

A nice Cebu accommodation.

Advantages: Affordable, near to the airport, great view of the city, friendly hotel staff
Disadvantages: Upgrade in the gym equipments.

Staffs were all very nice and helpful. There was no pool but the water pressure is great. The "gym" was one of the rooms about half converted using old and pretty sad machines hope they update it to much latest gym technology, but they did have a few free weights. Other than that, the hotel stay was very good. It was a long (about a week stay) stay, and the room was very comfortable and pleasant and clean. And the bed was big. The jacuzzi is an added ...
