We are staying at Marriot

October 24, 2006

Having already booked and paid for a one night stay at Plantation Bay for our first night in Cebu in December, I found the US$130 quite expensive and I am now thinking of booking a room at Marriot  for our second night in Cebu .

Since we really plan to go around Cebu City , I think staying at Marriot which is just a few metres away from Ayala Center Cebu would be a good choice for a hotel on our second and last night in this city.

The last time I was in Cebu back in 2001-2002, I recall that the Ayala Center in Cebu was just a vast expanse of cogon land which was near my lodging place somewhere in Mango Avenue. I particularly remember eating my dinner at a newly opened Fastfood centre in Mango Avenue near a church. I also know that after I get out from my hotel and board a taxi or jeep, downtown Cebu (Fuente Osmena) was less than 10 minutes away.

I was telling Tony and the kids I will bring them to Golden Cowrie (I am not sure now whether this is still the name) restaurant which is housed in a nipa hut but serves delicious ihaw ihaw/grilled food. I love their grilled fish and baked tahong shells. 

We were looking at the Renta Car services in Cebu and the prices are quite expensive.Guess we would just flag a taxi to bring us around Cebu.
