Cebu City Travel Forum

All,

I will be traveling to Cebu City for a business/leisure trip next month. I am looking for luxury hotel accommodations in the adult entertainment district. I also would like to hire a car and driver during my stay. I am 28 and single and enjoy dance clubs, drinking, gambling, billiards, and shopping. Any recommendations or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Turpa

Hi Turpa

I suggest the Marriot Hotel at Ayala.That area has everything that you require from the info you have given although not sure on the gambling part but that`s not a problem just grab a taxi & head over to the Waterfront Casino at Lahug.

The Waterfront Hotel Casino could be another place you can look at staying although I wouldn`t class the hotel as "luxurious"but it`s ok probably 4 star.There are a number of eateries & entertainment options in the nearby area.

I'd suggest Waterfront Hotel (Lahug), it has a casino. Marriot Hotel is next to a shopping mall. Both are in the heart of the city, you'll get to places in 15-30 mins by car.

Adult entertainment? if you mean red light district - there's no luxurious hotel in that area.

You can easily book a car with driver at the airport or at the hotel.

Hello Turpa

The others have already given you good advice with the Waterfront and Marriott.

Waterfront has the Casino and two duty free shops, one of which is supermarket style. It is also not far up the hill on Salinas drive to one of the most popular discos in Cebu City, the Sunflower.

Marriott is located on the same block of land as the Ayala Mall. Ayala Mall is an entertainment hub with restaurants, cinemas, fitness centres, night clubs and usual mall shopping. It is only a couple of minutes walk to several different entrances in Ayala Mall. It is across the road from HSBC whose ATM machine will dispense up to P40,000 at a time. It is also not far to the bikini bars on Mango avenue.

If you mean a red light district, the closest hotels to the foreigner friendly bars on and near Mango Avenue are:

A short walk up the hill
and
http://www.eddieshotel.com.ph/
It is 50 metres from the front door of Eddies to the front door of my favourite bar, Lonestar.

I forgot about a driver.

I used to be a partner in a tourism business in Cebu City. Our driver on the tours is now available for hire. You can see his details here:
