In a nutshell
Historical highlights for some beach vacations.
limledi Says: Yooneek Beach Resort in Bantayan Island is definitely one of my favorite beaches. Fine powdery white sand which you can walk barefooted. Very safe for children coz no sudden depths. I can sit whole day gazing at the blue horizon with a cool drink. The scenery is just so...

Taxi hire to Oslob, Barangay Tan-awan
haka5 Says: Taxi drivers are crazy....but, safe. ...a long ride to Oslob 2-3 hours depending on traffic and day of week. At 3am on a thursday there was not much traffic on the well paved but, slightly curvy country road...had to dodge village dogs sleeping in the middle of the road...
limledi Says: Taking a ro-ro (roll-on roll-off) is the best way to go to Bantayan Island from Hagnaya, Cebu. Fare for one way trip costs P140. Kids can avail of discount. Regular ferry service from Hagnaya Port to Santa Fe, Bantayan Island is from 6am until 5pm. Travel time is about 1...
ahoerner Says: Ayala Center is located in a nice and green park in the middle of Cebu not far from the city centre.There you find yourself in a regular shopping mall. Some souvenir stores and department stores where you can also buy souvenirs.
It's always better to give a price range or limit when asking for suggestions. What someone thinks is "reasonable" may not be reasonable to you. Several here have suggested the Fuente Osmena Circle area. This is the heart of the city, but the worst area for very aggressive street people who will harass you trying to sell you drugs or beg for money and even try to pick your pocket. This is certainly NOT an area to take the wife and kids. You will feel like you have walked into the lions den.
You may want to consider some of the hotels and resorts on Mactan where the airport and the only beaches near the city are located. It is a short ride into the city if you want to explore things. Without knowing more about your budget, I would not attempt to make a recommendation for lodging.

Boljoon, Cebu church and other victims of greed
unica_hija77 Says: Boljoon church in Southern Cebu, about a hundred km. from Cebu City. is a real trip to 200 years ago. Visit it while the people in charge have not totally wrecked it as they did other historical landmarks. As in many other churches in the Philippines, the parish priests have...
adventureguy_007 Says: Hi Sarah. You should reconsider changing your accommodations and re-book them at one of the resorts on Mactan in the Maribago area. The main reason being is that Plantation Bay is rather removed from everything and you would have to get a taxi to go anywhere off the...

chictraveller Says: I'd suggest Cebu :) Manila is very cosmopolitan. Indeed, it's just full of buildings and getting around is difficult due to heavy traffic. Cebu is more balanced. You can go around the city and go to the beach anytime. Actually, there are a lot of beaches near the city. Check...
