There’s a beautiful mountain spine running the north-south length of this long and narrow island. You will see the City of Cebu. Then you will also see Mandaue City, followed by the flat, barren landscape of Mactan Island.

Lapu Lapu City also known as Mactan Island is where most of the gleaming four and five-star hotels are located. Some of the resorts and hotels have manicured artificial white-sand beaches that is closely similar to the places in Hawaii. There are good restaurants, casino for high rollers, and music galore.

Driving Around Cebu

Driving into Cebu City, as opposed to actually staying there on business, can be shock to the system. But once in, there’s much to do and enjoy.

A pleasant vantage point from where to survey the land - or the lights depending upon your time of visit - is the hilltop Tops (P100 entrance fee). On the way down you might stop at the Italian La tegola which offers great views and is open to the breezes. It’s a simple, romantic, pit stop with decent pasta. Further down is the Chateau de Busay, a more upmarket villa with a garden and equally stunning views. Steaks and meats are the order of the day. Also on these slopes is the quirkily-named Mr. A with great views, a pub atmosphere and a younger set.

Restaurants and Malls

The most interesting Filipino dining experience is still to be had at the Golden Cowrie in Lahug Cebu City where you eat on banana leaves under the high timber rafters of an old house. Across Waterfront Hotel, is The Walk, a standalone complex of fast-food eateries and local shops.

Cebu shopping options focus on a few large malls - SM City in the North Reclamation Area close to the coast, and Ayala Center Cebu in Banilad further inland.
