Cebu City, A Short visit to the "Queen City of the South"

We attended a social function in Cebu city, and it's a quick visit which is unfortunate since we don't have time to visit tourists sites in Cebu city or spend some time on a beach. We did enjoy the huge malls in the city like SM City Cebu, the Ayala Center Cebu, and the SM Seaside City Cebu. The SM Seaside City Cebu is the newest and it is huge. It offers a lot of activities, shopping and dining choices. It is the 3rd biggest mall in the Philippines at 430,000 square meters.





The SM Seaside City Cebu offers a lot of choices for shopping and eating, you can also go ice skating in their olympic-sized ice skating rink, play bowling, or watch movies in the IMAX theater.

SM Seaside City Cebu's landmark is The Cube, a 21 meter by 21 meter steel sculpture that sits in front of the mall.


During our quick visit in Cebu city, we stayed at "Wellcome Hotel Cebu" which is near  Ayala Center Cebu. We stayed there for two nights. They have a swimming pool but they are rather small but that's okay since we are not there for swimming. Our room was a De Luxe room which is very spacious, clean and it was very decent overall though it was not luxurious. The breakfast at the roof-deck was surprisingly good and the view of the city was amazing.

They also offer Free WIFI and LAN Internet Access. This hotel offers clean and spacious room that is very close to a major shopping mall in the city at a very reasonable price. It's worth checking.
