Budget : got discount vouchers for ~Php4,000 per person

Duration : 3 days/2 nights

Bummers : having a little misunderstanding regarding reservations which could have left us without a place to stay

Crown Regency Hotel and Towers Cebu

Thanks to discount vouchers, we were lucky to avail a 3D/2N stay at Crown Regency Hotel and Towers, Cebu that comes with an Extreme New Adventure package and complete buffet meals. Unfortunately, there was a slight bump along the way before we got to stay our cozy rooms in this hotel. The dates of our reservation were incorrect according to their booking system. It could be an error in the system or simply a misunderstanding during the phone conversation regarding reserving the rooms. Anyway, I recommend that if you book a room in any hotel, make sure you ask for a confirmation receipt so that you can verify if the dates are correct and in case there is a misunderstanding regarding reservations, you have something to present to the front desk. Moving on, let bygones be bygones and just take the lessons learned for them.

Our 3D/2N of stay at Crown Regency Hotel and Towers, Cebu was simply amazing (just remove the misunderstanding we had at the start). The first night, we stayed at their condominium tower because the deluxe rooms were full. The condo room given to us was still great despite the fact that the building is still in the construction process. Also, we were so tired on the first night because we toured the entire city so I guess just having a comfy place to stay would be enough for us. They promised us to transfer us to the deluxe rooms in case they become available. And they did, on our second night of stay.

Yeah, we were so tired on the first night that we just basically washed up and dozed off.

When in Cebu, you can allocate one day for the city tour. Cebu is popular for its historical sites and you can visit lots of places in the city and the nearby island of Mactan that has something to do with Philippine history. But let’s not go into detail about that. Here are some snaps of the places that we’ve gone to in Cebu City and Mactan.
