Jollygoodfellow Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I have began planning for a trip to Cebu in March,anyone have any advise on a place to stay for a month with reasonable rates,close to everything.Last time I stayed on Matcan but this was to inconvenient and I think the cost of taxis out weighed the savings.Lars Hanson has given me some good info offline about the Sarosa hotel but still open to your sugestions.Anyone????? :36_1_68[1]: :th_thbarbaque: :th_need_vac: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know its a long way off but I like to plan.I am thinking ancientrocker will be singing and Mr. Lee dancing on the tables so don't miss it. :whistling: When we have recovered we might head over to CDO to invade Mike ( spooks) as well. :th_thimage_265775: Am I excited already,you betcha,will be purchasing my flight tickets in a few weeks. :kidding: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panserhansen Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Metropark in Lahug could also be a good choice. I've talked to several guys staying there and enjoyed it. They are often fully booked(also a good sign) and I think you can get a 1BR condo for 20K a month there.Renting from a private person can be a problem for such a short stay.Sarrosa, however a bit more expensive, will be totally hasslefree. We love it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
