On our recent trip to Cebu, we stayed at Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu. In the beginning, I had a little difficulty choosing our hotel. Hubby voted for Marriott Cebu. I couldn’t blame him. We’ve had great experiences with Marriott chains. But I wanted to give Radisson Blu a chance.

I read reviews and it looked like Radisson Blu wins over Marriott by a few points. That gave me the confidence to book Radisson.

And guess what, we had a great stay there!

I booked the Deluxe room with breakfast thru Agoda. I paid around $217 for two night’s stay. I’d say, it was worth it.

Our Deluxe room. I loved the bed, the pillows, iPod dock and most of all the free internet in the room. You can choose either the lan cable or the wifi internet for connection. Yup, they have two connection.

With EJ making face. Our view is the SM City Cebu’s parking lot and Cebu Harbour.

The bathroom. It’s basic, no frill bathroom. No bathtub. But I did not mind. There was no time anyway for dipping in the tub.

I love the huge lobby.

They change the flower arrangement everyday. Beautiful!

The hotel breakfast was also good. They had great choices and we loved the Filipino fare.

My husband’s plate: two fried eggs, dilis, dried pusit, danggit, longganisa, and corned beef. The waiters were nice and polite. They bring your coffee and tea right away.

Another plus factor, this hotel  is just right beside SM City Cebu. So dining choices is not limited to the hotel’s cafe and room service.

As I have said above, we had a fantastic stay at the hotel. I gave myself a pat in the back for following my instinct.
