Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu

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.

Radisson Bathroom
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.

Radisson Blu Lobby
I love the huge lobby.

At the pool. We did not have time for swimming though.

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

Breakfast
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 hotelĀ  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.

Booked!

The day is getting closer and closer. I am just so excited. I don’t think I have been this excited with our trips before. I am always cool about our travels but this time it’s different. Probably because I haven’t been to Philippines for almost a year now? Hmmm…probably!

It took me a while to decide which hotel we should stay in Cebu City. I had two choices: Radisson and Marriott. In the end, I chose Radisson Hotel because there are more positive reviews on Radisson than Marriott.

I have also booked our Manila hotel. I want to stay in Ortigas area so I chose The Malayan Plaza. It’s not five star but who wants to stay the whole day in the room when you can go shopping and dining out? A basic hotel is just fine with us. I’ve stayed here before and it was okay for me. My main reason for choosing The Malayan Plaza is because it is just walking distance to Podium, Megamall and Robinson’s Mall. Perfect for us mall rats! LOL!

I am so excited and I just can’t hide it. Weeeee!!!!
