My choice of Hotel in Cebu

I made reservations through their website, also made use of their live chat and e-mailed with their reservations officer. They answered my queries well, but it will take maximum 24 hours before they get back to you. If you are lucky enough they will e-mail you right back.

Took me about 30-40 minutes taxi ride from Mactan international airport. And it costs around PHP 250. It's a wise decision to ride the metered taxi in the airport when you are not familiar in Cebu. The flag down rate is PHP 70.00 then PHP 4.00 every 300 meters.

 Quest Hotel Cebu address: Archbishop Reyes Avenue, Cebu City, Philippines. Very near Ayala mall.



Lucky for me I got to avail their promo rate of PHP 2,400 for a twin deluxe room with buffet breakfast. 
They got free wi-fi access in the rooms and pool area. The wi-fi code is given with the room card key.
Good selection of TV channels.



Some of the breakfast choices I can still remember while I was there:
Fried Danggit
Longganisa
Fried rice
Sunny side up
Omelet
Cream Dory
Salad bar
Molo soup
Chicken Congee
Cereals
Fruits: Watermelon (red and yellow)
           Pineapple
           Papaya
Beverages : Orange Juice
                   Mango Juice
                   Fresh Milk
                   Brewed Coffee
Different breads, I like the croissant and pancake the most. Topped with butter, maple syrup, strawberry jam or blueberry jam. Crackers, cheese, muffins...etc

Would have been perfect if they had Hot chocolate noh? 

The bathroom, with toiletries like: cotton buds, cotton pads, shower cap and sanitary bag.
Two towels and two face towels.
Toilet tissue and facial tissue.
Mini soap, bath gel and a 2in1 shampoo conditioner in a small tube.
Hot and cold shower.



The bed lamps

Safety box and Mini Bar located in the sliding closet

Mini Bar



If you look close enough on the headboards you will see this tiny designs.

My room was on the 9th floor, it has two big windows covered by curtains. One view is the picture seen above, while the other is the view of the half side of the pool area on the 7th floor. And why did I say half? because the other half area below is where I can directly see the air conditioning system of the building.

Hotel complimentary: bottled water by nature's spring, lipton tea bags and coffee.


The puso restaurant, where one could also find their bar/ lounge. The chairs are very comfy to sit on because they are soft and big, just like the sofas in the lobby area.



The 8th floor with patios.

See me swimming? 
The main pool is only 4 feet high, and the kiddie pool is 2 feet high.
The pool water is not irritating to the eyes, the water temperature is relaxing not too cold nor warm.
Towels are given after you sign in your room number in a log sheet. 
Listen to the instrumental songs while you relax and dip in the pool.
The pool bar is not yet operational but you can order food from the hotel resto/bar and consume it at the pool lounge. They also offer grilled foods cooked right there at the pool area.
I would have been nice if they have big umbrellas for people to cover up when the sun is high. The shower area is clean and well-lighted. 

And here is my bed =) The bed would have been perfect if the split type air con doesn't drip on it sometimes and if the little glossy green pillow be bigger so I can hug it to sleep.

I would rate my stay 8 out of 10. The price is just right, I hope they will have many other promos. 
Quest hotel in Cebu makes me feel at home. Most of the staffs are courteous and helpful.
