Top hotels in Central
Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu
Huge resort, popular with Korean guests. Comfortable, although a bit dated suite with a nice ocean view (unfortunately, it was rainy). Breakfast buffet with many good options, although very crowded. Much more quiet in the club lounge on the eighth floor.

Radisson Blu Cebu
Friendly staff. A lot of security which made us feel very safe. SM mall is right next to the hotel. Gym is big. We rented a car and had free parking which made things smooth for us.
