From check in to check out it was a wonderful experience all the staff were friendly, smiling and always willing to help. room was clean and spacious and if you needed additional pillows or towels they would promptly bring it to you and also ask you if you anything else. The buffet breakfast staff made sure you were comfortable and ask you if they can help you get anything so you don't have to get up The buffet selection was just extravagant and delicious. The beds were super comfortable and it's proximity to Park Mall which where a lot of restaurants are and a supermarket. I really felt like a VIP even if it was my first time. The views from the rooms are also amazing. I give this hotel 10/10.

Great location!! Walking distance to everything downtown which is very accessible. The hotel is well maintained and the environment was pleasant and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and consistently making sure that guest were comfortable. I will definitely stay there when I come back! Just a charming place. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting downtown Cebu. #yearofrabbit#newyearadventure#awesomepic#cafe#celebratewithtrip#2023travelwish

The shopping mall was so crazy, so I came to The Outlets mall near the hotel to drink coffee. I found a cafe with a nice atmosphere, and the coffee tastes really good! I enjoyed a cup of coffee with a nice atmosphere and taste💕 ☕️ #Mactan #CafeRecommendation #IcedAmericano #AtmosphereRestaurant

We were able to stay at Bai Hotel after we got invited by my cousin who sponsored our stay here. The hotel was quite new when we first visisted it and you can feel the exclusive vibe. It is like a whole new different place once you get inside. Located in Mandaue City, Cebu just across the Cebu International Convention Center and near Park Mall, it’s a busy street outside and this is a pure contrast of the street scene - a relaxing vibe, very welcoming atmosphere, not to mention the great food served at Cafe Bai. I love their buffet! Would love to be here again very soon.

Two days since I arrived in Cebu for a last minute business trip scheduled to last for a little more than a week, I was a somehow relieved knowing Friday finally came. I finally found some spare time to squeeze the tight scheduleand the rigid agenda of things to do, to finally step out of that mindset and allow myself a proper leisurely time to experience the hotel I am staying at for the duration of my stay here. Address - Bai Hotel Cebu Ouano Ave, corner C.D.Seno, Mandaue City, 6014 Cebu Ambiance/Facilities - I am staying at Bai Hotel, a 3 star hotel in Mandaue City in Cebu. For its facilities and ameneties, I think the hotel could be more. First, the sheer size of the hotel is almost comparable to other 5 star rated hotels. They also have more than enough offerings, such as 5 in-house restaurants, which includes a special charcuterie bar and for the price tag at the menu, it is definitely not mid-range, but I think is fair. Though the food and dining options might hit a bit heavy on the pocket, I think the rooms are very reasonably priced which allowed me to spare a few buck to try their Lobby Lounge and Poolside Bar and restaurants. Highlights -Anyway, I think Bai Hotel's Poolside Bar located at the 21st floor is the highlight of my me-time Friday. I first learned about the Poolside Bar when I checked in as I had to know the designated smoking area. I was given the option to go by the hotel's drop off area with people hanging around, or the Poolside Bar, which is an open air Bar and Restaurant by the Poolside location high up at the hotel's 21st floor. I chose that option, for obvious reasons. I remembered the pool being nice an offers a panoramic view of Cebu city lights. Pool side also has ample sitting area if you prefer just to catch some fresh breeze and not get wet. Most importantly, access is controlled and place is more private. It allowed me to have proper appreciation of the little time I spend for myself to be spent for and with my self. Avg. Price per Person - 6,000 Pesos Rating - 4.8 / 5.0 #resortstyle

At around 3 in the morning yesterday, I received the confirmation that I need to fly to Cebu by noon. Though it has been planned that I fly to visit a client, we never got the proper confirmation as to when I would fly, until I have to. Soon as trip was confirmed, arrangements have to be made and I ended up in Bai Hotel in Mandaue City, Cebu. Address - Bai Hotel Cebu Ouano Ave, corner C.D.Seno, Mandaue City, 6014 Cebu Ambiance/Facilities - My first thought: The hotel looks new and well maintained. Though I do not feel the same vibe as I usually do in my usual hotel of choice, that kind that makes you feel the air of luxury just by the smell of the air wafting throughout the lobby, Bai Hotel nonetheless did not disappoint. The Lobby is pretty big and right away gave a contemporary urban vibe. Highlights - It's Day 1 of many I supposed and coming from a delayed flight, all I wanted was to be in my room and rest. And that's exactly what I did soon as we arrived: I went straight to my room, took some pictures and a hot shower. The room is pretty big, with a king size bed with fresh white sheets, a study table with desk lamps, a corner lounge and a full size bathroom. That is all I need for now, until I find time to explore other things to do while I am here, indefinitely. Avg. Price per Person - 6,000 Pesos Rating - 4.6 / 5.0 #staycation

Address - 888 A.S Fortuna Street Mandaue City Ambiance/Facilities - Casual, Spacious place good for small and large group functions. Highlights - The restaurant space is huge they have capacity to hold more than 150 persons. If you want a more private dine in experience, the staff offers to have you in a room which can cater about 5-6 guests. When my bf and I went their it was lunch time on a weekday. Not a lot of people which makes the service even greater. The staffs were prompt and they are all smiles when they were bringing in the food. The price is very affordable to think that it’s unlimited pork belly and sides. The lettuce is also unlimited which I was surprised since in one of the Kbbq buffet I went in SG it wasn’t unlimited. I really recommend this place. Avg. Price per Person - 350-600PHP Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #donnaheats #donnahtheexplorer #koreanbbq #samgyupsal #mandaue #cebu

Address - J Centre Mall, Mandaue City, Cebu. Ambiance/Facilities - casual, great for small group date. Highlights - Affordable Food, great drinks, friendly staffs Avg.

The foods are so good but the service is no good. They are having favoritism. Quite pricey except for silog orders. Good place to chill but not so good for a hungry person. Serving time took almost 45 minutes. And condiments are not complete. Didnt able to savor the sisig no soysauce vinegar and calamansi no available.Recommended for drinking sessions and chill time but not for normal eating sesh due to serving time constraints.Good interior design but humid. Ventilation is not good. But wall designs are instagrammable.No plans of coming back. Waiters are having good treatment to regulars. New customers are not treated so well.#awesomepic #foodie #staycation

had so much fun with family at Bai Hotel in Cebu City. Food is great as well as complete amenities. This is also a very child friendly hotel since they have pools as well as play area. The rooms are well maintained. staff are accommodating and professional. We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights and 4 days for the first time. Foods are freshly prepared and really tastes so good. Their buffet has an array of food to choose from. I appreciate it that they have “Taho” and it really tastes so good. I’ve stayed in many hotels both local and international but I’ve never seen or had a “taho” except at Bai Hotel. They also have a nice gym with lots of equipment to burn some calories after eating so much from buffet. #baihotel #staycation #foodie

Without a doubt, cafés have become an integral part of the “going out” culture in this day and age. But no matter how relaxing or comfortable most cafes are, only a handful manage to replicate the feeling of relaxing at home – Balai Plus Café, Cebu’s homey café. Balai Café Plus humbly sits in a secluded part of AS Fortuna. Despite the fact that this highway is popular for its rush hour, once you’re inside the café, it never fails to make you feel at home. And what good a home would be if shrubs and herbs are not present? Balai Café Plus is abundantly verdant, as plants are a primary decoration of their store. Guests can dine under the shady trees, complimenting a full stomach with a breeze of fresh air. Speaking of food, the café offers an all-day brunch menu. Because let’s face it, waking up late on a Sunday morning only to get brunch is one of the homiest feelings, right? Balai Plus Café seeks to mimic that experience by offering a wide variety of pasta, sandwiches and other food that are perfect for brunch. #staycation #gooutside #foodie #cafe

My personal favorite is their Japanese cuisine section, where a number of people are lining up too.

#여름이와여름 A Japanese ramen restaurant located in Oakridge Business Park. There are various side dishes such as hot ramen and cold ramen, I ordered ajitamago and half-boiled egg in addition to the tantanmen! For my taste, the soup was very rich overall, but a little salty. There was a lot of meat in the tantanmen, and I ate a bowl full. (As for the dumplings.. I expected them to be soft on the outside and soft on the inside..) I think the price was similar to Korea..! It's Cebu, but the price range is reasonable here. There's a Starbucks right next door, so it's good to go straight for dessert ^^ #Cebu #CebuTravel #oakridge #CebuRestaurants #CebuJapaneseFood #JapaneseRamen #Yushoken #CebuCity #Philippines #OverseasTravel #LivingInCebu
