Before Traveling to Cebu

I am planning to have a trip to Cebu Philippines, how long can I stay without a visa? And where can I exchange dollars in Cebu? These questions has been asked a many times in our cebu travel forum so we thought of creating a sticky thread for users with the same query but I guess not all users are savvy enough to look for these information.

Most of the reason why people who wanted to travel to Cebu is to meet their girlfriends, study in Cebu or just want to enjoy life in a tropical island and most probably because they wanted to witness parties and street dancing during the great Sinulog Festival or just want to experience the great beaches of Cebu during summer. Not knowing where to stay or what to do afterwards is something to think about once again, it may be great if you knew someone around. However here is a list of hotels to stay in Cebu that offers the cheapest rate.

Anyway, there are somethings you need to know before traveling to Cebu, like a foreigner can only stay in Cebu or in Philippines for 21 days. Just a short period of time especially If you do NOT have a VISA and this is according to the Department of Foreign Affairs [DFA]. So to make sure you’ll enjoy and stay longer than 21 days, you might just consider getting one.

Note that a foreigner can change his dollars at almost any shopping mall in Cebu or even in the airport before you ever leave. so there will be no hassles upon arriving in Cebu, you can even withdraw cash in Peso through ATM. So enjoy your stay!

Imperial Palace in Cebu

Cebu for its size has tons of travel bloggers looking for places to start an adventure during summer. And as always, the city isn’t always the best place to begin. So most of them cram in prestigious beaches in some remote areas like in Alcoy going to Oslob, Bantayan Island, Camotes Island and some just stay almost near the city like those beaches in Mactan so bumping some bloggers along the way is a common occurrence.

Months ago, I have visited some coastal beaches along south of Cebu and never really doubted those are in fact the best beach resorts I have seen in my entire life. But I’ve discover time and time again that there are still paradise nearby I haven’t explore.

I’ve heard of this Imperial Palace before but I never really believed the exaggerated descriptions of my friends have told me about this particular resort. And because I want you experience it first hand how amazing and enjoyable this paradise is and if you haven’t done so already I encourage you to take a close look to these images and visit Imperial Palace this summer because its just more fun in the Philippines.
