Cebu's Dream Apartment: 2BR, Airy, Amazing Views!

Cebu's Dream Apartment: 2BR, Airy, Amazing Views!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the sparkly turquoise waters – metaphorically speaking – of Cebu's Dream Apartment: 2BR, Airy, Amazing Views!. And let me tell you, after living in reviews for the past week, I'm ready to spill the tea, scatter the petals, and give you the real lowdown, not some corporate speak BS. This is review, with a side of chaos, because hey, perfection is boring, right?
First Impressions: The View Makes You Forget You're Haggling with a Taxi Driver.
Listen, I'm a sucker for a good view. And this place? The views! Forget Instagram filters, you guys. This is the kind of view that makes you momentarily forget the scorching Cebu humidity and that haggling match you just had with the taxi driver (which, by the way, felt like a blood sport). The phrase "amazing views" is thrown around a lot, but here? It’s genuinely true. You'll be snapping pictures like a semi-pro photographer, guaranteed. The "Airy" part of the name isn't just marketing fluff either. The apartment feels open, breathable, and bright. Perfect for surviving the heat!
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But Let's Be Honest, Cebu Ain't Exactly Wheelchair-Friendly.
Okay, let's get real for a sec. The accessibility situation in Cebu, as a whole, isn't exactly a smooth ride for folks with mobility issues. While I wasn’t personally using a wheelchair, I did scout out this aspect. The apartment itself seems alright. The elevator is definitely a plus, and that's more than I can say for half the places here! But navigating the city beyond the apartment could be… an adventure. So, check their specific setup and confirm accessibility before you book, and brace yourself for potentially bumpy sidewalks in Cebu. They have "facilities for disabled guests" listed, which is a start, but digging deeper is key. This needs more detailed information from the property about doorways, bathroom configuration, etc.
Internet & Tech: Wi-Fi That Actually Works! (Hallelujah!)
Look, I need reliable internet. You need reliable internet. We all need reliable internet. And thank the digital gods, this place delivers! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it actually works! I was able to stream movies, upload photos, and even (gasp) work without the constant buffering death spiral. They also have Internet [LAN] which makes the speed even better. Plus, Internet Services in the room and Wi-Fi in public areas, meaning you are covered. That's a huge win for remote workers or anyone who, you know, needs to, you know, not be completely disconnected from the world.
Cleanliness & Safety: Seriously, They're Trying!
Okay, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so this section matters. The fact they're doing Daily disinfection in common areas, Anti-viral cleaning products, and Rooms sanitized between stays is a HUGE plus. The Hand sanitizer is plentiful. The Staff trained in safety protocol and they have Hygiene certification. They also have a Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit. Not gonna lie, I felt a little more relaxed knowing this. They also include Room sanitization opt-out available, so if you are really sensitive about keeping products away you have an option. They have quite a lot of safety features on lock. While I'm not a scientist, the fact these steps are being taken, and that hygiene is a priority, made me feel pretty darn secure. Let's be real, with the world being what it is, that's a huge selling point.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Restaurant, The Bar, and the Tiny Water Bottle of Tears.
They have Restaurants. Awesome. They also offer Poolside bar AND Snack bar. If you are like me, you may spend a lot of time at the Poolside bar. Then they have Coffee/tea in restaurant and Desserts in restaurant. My biggest complaint? The sometimes inconsistent food quality. They offer Asian cuisine in restaurant along with International cuisine in restaurant. I found the breakfast buffet (Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service) hit or miss. The coffee was, shall we say… interesting. And sometimes you have to wait for a table (A la carte in restaurant). But it's a minor quibble. The convenience of having food on-site is a massive bonus. They also offer Room service [24-hour]. I mean, can't expect perfection, right? One thing that did bum me out? The tiny, single-serve Bottle of water in the room. Just give me a real water bottle! But that's nitpicking. They have Vegetarian restaurant options too, which is a win! And they have a Happy hour, which…sold!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams & Poolside Bliss.
This is where Cebu's Dream Apartment really shines, or, well… could shine more. They have a Swimming pool [outdoor] and a Pool with view. The pool is gorgeous, with spectacular views. And that is the highlight. No questions asked! They also have a Fitness center, which looked pretty standard but hey, at least they have one! And that's about it on that front. I would have loved a more extensive list to choose from. They have Spa/sauna, and in that area they have Sauna, Steamroom, Massage, and Foot bath, which gives me a lot of joy. I would totally spend hours there if I could!
Services & Conveniences: The Elevator is Your Best Friend.
Elevator! I've already mentioned the Elevator, and I stand by it. It’s a lifesaver. They also have Air conditioning in public area. Essential. Doorman, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, and Laundry service? Basically, they’re trying to anticipate your every need. They also offer Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Luggage storage, Car park [free of charge], and Car park [on-site]. They are even trying to be eco-friendly and offer Car power charging station. These are all solid, pragmatic touches that make your stay easier.
For the Kids? I’d Say, "Depends on Your Kid."
They're "family/child friendly" with Babysitting service and Kids facilities. But I didn’t notice anything particularly kid-tastic. Definitely ask more details from the hotel directly if a family trip is planned.
Available in All Rooms: The Essentials, Plus Some Surprises!
Okay, the rooms themselves are a decent size, with the Air conditioning is thankfully strong and super available! You get the usual suspects: Alarm clock, Air conditioning, Bathtub, Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Hair dryer, Refrigerator, Shower, Toiletries, Towels. And they actually have Blackout curtains! That alone is a win. It helps you sleep better! They have the essential Free bottled water. I’d rate this a strong positive.
Amenities I Didn’t Get to Experience… But I Still Want to Mention Them:
- Business Facilities: They have Business facilities, Meetings, Meeting/banquet facilities, but I didn't check these out.
- Other Services: They have Couple's room, Doctor/nurse on call, and Invoice provided, but I didn't use or see these.
- Extra Touches: They offer Room decorations and a Proposal spot, which seems so cute!
The Messy Truth: The Perfectly Imperfect Cebu Experience.
Look, Cebu's Dream Apartment isn't flawless. It's not the Four Seasons. But it's comfortable, clean, and convenient. And it offers something that money just can't buy: those incredible, heart-stopping, "I-can't-believe-I'm-here" views. You'll have moments of pure bliss, moments of minor frustration (that darn water bottle!), and hopefully, a whole lot of memories.
My Verdict: Book it! (With a Few Cautious But Encouraged Whispers)
Okay, here's the skinny: Book Cebu's Dream Apartment: 2BR, Airy, Amazing Views!. If you're looking for a comfortable apartment with a breathtaking view, this is a solid choice.

Bali's Hidden Gem: Sayang Sanur Villa III Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my Cebu adventure at that Airbnb, the "Amazing Apartment Airy Best," which, frankly, had better live up to the hype because I'm already envisioning myself sprawled on a balcony with a San Miguel and a dramatic view. And if it doesn't… well, let's just say you'll hear about it.
Cebu Chaos: My Totally Unplanned, Incredibly Human (and Probably Messy) Itinerary
(Okay, so technically it's semi-planned. I tried to make a plan. But let's be real, plans are like cats: they wander off on their own, ignoring your best intentions.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Jet Lag Tango
- Morning (5:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Arrived at Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Passport control? Smooth sailing. Baggage claim? Okay, the conveyor belt felt like it was moving in slow motion. My suitcase? Apparently on a different continent. Ugh. After an incredibly sweaty wait that seemed to stretch into eternity, I finally located that wayward bag. Hallelujah!.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Taxi to "Amazing Apartment Airy Best." (Praying that’s the actual name… I’m really bad at remembering things after a long flight.) Checked in. The apartment is airy. And… pretty darn nice, I'll be honest, with a stellar balcony view of the city. Jackpot! (For now, anyway. Let's see how the cockroaches feel about it, am I right?)
- Afternoon (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Unpacking, collapsing on the bed, and contemplating the existential dread of jet lag. Seriously, is it lunch time yet? Am I hungry? I don't even know. Attempted a shower, almost forgot to use the shampoo, failed… again. Ate a packet of peanuts (that's lunch, right?). Fell asleep attempting to send a cheerful text to my sister.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Forced myself to actually unpack. Found a rogue bag of chips in my luggage. Victory! Decided to venture out for supplies: water, coffee (essential), maybe some emergency chocolate. Got completely lost despite the helpful directions. Cebu traffic is… a thing. A very loud, chaotic, and perpetually moving thing. Stumbled upon a local sari-sari store (corner shop) and bought a bunch of stuff I probably don't need.
- Evening (5:00 PM - onward): Back at the apartment. Realized I have no idea how to work the television. Ordered lechon (roasted pig) from a delivery service. Best decision EVER. Seriously, I think I had a religious experience. Sat on the balcony, watching the sunset, eating the lechon, and feeling like I had finally arrived. (Until I realized there were no forks. Cue dramatic internal sigh). Ended the night scrolling through Instagram. Fell asleep drooling on my phone. Perfect.
Day 2: Island Fever (Literally and Figuratively)
- Morning (Sometime): Woke up. Sun! Decided to brave a solo day trip to Kawasan Falls. Looked up a travel blog, hoping for hints.
- Morning (early): Tried to get a grab car to Kawasan Falls. After waiting for what seemed hours, the guy canceled on me. After 2 more cancellations, I decided to give up. Went back to the apartment.
- Late Morning (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Hired a driver. Finally, we are on our way! Made a stop at a scenic viewpoint. Giddy. Happy to be here.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Kawasan Falls! Wow. The water is an otherworldly shade of turquoise. Took some photos, took some videos. The water was freezing cold. The crowds were insane! Survived the canyoning thingy, and was covered in mud. My clothes are ruined. Worth it.
- Evening (5:00 PM - onward): The waterfalls emptied me, exhausted. I ordered a pizza by phone. Slept again early.
Day 3: Culture Shock and Seafood Bliss
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Planned a visit to Colon Street, the oldest street in Cebu, to "immerse myself in local culture." (Translation: get accosted by aggressive street vendors and question my life choices.) Actually, it wasn't as scary as I thought. The street is buzzing with activity, a complete sensory overload! Ended up buying a cheesy souvenir and a ridiculously large sun hat.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Headed to Carbon Market. More chaos! More haggling! Managed to get a great deal on some mangoes. They are glorious.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Went to a fancy restaurant in the IT Park area. Enjoyed a seafood dinner. The place had pretty lights.
- Evening (6:00 PM - onward): Back at the apartment. Started (and failed) to learn a few basic Cebuano phrases. "Salamat" (thank you) is as far as I got. Ate the rest of the mangoes. Watched way too many videos of cats. Realized my phone battery was almost dead. Another emergency trip to the convenience store for a charger.
Day 4: Sunbathing and Final Thoughts (and Pre-Departure Panic)
- Morning (10:00 AM): Wake up late. No rush. The most important thing is the view from the balcony.
- Afternoon (12:00 AM): Sunbathing! I made it to the beach. It's not the most scenic beach in the world, but the sun felt great on my skin. Ate some tasty coconut and watched people.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Packing. Already starting to feel a pang of sadness. I don't want to leave.
- Evening (6:00 PM - onward): Ate some more lechon. It's a habit. Final sunset from the balcony. Felt a profound sadness in saying goodbye.
Things That Didn't Happen (But Were Supposed To):
- Learn more than two Cebuano phrases. (Okay, maybe three, depending on how you count "delicious.")
- Visit the Magellan's Cross. (Oops.)
- Go scuba diving. (My bad.)
- Become fluent in Tagalog. (Not even a little bit.)
Final Thoughts:
Cebu was… a beautiful mess. The apartment was pretty great, the food was incredible, the people were lovely, and the jet lag nearly killed me. Did I plan too much? Definitely. Did I do everything I wanted? Nope. Did I laugh a lot, get lost a lot, and eat an embarrassing amount of food? Absolutely.
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Maybe I'll actually wear sunscreen next time. And maybe, just maybe, I'll learn how to say “thank you” properly. And maybe try to see about that Cross. Still good. Still good.
