I am quite disappointed with Hadsan Cove resort because I did not enjoy their beach. It was full of seaweeds and their rooms lacked facilities. Just imagine using just a pale to get water from the sink's faucet for your morning bath... Nevertheless, I commend the staff for being polite and accomodating. The place was also recommended for diving... 
My friends and I were supposed to content ourselves with Hadsan's pool but seeing two kids having a row about the shit on the pool, we immediately lost our interest. Hence, we decided to proceed to Portofino. Swimming + Chill Out + Reggea Music = perfect summer getaway.
While Cebu was suffering from a large scale black out, me and my friends were having a breakfast feast in Shangrila Mactan. Yes, it was expensive but the breakfast was worth the price because we stayed full until the evening. Haha!
Day time stroll to Puerza de San Pedro, Magellan's Cross, Basilica de Santo Niño.
Evening at the TOPS! They say that the best time to visit this place is between 6 pm to 7pm. Not too dark that the whole of Metropolitan Cebu will still be visible... dark enough to see the city illuminating. However, we arrived at around 9pm after a very good persuasion from Manong taxi driver. We weren't able to drop by the Taoist temple due to the curfew, so we settled for an evening at the TOPS. No regrets... 
This bell is supposed to give strength to relationships.. One strike for love life... Syempre, I rang the bell only once. :P
I was just amazed with Mactan Cebu because it was packed with Koreans. Wherever you look you'll see a Korean resto, Korean Grocer, Korean bar, Korean diving shop, and etc. Gosh.. dumadami sila...
I think, the proliferation of pension hosues and inns in Cebu is a strategy to boost the tourism industry in the queen city. Wherever you go, there is always a homey pension house that will not leave you bankrupt after your trip. The place where we stayed (Axis Pension House- 09279640991) offered a comfy room for two for P850. It was compete with amenities which include hot and cold water, shower room, tv, phone and even transpo service. Kudos guys for making feel at home!
