- burghughesGreendale, WI1,008 contributionsThis was my fourth time here and I always enjoy it. It’s a beautiful place for an afternoon walk. Even though it was hot while we were there , there is plenty of shade to be found
We had a volunteer tour guide for part of our visit this time. He was filled with information, but delivery was pretty boring and he spent way to long in each section, so after a while I tipped him 300 pesos and we explored on our own. Where the tour guide is really helpful is in the galleries to explain the art pieces, after that I suggest type and go on your own.Written September 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As soon as I arrived, I was immediately struck by the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning architecture.
The prayer halls were serene, and I found myself taking a moment to reflect and connect with my spirituality. Lighting incense and making wishes felt incredibly meaningful and personal.Written July 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A coffee shop" Le Vie " was a good stop over on this tops road overlooks also of the city! This coffee shop appears like a french shop, with "french like" pastries, etc. The tops road is a long drive to the top, well worth it, it has excellent views.Written October 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HieatsreychPhilippines306 contributionsMagellan's Cross in Cebu, Philippines is a historic and symbolic landmark that holds great significance. Standing in front of the cross, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence. It's a powerful reminder of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines and the beginnings of a rich cultural heritage.Written July 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon CAshtead, UK782 contributionsApparently, this is the oldest Chinese house in Cebu and I was told “most is original”.
I am sceptical, the floorboards like more like 35 years old not 350 and nails were not around in the 1670s. The owners, I mam told, stay at weekends, but hard to see quite where since their bedroom looked very unoccupied.
One uncomfortable moment was in the garden where there is a harpist, who for a few peso, will play a little, at which three young children- aged between 4-7, dressed in traditional dress wake up (or are woken) from dozing in a nearby room and rush to perform a series of whirls and swirls. They don’t look happy and I felt this bordered on child abuse.
The harpist told me these were his children, so does this make it ok?Written May 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kevin TAuckland, New Zealand1,117 contributionsPart of a tour around Cebu tourist hotspots and the views alone are decent. Some of the rooms were closed so inside was a quick visit but it was very popular and worth stopping over.

- alwaystravelsfPacifica, CA362 contributionsSomeone recommended seeing this Monument and Yap house a stones throw away. Great place to start sightseeing of area.
Didn’t do any research previously, but was fascinated by the size and the characters depicted. They look like bad ass Warriors and I was the only one there . Only about 5 minutes to look at and then make your way to Yap house!Written May 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Then the next hassle is choosing what you’ll like to eat & drink .. as there’s so many delicious food kiosks to choose from

- irenevffBulacan Province, Philippines3,985 contributionsyou would have not thought it was a solemn place from afar had it not been for the huge Cross on its facade. there was no dome nor a spire - just slabs of concrete positioned like domino pieces beside and in front of each other, with varying heights and widths. i appreciate the contemporary modern design.
i have observed that the pews inside the chapel are aligned evenly like they follow the equal spaces in between the walls. i was told the chapel is centrally airconditioned. would have been lovely if my husband and i would renew our vows in this Church - peaceful, quiet & serene.
since this sits within the SM seaside complex, i'm assuming the lot is owned or donated by the Sy family.Written June 10, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
