Another good video Rod, looks pretty good value for the money , and will probably even get discount the way things are now the whole world is in panic mode. I’m back home now, but beginning to wish I had stayed there. Stay safe there Rod .
Rod, Thank you for the information. They look very clean, modern and safe! VERY reasonable for $520.00 USD per month and no lease commitment. Good find! Daniel
It is a great place. I have stayed there for two months. Casa Verde just around the block. A nice restaurant. ATM close by. Little store downstairs. Elevator. Thanks Rod.
Looks like a good location and a decent place at a decent price .only thing I don't agree with is that generator fee . If they have to run the generator ,85 pesos per hour . Because if they have like hundreds of people paying that fee, they're making like a big profit off of that.
Thanks J J. That is the only time I have seen a generator fee and it is a bad PR move. They may be buying electricity from a neighboring business but still crazy.
I have a room reserved there for a couple nights on the 20th of April. I hope like hell they give the all-clear before then. Thanks for posting this, Sir.
Thanks DoubleE. I also hope things improve quickly but right now there will be some type of quarantine probably and it is effective starting today for all but necessary things like food, pharmacy, work, medical, etc.
You do such an excellent job of information, that I have to ask you this... What are your thoughts of bringing a shepherd from the states to Philippines? And what's her journey going to be like?
I live in Cebu...sent them a message asking if they are offering any discounts now on monthly rates they responded NO full price... Rooms would only be a good deal monthly if power was included but it isn't. I told them thanks but no thanks.
From what I've seen of Rod's videos, that layout is very similar to the studio and even 1 bdr condos around Cebu. Perhaps a few Sq. M larger, but not much
Thanks boogieman. Yes, there is just now news of a quarantine in Cebu City with only necessary travel allowed for food, medicine, work, etc.so this could be a very boring month or 2 or....
All bars are closed and they still aren't selling alcohol (drinking) in the stores. Lapu Lapu was selling liquor and many have gone over before the more strict quarantine.
"Generator Fee @ 85 Peso per hour (if incase of brownout)" 😂 That's 2,040 Peso per day. Seriously? I've never heard / read about a "generator fee" in a hotel.
You would think they would make better use of the space with the small fridge by sitting it on a cabinet with shelves or drawers instead of getting down on your knees to see into it.......I guess people just stack there luggage on top of the fridge...lol :)
👍🏻👍🏻’s up I vote Philippines to incorporate split air-con in all units. Check out ‘The Base’ a condo unit in Pattaya Thailand. It’s my dream condo units. Disclaimer: I’m not endorsing The Base it’s just a fantastic unit design.
It can depend on your country Fernando. I have used Remitly but they required a USA phone number to text me a code so now I use Xoom which is owned by Paypal and I haven't had any issues. I tried World Remit. They sent me $1000 and 2 minutes later cancelled the transaction. I called them and they wouldn't tell me why the cancellation.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 I agree with you. I used XE exclusively, because other sites require a U.S. phone number. XE does not, very fast also, if you transfer money to your Philippine bank you receive the money in your account faster than you can log on to your account. If you use U.S. dollars you can avoid their inflated exchange rate too.
Been there a couple of times, solid place. However, rooms small, some rooms has really bad wifi, while some has great, I had to buy data the last time i was there to get any internet connection. The neighborhood is a bit shady. But fairly close to robinson place, which is the smallest mall I have seen in philippines, but has one of the better food courts. I espically like the stand that sells a lot of different kind of meat stews. But rooms are clean, good ac, good shower and friendly staff, and i never seen a bugg there. If you like to party, it is also not that far from mango square. Overall I think it is a good place even if it has some issues. But if i would stay there again, i would ask them to put me in a room with good wifi.
You might be able to find such a deal Daniel. I have talked to a few habal habal drivers who pay about 100 pesos/day to rent the motorbike. 100 x 365 days is 36,500 pesos. You could probably buy a used unit for less.
Fantastic video rod.....actually, end of March. Travel and rooms will be very inexpensive....people here aren't moving around or very little movement....I'm in vermont next to new York and seems like we are going to have a 6month lil in life so to speak.....anyways thanks again, stay safe
Thanks David. We are living in "interesting" times and things will get worse before they get better I think, but they will get better eventually. Take care.
With the impact of Covid-19 on tourism, that hotel would probably let you bring two live chickens and a goat up to your room if you booked a month's stay... If that's your thing... Just sayin'... ;-))
IMO, that is not that great of a deal.. I have never seen this about the generator?? 85php per hour if you have a brown out?? Anyway, it looks like a nice place... Thanks for the video, Rod...
That is the first time I saw a charge for generator use during a brownout also Bruce and bad PR at the very least. The good news is that they seldom get brownouts but still quite odd.
Depending on your budget and requirements Gregory. Mandarin and Quest are nice hotels. Solinea is a condo you may find good deals at, but book early as January is Sinulog Festival in Cebu.
I saw a report in which a psychologist explained that what you are saying is the exact motive behind panic-hoarding behavior - you see other people doing it so you then think that you should be doing the same. Resist the urge or else your giving in to the irrational TP will NOT protect you from the Corona virus so there's no need to stock pile 128 rolls
Maybe, Cebu rental prices have gone up, exceedingly, over the past few years? The rooms, to me, seem really small, and no balcony, & a, per hour, "brown-out/genset surcharge", all for over $500usd,, is too much money.
My wife just sent me information saying the Cebu airport will be closing down over the next few days, and that ALL airports in the Philippines will be closing down. Filipinos (and most others) can still fly into Manila, but will be subject to a 14 day quarantine, at their own expense.
Thanks John. I just uploaded a video about the travel issues and it is already out of date a bit with news changing every few hours. There is now a quarantine in Cebu City with restrictions for only necessities like food, pharmacy, work, etc.
I seen were that sign said 1 month deposit (refundable upon checkout) ....I wonder if they would give that to me in writing, it seems refunds are few and far between here lol
Iradj Farahmand your best bet is to arrive in Cebu and book hotel for 2-3 days near Ayala mall and walk around the area asking prices in every condo you go to. This is what i did a year ago. You have to understand that condo that you will like i guarantee you it wont be advertised! Just walk ins are best way to find best deals and trust me all my friends here will tell you same thing!
Yuri Travels thank you so much for your advice, and I will do exactly what you recommend. But is coupe days enough to search for rentals? Is there any areas that you recommend and areas that I should avoid? I really appreciate your reply!!!
@@Myfilipinaqueenandpersianlion if you're already searching now, and meeting them after arriving. it might only take a day to find one (if you sacrifice 1 day just to roam around) i suggest you rent a motorbike before roaming around looking for a place to rent. piece of advice. ASK THE LOCALS. specially in the karenderia(eatery) they usually know the areas closest to them and could refer you to someone.
Yes, basically a hotel room Martin. Most hotels will give at least a 10% discount for longer stays but many also change rates and promos often depending on demand.

Great video, Rod! Your apartment/condo videos are very informative and helpful. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks Roger. It is a learning experience for me also.
Another good video Rod, looks pretty good value for the money , and will probably even get discount the way things are now the whole world is in panic mode. I’m back home now, but beginning to wish I had stayed there. Stay safe there Rod .
Thanks Brian. A quarantine just started in Cebu City so they don't want people out except for necessities. This could be a boring month or 2.
Rod,
Thank you for the information. They look very clean, modern and safe! VERY reasonable for $520.00 USD per month and no lease commitment. Good find!
Daniel
Thanks Daniel. I had walked by this place many times and finally stopped in.
Nice video rod. I trust u doing good. Be safe. Out there.
Thanks George. Trying to stay out of trouble.
Well done Rod, another good find.
Thanks James.
Good vid. Always look forward to them.
Thanks Mindsub.
It is a great place. I have stayed there for two months. Casa Verde just around the block. A nice restaurant. ATM close by. Little store downstairs. Elevator. Thanks Rod.
Thanks Scot. Casa Verde is one of my favorites also.
Thank you Rod for great great video, Now this is okay place for someone who dont care about swimming pool in his condo.
Thanks Yuri. I haven't been to Live Leak in quite a while so you reminded my of it.
This is really great information
Thanks Michael!

I really like those rooms. Especially after seeing the room that was cleaned. The price looks great too.
Thanks David. There should be lots of promos here and around the Philippines.
Thanks for the video! Stay safe and healthy. I was supposed to fly there March 26th. I think that I have to postpone a month.
Thanks James. I think some delay in travel may be a good idea at this time.
I have a room reserved there for a couple nights on the 20th of April. I hope like hell they give the all-clear before then. Thanks for posting this, Sir.

You do such an excellent job of information, that I have to ask you this...
What are your thoughts of bringing a shepherd from the states to Philippines? And what's her journey going to be like?
LOL. A German shepherd or a shepherd of sheep? Either way I don't have experience or knowledge about that Spurlin.
I live in Cebu...sent them a message asking if they are offering any discounts now on monthly rates they responded NO full price... Rooms would only be a good deal monthly if power was included but it isn't. I told them thanks but no thanks.
Interesting experience Kenneth. Maybe I drummed up lots of business and the demand is now there. I was told there was a 40% discount at that time.
I stayed there in 2017... i loved it
Thanks James.
This is one of my hotels on the list to stay in Cebu.
Nice video Rod..?
Thanks Marc. Yes, I am Rod.
Stayed at ABC previously and it's great for short stays. But there's no chance I can accept monthly stay in such a small unit and incomplete kitchen.
From what I've seen of Rod's videos, that layout is very similar to the studio and even 1 bdr condos around Cebu. Perhaps a few Sq. M larger, but not much
Thanks. Small works for some people but most westerners prefer bigger space. 18-25 Sq meters for most studios here.
Rod off the subject. Is the Coronas virus affect you yet. If so in what ways. Stay healthy and safe my friend
Thanks boogieman. Yes, there is just now news of a quarantine in Cebu City with only necessary travel allowed for food, medicine, work, etc.so this could be a very boring month or 2 or....
Casa Verde restaurant is behind this hotel on Lim Tiam Teng st.
Yes, I saw it there and I like Casa Verde Crzdbiker.
Good video..... is the 301 Ramos St open during the quarantine?
All bars are closed and they still aren't selling alcohol (drinking) in the stores. Lapu Lapu was selling liquor and many have gone over before the more strict quarantine.
"Generator Fee @ 85 Peso per hour (if incase of brownout)" 😂
That's 2,040 Peso per day. Seriously? I've never heard / read about a "generator fee" in a hotel.
LOL. I have never heard of that fee either lamberko and it is a bit of a PR screw up in my opinion.
yes generator can consume 2k pesos per day
Great prices 👍 Cebu is kinda price friendly
They are offering some good promos now Todd.
Looks great
Thanks Manuel.
You would think they would make better use of the space with the small fridge by sitting it on a cabinet with shelves or drawers instead of getting down on your knees to see into it.......I guess people just stack there luggage on top of the fridge...lol :)
Thanks Leonard and I agree that the fridge should be up off of the floor for ease of use.

I agree about the AC and I will check out your suggestion at The Base.
In your honest opinion which of the following is a better choice:
Xoom
TransferWise
Remitly
Thank you!
I've been having good luck using Share Money and World Remit. Competitive rates also.
I always had good service from WorldRemit, Good rates and low fees.
World remit is best for me.

Do you happen to know if you can rent a motorcycle long term -approx. 1 year?

This is a hotel, correct? They supply power for lights, WiFi? There no hot water?
This is a hotel and long term rentals also James.
Is there any restrictions on the amount of girls you can bring back to your room.
🤣... nice..
I max out after 3 per night but 21 per week is no problem!

Depending on your budget and requirements Gregory. Mandarin and Quest are nice hotels. Solinea is a condo you may find good deals at, but book early as January is Sinulog Festival in Cebu.
Rod I'll be honest I was not panicking. But damn when I see people buying everything it makes me think that I should be doing the same thing LOL
