I was there for a month just left for Las Vegas 3 days ago. I enjoyed walking that whole area in the early mornings before the sun is up. Nice place 👌 great video.
Thanks for sharing Lee.
I spent a month at 8 Newtown. Beautiful view, everything convenient and not too expensive.
Rod gee it has developed a lot since I last saw it, can't wait to see it again I am positive it will be a super place to be and base oneself from... thank you for a great no nonsense video
I did a video here many years ago and saw the plans in the sales office so it is good to see things finally going forward Alan. The beach and retail area should add a lot to the area.
Thanks for sharing impormision
I'm visiting Cebu/Mactan in August '24, and on video Mactan has me definitely intrigued. It feels like it has a laid back vibe, lots of nice amenities with more coming, and as you stated, you can always go to IT Park, etc if you're willing to do the drive. Thanks for this video.
Yes, interesting area that is still developing Craig.
Thanks You professor for this detailed educational video. After watching we will be renting a unit for the months of Nov through Dec this year. Hope Mega World sends you a few Pesos for your hard work.
Thanks Sam. No compensation for any of these videos actually. I am lucky to make just a few pesos from youtube ads on some videos.
Thanks for the Mactan tour!
Thanks for coming along James.
Excellent coverage...thanks so much...that's my place of choice.
It is interesting to see this development grow David.
When my ship comes in... that would be
a wonderful start for a permanent vacation
I bought a house in modena mactan 10 years ago. Sold it after a few months. I can't bear the extreme heat there.
Developing is really unbelievable there!
I continue to see a lot of changes over the last 7 years Dennis.
Thanks for the video Rod, I booked an apartment at C suites a few weeks ago at Newport to have a feeling what it would be like to live there. Conclusion after one week is that they need to do something about the materials they used, the balcony cage for the airco unit for example was completely rusting to a point that it looked kind of dangerous. Also I was not impressed with the hardware used in the bathroom it felt very fragile the only plus was that there was a Japanese automated toilet. Also at one point I was preventing certain areas where the real estate office was (at the entrance when you enter Newtown next to Mac Donald) the reason why was because each time they saw me especially one of them was desperate to sell a rent to own, even ran to me from the other side of the road and one day screamed from a distance if he could have my phone number,.. I think in perhaps 5 years from now Mactan Newtown area would be an interesting option to live when the surrounding projects are finished..
Thanks for sharing your experience Michael. I have lived in 6 condos in 7 years and not impressed by the quality of plumbing hardware and furniture which is often particle board which doesn't stand up to the humidity here.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 yes would never buy in Philippines. Have you been to Thailand? A lot of their construction and materials are very nice
Wow I'd like to see this place someday & IT PARK & THE WATERFRONT HOTEL AND CASINO
You will get your chance in a couple of weeks Michael.
Thanks for the blog about Mactan Newtown. Good to get some insite into the overall plan. I'm here in One Pacific Residence now. Leaving in about a week. I could have gotten you into the beach Rod. I have gone there often since they opened. I've only seen it a little crowded once, on a weekend. Otherwise I usually have most of it to myself. I go there mainly to swim. The gaurds are concerned I'm swimming too far. I actaully like to swim for exercise. Anyway as for the Mactown Newtown development. I'm kind of waiting and seeing how it develops before I would commit to anything long term here.
Thanks Mike. Everything was put on hold for the last 2 years and now they are going forward again so it will be interesting to see the progress.
Thanks for the great review of Mactan Rod. I now know the location of New Town on the island, and more about the area. It’s definitely somewhere I plan to at least visit next trip…whenever that is. I see Thailand are even dropping their pre departure test now, so virtually every restriction has gone now. Come on Philippines, keep up.
Cool, thanks Brian! Interesting to see this development grow.
My Cebu real estate agent moved out of a Mactan condo because it has structural water issues > she said she would not recommend to rent or buy in that location.
Interesting Mr Macau. I have had different issues in each of the 6 condos I have lived in here so there are no guarantees.....unless there are. I find maintenance and management do not react quickly to issues in general here.
Your channel has lots of videos on condos in Cebu and surrounding areas, they’re very well done.
Sometimes you give the prices for rent or purchase.
My question is with the obvious high vacancy rates and abundance of inventory. Do you see any of the “monopoly” developers reducing the prices? Obviously the rentals are much less than pre-CV19.
Some foreigners are staying and renting for really low rents for really nice condos but they also say that the buildings are almost vacant and you can look at the buildings at night and only see very few lights on.
What’s is your perspective?
Thank you!
The PH is losing another "high season" by continuing with restrictions so 10's of thousands of units will remain empty until late next year. Many developers are trying to hold the prices but offering various incentives to buy. It varies by property and location.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 I guess it’s a waiting game as demand remains low and inventory high. In the meantime the cost of building materials raise as well as interest rates. Something going to “burst”
Good drive around
Megaworld has a lot top notch master community projects.
Sounds good to have more museums in Cebu.
That might become comparable to Makati Ayala area and BGC global city.
Hope it will be done on time.
A tram would be great getting there.
SM, Ayala, and Megaworld have deep pockets to fund rapid bus or a tram.
Interesting thoughts. Megaworld is also "modernizing" the Carbon market and fish market and plan to have a ferry from there to the airport access/vans on Mactan Island so more to come I am sure.
watching from hawaii. thank you advertising the country. i know there's improvements. they are trying to keep up! better than manila area!
Mactan Newtown Beach Resort and Mactan Newtown with Ocean View, are they both the same? I'm curious cuz we are going to book the Mactan Newtown with Ocean View.
Would be interesting to see the developments in the four cities (Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Cordova) in five years.
I have seen many changes in 7 years so many more coming AR ES.
Rod great information, it’s looking better than ever and will be a terrific place. i believe there is a transport hub right there so can go anywhere……
Thanks Alan. There are a lot of buses and jeepneys that stop at the entrance area and taxis are also quite plentiful in the area.
I had a quick trip back to Cebu last month and stayed at the Savoy Hotel (2:00), can recommend.
Thanks for the info. I stopped in their a couple of months ago asking to do a video and they put me off saying they would "call me" when they had time.
This is a area I could see myself living in as a home base.
It is an interesting growing area Tim.
Rod, in Mactan Newtown is there public Jeepney or bus stops by in the area in front or near the condos? Looks like you will need a motorbike or a car to live there.
There is a bus and PUV area at the entrance and lots of taxis available also Jon.
👍✅🙀✅👍
Many thanks Mr Macau!
I gave up trying to find a beach in Cebu city so I travelled to Moalboal and went White beach 30 pesos entrance fee per person.
The only nice beaches in Cebu metro area are the nicer resorts on the east side of Mactan island and they ship in the white sand.
I had two week business trip and stayed at Shangri La Mactan in 2002, it was my first trip to Cebu. Got food poisoning from a mojito at the hotel bar, it had to be the ice. Wasn’t impressed with the hotel or the tiny man-made beach, but I liked the vibe around Mactan island. Beaches, no.
I have not been to Shangri La yet so need to get over there soon. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for another good video. Question: How long will it take for me to get utilities turned on, electric, water, internet?
Good question and I do not have the answer Mike. If you are going to rent, ask your landlord how they have it set up. If you are buying, contact the utility, internet companies for scheduling.
Which condo is best for upscale living, one Manchester or one pacific?
Thanks 🙏🏽
Good question Fary but I am not sure which on you would prefer. I might prefer One Pacific.
Which condo in Mactan has the best pool for long lap swimming?
Not a bad idea to make a Laguna at Newtown so their beachclub is soft opening yet? Because last month i was there the guards didn’t even let me walking around there just after these newtown condominiums.
There will be a lot of changes in the next year or 2 Olijf.
I think the best sights to see are at Ayala.
Ayala Business Park and Mall has its advantages Rick.
Interesting area rod, I'll be there soon. Would like to get condos in mactan and cebu city IT park.ill call you to hook up with you rod.be safe c u soon!

Stay in touch!
How much construction noise if renting a condo in mactañ Newtown?
Good question Bob. I guess it would depend on if you are facing the construction or not. The times I have been in the area, I have heard very little but it is obviously going on in some locations.
Are these building rated against earthquakes?
I usually here 8.2 as the build standard.
bought a condo near newtown...presale
Cool! Enjoy.
It sad that they have this development, now only rich and tourist can get in the beach as you can see you can no longer get in like it was before you have to pay to get the bracelet. Nature is destroy for profit not only in the Philippines but all over the world!
it's a strange island because it don't have any proper beaches 🤔
what's happened to hello and welcome to the Philippines intro.
LOL! I had to go back and check and you are correct Trevor.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 not very often i am right world first.
Interesting and growing area...still , and perhaps for that reason I would not like to live in that area. :)
It is much smaller than IT Park Leo. I have read they are starting to clamp down on POGO'S and some of them take up office and residential space here so that will have some effect here and around the PH.
rod, im in cebu, u wanna meet bos 4 a coffee, ?
