Although the Philippines is a poor country, it is not without its pockets of wealth and luxury.
We stayed at some nice hotels for a few nights. Oddly enough though, instead of being a pleasant experience, our stay at the Radisson Blu Cebu, (a supposedly five star hotel), was marred by the snottiness and general poor attitude of the staff. That hotel also ripped us off when we tried to change a reservation. I would advise you to avoid any dealings with that place!
But the poor folk from Sweetie's village were almost to a person sweet and nice. (Yeah, there were one or two turkeys, but they don't count!) Why does the supposed possession of material wealth turn folks into jerks?

Unlike the jerks at the Radisson in Cebu, the folks who run the
Vines Bed and Breakfast in Molave are nice folks. If you're looking for a place to stay in Zamboanga del Sur, we recommend the Vines.

We also stayed at the
Royal Gardens Hotel in Ozamiz, which is also a pleasant place to stay.

After being treated horribly at the stupid Radisson Blu, when we returned to Cebu City we stayed at the
Express Inn, where we were treated very well.

The moral of this story is that, if you are visiting Cebu City, there are better places to stay than the Radisson Blu!
