Hotels in Cebu, Philippines

Cebu is an island province in the central Philippines, with a tropical climate that stays warm year-round-think 77-95°F (25-35°C)-and a dry season from November to May that's perfect for diving with sea turtles at Moalboal's Sardine Run. It's famous for Magellan's Cross, a 16th-century Christian landmark in Cebu City, and for thrills like canyoneering through Kawasan Falls or swimming with whale sharks off Oslob. Rainy months from June to October mean fewer tourists and cheaper stays, giving you a quieter chance to explore the historic Fort San Pedro or hop between islands like Bantayan.
