One of the worst things any traveller could experience in Cebu is a layover, and the annoying time gap between a hotel checkout and the time of your departing flight, bus or ferr

Most of the time, you need to check out from a hotel or hostel, between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm noon and then your flight, bus or ferry is not for another 5 to 8 hours, well Cebu City as the solution the “The Cebu City Travellers’ Lounges” and there is two to choose from

At SM City Cebu and Robinsons Galleria Cebu Travellers’ Lounges you can take a shower, use the WIFI, store luggage, charge your gadgets, or just relax in the fully air-con seating area, inexpensive charges apply for each left luggage piece, and shower facilities at both Cebu City Travellers’ Lounge

There are left luggage facilities at both lounges, although your not permitted to leave your luggage overnight in Cebu City Travellers’ Lounges at SM, City Cebu and Robinsons Galleria Cebu, collect no later than 8:00 pm

Travellers’ Lounges at SM City Mall  adjacent to SM North Bus Terminal, and close to Cebu City Ferry Terminals, and Cebu City South Bus Terminal  (South Bus Terminal 3 miles – 4.8 km), transfer time varies depending on traffic congestion

At Cebu City Travellers’ Lounges at SM City Mall, Cebu and Robinsons Galleria, Cebu you may purchase ferry tickets for sea travel inside the lounge, although the lounges are a very short taxi ride away to Cebu City Port Authority, Piers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) Transfer by Jeepney

There are no direct Jeepney services that serve Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB), to or via Robinsons Galleria Cebu, SM City Cebu, Fuente Osmeña Circle, Mango Sqaure, Ayala Center-Mall and Terraces, Downtown Cebu City, Uptown Cebu City and Talisay City. There are indirect Jeepney services, on average you would be expected to change 2 to 3 times to Cebu City or vice versa, depending on your location or route. Very few international tourists will ride a Jeepney for Airport Transfer from Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) to Cebu City, simply because there not familiar with the complex Jeepney network and interchanging Brgy (village) or stops

There is just one reliable Jeepney Service Number MI-05A, serving Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) for shorter routes and all stops towards Cebu-Mactan Ferry Terminal

22 minutes, every 5 minutes (10 stops)

1. Timex Philippines Incorporated, stop here for Mactan Marina Mall and further Jeepney Services around Mactan island, and connections towards Parkmall, Reclamation Area, Mandaue City and Cebu City
2. The Bellavista Hotel
3. Gaisano Mactan
4. PLDT Telecommunications
5. Lapu-Lapu City PUJ Terminal,
6. Super Metro Gaisano Lapu-Lapu
7. Mantawe Road
8. B.M Dimataga St
9. Opon Plaza
10. Cebu-Mactan Ferry Terminal, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, the Philippines

However unless your destination is very near it’s not worth the hassle or effort for tourists, not to mention the inconvenience, extended journey time, space for luggage, or comfort, considering MyBus and Sugbo offer frequent bus services to or from Cebu City, directly outside Terminal 1 and 2 with modern seating and air-con at cheap prices (not 24 hours), therefore it’s far less appealing to ride a Jeepney from or to Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB)
