U.S. citizens traveling to Cebu must have a valid U.S. passport with at least six months of validity remaining from the date of arrival in the Philippines.

Be sure to check with the Philippine embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date entry requirements before your trip.

Question

IS THERE TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED TO THE CEREMONY?

No, Shangri-La Mactan Resort & Spa is not an all-inclusive resort. While the hotel offers a range of dining options, activities, and amenities. Meals, drinks, and some services are not included in the room rate. We recommend checking with the resort directly for information about available packages or dining options during your stay.

Question

HOW DO WE GET AROUND CEBU?

Answer

Taxis and Grab (the local ride sharing app similar to Uber). Grab is a cheaper alternative and safe for tourist. If you plan on exploring, it’s easy to arrange transportation through your hotel/resort. Hotels also offer shuttle services for group outings or excursions. Traffic can be intense-especially in Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu City. Rush hour congestion is common, so it's best to plan extra travel time when heading anywhere.

Question

WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE IN CEBU IN JANUARY?

Answer

January and February are among the coolest months of the year. Temperatures are around 75F to 88F. Cebu’s coastal location provides sea breezes that offer a slight cooling effect. We still recommend bringing a handheld fan to help stay comfortable during outdoor events.

Question

WHAT CURRENCY IS USED IN CEBU?

Answer

The official currency of Cebu is the Philippine Peso (PHP). Most major hotels, restaurants, and shops accept credit cards, but it’s always good to have some local currency on hand for smaller purchases or in more remote areas. Always choose Philippine pesos (the local currency) for the best exchange rate with credit cards.
