LYLIE HOTEL     Cebu, Philippines              www.lyliehotel.com

From the airport to Lylie Hotel:

1. White Taxi - They are by far the best option to choose in order to get to Lylie Hotel. They line up at the entrance of the domestic departure area, with trained dispatchers.

     To get to the white taxis, upon your arrival at domestic or international arrival areas: you have to go up a flight of stairs towards the domestic departure area entrance where they queu for customers.  Tell them that you want to go to Lylie Hotel at Hernan Cortes, near the Corner of A. S. Fortuna in Mandaue.  It will cost you around 160 pesos to get to Lylie Hotel. A tip of anywhere from 10 to 50 pesos is almost always welcome by the drivers.  If you need more assistance, there is a tourism office at the domestic terminal.   For quick calculation, white taxis in Cebu charge about  12 pesos/ kilometer with a flag down price of 40 pesos. 

2. Yellow Taxi (Airport) - They have a counter just outside the domestic and international arrival area. Cost is around 250 pesos to get to Lylie Hotel. 

WARNING: Some taxi drivers will try to steer guests towards other hotels which give them cash incentives for bringing customers in. Some enterprising taxi drivers waiting at the airport sometimes forget to turn their meters on which opens the rate to negotiation. *A helpful tip is never forget to tell the driver that you prefer 'taxi meter' only.*

 NEED HELP?  If you need any assistance, any rep of the Hotel Resort and Restaurant Association of Cebu (HRRAC)  are inside the arrival terminals ready to help.   Also the Land Transportation Regulatory Board (LTFRB) that regulates the taxi business is one of the most responsive government offices in Cebu.  You only have to remember either the big bold body taxi number or car plate number and call LTFRB at 032 2317466 or 2334428:  they can readily know the taxi operator and extend you their help.

3. Car Rental - There are car rental agents waiting outside the arrival area exit which will usually cost about 300 pesos one way to go to the Hotel, they usually rent out a Toyota Vios or Altis.  Just mention Lylie Hotel and they will know exactly where to take you.

 4.  Van Rental - If there are many persons in your party, you also have the option to rent a van which will cost 800 pesos.

5.  Jeepney from the airport - Do you want to experience your first jeepney ride right from the airport?  Are you travelling with no or very light luggage?  The Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) is only one of the few airports in the Philippines who thought of you:  by providing the colored Yellow Jeepney that waits  at the international departure entrance.  For 8 pesos, it brings you  from the airport to and from Marina Mall, about 2 kilometers away, where you can take another jeepney ride or taxi to your destination in Cebu.
