In every traveler’s
heart, there’s always that urge to explore something new out of his/her passion
of traveling. So, if you’re making Cebu, Philippines as one of your island
destinations this year (or in the near
future), this post is for you.
THE RESORT AND LOCATION
Best Western Cebu
Sand Bar Resort is a newly opened hotel and resort in Metro Cebu. After their soft opening last March 6th,
2013, the resort starts to accommodate a number of guests, either day usage or with
overnight stay. It is situated in Wahing Street, Barangay Alegria, Cordova, Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines. You may refer to below maps as a guide in getting there. If you're departing from Marina Mall Mactan (nearby Mactan Cebu International Airport), it's like 15-25minutes drive (depends on the flow of traffic).

To get there via public transportation, you may take any multicab/jeep with 'Cordova' sign board and drop by Cordova crossing (as shown on below map) and get a ride via tricycle (inform the driver ahead that you're heading to Sand Bar Resort in Alegria, Cordova which is just few blocks away from the Barangay Alegria Gymnasium or Alegria Elementary School). With this, it will take around 30minutes ride (jeep then tricycle) if you're departing from Marina Mall or nearby Mactan Cebu International Airport (depends on the flow of traffic).
