Asia - Cebu - ideas for a visit?

I'm planning to travel to Cebu later this year on primarily on business but will have a few spare days as well. Any ideas for a decent hotel ( Marriott looks ok ) & sight seeing ideas?

Welcome to Flyertalk!
I don't know what your budget might be or what you might be interested in looking at so here's a site that has lots of suggestions on where to stay and what to do:

There is a relatively new Radisson Blu in Cebu. The area that it is located in is not the best area of the city. If you are willing to stay further afield the Shangri La is good digs.

As for things to sight see ... [in no particular order]

Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral
Fort San Pedro
Chocolate Hills [Bohol - day trip]
Tarsier [day trip]
Statue of Lapu-Lapu

I recommend visiting the Golden Cowrie restaurant. There are a few locations around the city. I enjoyed my meal there.

Marriott is probably the best to stay as it lies in the cebu business park where business conference takes place. And its near to shopping malls and center of the city as well. Take a look at the information in this webpage. http://cebutravels.aisa
