Cebu is the traveler’s fantasy of a tropical island come true – balmy weather, pristine beaches, crystalline waters, and luxurious resorts with all the frills of modern living.The island-province of Cebu was where the Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan planted the Cross of Christianity in the name of Spain in 1521. But even before Cebu became the Occidental gateway to the Orient, it was already a popular entry point among Asian merchants.

Our website has been created to provide you with an instant list of quality hotels in your desired city without searching tirelessly through internet search engines. We have a direct link to the hotels own website where the reservation can be made and the middleman’s fees are avoided.

We cut out the time it takes researching your chosen hotels and also guarantee that the room rate you pay will be the hotels best price with no commission on top.

We hope you enjoy our website please let us know if there are any of your favourite hotels that we are not listing and we’ll get them listed for your next visit!

Directly Hotels was launched in 2010 by four hotel marketing professionals.

We are all great fans of independent hotels and know that the best booking for any hotel is one that comes directly to them without a middleman. It’s better for the hotel as they pay a lot less for it and they also have a direct communication with the client. It’s better for the client as they know they are getting the best rate possible and are dealing directly with the hotel with no middleman involved.

The simple purpose of Directly Hotels is to give an easy way for consumers to find and book direct with independent hotels. Without Directly Hotels consumers who want to book independent hotels direct at the hotel either have to trawl through search engine listings or find them on one of many hotel websites and then copy and paste the hotels name in the search engine to find its website; a long and painful process.

Directly Hotels takes that problem away completely. Consumers can view a list of great independent hotels then click straight through to their website for more information and to book.

For many people, autumn is the time of year when the nights get colder, the days get shorter, the leaves change color and the year heads rapidly toward the cold winter months.

The fall of the year is the time when the kids are heading back to school and anxious travelers are no longer dreaming of beach resort towns.

For the smart budget traveler, however, the autumn season offers some tremendous opportunities for lower prices, smaller crowds and an overall better vacation value.

The very items cited above make fall a great time for budget minded travelers to head to some of the best known resorts and enjoy lower prices on airfares, rental cars, food and hotel rooms.

Every vacation destination has its own high and low season, but the autumn of the year has the advantage of being the off season for both summer and winter destinations.

For instance, while winter is the high season for ski resort towns and other winter destinations, the mountain locations of these resorts often mean that skiing and other activities are available in late autumn, while prices for lodging, meals and rental cars are still much lower.

Likewise, resorts and travel destinations that enjoy great popularity in the summer months are still quite pleasurable, and often more so, in the fall of the year. For instance, autumn offers such benefits as cooler temperatures and fewer crowds in addition to lower prices.

The same restaurant at which reservations were impossible to come by in the busy summer months may suddenly be available in the fall, and that pricey summer hotel room may be quite affordable once summer has ended.

When looking for the best possible deal on fall travel, it is important to thoroughly research your particular destination. While fall is the off season for most locations, this is not true for every destination.

Be sure that there really are better values in the autumn season before booking your trip.

It is also important to check the weather, including average temperatures and average rainfall levels, for your fall travel destination. After all, lower autumn prices will do you no good if rain or uncomfortable temperatures ruin your long anticipated vacation.  Read more...
