Mactan-Cebu International Airport's Terminal 2 won the Grand Prize during the 2019 World Architecture Awards in Amsterdam for the Completed Buildings besting out Singapore's Changi Airport Jewel and Istanbul International Airport. It also won several international awards already including Best Airports in Asia-Pacific (for 10-20 million handling capacity category) three times already, first in 2016, second in 2018 and third in 2023. Other than that, its bar, The Cabin, likewise won the grand prize for Bar of the Year in Asia-Pacific Airport Food and Beverage Awards held recently in Dallas Texas in 2019. MCIA’s T2, along with the Incheon International Airport in South Korea, was named by the International Architecture Awards (IAA) as one of the 2019 International Architecture Awardee for Airports and Transportation Centers. So far, MCIA is the only airport in the Philippines that has been recognized and won international awards from global awarding bodies.

I totally agree Cebu Terminal 2 is one of the nicest in the world! Next time I go I am going check in a few hours early just to explore!

[@user-pn3io5oy3i]

Very nice my friend, as always chillin like a villain👍

[@user-bk9xs1xu7j]

I spent 3 days in the Radisson Blu back in June. Breakfast bar was on point. The shower had two different heads. After spending 2 weeks from kapatanga to Loreto, back to Cebu, that $405.00 price tag for three days, was totally worth the price 😂

[@huck944]

Love the timber look of the beams in the airport,simple effect but modern at the same time.

[@Elvin6219]

King Mark is the king of all players. You're gonna be a legend ✌️

[@localtime824]

WOW!!! Amazing Hotel King. And back in the Land of Smiles. So much stress haha. Enjoy! 👍😁

[@Genxxben]

I stayed there my first time in the Philippines. The girls that ran the bar on the roof are great. Going to stay there for a few days when i come back at Christmas time.

[@PhotoDaveJax]

I enjoy watching your travel experiences.

[@ScottDBloom]

Hey, I really enjoyed the video. Great material very beautiful photography. It is a very clear picture. Great work keep it up. Thanks happy Veterans Day my brother.

[@stevel1733]

I applaud your entrepreneurship. It looks like much effort.

[@CapoX19]

I stayed there 3 nights once when the ferry was canceled for three days due to weather. Yes, the breakfast buffet was excellent. That coffee /Starbucks cafe -type place across from the entrance is great. They have really good deserts. Perfect place to go if you want to get out of the hotel, but it is raining.

[@Filipino_Time]

I always fly into and out of Cebu. I hate the Manila airport experience and that’s international and domestic. Changi is my favorite airport and I absolutely love Singapore airlines. Do they still offer the steamed towels during the flight?

[@markg999]

Yea Cebu is the way to go..despise Manila.

[@Daveinasuitcase6371]

Looks a fantastic hotel! All that food was making me hungry!

[@Sipods]

It amazed me how Changi airport is totally carpeted. Was there last year enroute to Bali. As you said, many people sitting on the floor but imagine the fleas and bed bugs that could be lurking! No thank you, not the best material for an airport with millions of travellers passing through. I had an eight-hour layover so stopped at the airport hotel inside the terminal, it was like a shoebox for 150 USD and something I didn't notice when I booked, communal toilets and showers so never consider that option. Mind you, better than sitting on the airport floor. Thanks for sharing!

[@lionhearted1969]

That's the very reason why the designers of Mactan-Cebu Airport rejected the use of carpets on its floor as many had suggested during its planning and construction stage. So they opted instead custom-made tiles which depicts sandy beach, that echoes Cebu's reputation as a beach destination.

[@THEPAPASMURFTHEOG]

beautiful view from 15 stories up.. enjoy your time marcos!!

[@L4P-Monk]

Back in the kingdom my friend. Have a great time. I didn’t think there was a direct flight from Cebu to BKK. Bia Singh yen mak mak. Definitely the way to go. I find the 490 ml can content fits nicely into my yeti tumbler. 👍

[@shawnlee3997]

I stayed at BAI last year . Good for airport transfers. Good buffet.

[@mikeschneider6339]

enjoy n be safe

[@Barbara-tw2pb]

Hi Fantastic. Vlog. 🎉. I was feeling depressed this morning. But not any more after watching your vlogs. Thank you. 🙏

[@janetceniza8091]

# 2 for an American, the price was cheap for what you got. So close to what you need, CLEAN, pleasant staff, great food - beautiful to look at, if I didn't have a house in Cebu, I would stay there just from your video. I will let my friends know about this hotel.

[@safffff1000]

I like Park Center Mall across the street and they have about 5 atm's, love Thirty's Coconut Shakes there. Also just down the street is Cebu Westown Lagoon which has a massive pool with water slides for 200 p and rooms but not as nice as Bia

[@SimpleMansJourney]

I just stayed at the heritage in manila, it was awesome and great staff. Then I stayed at go hotel in bacolod, it shares a parking lot with robinsons mall, go hotels are owned by robinsons also. It was cheap and great location.

[@thaimaxcan]

Hell Marcos , just wondering why you took Scoot 2 flights going South to Singapore and then North to Bangkok. I prefer Philipinne Airline direct flight CEB to BKK. I know Scoot is cheaper but is is worth it. Looking forward to follow your stay in the Land od Smile.

[@Genxxben]

Roof top bar is up the stairs lol. Wasn't closed on Monday when I was there either.

[@BrianMahony-wx4fm]

Guitar James unless you are his accountant I would keep that opinion to yourself. Nice video bro. Styling yup you pay a little more but it’s worth it for how they respect and treat. That is lost here in the USA. Enjoy the trip. Hi to the kids and mama. Forest stay awesome Maria blessings on your beautiful heart.

[@kennydinthephilippines2655]

Nice hotel I stayed up there a couple of times and had dinner and drinks

[@Florida_007]

[@jimmyrichardson7448]

Hello from Aynor South Carolina. . I was there at changi airport in Singapore a few weeks ago to visit my fiance

[@OrientalExotics]

Great video Mark. Take the subway at Bangkok Airport, not taxi bro. Lol i agree Singapore Airport sucks . Cebu is great also

[@KennyInSubic]

That buffet likes wonderful. I recently stayed in the SEDA in IT Park. Nice room and view from the roof top bar but the breakfast buffet was a disaster. Thank for the tip and I will try the bai on my next trip.

[@mls515]

I stayed at the Seda Ayala a couple months back, former Marriott, I thought the breakfast buffet was decent there. I was the only white guy in there, lots of Chinese and Korean guests.

[@WestCoastChris138]

Man, what a spread, I think that’s the new #1 travel stop when headed to the airport. Hard to find a spread like that in the village lol 😂. Enjoy the trip Markaroo

[@MickyP49]

enjoying me a beer at the Hilongo sari sari. oh yeah!

[@RbAgsts718]

I saw some guy do a break down on how much money you’re Chanel makes. I thought it would be a lot more money. He was saying you started in 2012. I guess the money is good for the Philippines 🇵🇭. Good luck 🍀.

[@KINSEY1956]

Here's a suggestion why don't you go and visit Barry the bummer Jordan in jail there in Cebu? He needs to talk to somebody from the south that speaks his language

[@sunnydazz7]

Enjoy it's very 😎NICE👍🏻

In the PI...never give your ATM or credit card for deposit. Hell no..... Just give the cash deposit. Much safer.

[@janetceniza8091]

her husband speaking age 80 - I hate breakfasts like that because I can't eat enough. Don't know where to start, don't know when to stop.

[@aqaratenaaqarleban4724]

Geat wonderful video what is the name of the hotel in Cebu for our next stay Enjoy your trip Viewing u from iloilo city. 😊

[@lionhearted1969]

It's BAI Hotel. It's located in Mandaue City, not in Cebu City. Bai is a local Cebuano term of endearment for 'friend', 'pal', and can be used to either sex.

[@scotfree8363]

That buffet used to have free beer on tap.😀

[@vtech920]

You are living like a King!

[@inka87871]

Wad up, King Mark, you living large you must be having lots hater now that the life of Royalty ✌️

[@Whosurdaddy71]

You can tell when someone has been in the Philippines a while when they chew with their mouth open and slop their gums 😂

[@robertv.7924]

Expanding on that....if that bothers you, don't get into a serious relationship with a pinay who eats that way. You will never change her, and she will be insulted if you mention it too many times.

[@lionhearted1969]

Clark Airport's design is a poor copycat of MCIA. It's only because the government wanted the builder (GMR-Megawide) to also use the same glulam (glue-laminated) timber that MCIA but didn't want to pay extra. So, to work around with the budget at hand, the builder simply gave in to the whims of the government officials (Tugade and his cohorts) and came out with a poor version. Poor Clark Airport, it doesn't even look an international airport inside because of the absence of international shops operating there.

[@leadaltondalton9535]

What is the name of this hotel?

[@petejones9916]

I see all the beautiful restaurants and hotels but where are all the people? Huge buffet but no customers. Whats up with that?

[@inka87871]

that's how they pay their employees and their families they get eat for free.🤣

[@lionhearted1969]

Being a secondary airport (next to NAIA) MCIA doesn't have as many flights as the main airport. MCIA connects to more than 30 international destinations but most of them operate during late afternoon till dawn. By the time sun comes up, flights become less frequent.

[@paulshamblin6260]

Beats out the Conrad!

[@shawnlee3997]

Dinner buffet has free San Miguel draft beer😊 unlimited

Why doesn't the wife travel with you to enjoy some of this? Or maybe the question is why don't you LET the wife travel with you?

@Nora1956 Maybe so Nora, but be careful of what you ask for. Once the Dems ring that bell, there is no going back Nora, it opens the door wide open for Republicans to go after the true criminals. Trump will have plenty of presidential company in prison. Is that what you want for our country? Like I said, be careful what you ask for.
