Cebu's Luxury Pinnacle: 4BR La Mirada Condo (12th Floor, Breathtaking Views!)
Cebu's Luxury Pinnacle: 4BR La Mirada Condo - My Honest, Messy, And Surprisingly Awesome Take! (Breathtaking Views Included!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from experiencing the 4BR La Mirada Condo on the 12th floor in Cebu City, and let me tell you…it’s a rollercoaster! Forget those sterile, over-polished reviews; here's the unvarnished truth, with a dash of SEO sprinkled on top. (Because, you know, gotta get those website clicks!)
First Impressions: The View…OH. MY. GOD.
Seriously, one of the breathtaking views is the most crucial element. Walking into that spacious condo, the first thing that slams you in the face (besides the glorious air conditioning, thank heavens!) is the panoramic vista. The city sprawls below, shimmering in the sunlight. I swear, I spent a good 20 minutes just staring. The views alone might be worth the price of admission. Seriously impressive.
Accessibility - A Mixed Bag (and I mean that literally)
Wheelchair accessible? Well, let’s just say this: the building claims to have facilities for disabled guests. However, I wasn't testing this myself, so I can't give a definitive answer. Call ahead and really grill them. The important thing is do they actually deliver on these promises
Elevator: Essential, and yes, they have one. (Phew!)
Cleanliness & Safety - Feeling Safe-ish
Okay, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I always scrutinize the sanitation situation. I was happy to see they were using Anti-viral cleaning products at least, and there was hand sanitizer everywhere. They also boasted about professional-grade sanitizing services and room sanitization opt-out available,. So, they're trying to be careful. But, I didn’t see any evidence of sterilizing equipment (like UV wands or anything fancy), but I did see the usual fire extinguisher and smoke alarms so that's a plus.
Rooms & Amenities - Living the Dream (Or at least a Very Comfortable Version of It)
Available in all rooms? Here we go. Air conditioning? Yes, and thank the gods! The humidity in Cebu can be brutal. Free Wi-Fi? Double yes! And it's actually decent speeds. Free bottled water…check. Coffee/tea maker… check. But hey, I didn't see Additional toilet in the 4 bedroom condo, but there's separate shower/bathtub!! I spent a lot of time soaking in the tub!
Internet Access - LAN, wireless, all good I needed to get online, and, yes, there's Internet access – wireless and even Internet access – LAN if you need it. I'm not sure what the Internet services offered are, but I was okay using my mobile hotspot for a bit, which worked well..
Other Perks: Bathrobes and slippers are a nice touch. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in, and the sofa was perfect for lounging. The in-room safe box provided peace of mind.
Let’s Talk Food, Glorious Food!
Breakfast: They offer Asian breakfast and Western breakfast, and Breakfast [buffet]. I opted for the buffet a couple of times. Not the best buffet I've ever had, but at least there was something, and it did the trick to power up for the day.
Restaurants, Bars and Snacking Restaurants on the property. While I didn't eat at any of the Restaurants, the fact that they're available is great.
24-hour Room Service Now that is a luxury.
Things To Do & Relax - Trying (and Failing) to be Zen
Pool with view: The swimming pool looked AMAZING, just gorgeous and I wanted to go and relax in it, but unfortunately, I ran out of time to spend.
Fitness center & Spa: There is a Fitness center which looked well-equipped, and the Spa (or Spa/sauna) offered a range of treatments like a Body scrub or Massage, and a Foot bath.
Services & Conveniences - The Good, the Bad, and the “Hmm…”
- Concierge: Helpful. A life-saver for finding my directions.
- 24-hour front desk: Always a win.
- Luggage storage: Yes! Essential for travelers.
- Daily housekeeping: They kept things tidy, though they snuck in a weird time.
- Taxi Service: Is offered, and the driver, I was a bit late getting back to the Airport, I had a bit of a panic attack, but they had me back at the plane just as I was about to be left behind.
- Everything else: Lots of business facilities, including Meeting/banquet facilities. I didn't use any of them.
My Quirky Observations (And a Bit of a Rant!)
Okay, so it wasn’t perfect. I wished the daily housekeeping didn’t arrive at 8 AM. And maybe the coffee could be a little stronger. And while the happy hour at the bar was tempting, I never actually made it. But honestly? These are minor quibbles compared to the sheer “wow factor” of that view.
- Staff Training: The staff seemed friendly and, for the most part, competent. I got the impression they were trained in safety protocol, given the current situation.
The Bottom Line: Should You Book This La Mirada Condo?
ABSOLUTELY, YES! Especially if you appreciate a killer view, spacious living, and modern amenities. If you're looking for a luxurious jumping-off point for exploring Cebu, this is a solid choice. Just remember to confirm the accessibility aspects if that's a crucial requirement for you.
My Honest Rating: 4 out of 5 stars (deducting one for the early housekeeping!)

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, perfectly-packaged travelogue. This is the messy, glorious, chaotic reality of trying to experience Cebu from a 12th-floor condo in La Mirada Residences. Let's see if I can actually remember it all… because, honestly, after a few days in the Philippines, the days start to blur into a delicious, hazy cocktail of sun, humidity, and… well, let's just say "adventures".
The Cebu Condo Chronicles: La Mirada Residences, 5, 2 Lux Condos, 4BR, 12th Floor – Let the Games Begin (and End in Laundry Piles)
(Day 1: Arrival & Overwhelmed Delight – A symphony of "Wow" and "Where's the Toilet Paper?")
- Morning (But What Time is it, Really?): Arrived at Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Jet lag is a beast. Customs was surprisingly smooth, which, of course, lulled me into a false sense of security. Finding our pre-booked transfer was an early test of patience. Apparently, "Near the Starbucks" means… well, apparently, it means anywhere within a five-block radius. Which is fine, until you're sweating buckets and feeling like a bewildered walrus. Finally, we found the guy. His smile was worth the wait.
- Quirky Observation: Filipino hospitality is a superpower. Seriously. They're genuinely happy to help, even when you're clearly a flustered idiot.
- Afternoon: The Condo Reveal! Taxi ride through Cebu City. The vibrancy! The chaos! The jeepneys! I stared, slack-jawed. Then… La Mirada. The building itself looked a bit… well, like a giant, clean Lego block. Stepped into the 12th-floor condo and… WOW. Panoramic views! Seriously, breathtaking. That, and aircon blasting freezing air in a way that felt borderline apocalyptic. Found our (very spacious) room.
- Imperfection Alert: Of course, we discovered that our "fully equipped kitchen" was missing a crucial element: a decent can opener. Seriously, how am I supposed to conquer the local canned goods without a proper weapon?
- Emotional Reaction: Initial excitement quickly gave way to a minor panic attack. Where’s the toilet paper? Do they have room service? Do I have enough sunscreen? (Spoiler alert: I did not bring enough sunscreen.)
- Evening: Dinner & the Great Karaoke Debate. The first night, we walked to a restaurant recommended by the concierge (who was lovely, by the way). The food was, in a word, delicious. Sizzling sisig, fresh mango shake, and the best lechon I've ever tasted in my life!
- Anecdote: We ended up next to a table of people with a karaoke machine. It started off innocently enough. Then someone started singing a song I didn't know, and it got messy and loud. I will never listen to the song again.
- Opinionated Language: Karaoke is a national past-time. Some can sing. Others (like the guy in the restaurant) should be banned from ever touching a microphone.
(Day 2: Island Hopping & the Great Sea Urchin Incident… Don't Ask)
- Morning: Boat Ride Bliss? Early start for an island hopping trip! The boat ride was gorgeous. Crystal-clear turquoise water, the sun kissing my face, that incredible tropical air. Until. I got seasick, and my head was killing me. So, not so great.
- Strong Emotional Reaction: Regretting eating the entire breakfast buffet!
- Afternoon: Snorkeling (and Regret). Snorkeling was a whole other adventure. Fish! Coral! Stunning! Then I may have accidentally touched a sea urchin. (I told you not to ask.) The pain was… well, let's just say it involved a lot of whimpering and a very grumpy doctor.
- Stream of Consciousness: Why didn't anyone tell me about the sea urchins? The tiny needles… they’re the devil’s needles. Now, I'm left with itchy bites. This trip is starting to be a disaster.
- Evening: Rooftop Bar & the Sunset of My Dreams. Decided to salvage the day. Went to a rooftop bar back in town that was recommended. The sunset was incredible. Ordered a margarita, felt a bit better. The music selection was… questionable, but the view was worth it.
- Natural Pacing: Felt like a normal person.
- Messier Structure: Still, those urchin needles though…
(Day 3: City Exploration & the Chocolate Hills… of Cebu?)
- Morning: Exploring Cebu City. Hired a driver for the day (best money ever spent). Visited the Basilica del Santo Niño (beautiful, even if you aren't religious), Magellan's Cross (crowded, but historic), and Fort San Pedro (surprisingly charming). The traffic was an absolute nightmare.
- Doubling Down on Experience: The feeling of history dripping from every corner of the city was awesome. This place is amazing.
- Afternoon: The "Chocolate Hills" of Cebu? Our driver tried to take us to see some “Chocolate Hills” nearby. Turns out, the ones he knew of were more like… slightly lumpy hills. Not even in the same league as the Bohol ones. But hey, the drive was scenic, and the local food stalls along the way were amazing.
- Rambles: Maybe I should have just stayed in the air-conditioned condo… or maybe I will book a plane ticket to Bohol.
- Evening: Dinner & the Laundry Monster. Back to the condo. Ordered takeout. Started to tackle the mountain of laundry that had somehow materialized in all of 72 hours. Realized the washing machine was… well, let's just say it required heroic levels of troubleshooting.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: Utter, pure, exhaustion.
(Day 4: Relaxation & Departure – Farewell, Cebu! (and the Laundry Pile)
- Morning: Pool Day. (Finally!) Spent the whole morning by the pool. Actually, it was pretty awesome.
- Afternoon: Last-Minute Souvenir Hunt & Airport Chaos. Last-minute shopping. Tried to avoid the tourist traps. The airport was as crazy as the last day.
- Evening: Departure. Goodbye, Cebu! You were… eventful to say the least. The good, the bad, and the sea urchin-related… well, let's just leave it at that.
- Rambles: Must remember to bring extra toilet paper next time. Maybe a can opener. And definitely more sunscreen. And less stress.
- Messier Structure: The experience was… chaotic, and I'm not sure I would do it again. But, the food was worth it.
Final Thoughts:
La Mirada Residences? Good base camp. Cebu? A rollercoaster. Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'm bringing a hazmat suit, a translator, and a serious commitment to getting enough sleep. And maybe… just maybe… a sea urchin repellent.

Cebu's Luxury Pinnacle: 4BR La Mirada Condo (12th Floor, Breathtaking Views!) - FAQs (Because, Seriously, You Have Questions)
Okay, the view...is it REALLY that good? I'm skeptical.
Alright, alright, I get it. "Breathtaking Views!" is a cliché, right? But listen, I've lived in some… questionable apartments in my day. Picture a window view of a brick wall. So, when I say the view from the 12th floor of La Mirada… it's legitimately *jaw-dropping*. One morning, I swear, the sunrise painted the sky with hues I didn't even *know* existed. I nearly tripped over my cat (who, for the record, also seemed impressed) just staring out the window. Seriously, the photos don't do it justice. You’ll be spending WAY too much time just… staring.
**Anecdote Time:** Remember my first coffee? I went out on the balcony, thinking “Alright, let’s plan the day!” Two hours later… I’d just been staring at the boats bobbing in the ocean. No plans. Just… blissful procrastination. My productivity took a nosedive, but my stress levels plummeted. Worth it?
Four bedrooms? Do I need that much space?
Maybe, maybe not. Here's the deal: Four bedrooms means options. You could have a guest room, a home office, a yoga studio (yes, I tried that!), or… a room dedicated solely to your extensive collection of… rubber duckies (judging myself here). Even if you’re just a couple, that extra space is *amazing*. Think built-in separation when your partner’s watching something incredibly boring on TV, or a dedicated space for your hobby, or… just the sheer luxury of not feeling crammed.
**Imperfection Confession:** Okay, let's be honest. I *slightly* underestimated the cleaning involved. It's a lot of space. But, hey, that’s what housekeepers are for (which the condo *likely* offers and I certainly recommend. I miss mine). More space also means possibly losing stuff. I'm still searching for my favorite pen. Somewhere in the 4 bedrooms.
What about the LOCATION? Is it convenient?
Convenient? Yeah, pretty much. Cebu is a bustling city, so "peace and quiet" are relative. But La Mirada is strategically located. You're close to shopping malls (hello, retail therapy!), restaurants (hello, food coma!), and the airport (hello, escape to a tropical paradise!). Traffic can be a beast, which is the truth. But grab a Grab (ride-hailing service) and embrace the chaos. It's part of the charm!
**Quirky Observation:** The people-watching from the lobby is top-notch. You can see all kinds of characters come and go. Always a surprise. Sometimes, I swear, the security guards know more about my life than I do. "Good morning, Ma'am! Shopping again, are we?" Ugh, the judgment.
Okay, the "luxury" part... what does that *actually* mean? Like, is there a butler?
A butler? Maybe. It depends on the specific offerings of the unit you're looking at renting. But "luxury" means high-end finishes, likely a well-equipped kitchen (I NEED my coffee machine!), and potentially a gym, pool, and other amenities. Think comfort. Think convenience. Think… not having to deal with questionable plumbing. I'm talking, generally speaking, about a better experience. Not having a butler, probably. More than the amenities themselves, it's the feeling. It’s the *relief*. It's the sensation of finally being somewhere… truly nice.
**Emotional Reaction:** I did have a minor freak-out when the air conditioning in one of the rooms went bust. "Luxury" kind of falls apart when you’re sweating in your sleep. But the maintenance team fixed it fast! So, *mostly* smooth sailing. But… that initial hour of panic? Ugh, brutal.
Is it noisy? City living, you know…
Alright. The noise… it varies. You're in the city, so you'll hear some traffic. Horns. The occasional karaoke serenade (that's a Cebu thing. Embrace it!). But the 12th floor helps. You are usually safe from the biggest blares of the street. And, honestly? I found it less noisy than some other places I've lived. It's not exactly a silent retreat, but it's manageable. And the view… well, that tends to drown out most of the noise anyway.
**Messier Structure/Rambles:** It's more about the overall vibe. Is it relaxing? Yes. Is it perfect silence? No. Is traffic an endless siren song? At times. But the convenience is key. I'd take a bit of noise for the location any day. And if you're a light sleeper, invest in some earplugs. (Or, you know, a really loud white noise machine. Which I did. And it worked.) Finding the right balance is the trick. This condo leans heavily on "good". That's my opinion.
What about parking? Is parking a nightmare in Cebu?
Parking in Cebu… Yeah, it can be a bit of a challenge, especially during peak hours and in certain areas. But at La Mirada, or any luxury complex, parking is usually available. I'd assume it will be a designated spot, which is a *huge* win. Finding parking on the street is a fight. And trust me, when that tropical downpour hits, you'll be eternally grateful for a covered spot. I once spent 20 minutes circling a mall parking lot during a monsoon. Never again.
**Stronger Emotional Reactions (Good or Bad):** Honestly? *Parking* nearly ruined a perfectly good day. Waiting, circling, the little dance of hopeful desperation as you spot a car pulling out. Parking is a battle! So if this condo has a guaranteed spot? That's a huge score. It might even be the deciding factor for some of you. I know it would be for me, especially after that monsoon incident. The rage, the frustration...pure, unadulterated parking fury! Thank goodness for designated spaces. My blood pressure actually goes down just THINKING about it!
Is it worth the price tag?
Look, luxury ain't cheap. And a four-bedroom condo in a prime location? You're not going to be finding it on a pauper's budget. But is it *worth it*? That depends on your priorities. If you value space,Smart Traveller Inns
