Hi I'm looking for a bit of advice, tips or any help really. I'm a uk expat who's lived in Thailand for 20 years, I've never visited the Philippines but I'm considering doing a few weeks a couple of times a year. I'll be coming over for April and I'm currently looking at Airbnb places, one of which is about 20/25 minutes from the airport on lapu, near the beach and and not far from somewhere called crab island i think. I'm not looking for girlie bars and the like but I do like socialising and I would like expat type bars, restaurants etc so my question is really would this be a suitable area for me for 3 or 4 weeks? I like the beach, love my sports ( so Internet speed would be important ) I don't mind my own company but I wouldn't want to be isolated.

Anyway thanks for reading, if you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Try the Sports Bars of which there seem to be a few in Lapu Lapu although I have never been in one there. Back in May/June I was staying in Cebu City and went into a Sports Bar called Billy's which was near my hotel and not far from the Ayala Mall. Plenty of Ex Pats in there from all around the world UK/US/Germany/Denmark/Australia/etc. Plenty of sports shown on the big screens, free pool table, decent food, good service and a good atmosphere. The bar was not in the girlie bar district and easy to make friends over a drink and game of pool.
