+1 rep point For excellent write up on the one major city I missed.
Whoever runs the Marco Polos is smart because similar to what you saw, their Cebu location was opulent, with very attractive, genuinely friendly staff in cool colorful uniforms. The female staff was so friendly I started chatting a little more deeply to a couple staff about what her exact job was, etc, and was thinking of gaming them but I was almost always with a girl, but looking back like you I think it would have been good move.
I see the giggling of women there is a mostly good thing-- they are living in the moment in a good way and excited to get the attention of an exotic male ( who can do Ironman's!) and instead of responding defensively with suspicion they cover their embarrassment with laughing.
Can you comment on
--how you felt the level of air pollution there?
--recommended hotels in the island spot you went to? Not quite clear if you stayed over there.
