Cebu is a narrow tropical island in the Philippines that is surrounded by 167 smaller islands. The island's capital, Cebu City, lies to the east and is home to a majority of the island's residents. Tourist draws include Cebu's nine golf courses, scuba diving sites, 1,000-meter mountain spines and the plentiful fishing and beaches. The city is large enough to support a number of cheap hotels for visitors on a budget.
