What travellers are saying
- Lissette RNorth Bergen, NJ217 contributionsThis mall exceeded my expectations completely. The terrace was filled with a variation of Bonsai trees and an amazing ambiance.
Tons of restaurants to select to dine at. 4 floors of shopping/eating plus the terrace and I could have easily spent all day there.
I was not expecting something to this magnitude but I’m thankful I went. Free entrance must go through metal detectors to enter but I never once felt unsafe.
Lots of different places for children to play (my 4 year old loved them) and it was very reasonably priced.Written 27 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hosse SVästerås, Sweden160 contributionsIf you want a 360 view of Ceby city, this is it. Small entrance fee and another 50 pesos to access the roof top. A lot of restaurants that are expensive, as all tourist hot spots are.
Worth a visit!Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We spent around 30 minutes there and took a complete walk around the temple, enjoying its charm and serenity. The location is easily accessible via Grab, which makes the visit hassle-free and convenient.
For those without Wi-Fi access, it’s worth noting that taxis can charge outrageous prices—Grab is definitely the more affordable and straightforward option for getting back or continuing your journey.Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marty ..Cebu City, Philippines3,701 contributionsIt was very hard to get a decent photo / video , as everywhere within & outside the Temple of Leah were plenty of other tourists trying to get their holiday snaps.. as this Cebu travel destination was overly crowded
Nevertheless it’s interesting to check out this magnificent building .. plus the distance views overlooking Cebu are worth itWritten 31 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
