After the mysterious yet fun Camiguin odyssey, we reached Cagayan de Oro in high spirits for just a span of 2 hours. Thanks to the convenience of Paras Seacat, which costs about P400 per person per way but cuts the travel time by half! This ferry travels daily from Bohol to Camiguin and finally to CDO.
We arrived in CDO at 6:30 P.M. and immediately took the taxicab to Hotel Conchita. The hotel is just 3 minutes away from Macabalan Pier and just walking distance to market, surrounded by retail shops and food restaurants.
Although accessible to Divisoria, I suggest it would be nicer if you stay in Limketkai Center like Mallberry or Pearlmont for convenience and safety since these latter are just near hangout places and only have to cross the streets to catch the scene.
It was Saturday night, the perfect time to try CDO Nightlife. Cagayan de Oro has a night panorama to compete with the Live band & Acoustic Bars, Clubs and KTV bars in metro areas of Manila. With that, we were bound to choose between Night Café and Limketkai. We asked the hotel staff what could be the best place for us to hang out and they gave us unanimous answer: Limketkai Center since it would be safer for dressed up damsels like us minus the royal guards.
Night Café is preeminent every Friday's and Saturday's from 6:00 P.M. to 2:00 AM where stalls are built for shopping, dining and some music performances. If you’re not used meeting variety of crowds, then it may not be the best place to go. And there is what you call “The Site" in Limketkai Center, the Pride of Cagayan de Oro City, which is a superb spot to hangout, have a cozy dinner and coffee after. It's more like The Fort or Libis but Kagay-anon style.
Not wearing the typical high heels to match our party outfits did not lessen the poise. We headed to Rosario Arcade still in glam and strut our stuff to Candy's and Cafe Macumba in startling way, which were excellent venues to chill and chat with friends. However, we picked the one with best façade: Kyla’s Bistro! The foods served were superior, which cuisines were tempting and served with cheese; and the prices of cocktails like Margarita were reasonable. The majority of the crowd was young and vibrant, which we belong.
Kyla’s Bistro gave us the greatest ambiance: we proudly stayed in one of the artistic spheres outside the Bistro which can accommodate 12 to 15 people. This fine-looking spherical structure not only gave us a retro feel; but above all, the picturesque view was perfect for these two Manileñas to be the apple of the eyes for that night. Without exaggerating, the Kagay-anons were one of the nicest folks we ever met. They offered not only their golden smiles, but also their friendship and approached us with their helping hands. The rest was a beautiful history. ♥

Never been to Kyla Bistro yet but me and my friends were really planning to hang out there. I heard the ambiance there is nice so as what you said. Thanks anyway for sharing you experience in that place. More post.
Yes, their ambiance and crowd are great :) share us your story when you get there.
Currently, Kyla's Bistro is not anymore operating. It was bombed few years ago. The lot is now made as a pizza resto.
