Hilton Cebu Resort and Spa

Location: Lapulapu City, Cebu

I’ve never been in some of the most sophisticated and high-quality resorts in Cebu island part simply because most of these resorts are located with the neighboring island of Lapu-lapu City. And I find it great to have a feeling that this city will always be a part of the Cebu area. Also, it’s one of those things that I feel refreshed with especially when I want to have another set of environment and get out of the city.

For the best theater experience in Cebu nothing beats Ayala On-stage. The comfy seats and nerve wracking Dolby system surround will give you the most value for your money. Likewise, the excellent seating configuration can make everyone enjoy the movie in its wide screen glory wherever they are seated inside the theater.

Parking at the Malls

Of the two big malls in the city, Ayala and SM, I think SM is more generous in providing their customers with ample parking space and that is for free. Likewise, their customer service is excellent not only they provide transport facilities to ferry customers from the parking area to the mall’s entrance. They also have “umbrella people” on standby specially during heavy downpour. These people provides shelter from the rain while accompanying you from the mall’s exit to where your vehicle is located. It is really a nice thing to know that we are pampered and that SM management should be commended for this.

Relax and Unwind at Roosevelt Mountain Resort

Resorts are not just limited to the ones that are situated near the beach. There is also such a thing as a mountain resort. This is another option for vacationers who want something different rather than the famous white sandy beach.

If you are a local in Cebu, you should probably know that aside from beaches, there are also great places situated way above sea level like the Roosevelt Mountain Resort. It is situated among the hills of Busay, a small town in Cebu where most people grow flowers for a living.

The Terraces At Ayala Center Cebu

It was about a couple of year ago when Ayala Center Cebu closed down the lagoon side for reconstruction. Unlike other renovations or reconstructions from other establishments around town, this had the element of surprise tagging along it. It was covered from every inch, so that mall goers would ask about what’s really going on at that side of the mall as they pass by and as they remember the old look of the lagoon, which some people wished to see again. That new part was named the “The Terraces”, and that’s just about the only information people knew.

As time passed mall goers got used to that covered construction site and became more eager to see the results. When the big day came, I happen to be at the Ayala Center without any hint that it was the unraveling of “The Terraces”.

Mactan Island Aquarium

Mactan Island Aquarium is another new must visit place in Cebu Philippines. The newest attraction features a wide variety of fishes that showcases the abundance of resources in the country. This will take you into an exciting tour underwater, which was only available in some other countries years back. Luckily, Mr. Dylan Taylor, a British Marine Biologist who also married a Filipina took a huge appreciation of the rich marine resource and made this aquarium possible.

The World Class Tingko Beach in Alcoy

If you are visiting Cebu, one of the most popular getaways is Tingko Beach Resort located at Alcoy. This small province of Cebu City, Philippines is not only known for its culture and traditions, but most of all with this great white sandy beach. When people hear about Alcoy, the first thing that comes in mind is Tingko. Locals and foreigners who have been in this beach can only say nothing but great things about their whole experience in this beautiful spot.

Unlike other beaches around Cebu, Tingko beach offers the lowest prices especially in accommodation. An overnight stay at one of the known resorts could only cost you a fraction of what you have to pay when you are on the other side of the town. Price may seem to be the gauge for quality, but here, you will definitely get more than what you pay for.
