Cebu 101: Where to Stay, What to Eat and What to Do When In Cebu!

 

And so the adventures of Frank and Mae continue on and for this week,   they’ve decided to crossover Luzon island and fly directly to the Queen City of the south to discover  and experience its magnificence and to give you all a heads up on the things you never should miss when going to Cebu! 

There is no doubt that it’s truly more fun in the Philippines with all the various sites, sounds and experiences all readily there for everyone to adore!

Choosing a place to stay is indeed very vital in any vacation of course! Keep in mind that these occasions serve as your reward to yourselves so before booking a hotel or a resort, it pays to do much research to get your money’s worth. For us, a place must have a good location, great amenities, fantastic food and one-of-a-kind service.. basically, a place which can remind you how great life is! Yeah, that’s how we epicureans think!

 

Ok time to start the journey again and take you to majestic Cebu with our photos!!  

Like most Filipinos, we also enjoy  booking flights whenever Cebu Pacific  sell very affordable fares! Cebu Pacific  made it sooo possible for locals to fly and see the country! Before, flying was considered as a luxury and only for a few who can afford it, but now Cebu Pacific fares are sometimes even more affordable than land travel!  Flying via Cebu Pacific is very easy and safe and no matter how other airlines would also offer affordable rates, we still go for a tried and tested name like Cebu Pacific!

 

The flight from Manila to Cebu lasted for about an hour via Cebu Pacific. We arrived at the Mactan Int’l Airport around noon and we were just in time for our check-in at our preferred resort for this trip – Crimson Mactan! 

 

 Crimson Mactan: Our home in Cebu

 

Crimson Mactan is definitely one of those places which provide you with a glimpse of paradise! Yeah, the sites were breathtaking with awesome amenities and service! Everything looked so perfect, calm and serene! 

 

 hello paradise!

 

I’m so glad we made the decision to stay at Crimson Mactan!

 

We noticed that majority of visitors were foreigners. I couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholy… I wish more Filipinos would get to experience this paradise as well!  Perfect for romantic getaways, family outings and honeymoons!

 

 

 and now, we go to our villa!  Our villa was super cute! Looked more like a small home loaded with all the stuff you need!

 It felt like playing “Bahay-bahayan” the entire weekend!

 

 Here at Crimson Mactan, guests are given VIP treatment and much pampering! 

 

 Our villa was just perfect! From the design down to the intricate artsy details! Bravo!

 

cool ey?

 

It’s one of those places which make you feel so at home! We sooo love everything about it and we can only say great things about Crimson Mactan!

 

Our villa even had its own mini pool/Jacuzzi inside! It was such a delight to see Frank already taking a dip when I woke up 

 

 from all the places we’ve been to, Crimson Mactan had the most elegant and spacious bathroom with all the luxurious amenities you can ever think of! 

 

it even had its own lcd tv! 

   

The Food:

Oh! Their buffets were all satisfying! I remember spending a lot of hours devouring on their dishes! We loved their desserts station so much! Their cakes were so delectable! We also loved their healthy smoothies!  The restaurant staff were also very warm and attended to our every need!

 they got a really nice selection of dishes at their buffet! Frank and I had such memorable meals during our stay!

 

Frank and I always look forward to breakfasts and we sure had wonderful ones during our stay at Crimson Mactan!

I even remember having breakfast for almost 4 hours!!  When you’re at Crimson Mactan, you wouldn’t wanna go out anymore.. SERIOUSLY!!

 

expect glorious meals at Crimson Mactan <3

 

Crimson Mactan was just soooo perfect that we didn’t want to leave the whole weekend! But of course, it would be a shame not to experience the majesty of the Queen City of the South so Frank and I made and effort to search for MUST EXPERIENCE things when in Cebu!
