I only had 3 days in Cebu, so did not have enough time to visit the islands. However, in order to save time and have more comfortable resting on the beach, I decided to go to the private beaches of the two luxury hotels and resorts in Mactan - Shangrila
and Mövenpick to visit. Shangrila is visited in the morning, and Mövenpick in the afternoon. Visiting the private beaches in some nice hotels not only brought me new experiences but also there were many activities,
restaurants, clean bathrooms, handsome guys and gals. Here is my travel experience Mactan, Cebu, Philippines.
In order to get to these two places, you can ride a jeepney from the city of Cebu. We went to Park Mall from Colon by jeepney to get another jeepney to Mactan (don't forget to mentioned with the driver you want to go to Shangri-la to make sure you not get on a wrong jeepney). Jeepney fare from Colon to Parkmall is 10 peso only. You will pay a bit higher to get to Shangrila or Mövenpick from Park Mall. If you want to get there by taxi from Cebu to Mactan (Mactan airport area), it's about 200-300 pesos, if there is bad traffic, you may have to pay up to 400 pesos. After arrival, just tell the guards of the hotels that you want to go to the restaurant, then you can play there all day comfortably. Juices from Shangrila in Mövenpick restaurants are also not expensive, only about 130peso-250peso / glass depend on what types of drink you want, if you drink a cocktail or wine and some other things can be more expensive.
For me, the beaches of Shangrila is more beautiful, white sand and blue sky, and the beach in Mövenpick is much smaller but the design of Mövenpick is more modern Not to mention Mövenpick has a cool bar on the beach, very suitable for the activity you like to do at night. Also both these hotels have other activities like diving, boating on the sea ..., and swimming lessons.Who is traveling Mactan in Cebu, the Philippines, do not forget to visit these 2 decent hotels, or if you do not have enough time, you can choose Mövenpick for the evening to enjoy there great bar at night.
