Just last June 27-28, we had our teambuilding at the Caylabne Bay Resort. I’ve actually been there just last May 24 to attend an event so the pictures you’ll be seeing here are from both dates. Located at Ternate in Cavite, it took about a 2.5 hour bus ride going to Caylabne.
Greens are abundant:
The beach… [...]
I’m finally done posting my Cebu trip. What can I say? I had fun and it was a great experience. One thing is for sure, I will be back. There are still a lot of places to go in Cebu that we were not able to fit in my itinerary. I do hope, my dear [...]
Well, it’s finally time to go back to Manila. The Philippine Airlines (will now be referred to as PAL) plane that I rode going back seems to be the newly brought ones. Who cares right? You’ve ridden in one and you’ve ridden them all… or so I thought anyway. Lo and behold, here’s a [...]
Before finally heading off to the airport, I took a blitz trip to Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa in Punta Engaño. It was getting dark when I arrived so I was only able to take half decent pictures.
Here is what greets you at the lobby:
Nice nice.
I would say that the Tides restaurant is the equal [...]
On the way to Punta Engaño (wherein Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa is located) I make a quick stopover to Mactan Shrine. They say this was where Magellan was killed by Lapu-Lapu and his men.
The Magellan’s Marker was built in 1866 by the Spanish government to honor Magellan. The 4 corners of this obelisk contains [...]
Here are some tips should you plan to go to Bantayan Island:
1. Plan for a few days stay at Bantayan. Staying overnight will not be enough for you to explore the island (just like us).
2. Leave for Bantayan as early as possible.
3. The non-airconditioned buses are fine and quite cheap. The trip is quite breezy [...]
Okay here’s a few more about Bantayan Island
Near Bantayan itself (but still a part of Bantayan Island) is Sta. Fe. I was able to take a picture of the Sta. Fe Beach Club while we were still in the ferry. Looks to be a nice place and hopefully we’ll be able to stay there the [...]
We now come to the highlight of our Cebu trip which is going to Bantayan Island. It’s not all daisies and roses though. The trip going to the island is a bit of hassle and tiresome. We took a 2.5-3 hour non-airconditioned bus ride going to the pier. Riding the ferry takes an additional 45 [...]
550 peso buffet at UWO still too expensive for you? How about Filipino buffet at half the price of UWO’s? Impossible? No it’s not! Just outside the Waterfront Cebu Hotel (but still within the compound) is the Port Seafood Restaurant.
Just price at around 265 pesos ($6), this is the ultimate bang for your buck pig [...]
Inside the Waterfront Cebu Hotel you can find the restaurant called UWO.
We thought it would be very expensive here considering that hotel buffets cost more than a thousand pesos in Manila. We asked the personnel inside how much the buffet costs and they said 550 pesos ($12). Our eyes widened. We double checked with the [...]
