Movenpick Hotel and Spa Cebu has been getting a lot of press and thumbs up of late so it has been in my radar for some time now. My baby sis’ vacay and my Dad’s upcoming birthday were a perfectly good excuses to check it out.
Even with the gusty winds that came with Agaton, we still had a really wonderful time in the resort. The weather then was quite chilly for a swim but it was surprisingly refreshing – the swim that is.
And their crispy pata was the best I have tasted so far. The food was relatively cheap for a resort and so worth the price. And as always, it is better described with photos!

How to get there:
Mövenpick Hotel and Spa Cebu is just around the bend after Mactan Shangrila.
If coming from the Mactan International Airport, you can take a taxi and head off towards Punta Engano.
Some landmarks that you should be passing by would be the Mactan Export Processing Zone, STK ( a popular local area for restaurants that serve fresh seafood ), the Lapu-lapu shrine which is right beside STK and the Mactan Shangrila Resort and Spa.
Accommodation:
You can stay in one of the condo residences or better yet, book a hotel room preferably on the higher floors of the hotel. The view from what I have seen can be breathtaking.
