How’s your summer so far? We still have a month to go before school starts (for our kids) and there’s still time to unwind and relax in the beach 🙂

I wasn’t able to inquire from Shangri-La Mactan (too expensive for us right now) and Imperial Palace Waterpark Cebu but I’m planning to include here their rates after I get a word from them.
Among the resorts I presented above, we chose BE RESORTS MACTANÂ for our Mactan beach experience budget-wise and being a newly-built resort. It was also recommended by my sister-in-law and a first cousin who were already able to stay there.
Watch out for my posts about our trip to Cebu and more about Be Resorts Mactan 🙂
Jhanis says
We’ve only been to Crimson and White sands and we are excited for another getaway before the summer ends. Thanks for the round up, we can definitely use this to plan our outing. And budget LOL Thanks!
Erlaine says
Thanks for dropping by Janis! How’s the sand in Crimson and White Sands? The sand in Be Resorts is white but not that fine as compared to Boracay.

Hi! Thank you for sharing these information. I have plans of spending a day at Be Mactan but couldn’t find the day use rate on their website. I was already frustrated. Also, for some reasons their “Contact Us” page is returning some errors. Good thing I was able to google and stumbled upon your blog.
Very nice and chic site too! 🙂
