#One Summer Day 2014#

Planned already set to be held at Be Resorts Mactan. Offering Boodle fight with day use costs 3,297.00php good for 4. Confirmed it twice last month. No need for down payment since walk ins CAN pay on the day of use. A day before our outing, I made a confirmation regarding my reservation but the representative told me that they no longer offer boodle fight and they have already increased their day use from 750php to 1200php. She also said that they cannot consider my reservation since there was no payment made. I have emphasized the details during the time I reserved and that the representative advised me walk-ins CAN pay on the day of use. Anyway, I felt that they were so inconsiderate and had to look for another resort which offers cheap day use with same amenities as be resorts. #BEinconsiderate

Finally, we have reserved at COSTABELLA TROPICAL BEACH HOTEL. I thought it was destiny who brought us there. It's nestled at Buyong, Mactan Island Cebu 6015 Philippines. You may call the resort at (032) 231 4244 for more information.

Offering 850php per pax for the day use. Inclusive of set meals with free glass of iced tea and the use of swimming facilities. For those who don't have their towels with them, you can rent at the resort for 100php.

The moment I set my foot on the place, I felt like I'm home. It's cozy, homey, and probably a one way relaxing getaway. Not to mention the staff are very approachable.

The quality of food which were served is just so mouthwatering and the serving is quite big, good enough for our hungry stomachs. hahahaha. The dessert was tempting and is irresistible. It felt like "save the best for last" theme. :p

HOW TO GET THERE?

From Parkmall, ride a jeepney going to SOONG for P20. Costabelle resort is just left side of Maribago Bluewaters. You may stop there and ride a tricycle going to Costabella for about P10.

We surely had a great time, great experience and great food. Superb! :D Hopefully, looking forward for more reviews.

#Hot spots for Summer in Cebu#

I can't deny that it's already Summer as March is on its way to let the beach bum get started. Did I just say beach? Heard it right! That's how I wanna spend my summer....at the beach! Well, I don't want to sound cheesy or anything but you know what they say "Life is a beach" ;)

Planning on a day tour or a stay over will probably be just fine depends on how far your destination is. Usually, famous beaches are located an hour or more from the city.

My Top 10 recommended places for beach bum:

 Lapu-lapu City (an hour or two from the Cebu city)

Moalboal (not less than 3 hours from the City to the South)

Badian (more or less 3 hours from the City to the South)

Alcoy (more or less 3 hours from the City to the South)

Sumilon Island (15-20 minutes from Bancogon Oslob)

Having a great time looking at the pictures and already want to plunge? You're not the only one! Hopefully, I would visit these places too before I die (just kidding ^_^). Let's give summer a warm hug! (rock'n'roll)
