Cebu has become a favorite place to go to among tourists and locals alike. Aside from the warm and friendly smiles that everyone is greeted with when in Cebu, there are also great beaches to go to. There are many activities to do while in Cebu and it’s a good idea to find a Cebu resort that allows one to maximize the Cebu experience
If one is a beach bum and is going to Cebu to enjoy their pristine white sand and turquoise sea, a Cebu resort worth considering is the Cebu Beach Club. This Cebu resort epitomizes the idea of a tropical vacation and one can chill out under the sun along the beach as long as possible. Aside from the beautiful environment with which Cebu Beach Club is located on, this resort is also only 15 minutes away from the airport so it’s very convenient. The staff at Cebu Beach Club are cordial and customer service is excellent at this place. In fact, at this Cebu resort, they make it a point to always to exceed their guests’ expectations and are very attentive to their needs. For a Cebu resort that is picture perfect, the Cebu Beach Club is relatively affordable, with rates starting from US$ 78 to 85. There are 48 rooms in total at this place and the amenities are air conditioning, mini bar, television, bathtub, a hair dryer and a bedside radio.
Another 3-star resort in Cebu is the Cebu Grand Hotel. Unlike the Cebu Beach Club which is a stone’s throw away from the beach, the Cebu Grand Hotel is located in the center of the city in close proximity to the business district. This is not to say however that just because they don’t have beach front rooms that this Cebu resort should no longer be considered. The Cebu Grand Hotel is taking a different approach by bringing their guests closer to what’s happening in the city so it’s ideal not just for families but for those traveling on business. Room rates at Cebu Grand Hotel starts at Php 2,700 and their facilities include a swimming pool, a business center, bar and restaurant, fitness gym, function rooms and even a barber shop and beauty salon. Each room has been built with its own in-room safe and cable television and the guest has the choice waking up every morning to a view of either the city or the mountains.
Tagbilaran is the capital of Bohol and it is a place that has deeply embedded in its history centuries of friendship and peace. Dubbed one of the friendliest places in the Philippines, Tagbilaran destinations are not only places of learning but are also locations where lasting friendships are made.
One might think that a blood compact and a whole site dedicated to it is something very morbid but contrary to one’s first thoughts, this Tagbilaran destination is part of the place’s rich history. The Blood Compact Site is where the chieftain Datu Sikatuna forged a blood compact with the then King of Spain as a signal of friendly relations between the two nations. The marker that points to the Blood Compact Site is said to be the place where the very first Friendship Treaty was entered into without the need of a common language and it was done in 1565. The Blood Compact Site is where friendship between the brown and white skinned first fostered. This historic event is indeed historical because it was one of the contributing factors that caused the Filipinos to welcome the Spaniards with open arms and it was the start of the latter’s peaceful reign. It is just as important in Philippine history as the President Carlos P. Garcia Memorial Park.
Since we’re into history, another good place to visit aside from the Blood Compact Site is the President Carlos P. Garcia Memorial Park. This Tagbilaran destination is located right in Tagbilaran City and it is meant to honor the late President Carlos P. Garcia, a figure admired by many Filipinos up to this very day. President Carlos P. Garcia Memorial Park was built through joint efforts of Boholanos all over the country and even abroad and the bronze statue is the main attraction here. This statue that stands in the middle of the 11 hectare property of this Tagbilaran destination is life-size and made by the national artist Abueva. The President Carlos P. Garcia Memorial Park is just as important and historic as the Blood Compact Site because Former President Garcia was the 4th President of the Philippines, 1st of the 1971 Constitutional Convention and did many good things to alleviate the plight of Filipinos living in poverty.
Moving away from historical sites such as the President Carlos P. Garcia Memorial Park, among the many Tagbilaran destinations are the beaches in the area. There are several beaches that make excellent Tagbilaran destinations such as the Anda Beach, Bay Watch and Darak Beach. These beaches provide the perfect place for unwinding and relaxation.
