Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa

Paradise.

That’s how I would describe Shangri-La’s Mactan Island Resort in one word.
I’ve stayed in the hotel twice already, once in 2000 and the most recent just last February. In between, I’ve visited the hotel on day trips. The place always manages to amaze me.

The rooms are splendidly designed and fully furnished. The beds, pillows and linen guarantee a good night’s sleep. Other amenities include the television, minibar, ref, inroom safe and the bathroom which has its own tub. (more…)
