Today has been an interesting walk... my happy feet seems to know where the most happening place is and found myself at another happy place! National Bookstore in Mango Avenue 😃 where they are currently having their 2019 Book Binge Bazaar.

10/10 Excellent

"Great amenities and superb breakfast buffet with excellent service."

Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu

10/10 Excellent

"The private beach and overall facilities were excellent. The staff’s thoughtful service especially regarding our anniversary truly made our stay special. Everything was wonderful from start to finish. We would definitely consider returning to the club floor again for our next anniversary. However, The breakfast did not quite meet expectations, as there were fewer choices and less variety than anticipated. "
