Microtel Hotel - BE Hotel

If you're looking for a place wherein it has a reasonable price, good ambiance and a great view with the beachfront, Be Hotel (Formerly Microtel) is the perfect choice.

Me and my friends stayed here for a night (way back 2008) and as far as I could remember, it's a 2 hour drive from Cebu City. Its neighbor hotels were the Shangrila and Hilton Hotel. Amongst the three, this hotel's the cheapest ^__^. For room rates and hotel area map, check this link  http://www.agoda.com/asia/philippines/cebu/be_resorts_mactan.html

Our room right there! The only one that's lit up.. Everybody must have been sleeping! Swimming time at 2 AM.. :D

Cozy Bed!

Lobby ^_^

 

They have these really cool seats ANYWHERE!

Credits to me! XD

We picked a room with a really beautiful view of the pool and the beach. Very neat Deluxe Rooms, round mirrors on the walls, cable tv, sweet cozy AC, comfy mattresses, stylish drapes covering the sliding doors just three steps from the balcony. A perfect view while sipping a cup of coffee!

Hallway heading downstairs..

 Breakfast ^____^. Breakfast with a really nice view of the Cebu Beach!

Bantayan Island

Way back 2008, me and my officemates decided to have an escape (a 2-day escape at least) from the stressful city breeze. Decided to spend the rest-days in Bantayan,a wonderful small island off the northwest coast of Cebu - famous for its crystal clear waters and its long stretch of powdery white sand.

A quiet little paradise..

Marlin's Beach Resort, Bantayan Island provided us with great service. Very affordable rates too! You can check this http://www.marlin-bantayan.com/home.html for more information. ^__^

It's more fun under the sun! We just arrived and here we are! Feet kissing the powdery white sand! The good old days!

Playtime with Kesa!

Smile guys! I can see who among you lost the game! ^__^ (they were playing cards *tong-its* whole afternoon)

Anybody Seasick? We're all very excited!

Just getting ready to leave! Fun under the sun almost over OMG!

Check out our baby boat! Up close view of the crystal clear waters! Worth the 3 hour boat ride :)

See you again Beautiful Bantayan!

Alegrado Island (Maribago Blue Waters)

The Alegrado Island is a 1.1-hectare private island (i have read that it's 65 meters away from the beachfront).  You can reach it by pumpboats or paddle boating. They say you can reach it through swimming during low tides but whoah, quite a distance for a swim ^_______^

Alegrado Island is best for private gatherings, meetings, team buildings :)

My dear friend Caroline here!

Enjoying the buffet! Chow time!
