Places to visit :

Plantation Bay Mactan -- Dubbed as "the most distinctive resort to open (in this part of the world) this decade" and "the penultimate tropical lagoon resort," indeed, Plantation Bay lives up to the twin distinctions in every aspect. In Souteast Asia, no other resort can relive the colonial era the way the Caribbean-inspired Plantation Bay Mactan does.

Cebu -- Cebu is surrounded by clear blue water and living coral reefs, thus making it an ideal resort island and one of the most famous scuba-diving centers in the country. Cebu City is a bustling metropolis famous for its skilled craftspeople. It has an international airport, and an efficient seaport. Cebu City is 55 minutes away from the Manila Domestic Airport.

Chocolate Hills -- Bohol. The hills turn from green to brown when ____________ comes, making them look like little chocolates, thus the name.

Talisay Beach -- Cebu.

Shangri-La's Mactan Island Resort -- Mactan Island, Cebu. This is the Philippines' first five-star international resort-hotel providing world class facilities and services from a Shangri-La property. It has excellent service and lots of exciting activities. Plus, it owns its own US$ 1.4-million desalination plant.
