THE EIGHTH BITE: PARADISE FOUND AT MOVENPICK HOTEL CEBU

          I've mentioned a few times that I've lived in Cebu during my "Growing Up" years, so it's no question that I see the "Queen City of the South" as my second home. Fortunately, my family and I had very easy access to the beach so I was at the beach practically every weekend. 

      Despite being accustomed to the Sun, Sea and the Sand, there still a few places that never fails to take my breath away. One of them is Movenpick Hotel in Mactan Cebu. This is one view that you can never get used to, no matter how many times you see it. 

    Last May, together with some of my blogger friends, I visited Cebu via Air Asia, for the opening of the first branch of Vikings Luxury Buffet, located at SM Cebu. For the duration of our stay, we were billeted at Movenpick Hotel in Cebu, where we were treated as their VIP guests, and was able to enjoy the beach life in Cebu! 

A CHURRASCO FEAST AT IBIZA BEACH CLUB, MOVENPICK RESORT CEBU

               Once again, this is the story of the world's most notorious introvert. In case you're new to my blog, something you should know about me is that I rarely go out at night, unless it`s to eat or watch a movie. Other than that, my friends often wonder if I secretly am afflicted with Agoraphobia. Initially, the lure of Cebu`s most happening places, "Ibiza Beach Club" over at Movenpick Resort did not faze me. I did want to see the place because it looked absolutely stunning in Photographs, but I never imagined actually hanging out there till the wee hours of the evening. 

           That was until, our host, the lovely Laurie of Movenpick said two words that completely changed the game for me.. 

        "Brazilian Churrasco".

CEBU'S FINEST: MOVENPICK HOTEL CEBU

             People are often surprised when I tell them that I grew up in the beautiful city of Cebu. Their reaction is usually, "Sa Cebu ka lumaki?" (You grew up in Cebu?). I always reply with "Sa Cebu ako HINDI lumaki" (Cebu is where I didn't grow). 

          Perhaps the main perk of living in Cebu (apart from the wonderful, affordable food), is the beach just being around 30 mins away, MAX. I should know. I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but my family's business in Cebu, was a beach resort. As you can imagine, it was pretty awesome having a beach to go to at a moment's notice, whenever your heart desires. As wonderful as it was, this meant that throughout my entire life, I wasn't really able to explore the other resorts and hotels of Cebu. 

        So when I got the opportunity to visit Movenpick Resort and Spa, in Cebu, I jumped at the chance! Better late than never, right?
