@marlon_Id: your pics are very very beautiful, stunning, breathtaking and add all postive adjectives to it. Makes me want to go to CWC again.

Aha! So that's how the villa looks like. It looks so elegant! Unfortunately though, we weren't able to check in there 'coz it's too expensive! We were only able to hire a canabana and a trailer. SAD.

And yes, Shangri-La is magnificent! Quite lucky to have a taste of its hospitality even just for a week. Ahh, I miss it already.

well, yeah but we stayed there for more than 3 days. and we were like 11 people most of them kids. so 5k times 3 days... that's already 15k plus food and we still went around Naga City and nearby areas.

I think this is the rate:
cabana - Php1k+/day
trailer - Php3K+/day
villa - Php5k+/day

The food on the clubhouse is quite expensive though. Our breakfast was Php250/head.

The pool was awesome! And unfortunately, wasn't able to try wakeboarding. Was quite scared eh.

[le Reine]

well, of course, it was way way cheaper. hehehe...

my mother's hometown is Naga. We went there last May. I've posted some pictures in Naga thread. I forgot which exact thread it was. I enjoyed my stay so much! And it is very unfortunate that we only stayed for 3 days. I was also frustrated when I wasn't able to go there last September for the fiesta. Oh well, maybe next time.

Shangri-la’s Mactan resort and spa included in Zagat guide to World’s Top Hotels, Resorts & Spas


Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa is the only deluxe family resort in the Philippines to be included in the Zagat Guide to World’s Top Hotels, Resorts & Spas 2007/08 Edition.

The Zagat Guide is the most credible and trusted guide to the premier hotels, resorts, spas and restaurants in key cities around the world. Established in 1979 as a shared hobby of couple Nina and Tim Zagat and their friends, the Zagat Guide now publishes more than 40 titles annually, all of which are based on the collective opinions of more than 250,000 surveyors, and designed to help consumers make smart choices about where to spend their time and money.

For the World’s Top Hotels, Resorts & Spas 2007/08 Edition, the ratings were based on input from 21,783 avid travellers, and 1,626 travel agents and meeting planners worldwide. Surveyors described Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa as a “secluded paradise.” “You don’t have to go anywhere else in Cebu when you settle in this resort, which has everything you’d expect from a Shangri-La anywhere in the world,” says one consumer in the Zagat Guide. “Beautiful grounds, extremely attentive service, rooms with water views and a cozy feeling” are several of the factors cited in the review.

Surveyors were also happy with the CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La village, the “good dive shop,” and such options as “fishing, scuba, snorkeling, waterskiing, windsurfing, jet skiing and parasailing.”

Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Asia Pacific’s leading luxury hotel group, currently manages 50 hotels under the five-star Shangri-La and four-star Traders brands, with a rooms inventory of over 24,000. The group has over 45 projects under development in Austrian, Canada, mainland China, France, India, Japan, Macau, Maldives, Philippines, Qatar, Seychelles, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States.

Banyan Tree expands into Philippines.

This new venture is the first project for the Banyan Tree Holdings in the Philippines.

Banyan Tree and its partner, Mr Salvador B Zamora II, a prominent businessman in the mining and real estate industries, have entered into a joint venture to develop and operate luxury resorts on Dinaran Island in the Philippines. The joint venture agreement was signed this morning in the Philippines between Mr. Zamora and Mr Ariel Vera, Banyan Tree’s Group Managing Director. Banyan Tree will acquire a significant interest in the joint venture.

The parties plan to develop two resorts on the island, each of which will retain a secluded and intimate ambience due to the island’s size and terrain. The total development costs for these two resorts is estimated at around US$70 million.

Banyan Tree will master plan, provide architectural and interior design concepts for the resorts which will include its signature pool villa, multi-award winning spa and its unique brand of Asian hospitality. The entire project is targeted for completion in 2010.

The uninhabited island, which has an area of about 55 hectares, is surrounded by stretches of white-sand beach. Located south of Manila in Palawan Province, Dinaran Island is just 15 minutes away by speedboat from the thriving town of Coron.

Visitors can reach Coron through daily scheduled flights of approximately one hour from Manila to Yulo King Ranch Airport in Busuanga, which is the adjourning town to Coron.

"We believe Philippines will grow into an important luxury tourist destination and our resorts in Dinaran will not only enhance our position as a premier resort chain in Asia but will also give us an important foothold in a country with tremendous potential. We also intend to explore other development opportunities here, and seek out partnerships with local investors,” said Executive Chairman, Mr Ho Kwon Ping.

This project is not expected to have any material financial impact on the Group’s earnings and its net tangibl
