The kids were crazy over paintball in Baguio over the holidays…..They went back three times and did two rounds every single time. 
When you are in a resort, it’s important that the food is good so that you do not need to keep leaving the place just to eat. At Shangri-la Mactan, be assured of beautiful restaurants with nice ambience and good food.Breakfast is included with the room and you can have it either at Tides, the coffeeshop or at Acqua, the Italian restaurant. Since the hotel has 2 wings, they made it more convenient for the guests to go down to whichever restaurant is nearer to their rooms. BREAKFAST AT TIDES
We walked all the way to Acqua even if it is in the farther wing because it is not as full as Tides. Breakfast buffet is almost the same as Tides, but we prefer a more quiet and stress free breakfast Tea of Spring seems to be the family’s favorite. We had dinner……..
one of the favorite dishes..prawns wrapped in bacon with mayo…
and then lunch for the dimsum
ACQUA, Italian Restaurant
We were able to eat outside the hotel a few times….Always a must is to pass by Pipo’s at Ayala mall for an After 8 gelato!
Tried out this japanese restaurant for the first time ….and enjoyed it! They had some interesting dishes which we never had in other japanese restaurants.
And of course, SUNBURST!!! Eversince we were kids and we first went to Cebu, Sunburst is the chicken place to be.

For now, Abaca is a restaurant but soon they will be having accomodations as well. They have been operating the restaurant for a year already. More power to Jason Hyatt, executive chef and owner. Look for Glenn Ylanan, the manager, when you visit the place and he will definitely take care of you. Hopefully we get to stay here one of these days. We will definitely be back to try to other dishes.
