This is the map of the whole Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan.  

Previous entry:  Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan

Immediately you will see that the best rooms are always with the view and by the beach – and those are the beach casitas

It’s a 6 hectare property so there is a golf car to bring you around if needed

Ocean front villa – These are the best accomodations in the resort as it is facing the ocean.  There is no direct access to the beach as they are on top of the cliff

 The first villa which is convenient as it has the fastest access to the pool and beach but may not be the most private

Private pool facing the ocean

All the furniture in the resort is from Cebu 🙂 

Beachfront Private Pool Villa- the next best accomodation in the resort – The beach is on the right handside of the resort and these villas are on that side – If I am not mistaken there are only 3 of these in the resort and you see them in this photo. 

 They are nearest to the beach though I do not find them really private because many people pass by here to get to the beach. 

 Your pool is in an area where people pass to get to the beach and there is not much landscaping to cover and give you the privacy.  But then, you have your own pool in your villa and balcony

Across the road from the Beachfront private villas is the Beachfront Casitas – we didn’t get to go inside but we saw it from the outside and it is right in front of the beach hence the name 

 These are the roads leading to the hotel rooms

 Deluxe rooms

 And this is where we stayed, the Deluxe Garden Villas

 Magazine with the owners of Filinvest 🙂

 Bathroom which is the same as the Ocean Front Villas

It was so nice to get away for a day and go to Cebu in just an hour flight.  About ten minutes away from the airport, we arrived ay Crimson Resort at Mactan!  To welcome us was Janine Taylor ( F&B Director ) and Malca Villanueva (Marketing Director) 

Beautiful landscaping

And of course beautiful Cebuanas

Crimson Resort was originally built as a clubhouse for the residents of the housing development of Filinvest.  In fact when you enter, the first thing you will pass will be the residential subdivision which is already sold out and then you go further to the resort.  The Gotianun family always come here to stay which probably is one of the reasons it is kept in good running condition

The beach

Massage huts by the pool

Architecture is done by the same people who built the Shangri-la resorts

Going to the gym

And a CRIMZONE for kids!  

They have 5 gardeners maintaining the landscape of the resort

Some night shots

We were happy to meet James Montenegro, the General Manager of Crimson Resort and Spa.  James was part of the team that set up Shangri-la Mactan when it first opened in Cebu
