We just got back from our summer vacation spent in beautiful Cebu Island. Warm friendly people, no crowds at all, wife and the kids enjoyed our time at the beach. Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Excellent photos, Jason. Thanks for sharing. Your vacation was a bit more exotic than mine, I fear...

Rubenonfire · 6 August 2007, 06:22 AM

Really cool photos, Jason!

I especially like that marine sanctuary monument.

mc1010 · 6 August 2007, 06:53 AM

San Miguel!!! Best beer in the world!

Love your pictures. Which resort did you stay in?

I've been to Cebu before (when I was 7 years old!). Didn't know it's that beautiful. Would definitely visit soon.

I grew and lived in Manila, Philippines and I never been to that part of the Philippines before. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks MC1010. We stayed at the aptly named Shangri-la Mactan Resort & Spa. You can find more information here - http://www.shangri-la.com/en/property/cebu/mactanresort

Lovely place, lovely people, just a great all around experience. It was HOT though.

Thanks Allan, Chad and JJ, I'm glad you liked the pictures, oh, and I took my Blue Sub diving with me as well, went as deep as 95 feet on the 2nd dive! Diving buddies were all wearing "sophisticated" Suunto dive watches and were too scared to dive with their TT Subs and YMs for fear of scratching it. LOL! I wore mine on the outside of my wetsuit.

I am planning a vacation and Cebu is near the top of my list. Was this a family resort or adults only type of place?
Did you fly in Manila and take a smaller airplane to Cebu?

Thanks

I would say, a good balance of both. The resort has a big enough area for everyone to have their own space and do their thing. It's a well managed resort. If you're into watersports, then this is the place for you. They also have a regular shuttle service that takes you to popular tourist, local shopping areas. We definitely love to go back!

We took the CX plane, Airbus A320-214, out of Vancouver BC direct to Cebu, with a short refueling stop in Hongkong.

Here are more pictures Larry...enjoy!

Stunning photos. Thank you for sharing.

My wife has relatives in Cebu. We should pay them a visit one of these days, for relaxation and San Miguel beer.

Cebu, Philippines, almost as beautiful as Plitvice Lake, Davor?

Ain't that the truth! Food over there was excellent, when we came back home I thought I had gained at least 15 lbs! It turned out to be only 3 lbs.

Downing · 8 September 2007, 01:26 PM

That's my kind of vacation, Jason. Hot weather, white beaches and clear blue water.

Can't wait till next summer!

seduction · 24 September 2007, 08:24 AM

Thanks again Jason. From your pictures the weather was amazingly clear and gorgeous considering July is one of the rainy months in that part of the world.
