summer of one-oh! ocean series: imperial palace resort


the imperial palace resort and spa at maribago, mactan island.  a free ride with harry's management in his company...woohoo! with rooms at P7,600 ($160) a night, i don't think i can afford it very soon..LOL. this was after i got home from the island hopping, slept at 8:00 PM..woke up 6:00 AM to get ready for another day at the beach! yey to summer!

here's a lowdown on our stay in imperial palace:
♥ all met at I.T. Park at 9:00 AM
♥ ate lunch at one of mactan's best italian restaurant (very cheap too!) -- MB's Tavern
♥ settled in our mediterranean-inspired room complete with a comfy bed with plush sheets, a a huge LCD TV with cable, iPod dock, a bath tub with hot and cold water and a view to the whole resort
♥ was surprised to find sooo many koreans in the resort -- welp, it is after all owned by a korean..hehe.
♥ swam and played all afternoon at all 3 pools of the resort BUT was too chicken to try out the towering slides...boohoo for me!hehe.
♥ had dinner at SUTUKIL -- a line of restaurants in mactan island where you can choose from an array of fresh seafood (fish, crabs, shrimps, scallops..etc) and choose how to have them cooked -- sugba (grilled), tuwa (to prepare it in soup) and kilaw (eat it raw usually soaked in vinegar) -- so YUMMY!
♥ had drinks at cowrie cove in Shangri-la Mactan -- sooo expensive...whoa!
♥ woke up to the sunrise on our window and to my period...damn! LOL.
