After four days at the Plantation Bay Resort, we decided to try something different.  We spent the last day of our vacation at the Island Shangri-La which is also on Mactan Island.  It is an even bigger resort.

The Shangri-La has a beautiful beach.  The natural beaches of Mactan Island are rocky with course dark sand.  The Shangri-La imported fine white sand and carefully groom the beach.  I suspect that this picturesque rock outcropping is also man-made.  The water was crystal clear.  The kids said they wanted to come the Shangri-La because in had a much nicer beach than Plantation Bay.

After we moved to the Shangri-La, the kids seemed far more interested in the large swimming pool than the beach.

There was more cultural shows and entertainment at the Shangri-La.  We had wonderful Sicilian style Italian food one stormy night and were entertained by strolling musicians.

Back to our Cebu vacation.
