SUN SEA SAND

The power of the glorious sun was undoubtedly remarkable. As its rays touched our tanned skin, its heat vigor us and fills our mood with a total bliss. That’s what we got when we reached the grounds of Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort and Spa. It was just a day tour but was packed with gazillion energy from the mighty sun.


LOCATION

Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort and Spa was located at Buyong Rd, Maribago, Lapu-Lapu City, the historic resort city and approximately 20 minutes away from Mactan Cebu International Airport. Getting here was very easy. From the airport’s arrival area, taxi cabs (in white, with Php30.00 flag-down rate) and airport taxi cabs (in yellow, with Php60.00 flag-down rate) were readily available to take you to the resort. A shuttle service of the resort could also be used if you did made prior arrangements.

Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort and Spa was established in July of 1989. This one here at Mactan, which was approximately 7 hectares, was one of the three chain resorts of the Bluewater Resorts group – proudly Filipino! The other resorts were Bluewater Sumilon and Bluewater Panglao. Visit their website at www.bluewatermaribago.com.ph for more details.
                                                                                                    
THE RESORT

We availed of the day tour package which included a buffet lunch, use of the pool and their beach area. Normally their day tour rate was Php 2,000.00 per person. Luckily, there was an on-going promo and with that we got a discount. 
It was our first visit to the resort. The receiving area was light, not too spacious. There were couches at the corners to serve the guests. We were attended very well by the front desk officer and we got everything needed to proceed to our day tour.

The sun was shining splendidly high above the light blue sky. We love the beach area. It was perfect for swimming. The sand was fine, doesn’t hurt on your feet. The shore was superb. The view was great. The resort’s guests were a mix of foreign and Filipino. It was a lovely day!
To refresh ourselves, we headed to Oyster Bar and the Cove at the corner of the beach area and grabbed some ice cold drink. The ambiance was great to just chill out and enjoy the sunny weather.
Guests could also enjoy water sport activities. Just check out their in-house water sport guide, the Aquamania, and try all sorts of water activities.
Bluewater Maribago Resort and Spa has a man-made island, about 1.1 hecatre, just across the beach area. We decided to go there before noontime. We rode a banca going there and it took about 2-3 minutes to reach the famed island.
Small huts were placed here to give little shade for guests. Fewer crowds too and you can really enjoy your dip in the water. The ambiance was nice, a perfect spot for those surprise proposals and exclusive romantic celebrations.
The pristine white sand of the resort’s private island was so inviting. We were lucky there were no private functions held at that time which was why we were able to explore the island. Few couples were already there having their sweet lone time where as we were there to enjoy the beach!
We went back to the main beach around 12noon for we were a bit hungry. We enjoyed a feast, a buffet served near Allegro Restaurant. I thought the food tasted fine but it can do better. I got a little bit of everything and I only picked a few of the desserts.

At times, Allegro Restaurant would over themed buffets. You may check out their website to know more about their delightful offerings. 
It was a satisfying lunch. Afterwards we continued to explore the resort; we dipped into the pool nearby Allegro, grab a few snacks in between, played the life-sized chess by the shore and just enjoyed the day.
Well, that was about our day tour!
Pretty exciting and I’m sure more things could be done here if we did stay for a night. Overall, our experience was superb.
                      
‘Till next time.
Ciao!!
