A vacation in the Philippines means getting to sample some great food from a wide variety of cultures. The cuisine on Boracay is a mix of Filipino, American, Italian, Mexican, Greek and Indian. There are also Korean and German restaurants on the island to enjoy when you vacation in the Philippine. For a night on the town try Pier 1 and Summer Place. At Nigi Nigi - a tiny bar - sample some long island iced tea - served in a jar!
To vacation in the Philippine island of Cebu holidaymakers can take a plane to Mactan International Airport and on to Cebu and Cebu city where there are both public and private resorts to enjoy. Cebu City is a clean city with all the modern conveniences you need or want. At the same time it has an old-fashioned feel to it. If you vacation in the Philippine and want to get away from the crowds Cebu city is the place to go.
A visit to Palawan Province will enable you to see the city of Puerto Princesa a quiet city which is not very tourist oriented and retains the simple ways of Asia. If you are feeling adventurous you should visit the Palawan Underground River. You'll find it about two hours north of the city. The river is found inside a cave and is one of the longest navigable underground rivers in the world. The rock formations beg to be photographed so bring your camera along. If you want to vacation in the Philippines make sure you're prepared for anything!
A visit to Honda Bay is another choice way to vacation in the Philippine. If you want to test out your snorkeling skills take a guided tour to Snake Island and Starfish Island for some great views of the underwater world.

Costabella Beach Resort
We stayed at Costabella Beach Resort in Mactan Island, Cebu. If you wanna stay away from the crowd, this is the place for you, but if you are a party person, go to Boracay instead.....lol. The resort is really private and rest assured that there are no vendors/sellers lurking around.
Waterfront Hotel and Casino
In Cebu City, we stayed at The Waterfront Hotel and Casino. It is a huge hotel I must say, and a nice one. It is near the Business Park where the "mall" is....hehe. This is also where we spent my birthday, which I must say again, the best one ever.
Unfortunately, we forgot to take some pictures of the Cebu Midtown Hotel where we also stayed and The Fleuris Hotel in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Hotel Fleuris is a small and cozy hotel and of course the local staff are very nice and hospitable. We enjoyed our stay there!
