Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu Resort: Kid-Approved Exciting Activities

Shangri-La Mactan Resort in Cebu was so much fun! We went there to celebrate my birthday and we had a blast swimming at the beach and the pools, playing at Adventure Zone and EZone, and eating delicious food.

We booked our hotel stay in Shangri-La Mactan directly on their website and we were able to get it at Php 12,150 net per night. My parents booked a Main Wing Deluxe Sea View Room with twin beds.

Shangri-La Mactan has a beach with clean sand and clear water with a lot of fish! It was a bit hot when we went there so we stayed in this area where there is shade.

I felt really safe here because it is not crowded and there is a lifeguard on the beach. They also give us beach towels and life vests for kids that we can use for free. There are also plenty of lounge chairs on the beach that we can use.

My brother really enjoyed swimming with the fish. I got a bit scared in the beginning because there were a lot of them.

After having fun swimming, we went to the Adventure Zone to play.

Shangri-la Mactan Adventure Zone is a multi-level indoor playground for kids. It has big slides and an obstacle course.

You will need to book your playtime ahead of time so we did it right after we checked in at the hotel.

Look at that big slide! It looks terrifying at first and I was so scared when I went onto the slide. It was really fun when I tried it. They made me wear a helmet for safety on this slide.

There is also a separate room for smaller kids, who are four years old and younger. It is called the Toddler Zone. There is a slide too, a small obstacle course and a ball pit.

After an exciting morning, we headed to Tides Restaurant for a buffet lunch. There were a lot of people at this time but there was still a lot of food.

I really loved the view from our room. You can see the beach and the pools!

I was really surprised when we went back to our room and there were balloons there. Thank you, Shangri-La for helping my mom and dad surprise me on my birthday.

After resting in our room, it’s swimming time again! They have a big pool with a big slide. I got a bit nervous at first but it was really fun.

There was also a fun Acquaplay area for young kids.

We were pretty hungry after swimming. I ate at Tea of Spring, a Chinese restaurant inside Shangri-La. We didn’t get to take photos here because we were so hungry. 😅

We went to the e-Zone after dinner. This is the entertainment hub with a Timezone arcade, Xbox video games, sports lounge, karaoke room, and a snack bar.

On our second day, we tried mini golf. We don’t really know how to play mini golf so we just had fun together.

Before we went home, we had lunch at the Buko bar and I had this really big burger.
