Mactan Cebu: Shangri-la Mactan Resort -The Beach and The Sea

What I like about Shangrila Mactan is that you can use of all non-motorized water sports for free. You can do fish feeding, snorkelling and kayaking. There is also a dive center if you want to do jet ski, parasail and sea walk for a fee. What keeps me back is that the sea surrounding the resort is thriving with lots of colorful fish!

The beach in Shangrila Mactan is not as fine as the White Beach in Boracay. The sand is powdery white but a bit coarse. However, the abundance of marine life well compensates for it. I've been to Boracay before and you need 20-30 minutes boat ride from White Beach to snorkel and do fish feeding. In Shangrila Mactan, you can see schools of fish right by the sea shore and for me this is simply the best part of the experience!
