Discovering Cebu: Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort

I am invited…see?

After a stressful week at school and work, Last Saturday was one of the most memorable activies of Cebu Bloggers Society as we are invited for a free Summer Blowout by the good management of the Resort. That was realized by the cooperation of Mister Ruben, X and yours truly.

Gathering and meeting

While i am busy of distributing CBS ID for the blowout

Yeps, CBS pips have met and greet in front of SM City Cebu – Northwing. And sad to say, me and my two high school buddies who turned now as official cebu bloggers; namely Jose (eventhough, many knew that he doesn’t like to be called one) and Zyra, came late but with no worries, Ruben has not yet arrive on that time. I saw some CBS pips who came and i missed them a lot…. After minutes, Ruben has arrived with four Vans which will be our joy ride going to the Prestigious Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort.

Joy Ride

I bet it was half an hour going to the resort, I was in the third Van (sad to say, the fourth van has noone inside), with me were Ruben, Mark Gallardo, Zyra, Blair and Aldwyn. We talked so many things that made me to think again what are those, as of this writing, i still cannot recall what are the topics but we did have enjoy the FREE ride.

Cool Arrival

Picture taking or camwhoring? hehe

As we came out of the Van, we were welcomed with a heart by some of the Resort’s beautiful ladies and CBS was necklaced with Cebu’s most kept jewelries, the sea shells. Afterwhich, we were served with a cool Juice – was that lemon juice? and of course, camwhoring strikes again. We were introduced to Miss Noreen (i am not sure, i forgot really the name) with the same surname of our very own Bryan, how are they related? i don’t know.

Resort Funny Tour

CBS with resort guide, Noreen

Why am i putting funny on the subtitle? Well, its all because of CBS green minded buddies – Prince Ryan and Ethel who made jokes and stories on some of the resort’s great location and service. Firstly (as i remembered), we were brought to AMUMA spa, as i checked on the given brochures, there are three packages the spa can offer, these are the Hilot (which i remembered), Malakas and maganda (good for couple) and the lapu-lapu package (for men only). Then we were introduced to their jacuzzi which is good for 300 PHP for one day only and i remember Ethel doing joke of the name.. very green, naughty! ehhehe. We then visited their cool rooms, facilities and oh before i forgot, the Arnis thingy part, where you can do your relaxation and personal meditation. Then we saw their beautiful and the real BLUE water beach and pools, have watched shark swimming in some of their parks, we’ve witnessed that time a wedding ceremony in their man-made island which they call Alegrado Island, the sands are white and its just very good for my moreno skin (hahahha) and we visited also their THE COVE (past tense for cave? lol) Restaurant just beside their beach, you can choose to their ALIVE, yes LIVE sea foods (eg: crab, stone fish, fihes, eel, etc) and let it cook to their world class chef.

Note: AMUMA is a visayan pamper, indulge with every attention, comfort, care; spoil

Meet the Management

snacks served while meeting the management

After the very tiring and enjoyable tour, CBS was given a chance to meet the Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort’s management and staff, as i remembered, we talked and ask some question to four high rank personnel, their GM, President and the other two. The conversation was great because its not formal (i definitely dont like formal), CBS pipz asked questions related on the tourism part, the resort’s market target (Bro Bill asked this), the Corporate Social Responsibility (this time, ethel is serious), i asked about the recession (how are the resort affected) and lastly, the funny one, Why is the resort named to BLUEWATER BEACH RESORT?, will the question is right and good but we cannot stop our natural response to laugh..sorry for that Guads. and we ended the session with lot of snacks on which brad Prince Ryan and Doyskie laughed with how i pronouce the TUNA (to-na) bread..waaaaaaaaaaa!

TANOM + NAKED = Embarassment

Waaaa, i didn’t care if i was embarrassed or what, all i knew was that i enjoyed the beautiful beach and pools of the resort.Hmmm, Tibor also was wearing his skin..so its not embarrasment but another entry of X’s meneater blog..hahahha. I bet its only seven of us who enjoyed the BLUEeness of the water.

FOOD, FOOD, food

yum! yum!

waaaaaaaa! the very best part of the Blowout, eating to a very delicious, yummy, salivating filipino/cebuano foods, delicacies, fruits and deserts. I even forgot to take a shoot with my plate full of different foods.. oh my, i just did not forget the “halang-halang” if im right, it was spicy and yummy. Also, the very tasty lechon poured with pinakurat sauce (love it), the dried adobo and other yummy foods. im hungry! And that eating made our last dinner at maribago bluewater beach resort and we then jumped into the van and ready for HOME.

Gratitude and Appreciation

I would like to thanks again to
our CBS member, Ruben Licera for having us invited to their world-class resort, to sir Rhyx, Miss Noreen, to the management and staff I am very grateful to see and meet you there. I hope people will not expense a lot of money just to vacate in foreign countries, if they can only see the beauty we have here in cebu. and oh, Sir Ruben, i am looking forward in seeing and visiting the sister beach, Sumilon Beach resort, dont forget? heheh
