For the ultimate refreshment to escape the tropical heat, you can order the Mövenpick Ice Cream which is a product of Swiss craftsmanship characterized by its authentic taste, amazing creaminess, and refined and well-balanced flavors.
In the Philippines, Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu is the only place where you can find this ice cream brand. Available in eight flavors, namely, Swiss Chocolate, Caramelita, Pistachio, Strawberry, Vanilla, Espresso Croquant, Maple Walnut and Lemon & Lime, the Mövenpick Ice Cream is reason enough for your to keep coming back to Cebu. Our favorites are the Espresso Croquant, Pistachio and Caramelita.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, make sure you don't miss the Chocolate Hour at the Lobby Lounge where guests enjoy complimentary treats made with Swiss chocolate.

Recently named as one of the best bars and restaurants in Cebu, and one of the best party places outside Metro Manila, the Ibiza Beach Club is the place to see and be seen in Mactan Island. In fact, guests from neighboring hotels and resorts spend their evenings here because the parties at Ibiza Beach Club are simply the best you can find on the island.
Highlight of the evening are the nightly live performances by the Ibiza show team, featuring live singing and dancing to retro pop, disco and Latin music, as well as daring fire dance and stunts.
Another reason to visit Ibiza Beach Club is the Balearic-Inspired Signature 15-Course Grill which features unlimited servings of grilled meats and seafood, barbecued and basted with Balearic marinades and spices.

After dinner, it's time to get back to our room to enjoy the rest of the evening in the comfort of our bed. It didn't take long for us to fall asleep especially when you envelop yourself with a plush duvet which keeps you warm in a well air-conditioned room. It's "good night" for now.
The following morning, we welcomed the sunrise at the hotel's beachfront. The calm waters of the sea was very inviting we decided to have an early swim. The sunlight wasn't that intense and the warm weather made us really enjoy the beach.
Next to the beach is the beach garden that is ideal for a morning stretching exercise. The hotel also organizes group exercises, yoga and Zumba sessions which guests can join during their stay.
The hotel also has a Fitness Center that is open 24 hours so that guests can use the facilities at any time of the day or night. The Fitness Center is fully equipped with cardiovascular and resistance machines that meet any level of training requirement.
