There are over a thousand sights and landmarks in Cebu, sometimes known as the "Queen City of the South." In relation to places to visit, Mandaue City, Cebu, has a resort. A resort that, due to its beauty and elegance, is sure to please both adults and children.
Actually, it was my third visit here in the resort but I feel like it was the most satisfying visit. My expectations about this resort was just the same as when I visit here for the past years. But when I had the opportunity to photograph the resort, I found beauty in it that I haven't appreciate in my past visits.
An entrance hall is entered initially before formally entering the resort. For guests to pay admission fees, rent a cottage, or possibly reserve a stay in the resort's hotel, a hotel accommodation is available at the main hall. While we wait, visitors like myself can watch the kois play together or take pictures of some of the on display artwork.
This rock effigy-statue will greet each visitor as you arrive at the resort. It is a really beautiful site to take a picture to in order to have a picture-souvenir of the Westown Lagoon. The resort's logo is a letter W, as you can see. In reality, it represents more than simply the letter W; in my perspective, it represents two soaring birds. This foreshadows the theme of the resort.
After a warm welcome, visitors can head to their cottages to drop their belongings and relax a bit before touring the entire resort. The cottages share similar architectural styles yet are highly distinctive. Various fees apply to renting a cottage. The reason is because each cottage has its own size. Regardless of size, each cottage has the same style and color.
Are you a fairy-tale lover? or a Disney fan? Do you want to see such fantasy dragons? Well, you have to visit the Cebu Westown Lagoon's Dragon Cove. The Dragon Cove is the newest building/pool in the resort. It is very unique and magical. The pool is 1-3 feet high so it is very safe for the kids to experience this Dragonatic-experience.
The dragon statues are very realistic. They really look like a real-living dragons. Maybe it frighten some guests, but it is a very nice experience to be with them for the guests like me that admired this kind of fairy-tale. This is one of my dreams, to capture at least a sight of one dragon. My dream was fulfilled! Even though it is not real.
There is a castle in The Dragon Cove as well. Children and adults can both explore a realistic castle. Visitors can explore the castle's own bridges and steps. The dragons in Dragon Cove appear to have engaged in some combat in their early years. As evidenced by the medieval helmets that have been abandoned by the dragon's foot and tail.
Without a sense of the watery, The Dragon Cove wouldn't be whole. They were able to erect a fake waterfall and add water splashes to the lovely architectural features like fountains and dragon statues. For a truly spectacular Dragon Cove experience, the pool's connected splashy water fountains are ideal. The dragon cove is a perfect, mystical and realistic pool for every kid and adult guest that visits the Cebu Westown Lagoon's Dragon Cove.
Actually, Cebu Westown Lagoon's first kiddie pool is this one. This swimming pool is ideal for both children who are afraid of dragons and those who wish to try a pool slide. It contains a few animal-themed splash toys and about five slides. That bucket at the top of the slides is the most intriguing element. When the bucket is full, water pours out to the right or left side.
Children can enjoy the slides and other splashy play equipment at the pool's separate playground. Even adults who attempted to join the children, like myself, found it to be a very enjoyable experience. In order to complement the motif of the Cebu Westown Lagoon's rain forest, animals are also featured in this pool.
The "Playground+Pool" is also available to adults, but just a friendly reminder. Children should be watched over by adults to prevent accidents, particularly drownings. Although the pool isn't particularly deep, there are a few situations in which anything untoward could happen, especially to those really young children. It should be our duty as adults to watch over our kids. However, Cebu Westown Lagoon is secure. Every pool has lifeguards who keep an eye on the visitors and uphold the proper behavior in the resort. The children in the images appear to be having a great time and appreciating their special moments in the slides.
The resort's largest pool is this one. The depth is four to five feet. A realistic swimming experience in a lagoon is ideal for adults. It's a gorgeous pool with a motif of a rain forest. It contains two lengthy slides, a bar next to it, and a bridge.
A good selection of chairs are set up next to the sizable pool so that the visitors can take advantage of sunbathing. Since we Filipinos don't spend a lot of time in the sun, I assume they properly reserved it for those tourists who visit the resort.
There are two slides, Green and Yellow. Compared to yellow, the green is longer and more powerful. The slide is quite tallβpossibly as tall as the fourth storey of a shopping center. It is quite beautiful and complements the Cebu Westown Lagoon's motif. I'm not sure if it has a rain forest or lagoon theme, but the photographs show how amazing the concept for the attraction is.
There are stairs provided in order to get to the slides. But before sliding, please make sure that you will abide by their rules and restrictions if you want to have a slide. It is for the protection of the visitors who want to slide as well as to prevent accidents. However, since I can't slide with my phone, I think I can't share my experience. But I assure you that the experience is worthwhile. Try it out, please!
This Jacuzzi at the Cebu Westown Lagoon is the most worthwhile to attempt. The pool is ideal for guests to unwind in. To relax, visitors can take a dip in the jacuzzi pool. The water temperature in the pool is just right for our bodies to feel relaxed and receive bubble massage.
Along with its astounding theme and designs, the jacuzzi's entrances are highly distinctive. They're all lovely, including the lamps and the granite entryway. The cool designs offer the visitors a welcoming and exceptional experience.
Every visitor's body muscles are relaxed by the water's warmth. Both children and adult visitors who desire to enjoy this kind of experience will benefit from it. There are no rules, however let's remember that the jacuzzi pool is there for relaxing and chilling, so let's try to keep our voices to a minimum, shall we?
I learned that there were more things to be uncovered while taking a stroll about the resort. This I adore Cebu concept is absolutely fantastic. I would truly love to highlight Cebu's beauty as a Cebuano. Visitors would adore having their picture taken with it. There is also a typical playground available for children who are not submerged in a pool. The kids who couldn't go swimming at least have a playground where they can enjoy sliding and interact with other kids, which is beneficial for them.
The resort is open til night. The guests can stay in the resort before the closing time 11p.m. Guests can still have a swim in any pool, try the long slide, chill in the bar or relax in the jacuzzi. You can still wander the whole resort and see the dark beauty in it.
I had a great time and will never forget this trip. I visited this resort for the third time, but I won't regret it. I was able to enjoy myself with my family on this recent trip, which made it more memorable. I spent an hour roaming around and getting the ideal shot for each picture. I apologize if the images aren't flawless; I was still learning how to take pictures. This blog's images were all captured by myself, @bernadethgetuya. In order for the Steemians to see what it really is like in the resort, I didn't edit or enhance any of the pictures.
