Be Resorts Mactan


I was invited to check out BE Resorts Mactan amenities and activities for an afternoon together with Cebu Bloggers Society Members. Arrived at BE Resorts Mactan at around 3:30pm and as I pass by the lobby I notice Cobonpue Furniture pieces combined with a modern ambiance. BE Resorts Mactan is a boutique hotel with hip and chic designs that exudes vibrant and young aura.



Though service is a little bit inferior, room rates here are for as low as 5,400PHP/120USD nett per night for Standard Rooms inclusive of breakfast and bottled water daily. Premium and Suite Rooms are for 6,400php and 7.900php respectively.


Activities like Kayaking, Banana Boat Ride, Jetski, Island Hopping and Scuba Diving are a few of what's fun to do at BE Resorts Mactan.

We then had our snacks at the BE Beach Bar. eeeek

La Belle Aurore


The store is not just about selling books but also sharing the adventure the books tell. At La belle Aurore Bookstore you'd find book titles that are rare at very low prices. Owner and manager JB Lee tells us that over 3,000 book titles are currently available in his shop and is planning to expand as more and more readers are demanding for new book titles every now and then. La Belle Aurore Bookstore is located at Hernan Mandaue City (just beside Jade's Court). You might be asking why name his bookstore La belle Aurore? Jb got it from the classic movie "Casablanca" and find the name very appealing. La belle Aurore is the french word for a beautiful dawn which for Jb is a beautiful start of a business where he sells what he loves; books!
