Resort in South East Asia
Hello
Shangrila might be the only 5 star resort in the Philippines but there are many nice resorts not 5 star. Here is a video of a nice place on Bohol taken at easter time that has several swimming pools, tennis courts, multiple bars and restaurants and is only about usd $80 per night for the presidential suite which has a jacuzuzi. A flyer at the end of the video details the room costs and facilities available: http://www.cebutours.com/wmv/boholtropics.wmv (hi quality 11.4mb) If you stay at Shangrila on Mactan Island and don't take time to look around, you will miss out on many things. Here are some videos of things in Cebu City near Mactan Island: Go shopping at some of the big malls. Here is a small part of SM Mall: http://www.cebutours.com/wmv/smmall.wmv (hi quality 14.1mb) Visit historical sites. Here is Fort San Pedro, original site of Spanish occupation in the Philippines: http://www.livingincebu.com/video/fortsanpedro.WMV (Hi quality 27.9mb) Go to the Top, a lookout which overlooks Mandaue City, Cebu City, Talisay City and Mactan Island: http://www.cebutours.com/wmv/tothetop.wmv (Hi quality 30.8mb) If you are in Cebu in January you can see the Sinulog procession and take part in other activities: http://www.livingincebu.com/video/sinulog2004.wmv (Hi quality 30.1mb) If you want small versions of any of the above videos. Please go here and look for the videos marked small: http://www.cebutours.com/wmv/ http://www.livingincebu.com/videos.htm Any videos downloaded are for home viewing only and not to be used for any commercial purpose. Regards: Jim Sibbick "PeterL" wrote in message ... "tom" wrote in message ... I would love to visit a resort in South East Asia. Need to be 5-star deluxe and very relaxing. Has enough facilities, restaurants and pastimes to do within the resort that I will not need to worry about finding things to do. Prefer something luxurious. I would like to go to Philippines, Sabah, Indonesia or Pacific. Not Thailand Any recommendations please ? This is the only 5 star resort in the Philipines: http://www.travelsmart.net/ph/resorts/Cebu/Shangri-la's/ But the Philipines is not considered South East Asia. Tom |
