The Palace's Take on Lifestyle

CEBU, Philippines - Imperial Palace Waterpark and Spa Cebu is a massive eight-hectare complex that also houses Lifestyle Villas that offer a balance of both resort and luxury living.

Little details from the check in process to our personal host escorting us to the villa itself could charm anyone into anticipating the luxurious stay ahead. Everything was carefully thought of, every need catered for. It was the perfect midsummer vacation for couples and honeymooners as this private getaway within the resort comes with its exclusive Jacuzzi or outdoor pool, deck, a queen-sized bed, LCD flat screen, oversized bathrooms and 24-hour room service.

Forget the demands of everyday life as you bask in the sun-drenched, tangerine-bright wonder of a room. During daylight hours, the deck with a his and hers sunbed is a good spot to sip that glass of complimentary wine. A few steps away from the villa are the exciting waterpark, the island pool and the Cabana Lounge.

Stay until it’s time for dinner at Café Amiga where Imperial Palace confines traditional Filipino cooking coupled with Italian cuisine. Their Sweet and Sour Pork Spareribs served with grilled corn on the cob, Greek salad, and a choice of steamed rice or potato wedges recently just populated their menu. Don’t forget to order this along with Imperial Palace’s famous Imperial burgers. Also open to non-hotel guests, Café Amiga celebrates the best of the territory without being imprisoned by the confines of both cultures.

The Palace’s Lifestyle Villa truly sees the luxurious rebirth of the resort with the new management under its wings. Its over-the-top opulence has already been claimed as one of Cebu’s most coveted holiday destinations. Imperial Palace Waterpark and Spa Cebu is located at M.L. Quezon Highway, Brgy. Maribago, Lapu-Lapu City. For reservations, call +63 32 494 5555 or email  [email protected]. (FREEMAN)
