Merry Christmas!

Don’t be intimidated by Dolce Cafe’s posh tone, Dolce’s offerings are worth every dime. Their prices are a very affordable. They serve meals like tuna turnovers, quiches, salads, fresh fruits, cheesecakes, buttercakes, cheese burgers and salmon burgers, and since it’s a coffee shop - the usual round of coffee; hot, iced and blended.

Their delicious cakes

The MENU:

The cafe is a few meters away from Marco Polo hotel, so there are also other amenities you can enjoy that are just few steps away; the Leisure spa, Anzani (an Italian restaurant) and Bellini (a wine shop) and where else can you get a good cup of coffee with a mountain view of Cebu City?

You can purchase items from them as well

The Gazebo

Even the restrooms have a decoration

It was my first time going to the cafe and  I was really surprised at how affordable it is. My housemates and I decided to go there to chill. It was December so the cafe was decorated with Santas to have a Christmas-y theme. It was raining that time so we didn't have a chance to sit out and just watch the overlooking scene of the city. It is a place worth checking out.

Cebu Westown Lagoon

 

Cebu Westown Lagoon is a breath of paradise in the otherwise busy and cosmopolitan city. The tropical ambience promises the ultimate staycation place in Cebu and gives the locals a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city life. They got Playland for kids, adult and kiddie pools, two medium-sized heated Jacuzzis, and 2 slides that are 20ft. and 30ft. long. They also have a restaurant that is quite affordable for those who don't want to be burdened with bringing their own foods. You can choose to get the small cottages that have one table each or the big cottages that have two tables but you  can also opt out and get the free tables on the common areas at the sides though this is on a first-come, first-served basis. There are also various tents and lounge chairs for you to choose from. One doesn’t have to go far to enjoy day and night attractions of Cebu since a Live Entertainment  Bar, Restaurant, KTV Bar, pool table and a disco are within the hotel vicinity. Two large shopping malls are within easy walking distance as well. One major perk for this place is that they have no corkage fee on outside food and drinks except for Alcoholic beverages and I heard that Lechon is also one at Php500 each item.

Its convenient location made us decide to have our Team Socials/Outing at Westown Lagoon. We paid 200 pesos/person for the entrance fee as they currently are on promo rate. Regular price is 400 pesos for entrance. We went there after work. The place is still nice even at night as the pools are illuminated with colorful lights though they only allow swimming activity until 11PM.

They are located:

FF Cruz Moonlight St., Subangdaku NRA

Mandaue 6014, Philippines
