Abaca Restaurant

Reviewed By diam0nd_traveller - Zurich

Excellent. Very difficult to fault, we really enjoyed visiting and eating in this amazing restaurant.
Banana shake was perfect.
Before the starter, arrived some freshly baked bread with sesame seeds
Bruschetta was fresh, the bread toasted perfectly with fresh tomatoes and was delicious
Sea bass was cooked to perfection, slightly crunchy and came with spaghetti
The service was impeccable.
Fantastic ambience. Simple design but best left to be experienced.

Acqua at Shangri-La's Mactan Resort & Spa

Acqua serves modern authentic Italian cuisine with a panoramic view of the ocean. Its signature pizzas, baked in a classic brick oven, are popular favorites.

Reviewed By kikoMarbella - Marbella, Spain

Acqua was our favourite restaurant at the Shangri-La Cebu, the other restaurants were really nice but the high quality pasta and the delicious pizza made a difference, fresh produce, great waiting staff and a real Italian chef made our dinners truly enjoyable, I had the Black Tagliolini with Creamy Crab Meat Sauce and the next night Fettuccelle with Truffle and Porcini Mushroom Cream Sauce... Both were 10 out of 10... my son says the spaguetti bolognese is 15 out of 15 :o)

It made our night wonderful. We came with no reservation and almost closing. Anyhow, they accommodated our group without giving us a cut off time.
It was my first time in that restaurant so choosing of food took us a while. Well, it's worth the price and time; among our best choice was the Peking duck that was served in 3 different menu. I loved it!

Reviewed By LeeYip - London

I’ll keep this simple:
Plus points:
- Great staff especially Ray who was always attentive and hard working.
- Food was nice
Negative points:
- small beach so you can’t walk around
- Twice our room was not replenished with toiletries and from there onwards we had to write a note asking for these
- room was not made after coming back at night from a day trip to the city mall
I will give this hotel 6/10

Ibiza Beach Club

Stunning architecture and spectacular ocean views make Ibiza Cebu the finest place for food and entertainment in the island. Aside from its DJ sets, themed dance Performances and show bands, one of the most unique experiences this club and restaurant offers is the Balearic-inspired, signature 15-course grill.

Reviewed By vernalyngraceamistad - Cebu City, Philippines

The place is really a 5-star. Very elegant. I went there with my friends and we enjoyed much, especially the food, entertainment, and the jacuzzi. The staff was really accomodating, especially "Maricon" she satisfied us with her service and she was so amazing. She felt us that nothing compares Ibiza Restaurant. Kudos!
