As we continue to feel the tail end of summer and while the kids are still on school break, booking a trip to Cebu for your next family vacation sounds like a good idea! Aside from its pristine beaches, historical sites, and amazing food, Cebu promises a memorable vacation that caters to every member of the family. But do you know that there are more reasons to visit the Queen City of The South? For this trip, we explore the family-friendly Solea Resort in Mactan. Here’s what we loved!

Solea Resort, Mactan @soleamactanresort

1. Solea’s Playroom Suites

Solea Mactan offers spacious and themed suites designed with families in mind. From pirate adventures to dreams of being in Everland, each room is creatively decorated to ensure parents' comfort and ignite children's imaginations and make their bedroom goals come true–I mean a ball pit at the foot of your bed and a slide to come down from yours isn’t a bad idea, right?

2. Aqua Park Fun

Dive into excitement at Solea Resort's Aqua Park, a water wonderland for kids and adults alike. Featuring the Aqua Play perfect for kids, and the more challenging Lagoon and Waterpark which promises endless hours of fun under the sun.

3. Delicious Culinary Delights

We didn’t find the need to leave the resort as Solea's diverse dining options showcasing local and international flavors were a hit for everyone in the family. Here’s a tip: make your way just before sunset to Salt & Sky lounge for happy hour and the best views of the city and sea.

4. Beach Access

When you’re all pool’d out, which I doubt because Solea has eight pools in the property, allowing us to enjoy pools that aren’t as crowded for a change, Solea’s well maintained beach is just a few steps away making it perfect for your beach fix.

5. Family-Focused Activities

Beyond the Aqua Park and beach, Solea Resort offers a plethora of activities for families to bond and explore together. Happy Pebbles Club is an indoor playground perfect for the kids and family as you take a break from the sun and Nouveau Spa is a not miss, as the massages make the perfect escape to recharge and unwind from the demands of parenthood, work and everything in between. You’re in vacation after all, so book it!
