[2025 Lapu-Lapu City Restaurant] Travel Guide for Cowrie Cove at Shangri-La's Mactan Resort & Spa (Updated May)

Food was amazing and view was to die for! However, service needed much attention. Went This was an al fresco dining on the beach and it was so humid yet nothing was done to take care of this. Factoring all, I’m torn between treating it a good experience (good and ambience) and downright disappointing (service and temperature). To add salt to the wound, we highly recommended this place but with what went down, I reckon this would ever be considered again for a good place to eat. I mean more than a hour waiting time before you can finally eat is just to much. #foodie

#MayTravelSupport I had octopus with a friend in Cebu, Philippines, and it was really delicious. The chewy texture of the octopus and the savory seasoning made my mouth full of happiness. It tasted even more special when I ate it while feeling the sea breeze. ❤️ I want to eat it again next time I go there.

The branches are heavy with new growth, their deep green leaves forming a canopy over the pathways. Sunlight filters through the mango trees, casting a soft glow on the ground below.

Clusters of young coconuts begin to form, their pale green shells glistening under the sun. The ocean breeze carries the scent of salt and tropical flowers through the gardens.
