The carpet from hell IMPERIAL PALACE CEBU

"Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort and Spa is a luxury Cebu beach resort located in Maribago, Mactan Island, Cebu Philippines.
The resort is around 10-15 from the airport and 30-40 minutes to Cebu City proper." 


"proper" Like not proper on any even number hour or if the sun is in the 3rd quarter or the wind is blowing south....


Looking up some prices that are unavailable on the original and direct website... I found some room photos and wow i'm not staying there! With carpet like this i just don't like it. What on earth possessed someone to choose a non-stable or bland colour. What is this the VIP room of a nightclub or exotic gaming room of a casino both places that stimulation might be accepted. In this case i would wake up relaxed in then step out of bed to OMG WTF ITS RAVE! or just puke from the interior designers epic fail.


I was looking at the basic room and since the rate are fair maybe moving to a better room but now... no, nope, not if you twist my arm!

Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu

Nice, very nice.

Very welcoming staff and the spacious foyer is a nice change to some Cebu hotels that can be over packed or has a foyer layout in such a way that all people and luggage are piled in one corner...

Breakfast is excellent despite the mushy hashbrowns and the tyre rubber bacon i really shouldn't be eating that anyway. A small number of cheeses are available, i say small but more than any other hotel in Cebu offer.

Buffet layout was rather extended but well planned with rice and dried fish at one end, breads, cerials and commons in the middle and fruits at the other side.

Seating was superb with no 2 seats ontop of each other, or 2 table close. Maybe more of a western thing we enjoy our personal space, we don't want to see the food in the teeth of the person of the next table or hear his every chewing sound. Like the close nit traffic here, i believe locals can be packed in like sardines and they don't really have an issue with it.

In Australia if you are in a rush and squeeze too close to someone in traffic you will often get verbally abused ad threatened even if they are outside their lane. Damage to them none, delay to them none but just because you imposed their personal space that some how seems to go beyond their car. This doesn't exist in Cebu nor would it be possible to develop or exist due to the close nit traffic conditions.

Smile! It doesn't hurt ;)

SICK AGAIN...PART 2?!

Sick again, Feeling bad as before or worse. Stool is just water with small particles and i feel the need to vomit. The idea of food makes me want to vomit more. After the first few hours of water loss the scales show only 1 kilo of weight loss... Felt like more.

Trying to keep fluids up again, i'm going to avoid hospital this time. In fear the doctor might try to sell me shares in a non-existent holiday condo in Kazakhstan...

Last time i had pizza the night before and this time i had pizza the night before. My tummy is bloated yet empty and sore as hell just like before. Maybe partly from the cheese? Back home i put cheese on everything but in this case maybe the virus is making use of the chance to slow my digestive system? Also noting the first was after Greenwich pizza and the second after pizza hut. I like my pizza ^_^
