Wazzup Pilipinas!?
From August 17 to 20, 2024, the Wazzup Pilipinas family, led by Wazzup Pilipinas founder and CEO, Ross Flores Del Rosario, embarked on a delightful family staycation at The Noble Cebu Hotel. This staycation was not just a retreat but also an opportunity to strengthen bonds and create lasting memories within the family.
For your guidance, we intentionally chose an early morning flight to stay away from the rush hours, and we booked our flight via Cebu Pacific a month before so it will definitely be cheaper. Total cost of our flight was only above 15k and that's already round-trip for all five of us.
We will soon upload videos on our official Facebook page and YouTube channel so watch out for them.
Arrival and Warm Welcome
The Wazzup Pilipinas family arrived at The Noble Cebu Hotel on the early morning of August 17, but still was greeted with the signature hospitality the hotel is known for. Situated in the heart of Cebu City just a few walking steps away from the Cebu IT Park, The Noble Cebu Hotel offered the perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and a prime location, making it an ideal choice for the staycation.
Upon arrival, the family was welcomed with a smooth check-in process. The hotel staff ensured that the check-in was smooth and efficient, allowing everyone to quickly settle into room 1701 at the 17th floor with ease.
Exploring the Luxurious Amenities
The Noble Cebu Hotel boasts an array of top-notch amenities, all of which the Wazzup Pilipinas family eagerly explored. The modern room, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, provided a cozy and serene environment for everyone to unwind. The hotel’s roofdeck restaurant called Skydeck360 became a favorite spot, offering panoramic views of the city skyline on both day and night, while the huge ground floor pool is where the family enjoyed leisurely swims and sunbathing sessions during the early mornings and late afternoon until evening. Pool hours is from 9am to 9pm.
For those looking to stay active, the hotel’s fully-equipped fitness center located at the lower ground floor was available as early as 7am, while the daily morning walks at their mini park provided rejuvenating exercise that helped the family relax and destress.
Culinary Delights and Dining Experiences
Food was a highlight of the staycation, with The Noble Cebu Hotel offering a variety of dining options that catered to all tastes. The hotel’s restaurant featured a diverse menu that included both local and international cuisine, prepared by skilled chefs who took pride in presenting dishes that were as visually appealing as they were delicious. From the daily breakfast buffets up to the dinner time plated meals, the family enjoyed every bite.
The Wazzup Pilipinas family also indulged in a series of meals during their lunch outs at different restaurants that showcased Cebu’s rich culinary heritage, with a special focus on local delicacies such as lechon, cansi, sutukil, and Cebuano-style grilled seafood. A highlight of the dining experience was the themed dinner nights, where the team enjoyed a mix of traditional and contemporary dishes in a vibrant setting.
Exploring Cebu’s Attractions
While the staycation was centered around relaxation, the Wazzup Pilipinas family also took the opportunity to explore some of Cebu City’s iconic attractions. Guided tours were organized to historical landmarks such as Magellan’s Cross, Fort San Pedro, and the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, allowing the family to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of Cebu.
The family also enjoyed a day trip to Mactan Island, where they indulged in water activities like snorkeling and jet skiing. The pristine beaches and clear blue waters provided a perfect backdrop for a day of fun and adventure.
Bonding Activities for the Family
The staycation wasn’t just about relaxation; it was also a chance for the Wazzup Pilipinas family to engage in family-bonding activities that fostered camaraderie and strengthened their relationships as a family. The hotel room’s spaces were utilized for interactive games, workshops, and brainstorming sessions, all designed to enhance collaboration and communication within the family.
One of the highlights was a special “Wazzup Pilipinas Family Night,” where everyone participated in a talent showcase, dramatic acting sessions, and a dance-off. The evening was filled with laughter, music, and a sense of togetherness, making it one of the most memorable moments of the staycation.
A Heartfelt Farewell
As the staycation came to an end on August 20, the Wazzup Pilipinas family left The Noble Cebu Hotel with hearts full of gratitude and minds refreshed. The experience not only provided a much-needed break from the daily grind but also strengthened the bonds among family members, setting the stage for even greater moments in the future.
