Whenever I was traveling, I try to check if there's a good spa or massage services at the resort or hotel I am staying at. The better hotels and resorts have the best facilities and these include Shangri-La, Sofitel and Marriott. With the COVID-19 pandemic still about, one has to be more careful about where to go for a relaxing, stress-relieving massage. And so we have not had our usual massages since 2020 as we had not traveled since the lockdowns of March 2020. One of the reasons we decided to stay at Shangri-La Mactan was the Chi Spa at the resort. We knew that it was already open and that surely they implement health protocols to ensure the safety of their customers. Here are a few photos taken at Shang Mactan on the way to the Chi Spa.

Quiet spaces inside the resort - I think this is basically part of its mini golf course. |
The entrance to the spa is just beyond those trees |

Inviting sight |
Bird statues at the pond. The fountain was not activated when I was there. |

Welcome drink and hot towel to freshen up after the walk from the hotel |

Understandably, I did not take photos of where I had my massage. That is in one of the villas in the compound. It gives customers the privacy and quiet one needs to enjoy the treatment. The facilities are definitely well maintained and sanitized. The service was tops as expected. We'll definitely be back at Shang Mactan and the Chi Spa in the near future.
