A day at Cebu Westown Lagoon

Cebu West town lagoon is located near MO2 Mandaue City. It started accommodating guests last August 2014. If you're looking for a place where you can relax with your family but doesn't like to go away from the City, then this place fits your criteria. I personally like the swimming pool because of its size, and there is a separate pool for the kids.

What I don't like about this place is their slides. It's very dangerous for kids, and even adults. I was traumatize with their slides because I hit my head hard and almost lost consciousness there. Close call. I will never ever recommend that slide to anyone! Anyway, aside from that everything is perfect.

How to get to Cebu Westown Lagoon? 

Here is a screenshot for googlemap in going to MO2/Cebu Westown Lagoon.

Its just a few kilometers away from the City proper.

Tips:

Make a reservation and pay it asap because they only have few cottages.

Bring your own food, drinks, etc...

Overall, the place is nice and clean. The swimming pool is perfect, and the attendants are very hospitable and attentive.

Don't wear slippers on the white part of the pool or the lifeguard will blow his whistle really hard on you..lol
