Did you know that Cebu’s best kept secret is in Carmen?
Yes, we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw it too as with just a turn at a corner, we seemed to have been transported to a whole new country.
Located in Carmen, this private and exclusive luxury beach resort, Cebu Beach House and Villa, became our home for 3 days and 2 nights and we will share our memorable and restful experience here in this tell-all.
Mexican hacienda Homes
We saw the pictures and we’ve read their website but nothing could have prepared us to the magnificence of the place in real life.
With the prominent hacienda architectural style that is common in Spain and Mexico, it felt like it wasn’t in the Philippines more so in Cebu.
These beautiful shade of orange villas we occupied had red clay roof tiles and uses heavy rustic wood accents to solidify the hacienda experience. You can wake up to the breathtaking view of the reflections of the trees and vast sky in the sparkling pool along with the view of the sea and the overall effect of the tint of orange in the atmosphere.
Mediterranean Vibes
The place encourages a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere that you can definitely enjoy with your family and friends. It is reflected in the design of this style: from light outdoor furniture to wooden, forged and stone decor elements.
The Mediterranean style in interior design is characterized by simple and romantic aesthetics with light and warm tones in color scheme, as well as the extensive use of beautiful intricate wood pieces.
Sunny romance of Spain, the abundance of warm colors of Italy, the marine freshness of Greece and the spices of Morocco, the decoration in Mediterranean style will surely become the embodiment of all the above.
Food that are just a chef’s kiss
The open-plan kitchens of both The Beach House, The Beach Villa, and The Native Beach House are fully-fitted and well-stocked to whip up anything your heart desires. Should you decide to not lift a finger, a chef and five full time staff are around to cater to your needs. A menu is on-hand for suggestions and inspiration, while a local produce market is not too far away. Really, what you want to eat and when you want to eat are all up to you, and few private Cebu resorts have this arrangement on offer.
Your private chef is on-hand to cook a variety of mouth watering international dishes, from freshly caught crabs, to chicken madras curry, to home-made pasta, and pizzas in the wood-burning oven. We make an effort to source authentic (when available) international ingredients as well as the freshest local ingredients to create your tasty meals from scratch. We maintain a stock of food items such as fresh bread, pastas, milk, egg, and etc. as well as soft drinks, alcoholic beverages of various price ranges, and local beers. Drinks are kept at the right temperature, ready to be served as soon as you arrive.
All meals, food items, and beverages will be charged as consumed at very reasonable rates.
