Mövenpick offers exciting entertainment for Sinulog

CEBU, Philippines - Mövenpick Resort and Spa Cebu girds up to give a spectacular Sinulog celebration that's one for the books. To celebrate the largest festival in the country, the upscale resort is ready for the best the Sinulog season has to offer through a string of exciting and enticing activities throughout the 13th till the 15th of January.

Ten-foot Santo Niño

The festivity starts right in the lobby where devotees and tourists can take photos of a giant wood-carved Santo Niño (the Holy Child Jesus), the focal point of the Sinulog festival. Owned by the Acebedo family, the 10-foot sculpture has won in several previous Sinulog parades as official entry to the float category. Made by master carvers from Paete, Laguna—known to be the country’s carving capital—it could very well be the largest wooden image of the Santo Niño on display throughout Cebu during the festival.

The Best of Both Worlds

Catch the heart-thumping rhythm of the Sinulog dance which fires up the Fiesta Señor ambiance that is recreated in the lobby through the parade route, the Larsian barbeque stalls (Cebu’s popular barbeque complex), and the festive atmosphere that is characteristic throughout Cebu during the third week of January. Henna tattoo and face-painting stations are set up to give hotel guests colorful skin art and the pigmentation to blend right in the scene of the revelers at the Philippines ' biggest party.

Enjoy the best of both worlds as you luxuriate in the comfort and convenience of a deluxe room, or venture to the heart of the action and be one with the pulse of the Grand Sinulog Parade. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to designated areas near the parade route on Sinulog Sunday, and back to the hotel where a SPA-rty with complimentary snacks and drinks await guests to be reenergized after a full day.

Great Deal!

Guests can fully enjoy a distinctly Mövenpick Sinulog experience. The generous package comes with a deluxe room, buffet breakfast for two at the Vanilla Beach Café, complimentary transfers to the City for the Sinulog Grand Parade, and a SPA-rty (barbeque snacks and a 10-minute foot bath and massage) to welcome guests back when they return from the parade. Plus, it includes a Sinulog-themed shirt, and face-paint and henna tattoo to boot!
