00:00Hi, Smart Parenting fam! We're here at the Queen City of the South, Cebu.
00:20In this episode of Smart Parenting Guide, together with our Smart Parenting Moms and
00:23Dads, we're going to explore a must-visit family destination, Salaya Mactan Resort.
00:29Only 45 minutes away from the airport, Salaya Hotels and Resort Mactan promises a fun-filled
00:45stay for the whole family. Ready to uncover what makes it special? Let's find out more.
00:51So, could you tell us about the features of Salaya Mactan Resort?
00:56So, Salaya Mactan Resort is a family-centric resort catered for kids. And our guests can
01:04feel it the moment they step inside. With the interiors, we have very colorful interiors.
01:11The characters we have, they're very fun and playful. And aside from that, we also have
01:17facilities to accommodate our families. So, we have nine pools, and a highlight of those
01:23pools is our water park. This was just opened last year, and this is for both adults and kids.
01:30So, they can swim, they can play. And we also have pools specifically for kids, like our aqua play.
01:37And we also have our inflatables for both kids and adults. So, there's a lot of activities that
01:44families can do within the resort. There are three hotels inside this sprawling 13-hectare property.
01:53Salaya Palm,
01:58Salaya Sea View,
02:03and Salaya Mactan.
02:08For rooms, we have three buildings. We have 555 rooms.
02:13And now, another highlight I want to mention is our playrooms. We have three playrooms right now,
02:19and we're still expanding that. So, yeah. So, it's really a place for kids, and the kids at heart.
02:26Speaking of playrooms, here's a quick Neverland Playroom Tour
02:30with our smart parenting kid, Addy.
02:34We love its fun interiors.
02:38Wow, it has a ball pit, and it's light in the room.
02:43If the kids want to stay in and play, you can order food for in-room dining.
02:49This room has exclusive access to a kids' channel.
02:56We have the cutest welcome treats to kick off your relaxing stay.
03:00The bathroom is spacious, perfect for families with multiple kids.
03:05Overall, how many stars will you give it, Addy?
03:08I'll give it 10 stars because I super love it!
03:17It's splash o'clock.
03:21Trivia time. Did you know that there are two types of toys in the playroom?
03:25It's splash o'clock.
03:28It's trivia time. Did you know that Saleya Mactan's pools are named after their loving employees?
03:42Time to hit the waterpark with smart parenting mom, Diane, and her kids, Julian and Gian.
04:03Saleya Mactan's latest attraction, the aquapark,
04:06offers fun and excitement for both adults and kids alike.
04:10Here, parents can relax knowing there's always a lifeguard keeping watch.
04:14With thrilling slides and loads of water fun,
04:17mommy Diane and her kids made waves and unforgettable memories together.
04:26The fun keeps going at our next stop, the inflatable waterpark.
04:31Safety first, let's gear up with our vests.
04:34The inflatable waterpark offers a fun, family-friendly challenge and a great bonding experience.
04:42It's a playful way to get active with your kids,
04:44and everyone will have a memorable time, even if it means getting a little goofy.
04:50Smart parenting tip, the inflatable waterpark is ideal for kids who are a bit older and ready for a thrilling challenge.
04:58What did our smart parenting kids think of the attraction?
05:01What did our smart parenting kids think of the attraction?
05:06I'll give it a five out of five because it's good.
05:10My favorite, we're going on the slide at aquapark and kayaking.
05:15I'll give it four stars because of climbing to get to the slide.
05:20I mean, the inflatables are fun, but it's kind of hard to climb.
05:24As a family, I would give Saleya five out of five because it has so many
05:28things we can do here as a family.
05:30I can go to the slide with them, I can go in the inflatables with them.
05:35So it's like we can enjoy the area bonding together.
05:40And now, it's the toddler's turn to splash around and enjoy the water.
05:44Our smart parenting kid, Addy, tries aqua play with mommy Cherry and daddy Jello.
05:59Aqua play is designed for young kids to enjoy splashing and wading in under two feet of water,
06:04giving parents the option to join in the fun or relax nearby.
06:09I really like the aqua play park, the one for toddlers.
06:14It's very toddler friendly and the kids enjoy all of the activities that you can do,
06:19like the water blaster, the slide, and especially the rubber matting.
06:23It's very safe for kids.
06:24So Addy, how many stars would you give Saleya Cebu?
06:28Five. I love the place, it's super fun!
06:33Smart parenting tip, moms and dads, don't forget to pack your child's swim diapers
06:40so that they can enjoy playing in the water worry-free.
06:44So as parents, we give Saleya Cebu five out of five for the facilities and also how well
06:50everything was thought of for the families to really enjoy and have fun together.
06:55We're taking a break from all the water fun and going to a play wonderland for the kids.
07:01Where are we going next?
07:02The Happy Pebbles Club!
07:04Yay!
07:10The Happy Pebbles Club is a playland for the whole family.
07:18It has a ball pit, slides,
07:25arcade, and board games for adults and young adults.
07:31Smart parenting tip, just like any other play place, you need to bring socks.
07:36What we love about Happy Pebbles Club is that while your kids are busy,
