🍫 Chocolate Hour: Daily at 3 PM

One of Movenpick’s signature experiences, Chocolate Hour, is a must-try feature included with the Day Use access.

Every day, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, head to the Lobby Lounge and indulge in a delightful spread of chocolate creations, each inspired by Swiss tradition. Whether you have a love for rich chocolate, creamy truffles, or fudgy brownies, you’ll find an array of decadent treats to satisfy your cravings. The selection includes chocolate mini donuts, marshmallows drizzled with premium chocolate, mini pandan cakes, and a variety of other chocolate-based goodies that are all locally sourced, especially with chocolate from Argao, Cebu, for a unique, regional twist.

This sweet experience is available not only to Day Use guests but also to those who have checked in at the hotel, making it a special afternoon treat for all visitors. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing break in the afternoon, and it’s guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth while you unwind in the resort’s beautiful atmosphere.

Even better? Movenpick proudly uses locally sourced chocolate from Argao, Cebu in many of their handmade confections.


🌿 Garden Cabanas: Add-On Comfort and Privacy

If you’re looking for an extra layer of relaxation, Movenpick’s Garden Cabanas are the perfect way to elevate your Day Use experience. I absolutely loved spending my time in the cabana, especially the jacuzzi and the cozy lounge area—it was like a mini retreat within the resort. The serene environment made it easy to relax, with plenty of space to unwind in privacy, whether you’re solo or with loved ones.

There are 4 cabanas available:

  • 2 premium cabanas feature their own private bathroom, shower, and a jacuzzi—perfect for those who want extra comfort and privacy.
  • All cabanas offer a peaceful and secluded ambiance, making it an ideal spot for couples, small groups, or anyone looking for a more intimate experience.

One of the best parts? The cabana rental is consumable on food and drinks, so you can indulge in Movenpick’s delicious offerings without ever having to leave your little sanctuary. We ordered from the The Sails and The Forum menus, and the food was incredible—perfectly paired with the relaxing atmosphere. Whether you’re enjoying pasta, a croissant sandwich, or pizza, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect accompaniment to a laid-back day.

The croissant sandwich was so savory, and the pasta carbonara was creamy and satisfying. The pizza was a hit as well, with a perfectly thin crust and just the right amount of toppings. It was the ideal meal to enjoy while relaxing by the jacuzzi and the beach.

If you’re thinking about booking a cabana, I highly recommend it—whether for a romantic getaway, a small celebration, or just a peaceful day to unwind. It’s the ultimate way to enjoy Mövenpick Cebu’s hospitality, food, and privacy all in one go.
