If the name Mövenpick sounds familiar to you, it is probably because you’ve already heard of the ice cream brand. Personally, I’ve always known it to be that: a dessert on a menu, which is why I was very surprised to find out it is also a hotel in Cebu–a very good one at that (if you think about it, it seems about right to associate ice cream with a hotel chain, especially when you’re in a tropical country).

I was lucky enough to stay at the five-star beach-front hotel for a LOOK editorial shoot, and I was blown away with how pretty the place was. Originally the old Hilton hotel, Mövenpick underwent major renovation to make this a fresh and modern get-away. I loved its cool design and interiors, not to mention its super comfortable rooms and delish food. It also has a little patch of fine-white sand beach, which I really enjoyed (you know how much I love the beach), and a popular day/night spot, called Ibiza Beach Club.
