I have been hearing much about how awesome the waterpark was at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Cebu. The place was massive by Philippine standards. And I liked how security was strict for every vehicle that went inside the hotel grounds. The lobby was quite big that I had to ask twice on where and how to purchase day tickets for their waterpark.
We were ushered at the 2nd table on the left of the lobby, and I paid PhP 1,700.00 for me and Php 1,100.00 for Sky to use the waterpark facility throughout the day. It also includes a buffet lunch at the Familia restaurant or we can spend PhP1,000 each for food and drinks ala carte. We also get an additional 20% discount if we choose to have our dinner at any of their restaurants there.
We were there on a Friday, so I think we had a better price than the one pictured above. The number of people were doable and we had lots of personal space on our own. We went straight to deposit our things in a keyless locker that is free to use for day users. And were give two towels, but had to give them an Identification card as a deposit. You can have your towels changed anytime, just as long as you surrender them at the end of your stay.
Sky wore a rash guard and was slathered with lots of SPF. I like the sun and all, but I didn’t want Sky to get burned and ache all over after such a fun day.
We hit the kiddie area that is called the Captain’s Hook pool. Sliding down 100 hundred million times was the first order of the day.
This part of Imperial Palace Waterpark was a HEAVEN for Sky. When he got used to how to go around the area. I had a chance to relax a bit on a lounge chair while I watched him play and make friends in the pool playground.
By lunchtime, Sky was ravenous. We dried ourselves a bit and went to Familia restaurant for FOOD. He requested for his favorite pesto spaghetti cooked at the pasta station – and even asked for seconds. 
Because I like taste testing, I don’t spoon everything in my plate even if it’s a buffet. Had sample sized portions of what I fancied, so I have space for dessert! But, I had three plates of this sampler plates though! 
After Sky gorged himself with marshmallows dripping in dark chocolate from the chocolate fountain, we each grabbed an inflatable pool in the flowing river area and just CHILLED. Stories of dolphins and pirates echoed in the river pool as we floated on and on. Up until they switched on the waves in one of the entry and exit points in flowing river pool!
The next time Sky and I go back to Cebu, we will definitely spend two days just enjoying this place. It is one of the kid friendly resorts here in The Philippines that anyone can be comfortable in. I hope next time Sky will be big enough to go parasailing with me!
