Mactan Island’s coastline has shifted a long way from its fishing-and-guitar-making past, and Jpark is part of that shift — a resort complex built around a water park and pool circuit as much as the beach itself. Mactan is also the island where Lapu-Lapu’s forces defeated Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, a fact easy to forget on a property built around slides and lazy rivers rather than history.
- Water slides and a lazy river anchor the family side of the property, built to keep kids occupied for a full day without leaving the grounds.
- Dining options run across several cuisines within the resort, useful if you’d rather not leave for meals.
- Private beach frontage is reserved for guests, which keeps the shoreline quieter than the public stretches elsewhere on Mactan.
