EVERYTHING MARCO POLO

WEEKENDS. Unwind from a hectic workweek and make the most out of the weekend with Marco Polo Plaza Cebu’s Superduper Weekend Deal! Weekends may be short but one can always maximize the time with the exceptional comfort and value that Marco Polo has to offer for as low as P3,800. If weekends translate to family days, one may spend quality time enjoying the hotel’s amenities. Treat the kids to exciting activities with the Piccolo Kids Club. And to add to the list is the P500 credit per stay on food and beverage and spa services at the Wellness Zone. This offer is applicable on Friday, Saturday and Monday and is subject to availability.

MALICIOUS COOKIES. Marco Polo Plaza’s Malicious Cookies are one of the country’s best, according to the book “Best Desserts 3.” It is authored by Vangie Baga-Reyes and it is the much awaited and most-read list of a new delicious roster of premium sweet confections. The book was launched last Feb. 6. Marco Polo Plaza Cebu’s e-marketing manager Yumny Mariot, Café Marco supervisor Loren Escalante, commis chef Karl Ramos and sales manager Gelmor Nagares were there to accept the recognition for the Malicious Cookies. These freshly baked cookies are available at the dessert section of Café Marco. They weren’t always called Malicious Cookies until a hotel guest exclaimed: “These freshly baked chocolate chip cookies are maliciously good!”

LOVE LETTER WINNER. As part of the hotel’s annual Valentine tradition, it launched the third Love Letters contest last February. The winner was Jhanis Vincentte S. Villadolid (right), who wrote a love letter to her husband, Glenn. Here’s an excerpt: “I bet it wasn’t easy for you to have become a father so early, when the world was right in front of you for the taking, when life was a party and women and beer were aplenty. The choice between big bosomed women versus dirty diapers can be confusing but you chose to be a father and a good one at that.” Villadolid bested 115 other letter senders.
