An idyllic afternoon is one where you rent a pair of fins and drift with 160 species of aquatic life in the resort&#8217;s Marine Sanctuary, from the electric-blue-fringed angelfish to the more diminutive wrasse. CHI, a secluded spa, incorporates traditional healing method treatments like a Mactan synergy scrub using Sampaguita, the country\u2019s national flower.
