With both Enye and AKA offering distinct yet equally satisfying culinary experiences, Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan has become a must-visit destination for food lovers Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan has reopened this year after a challenging recovery from Typhoon Odette, which struck Cebu in December 2021. Located in Lapu-Lapu City, the resort was among many properties that faced significant damage during the storm. After months of restoration, Crimson has revitalized its facilities, offering guests a renewed experience.
This reopening is timely, as Crimson has been included in the Michelin Guide’s 2024 recommendations, reinforcing its standing as one of the Philippines' top hotels. A key highlight of this revitalization is the relaunch of Enye by Chele Gonzalez, the resort’s signature Spanish restaurant. Known for blending traditional Spanish flavors with contemporary culinary techniques, Enye has introduced a refreshed menu under its new chef de cuisine, Javier Amador.
Together with Chef Chele, Amador has curated a menu that reflects a forward-thinking approach to Spanish cuisine while staying rooted in tradition. “At Enye, we focus on quality and authenticity. Our aim is to bring Spanish flavors but with a local twist, which makes the experience truly unique,” said Chef Chele during a media stay at Crimson.
This commitment is evident in the wide array of tapas and multi-course dishes designed to provide a memorable dining experience. The dinner menu begins with Tapa.
