Nights at The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu

Hey everyone! So this post will be somewhat like a continuation of my previous one which was about The Terraces at Ayala Center Cebu. As you can already see in my photos, I’ll be showing you guys on how it is to be at The Ayala Terraces at night.

When you're in the city, The Ayala Terraces is probably the best place to be at night. If you're the kind of person who's just looking for relaxation and clean fun during the night, I would definitely recommend The Ayala Terraces for you. Aside from the good food and cool ambiance, they also have occasional mini concerts which you can watch while dining or just cozying under the stars. They usually hold the concerts on the 'stage' under the big leaf-life structure at the middle of the park (see below photo).

The great thing that I like about being at The Terraces at night is their lights. They don't only have cute lampposts scattered all over the landscaping but the lights in the buildings actually change in different fun colors. Here, I'll show you:

So the images above show the big leaf-like structure in different colors. And the ones below show the building where the outdoor elevators are.

Cool huh! Anyway, here are the rest of the photos.

Remember this on my The Ayala Terraces post? This was the part of the park where people lounge and have picnics in the afternoon. And the photo below is right beside this 'picnic' area. Both the walk path above and the corridor in the photo below leads to Marriot Hotel. That one with blue neon lights on the right (of below photo) is the clinic of Belo Medical Group.

Okay, I don't know if you can see it but the next photo includes the magnificent Waterfront Hotel towering in the background.

And in the next two photos you can see a small water fountain (which I haven't shown you guys in my last post). This is located in one of the exit/entrance areas of the park where the taxi cabs queue.


So I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I'll talk to you soon! Bye!

The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu

Hey guys! Today's post will be a feature of one of the famous and favorite "tambayans" or hang out centers of Cebuanos, The Terraces at the Ayala Center Cebu.

The Terraces had been around for some time now and ever since it was developed it has been the favorite hang out center and meeting place of both locales and tourists. Not only is it situated near the heart of the city but it is actually a part of the Ayala Mall where most of the restaurants and coffee shops are.

As you can see in the photos, The Terraces is a beautiful park with lots of greens and landscaping. So whether you're looking for a nice place for lunch or dinner, or just wanting to lounge around inside a coffee shop or relax near the trees or water fountain, The Terraces is a great place for you :)
Among the restaurants that you can dine in at The Terraces are:

• Lemon Grass - serves Thai cuisine

And I think I haven't mentioned all of them but those are just the ones that I can remember :) There are also of course coffee houses such as:

• UCC Coffee
• Seattle's Best
• Starbucks (duh, hehehe)
• Bo's Coffee
• Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
  

There was also a Gloria Jean's but they closed unfortunately. Sayang, I really like pa naman Gloria Jean's Coffees.

Anyway, so here are the rest of the photos that I took. Hope you'd enjoy them :)




This area here can get really relaxing and comfortable during the afternoon. A lot of people bring their "banig" or mat and some other picnic stuff and have a picnic or just lie and relax around.

So I hope you guys enjoyed this post and for those of you who haven't been to The Terraces yet (especially the tourists), I would strongly recommend it for you! There's also a Marriot Hotel right by it which is very convenient.

Okay so talk to you later!
