My Top 5 Reasons Why We Truly Enjoyed Our Stay

1. Their Hospitality and Warm Smiles

I guess this has to be the top of my list. Their staff and crew are very welcoming, helpful and courteous. It literally felt our second home and the experience was absolutely made more special having them around.

2. The Foods

Of course, this one is also included in the list. Especially when you have their discounted vouchers, the meal set / buffet meal becomes cheaper. I believe food and quality are both not compromised and their restaurant also serves local and international dishes too. Best of both worlds I guess.

3. The serenity of the place

Hands down to this. Once you enter their reception area, I felt like I'm transported into this peaceful haven making me relax and just being one with nature. The serenity of the place calms me down and helps me to meditate and recharge. It's like a reset button.

4. The rooms

We were lucky to have good room facilities that cater to our needs and at the same it was located rightt in front of their outdoor pool making it a perfect location to hang out and have some tea. I have to mention the " Hanging Bed" style which actually elevated its style and comfort.

5. The whole place itself

I like the fact that they have two kinds of swimming pool and a private access to their beach as well. All these are well appreciated by guests like me since it will give more opportunities to explore the place and have different experiences as well. Something extra added always is a good idea.

VLOG : My Mother's Hometown in Bohol and Eating Fresh Sea Urchins

Hello guys. Let's welcome a new month with a travel adventure. This time, I'd love to share here my family trip that happened weeks ago when we visited my mother's place. At first, we all thought it was just a normal vacation to break our current routine in the city then it was way more than that. Boy, we were all damn wrong. Unexpectedly, they prepared good things like fresh foods  there so we could all have some good time and make new memories as well. If I were to summarize that trip, then I'd definitely say it's one for the books. Something unexpected but definitely hits the right spot. A second home indeed for all of us.

Yey, finally I get to try and experience this famous local restaurant again. How? I joined their recent contest on Facebook and luckily I did win. The heavens heard my wishes that I really wanted to dine there again. Happy dance for me. Now, let's me share my dining experience in 3, 2 and 1. 

What's it about?

PRICE: It's quite affordable. Probably it will cost P750 + for 2 people.

TASTE AND FLAVOR: Just magnificent. I like that simple touch of garnish and presentation they do in every single dish. 

QUALITY OF THE FOODS: I'd say it's awesome. Though the price is quite out there, the quality is really worth it. Fresh ingredients and just the right balance of everything I believe.

Overall Thoughts
Well, I am totally satisfied with my dining experience there. Opps, my happy tummy also agrees with me absolutely. As expected, the place doesn't disappoint as we loved every single bite of our foods.  A good place to enjoy, relax and eat good comfort foods that will take you to a next level of happiness. 

Will I come back?
Oh yes absolutely. I can't wait to try their other dishes there. 

That's it for me. Thanks for joining me in my food hunting today. Hope you find this helpful. Once again, let's continue to hunt for good foods. See you next time in my food adventure.

VLOG : Let's go to the Miraculous Shrine Shrine of Simala in Sibonga, Cebu

Hi guys. It's been quite a while since I last visited this beautiful and sacred place so when my sister invited me to go there, I definitely didn't think otherwise anymore. Family and visiting this place are just a good combination in my opinion. 

What's it about?

Simala shrine / Simala church is located in Marian hills of upper Lindogon, Simala, Sibonga, Cebu. It's a caste-like church structure that is well known for its miraculous events here and there most especially the shedding of tears of Mama Mary. With that, Catholics and believers alike always flock to this place to whisper some prayers and give thanks.

Here are my snapshots

Also, please enjoy my vlog about this wonderful experience.

That's it for me. Thanks for visiting my page. Let's enjoy life and always have a grateful heart. Take care.
