I ♥ Club Manila East - TayTay Rizal 08/16/2008

 

My college friends planned a quick fix to beat the summer heat and we wanted to go out of town without spending a lot. A friend recommends that we should try Club Manila East and she was right. 
Club Manila East is located in the Municipality of Taytay, Rizal. We rode a public transport via G-Liner Bus bound to Taytay Rizal, fare is just 40 pesos from Robinsons Galleria and the travel time took us approximately 40 minutes. 
The resort is open from 8am to 5pm during day swimming. Entrance fee is P500.00/pax; free for kids below 3 ft. For overnight accommodations, guests can stay at rooms/villas from 2pm to 11am for P3,300/2pax/free breakfast. Pay P700.00/extra pax. Maximum of 4 pax/room. 
One thing we enjoyed the most in these resort were their several pools and water facilities. They have Olympic Size pool, A Giant pool 19,000 sq ft and a Wave pool that which were very safe for kids and those who are not good in swimming. They have surfing instructor and kayakl/zipline. The problem here is that you are not allowed to bring food and drinks you bought outside because the resort have their own restaurant so you need to buy food inside or eat comfortably outside if you have your own vehicle park in the area. 
We are only a group of 3 people- me and two girl friends and we really enjoyed our stay here. We rented a small cottage with padlocks so we won’t be concern leaving our things behind. We extend our stay and leave the resort around 8pm and it wasn’t a good decision. One thing we didn’t notice was that the place is really far from the main road. We don’t have our own vehicle so we need to take a tricycle to get to the main road but the problem is that there is no tricycle during that time and we need to walk. We were so afraid because there were no light posts along the way. We asked a Brgy. Official if there are robbers in the area and they just told us that it’s up to our luck. Fortunately nothing bad happens and we were able to get to the main road in one piece.

 

I notice that there are a lot of guest complaining about the security of CME where they lost a lot of their personal belongings. I would suggest people to go here early in the morning and leave when there is still sunlight .This trip would be a great if there were no mishaps or inconvenience that had happened. I find Club Manila East a good resort for groups because you will feel more secure swimming and leaving your things unattended. It also a quick fix to summer heat to those who live close enough in Taytay Rizal. 

How to get there

Commuting:

G-Liner, RRCG, and Green Rose Buses have regular routes going to Taytay Rizal from Quiapo/Lawton, Manila. Just take any bus that bears the "Taytay" signboard. These buses pass along the following locations (where they can also be boarded from): the Quiapo-Recto area, San Juan, Ortigas Center in Pasig, Rosario Pasig, the entire Ortigas Ave Extn , and Cainta Rizal. Tell the bus conductor to drop you off at Club Manila East in Taytay. From Manila, you can also ride the LRT from Recto station to Santolan station in Pasig, then take an Fx to Taytay. From Santolan LRT station, you can also take any Binangonan/Angono bound jeepney that bear the "Binangonan/Angono-Highway" signboard. 
Driving:
Taytay, Rizal is bounded by Cainta on the north, Pasig City and Taguig City on the west, Antipolo City in the East and Angono on the South. The easiest and most familiar route when driving is from Ortigas Ave straight through Ortigas Ave. Extension. Drive straight through the entire Ortigas Ave. Extension until you reach the Cainta-Antipolo-Taytay boundary, turn left to Taytay, continue driving staright, once you pass by SM Taytay, you're almost there. Keep an eye to your right. Immediately, after Taytay "bagong palengke" is the Club Manila East main gate. Enter. a few meters away to your left, you'll see CME's parking lot. 

Once you return the item, the seller has 3 days to issue you a refund. Keep in mind it may take a few days more from the time the seller issues the refund to when it shows up in your account.

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his mind

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Image
Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou

I ♥ Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon 03/13/2011

  Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon Batis Aramin Resort, Hotel and Adventure Camp is just one of the few resorts near my hometown Tayabas, Quezon. We went there when we visited the well-known Catholic Pilgrimage site called “Kamay ni Hesus” which lies on the foot of Mt. Banahaw last 2011. You won't be lost to find the place because it is just on the other side of the popular retreat camp Kamay ni Hesus which is located in Malupak, Lucban Quezon. We don't have enough money to pay the 100 pesos entrance fee but because we wanted to explore the place we just made an alibi to the security personnel that we just wanted to do an ocular visit and see if we wanted to stay. The security personnel was very kind and he let the 5 of us enter the vicinity we just left our ID's for record updating.  There were a lot of guess that time. I saw a lot of private cars with LaSalle University stickers probably they rented the place for retreat. I never expected the resort to be so beautif
