Siquijor Bliss: Our Amazing Hotel Experience 🌴
 
Rainbow Bay Beach and Dive Resort - A Review
Okay, so after that super welcoming arrival, we were ready to settle in. We checked into our hotel and decided to grab some lunch while we waited for our room to be ready at 2 pm. We went for a classic Filipino feast: pork, pancit bihon (thin rice noodles), chopsuey (stir-fried veggies), and rice, all washed down with a 1.5 liter Coke. It was delicious!
 
And guess what? They let us into our room 15 minutes early! Score! The hotel is pretty big, but they only have 10 rooms, so it feels really exclusive. Our room was amazing! It had a king-size bed and a single bed, perfect for us. The design was modern rustic, with stone floors and big open windows – so tasteful! I was blown away by how big the bathroom was. Seriously, it felt like a spa! However, the bathroom had a silhouette glass, which meant you couldn't really have any privacy inside.
 
But the best part? Our room had a mini gym, a backdoor that led to a little outdoor space with a table and chairs, and private access to the beach! Talk about a dream setup! The bedsheets were so clean and smelled amazing, the AC was super cold, and they even had a ceiling fan. There were a few insects, which is understandable since we were in a garden, but I didn't get a single mosquito bite!
 
They also had complimentary coffee and bottled water that they refilled every day, and they cleaned the room whenever we asked. They even changed the towels every time we requested it. The staff were so attentive, helpful, and polite. The hotel felt super secure too, with security guards patrolling 24/7.
 
Now, for the not-so-great stuff: The water pressure was a bit low, which made taking a shower a bit of a challenge if you were in a hurry. The Wi-Fi was also pretty slow and kept cutting out, which was a bit of a pain for working from home. There were also occasional power outages, but they had generators, so it wasn't a huge deal. And if it was raining hard, there wasn't really a way to get around without getting wet. The bathroom also had a silhouette glass, which meant you couldn't really have any privacy inside.
 
But even with those minor downsides, this hotel stay was one of the best I've had during my travels. The pros definitely outweigh the cons!

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
