We decided to spend the remaining long weekend at La Luz Beach Resort in San Juan, Batangas. I called their Manila office to reserve a room but due to some circumstances, we weren't able to make it to the bank. We were a couple of minutes late. :(
Their reservation officer, Ms. Donna was very kind enough to confirm our reservations for a Premier room despite the fact we weren't able to make the 60% required deposit. She only asked us to make sure that we will come to the resort on that day.
By the time we got to the resort on Sunday, we were instantly welcomed by very pleasant staff who offered us some welcome drinks (which were very refreshing!). The premier room has a maximum capacity of 6 persons but since Ate Elma (Hael's yaya) came along, we're 7 pax all in all. They were very lenient to allow her with no additional cost. I am now sold to this place! :D
While waiting for the check-in time at 1pm, we had our lunch first. The food was definitely more than I expected; buffet style with 5 viands to choose from (vegetable, chicken, pork, fish), soup and dessert.
Lunch (Day 1) Menu:
Chicken and Corn Soup
Inihaw na Tilapia
Roasted Chicken
Pork (Sorry, I forgot the name)
Papaya and Puso ng Saging Ginataan
Fresh Fruit Platter
Orange or Pineapple Juice
After a filling meal, we were game for some photo ops!
And climbed the gigantic rock to have a full view of the resort! :D
After rounding the resort, we finally got into our room.
The room's equipped with air conditioning unit, 3 beds (one of which is a pull-over), 3-way bathroom, hot and cold shower but no telephone and television set. Just what a vacation must be, in my opinion. ;) The lack of television sets didn't disappoint the kids one bit since the resort has a Wifi connection and they brought along their gadgets with them.
I love the roomy shower room and loo!
We spent most of the time in one of the cabanas (for free) which is really one of the best facilities of the resort.
After splathering ourselves with sunscreen we finally took a dip!!!! The beach is pretty rocky but nonetheless, the water's crystal clear and warm.
We went snorkeling which costs Php100 for 3 hours. The kids had an amazing time!
One of the staff approached us and reminded us that snacks buffet will be open at 3pm. We then proceeded to the dining hall. We were all famished with all those swimming!
Merienda Menu:
Banana Turon
Pancit Bihon
Tuna Sandwich
Mango Juice
We capped off the night with an hour body massage which costs Php250. The kids decided to have it in the room while I had it in the cabana with the curtains drawn in. ;)
A little while after that, we were once again approached by one of the staff informing us that the dinner buffet is already open. Time does fly fast when you're having the grand time of your life, most especially if your tummy's still full with all that snacks. :D
Dinner Menu:
Mushroom Soup
Tuna Flakes Pasta
Fish Fillet
Lumpia Shanghai
Chicken Pastel
Apple and Potato Salad
Fruit Salad
Since there was no TV, the kids took out the gadgets by night time and were lost in their own worlds. They can go through a day without the TV but not without the internet. Hehehehe.
We weren't able to see the bonfire by the beach since we called it a night at 9pm...
I committed myself waking up at 5am for this....
Breakfast Buffet was served at exactly 7am.
Breakfast Menu (Day 2):
Eggs (Omelet, Scrambled or Sunny Side Up)
Pan de Sal
Loaf Bread
A variety of jams
Hotdog
Daing na Bangus
Garlic Rice
Coffee
We spent the remaining hours snorkeling and swimming. Since we opted to have our lunch in the resort (additional Php350/head), they allowed us to check out late.
Aside from the Php3750 rate for the premier room, the guests are obliged to pay Php1100/person for the meals (Lunch upon arrival, Afternoon Snack, Dinner and Breakfast the following day).
It's a pretty good deal when you think about it. It's buffet, which means you can have a couple of rounds if you want and you won't have to plan each meal while you're in vacation; which can be a pretty daunting task for moms like me. Everything's pretty taken care of and all of the guests are informed if the meal's ready. ;)
I just love how laid back this place is considering that it's a long weekend and the rooms were all occupied, it's not even crowded at all! You won't hear any blaring music like videoke or find rowdy groups in this place; this made me love La Luz even more. You can totally feel serenity and calmness when you stay there.
They have guards and staff who constantly do their rounds and would never hesitate to assist should you need it.
The Hubby even loved it and promised me we'll spend the Holy Week next year in this place. :D
