We had staycation in our home last holiday break, no grand vacation for us but at least I had time to finish my “things to do” list before the end of the year.
After Christmas, my husband told my son that they will swim in our Clubhouse but when he went to Admin office, walang pumasok na staff. So nag long vacation na rin sila. He was so disappointed because there was no notice that there will be no office on December 26. And because nagpromise na siya, we need to swim. #trustissue
Since it was a last minute decision, we were choosing from the resorts that we have tried in Batangas. Check it here. We chose Canyon Cove again because both pool and beach are nice. Nasugbu is also near, paglagpas lang ng Tagaytay.
He called the resort and asked if they accept day-tripper and the staff said yes. He called his mom to ask if they want to join and off we went to Canyon Cove the following day, December 27, 2015 at 5:30AM. At the gate, the guard told us na fully booked na daw sila but we told him na day trip lang kami.
After parking, the guard ushered us to the Day Tour Counter and he even helped me in carrying some of my stuff. Medyo malayong lakaran siya ha, dati may kiosk lang sa labas, now nasa loob na ng building. I did not bother to check the rates because we just went there last March 2015 so I was really surprised when the staff told me, Ma’m P4500 lang po itong cash. P5500 pala ang total. Toinks!

Most of the time, my son prefers the pool because may shark daw sa beach. Hehehe! But after we went to Acuatico Beach Resort and Hotel, love na niya beach.
So after several minutes in the pool, he wanted to go to the beach na. He enjoyed playing in the sand.
Then we ate in Island Cafe (Max’s) for our lunch, we ordered Chicken and Spaghetti for my son because he likes the chicken, Chopsuey, Kare-Kare, Pork Binagoongan and Halo-Halo for dessert.
Then we spent most of our time at the beach so it is better if you bring a blanket so even you do not have a cottage, you can stay under the trees.
If you prefer pool, there are tents there where you can stay beside the restaurant.
This was our last travel last 2015.
It's indeed great to spend quality time with the people you love in a place such as this. Their halo-halo looks enticing. :)
ReplyDeleteBagay na bagay sa mainit na panahon. #elniƱo :)
DeleteAww looks like your little man had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteSummer is here! Sana we can go to beach this year. Last year afraid pa si Matt sa dagat but I hope this year gusto na nya magswim sa dagat, hehe. May shark daw kasi e.
ReplyDeleteSame sila ni Ethan, may shark daw sa beach. :)
DeleteThe husband and I want to go to the beach this Thursday and I'm going to check if we can still get a room at Canyon Cove! Thanks for your photos :)
ReplyDeleteI've been in Canyon Cove once pa lang and sad to say I was not able to enjoy it because I am pregnant by that time. Before parang 500 lang daytrip double na pala ngayun
ReplyDeleteParang namamahalan na nga ko sa 1k na day trip. P800 lang 8 months ago. :(
DeleteAwww.... I miss going to the beach while reading your post. With the kids, I always want a pool to be included because sometimes they get tired of the beach and just want to dip in a cool swimming pool.
ReplyDeleteI never been to Canyon Cove, sarap mag staycation kasama ang family sa ganito ka gandang lugar. I hope this year we are able to go to the beach with family. Great photo Sis!

That is a good place to visit before the peak season arrives. I miss halo-halo.
ReplyDeletei am planning to spend my birthday there with my family! oh i can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks for blogging! This is such a great help. :) Can I ask if it's possible to go Day Tripping without prior notice? Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI think so but I think it is better to call just to make sure that you can have a day trip on your preferred date. :)
Delete1500 na ang weekend day tour :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. :) Namamahalan na nga ko sa P1k na day tour, mukhang sa iba na lang kami kung P1500 na. hehehe!
DeleteAsk ko lang po if accessible po ba yung lugar for commuters? Lalo na kung pauwi po? Balak po kasi namin pumunta for day tour only. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMukha naman accessible kasi kita mo na resort sa daan. Sabihin mo lang sa konduktor kung san kayo punta then pwede niya kayo ibaba kung san pwede sumakay ng trike going to Canyon Cove. May napansin kasi ko na nagtrike dun. :)
DeleteHi, kamusta naman po yung price ng food sa Max's resto nila? same lang ba sa Max's resto or mas mahal?
ReplyDeleteHi! Parang mas mahal yata ng konti sa resort.
DeleteHi I am not sure if you mention of included lunch, drinks and afternoon lunch for the day tour? Thanks,
ReplyDeleteHi, they will only give coupon that you can use for your foods or drinks. During our trip, the amount is P300 per adult and P200 per kid.
