Michi Photostory

So I suggested the Palm Beach Resort, and fortunately, they have available rooms for us. My sister-in-law was the one who booked the resort and full payment agad at the time of booking. 

We booked 3 Casa Blanca Rooms with pool and sea view, the rate of the Premier Room is PHP10,500, and the De Luxe Room is PHP10,000. These rooms are good for 4 people. For 11 persons, the total expense for rooms is PHP31,000.

Welcome drinks 

Room accommodation

Unlimited purified drinking water and Batangas-brewed coffee. 

Use of resort facilities: beach, infinity pool and jacuzzi. 

Complimentary wireless internet in designated areas 

Full Board Meals is PHP2,200 per person. This includes buffet lunch, PM snack, dinner, and breakfast with bottomless juice during meals. 

Lunch: 12:00 - 2:00PM 

PM Snack: 3:30 - 4:30PM 

Dinner: 7:00 - 9:00PM 

Breakfast: 7:00 - 9:00PM 

For the driver, we paid an additional PHP2,200 for the driver’s quarter and packed meals. 

Check-in time is 2PM, but we still left early to avoid the traffic. My immediate family arrived past 10AM, and my family arrived past 11AM. Upon arrival, may nag-assist na agad sa amin sa parking so nahatid na agad kami sa reception. 

At the reception, the staff asked for the Tourism Fee Receipt (PHP50 per person) and informed us about the meal schedules, and she just said na nasa Cabana na yung mga kasama namin. We stayed at the Cabana while waiting for lunch and rooms. My sister-in-law asked if binigyan ba kami ng welcome drinks, waah! Nakalimutan kami bigyan sa we went back to the reception to get our drinks, buti na lang malapit lang ang reception. 

Usually, the first meal is PM Snack, but we requested na lunch yung una just like our first visit. Lunchtime is 12NN, so we went to the dining pavilion before 12NN, but we were surprised kasi late na pala kami, actually paubos na yung ibang food nung dumating kami, so wala kami maayos na picture ng buffet spread, so I will just share the menu. 

Lunch: Molo Soup, Steamed Pandan Rice, Asian Vegetables, Bam-I, Sweet and Sour Fish, Chicken Inasal, Pork Adobo, Cassava cake, Seasonal Fruits, Iced Tea, and Brewed Coffee or Tea. 

PM Snack: Palmbeach Lomi, Soanish Bread, Turon with Caramel Sauce, Lychee Juice, and Brewed Coffee or Tea. 

Dinner: Minced Pork Soup, Fresh Garden Salad, Steamed Pandan Rice, Alfredo Pasta, Amatriciana Pasta, Fish Teriyaki, Chicken Pastel, Lechon Kawali, Buko Salad, Chocolate Revel Bar, Seasonal Fruits, Cucumber Juice, and Brewed Coffee or Tea. 

Breakfast: Champorado with Dilis, Homemade Spreads, Freshly Baked Breads, Steamed Pandan Rice, Scrambled Eggs, Boiled Eggs, Daing na Bangus, Pork Longganisa, Corned Beef, Seasonal Fruits, Pineapple Juice, and Brewed Coffee or Tea. 

I am not sure kung hindi pa sila nainformed na lunch ang start ng meal namin kasi wala kaming pwesto pa so naghanap ulit kami ng pwesto, Nag-improve na nung PM Snack kasi may reserved table na for our group. Also, mas marami na yung food choices compared sa first visit namin. 

Check-in is 2PM, and they gave us the keys 15 minutes before 2PM. 

Compared to Casa Isabel, our rooms are much better. It is spacious; there is a sofa bed, a separate shower, sink, and toilet. 

The staff will inform you kung ano yung laman ng room and ask you to sign the paper so that if ever may nawala, you need to pay for it. They always check the room upon check-out. 

Shampoo, Body Wash, Hand Soap, Dental kit are provided. When it comes to towels, hand towel and face towel, nagtataka lang ako bakit hindi good for four 4 persons lahat. We only have 4 towels, 2 hand towels, and 2 face towels. 

The only difference ng Premier Room and Deluxe Room is walang sofa bed. Compared to our first visit, okay ang rooms namin; may hot and cold shower, and malamig ang aircon. There is complimentary bottled water. 

No more complimentary use of aqua shoes, but you can buy, PHP500 for a pair of aqua shoes. Overall, we enjoyed our weekend getaway; we ate, swam, and slept. 

Upon check out, we were surprised because the resort gave us a Mother’s Day Gift. Early check out kami para maaga din makauwi.
