Boracay2012: Our Room 1

Glad I was able to take a photo of the beds not yet messed-up-to-the-max. I had to shout to my girls, whose first instinct upon entering a hotel room would usually to muddle a perfectly done beds, to please off the beds first so I could take even just a single quiet photo. Done. haha. So this was the room we stayed at Fairways & Bluewater, Newcoast, Boracay, almost two weeks ago

The room is very masculine. Just like a few good men I know, it's straightforward, practical and well equipped. I miss you so much husband *insert luggage full of heart here*. Yet effeminately comfortable. It got all we needed. 

• Air conditioning
• Bathrobes
• Coffee/Tea Maker 
• Complimentary bottle of water
• Daily newspaper (available at the restaurant)
• Desk
• Hair Dryer
• In Room Safe
• Wireless Internet Access (subject to charges)
• Ironing Board (upon request)
• Mini-bar (subject to charges)
• Non-smoking rooms
• Refrigerator
• Satellite/Cable Television
• Shower

*above (list of amenities) I copied-pasted from their website cos i hate typing bullet items. But here I could assure you I got them all in our room.
There was one thing lacking thu'. According to our needs, and not included in the hotel's list. Good ass phone. Yes no phone in the room and we were housed on the 3rd level! Not that I needed phone to do outside call, we have cell phones ofcouse st..id cupid!! But the reception/concierge desk was down at the ground floor. No elevator in the building. So if we did need anything, we had to get down ourselves. I wasn't able to ask about why no phone. The possible reason would be between the following :  a). the particular building we stayed-in was so newly built, it hadn't completed yet its facilities fully. b). it's a damn resort concept, haha!


The masculine vibe sways up to the bathroom. I particularly admire the choice of  floor tiles here which perfectly suited a beach hotel/resort room. One of my girls got the whole bathroom floor flooded with water (wtf# she normally uses bathroom like that, haha) but in a very short while, the floor dried up real fast. By itself. Without any floor mopping done.


From there on, I noticed that the entire room had the same dried-up fast floor. So clever and practical. You know how always beach resort's guests enter the room with wet and sandy (especially there in Boracay ) feet, that floor really works.


This was our window view. No ocean view, just greens and open sky, but...


..at night or on an early dawn when the blinds were drawn..


.. the view turned into a silhouette painting..nice or not? 



We were actually housed in one of the infinite nos. of  villas inside Fairways & Bluewater. 






This is how it looks outside. Quite a modern building. Lots of this around the resort. This is no. 26, if I remember it right.????


Across our villa is  another type of villa. I saw other types of villa also but no pics.. Fairways & Bluewater Newcoast is madly huge!!! In exaggeration, almost as big as the whole station 1 white beach or is it a lot bigger??? Seems like. 

Later I'll try to make a post on around the whole resort. 
Got tons of photos here.
Gotta share.
See ya:)

Mount Sea Grand Resort



Mount Sea Grand Resort is a perfect weekend getaway if you are currently enslave by the following conditions : 1. kids are priority 2. proximity is the only way 3. coming from a stressful week.




With those all of the above 3 conditions on our shoulders, we ran to Mount Sea Resort in Tanza, Cavite.




The room is neat and really smelled sooo good! We love the beddings because they were so fresh to both senses-sight and smell. The rest of the facilities in the room were of an upscale hotel.








The bathroom was nice and neat too.


















We went down to the resto for late (or was it midnight already?) dinner in our jammies. We were so hungry we didn't bother to dress-up since we guessed the place would be empty at that time.








And we were so right..we were the only people in this zen-inspired restaurant. The menu was a fusion of local and international dishes. There was also a bar.
We ended-up taking our left overs in the room since we usually don't bother about time when we are in vacation. Snacking is 24/7 when we are in a hotel.
The lobby was adorned with art works and the walk way to our room was beautifully lighted.




The next morning the kids woke us so early because they were so excited to swim. We let them had a taste of the pool last night for a night swim but only for a short hour. It was so cold because of the wind blowing from the sea. The resort is actually located in a sea front.




Complimentary breakfast was already serving so we went to the buffet and enjoyed it at the cabana in the beach.








While at it, we saw the obstacle facilities in the beach and had fun playing with the kids. Great work-out in the morning.




We went around the resort. The kids loved the mountain-zafari theme of the place.












There were giant crocs, monkeys and turtles (not real, ofcourse!), scattered around the resort.

Then we fancied to go up to the huge mountain and took the challenge to reach the top.



On the first level, there was a covered pool, in case you're anti-sun.













On each level, a slide mouth would invite you for a ride to take you down to the grand pool hundred (or was it a thousand?) feet below.




And when we reached the top_ the view was fantastico!




A giant eagle sits on top most  and you could enjoy his eye view of the whole resort and beyond.


















We went down back to the grand pool to enjoy the water.









Ready to face the world again!!
