Summer Get-Away

Summer is OFFICIALLY here. It is sooo freaking hot and what is the best way to beat this heat than to go on an outing. My family had an impromptu family outing last week. It has been 2 years since the last time we went out on a family swimming. (click here) So when hubby talked to me that morning and asked me if we want to go on another swimming, we all said YES immediately. He told me of this resort,VALENTINO RESORT AND SPA. I didn't know that there is such a place within our area. So I immediately called if there is any cottage(s) available for a family of 5. And sure enough they accommodated us, but then again I have to pay 1 for Amaya since the amount we will be paying upon entering is just good for 4. Check in time is at 2:00 pm so we were there on the dot. We were that excited. Hahaha! Enough of this and let the pictures talk its way to you my dear bloggers.  

This the reception area of
the resort

This is our cottage called
Contemporary

The entrance to the
house

As soon as you enter
this sofa set will
greet you

This is the dining table/area

the small kitchen minus the
refrigerator

the bedroom which will accomodate
3 to 4 persons, but they
could give you additional bed/s

I so love this lighting...

the flat screen... 

the cabinet where you could
place your clothes

there is a phone whenever
you need something, they
are just a call away

the veranda 

this is another lighting that I love

the bathroom with heater

the lavatory, which I like to have
in my dream house...

this is the view from the
cottage we rented... how relaxing isn't it?!

the girls tried walking through
this and my youngest didn't like it though.

this is the pool nearest to
our cottage.... 

the reception area to the spa

one of the many rooms for massage,
this room is for couples who
want to have a massage together

once you're inside the resort,
you're not suppose to remove this bracelet
or else you have to pay a fine

this is the breakfast of my daughter

this on the other hand is the
breakfast of my 2 other girls

this is me with my girls... 

        When we got there, the maintenance of the resort where doing some cleaning and painting of some of the gates and all. There was no cable connection when we got there, but on the other hand this is on my favor because we were able to really bond and have a good time. The heater in our cottage is not really functioning well and the person who knows to do the work was on a day off that time. But as the saying goes if there is a will there is definitely a way. Don't forget to bring OFF LOTION because as soon as it gets dark there are really mosquitoes already. We had the 2 pools, which is nearer to our cottage, to ourselves. This is why we had a great time swimming to our hearts content. All in all this is one family experience my daughters, hubby and I would never forget. I could say that what we paid is really worth it. So if you want to go and just relax even just for few days, try this resort.
