Looking back at BoHoL

We stayed at Bohol Beach Club during our 3 day stay in Bohol. I've won this 'prize' on the program we have in the office for ..hmmm.. never mind haha.. Anyway, this was supposed to be a Trip to Hongkong with two of my close friends (Ate Marie - my Ate Ninang) and Ate Hermie. Sad to say I was not able to join them on our Trip to Hongkong because of problems with my birth certificate and its too late for me to get a passport! To cut this story short, I was just given a domestic trip. They had me choose between Boracay, Palawan, Davao, Cebu and Bohol. I picked this one among the rest and the trip is good for two persons with allowance! One of my best travel experience ever (because all is paid LOL!)!

We get to stay at Bohol Beach Club, with complimentary breakfast inlcuded, photogenic scenery, white sand same with Boracay but the sands are not very refined. Water is more clear and clean in Bora! There's alot of activities and places to visit and 3 days is not enough to explore the island and the places with it. My favorite pic!

Here's our itinerary.
Day 1 - Whole day stay at Club
We arrived at around 9 AM at the hotel. We were still waiting for the room to be cleaned up but supposed stay is still at 2PM. They would let you use the room ahead of time if it's vacated early. Here's the view from their lounge:



We rested for awhile since we were up as early as 3:00AM for the flight! I think they booked us the earliest flight for domestic which was 5:30 AM so you need to be at the airport at least 45 minutes earlier. Since our itinerary starts the following day, we take advantage of the beach and their swimming pool.

The resort has 3 swimming pools that are located within the resorts Amihan and Habagat Wing.  
Their airconditioned standard room inlcudes two twin beds, cable TV, bathroom.
Sorry its a bit messy in here. You can simply leave your things unattended and they will clean it up later.
This is where we stayed. See the two story house behind me. Yes it is!

The shore is a picture of serenity. The front beach is well maintanied by the staff of the resort.
There's a lot of starfishes in the shore ^_^ I tried to store 3 of these lil creatures for pasalubong but they were eventually crushed as they were so soft :(.. They smelled very salty LOL!
The weather is hot!Perfect for swimming. Just notice that the place is not jampacked with vacationers like us. Bohol Beach Club is huge actually.

Second Day

We wake up early morning for our Bohol Trip Itinerary. My friend Chona recommended his uncle to me to be our driver and tour guide.
Our sumptous buffet breakfast. Mostly Filipino dishes.
We hired our friend's uncle to lead the day tour on Bohol. We paid him 2,500 pesos for the whole day trip.
Our First Stop.
The historic Sandugo (Blood Compact) Commemorative Shrine
The Centuries-old Baclayon Church & Museum
Tarsier Watch (the smallest primate in the world)
Hanging bridge. I'm actually nervous on this pic, I fear its height!
neverending steps
The famous 'Chocolate Hills' and our priceless, effortless photo 'jump' shoot!
Loboc River Cruise with native buffet lunch on board
Sleeping Pyton. He's full he just ate a live chicken haha!

Day Three
We explored Bohol Beach Club resort on our last stay. The resort is huge with function rooms, swimming pools and facilities.
Their mini forest.
Our 30 minute complimentary glass boat ride.

thanks for the camera's timer!

Lopez Farm, Naic Cavite

My husband invited me to their Team Building in the office at Lopez Farm, Naic Cavite. We passed by the newly constructed 'Cavitex' (Cavite Express) on the way to Naic.    Here is the rates:


The rest house is good for 30 persons and more. 'Lopez Farm' takes you to a different home, where you can smell fresh green grasses, breath clean air, away from noise and pollution of the city. Somewhat a two hectare land that has two accomodations, swimming pool, half basketball court, tennis and volleyball court, playground surrounded by shady trees and grasses.

The spacious living area on the second floor. There's also two bedrooms, rest rooms and small terrace on the front house. The latter part was the dining and kitchen area.

                                     We enjoyed our turns taking pictures with the horse statue :)

                                         There is a mini playground with swings attached to trees.

The basement part of the house has the billiard area, table tennis and videoke. There's also two conjoined rooms and a rest room. Unlimited Videoke Use is Php 500.

Overall experience was fun! The rest house is perfect for team buildings, family outing, retreats or simply barkada getaway with nature not far from Manila. Just beware of the crawling insects outside since there's many trees but aside from that, its close to perfect! Especially if well spent with loved ones and well meaning friends. Stay inlove with life!
