SIARGAO ISLAND VILLAS - MY TOP CHOICE TO EXPERIENCE TRANQUILITY AND ACTION IN SIARGAO

Image
This is our first time in Siargao, so I want to have a wonderful experience in this place. My husband and I are not surfers, but since Siargao is one of the booming tourist destinations in the country, we need to try and visit it. Accompanying a great experience when you go to a place is the hotel where you will stay. Therefore, I made sure that the hotel we choose will provide us with a good experience and one that I can recommend to everyone. On our second day in Siargao, we dedicated our time to scouting for a hotel for the rest of our stay. We did not book online because I prefer to visit and see the place before we book it to ensure that it meets our standards and requirements for a hotel, so that we will not get disappointed upon our arrival. In our search, I had three options, and among those three, I chose Siargao Island Villas. This is due to the following reasons: THE HOTEL The hotel is truly beautiful and very classy; as soon as you enter the lobby, you are immediately greet...

HARBORSIDE - ANOTHER "GO TO" SPOT IN SURIGAO CITY

Image
  Photo from Harborside FB Page Another "Go To" Spot in Surigao City It was already lunchtime when we arrived in Surigao City, so we were hungry and tired at that time. We settled in our hotel room first and then went out to find a place to eat. We asked the hotel staff where it would be ideal to dine, and they recommended walking along the boulevard because there were many dining options in that stretch, allowing us to choose well. Due to the extreme heat in Surigao at that time, we looked for a restaurant with air conditioning so we could eat comfortably. While walking, we came across Harborside; we noticed that there was air conditioning in the restaurant and their menu was posted outside, so we checked if there was anything we liked on their menu before deciding to go inside. So far, their food looked delicious, so we entered and placed our order. We ordered Kalderetang Kambing because it is my husband's favorite, baked scallops, buttered chicken, and tinolang native ...

TAKBO BEACH RESORT IN SIARGAO - TRANQUIL YET BUDGET FRIENDLY

Image
While we were touring Siargao, we passed by this beach resort along Tourism Road in General Luna. We decided to enter because my husband was curious about what the resort had to offer. The entrance to Takbo Beach Resort was somewhat hidden, to be honest. Once inside, we were greeted by the caretaker and as we stepped further in, we were met with a strong breeze coming from the beach. We were delighted because there are places in Siargao that, aside from being hot, it lacks any breeze at all. I asked the caretaker if I could go to the beachfront to see the whole area, and she agreed. At the front, there were two cottages that could serve as resting and hangout spots. It was incredibly relaxing here, very quiet and breezy. Highly recommended for those looking to unwind and relax on a limited budget. I asked the caretaker how many villas or rooms they have, and she said they currently have 4 villas and have plans to expand when they have the budget. The picture of the villa in this post i...

KALUGURAN'S ALL DAY SILOG FUSION IN MEXICO PAMPANGA

Image
Me and my sister went to my property earlier in Mexico, Pampanga. Before heading home, I invited her to have lunch and we searched for the best places to eat in Mexico, Pampanga on Google. That's just how I am – I always want to try new dining spots, especially the best ones in the area. We came across Kaluguran's with a 4.8-star rating. Since it was the closest to us at the time, we decided to go there. Kaluguran's isn't located on the main highway or main road, but if you're in the area and have a vehicle, it's worth visiting. When we arrived, we were greeted by a very cozy ambiance with a native vibe, making it feel like home. Currently, there's no air conditioning, but the staff we spoke to mentioned that they will have one soon. Despite that, they do have air coolers and fans, and the place is well-ventilated, so It didn't feel too hot, to think that I am very sensitive to a hot weather. When the waitress approached us, I asked her about their bests...

KURVADA - ONE OF THE GO-TO EATERIES IN SIARGAO

Image
Kurvada is also one of the go-to eateries in Siargao. It is visited not only by locals but also by foreigners. In our few days of going around Siargao, we didn't find any carinderia in the area as we are looking for one 'coz it's also boring to only eat at restaurants and hotels everytime right? And our service/tour guide was not wrong in recommending this place. THE PLACE Kurvada is not a flashy restaurant, in fact, it's just like a big carinderia with a native vibe, which is full of dishes that you can choose from. The place is not air-conditioned but it does have fans, it's up to you to choose a good seat for yourself. The patrons here are mixed, there are locals and foreigners eating so expect a lot of people when you come here during lunch and dinner. THE FOOD With the number of dishes to choose from, I prefer not to eat rice so that I can try more dishes and not get full right away. That day I ordered only vegetables because we had been eating meat for several...

POINT 303 RESORT IN SIARGAO - IDEAL PLACE TO STAY FOR CLOUD 9 SURFERS

Image
  We checked in at Point 303 on our first night in Siargao. My husband booked a one-night stay here just to ensure we had a place to stay upon arrival. Because it is our first time in Siargao, we do not want to book a hotel without seeing it in person, so we decided to stay here first then scout for another hotel the next day. We booked their Premium Deluxe Room with Balcony, priced at 3300.00 per night for 2 people, breakfast not included, though they honor PWD or Senior Citizen's discount BUT YOU MUST present it to them before completing your payment, otherwise they will no longer honor or refund the supposed discount. The room we got features a Queen Size Bed, spacious bathroom, and balcony, however, the view from our room's balcony wasn't that great. At that time, there was no internet in the room, so we relied on mobile data. The hotel also didn't have a generator, so during the island-wide power outage from 10pm to 5am, my husband said it was uncomfortably hot. Fo...

THE BEST BURGER JOINT IN BRGY.IBAYO MARILAO BULACAN

Image
  Are you looking for a solid burger joint that will truly satisfy your burger cravings? Try Basta Burger, located in Brgy. Ibayo, Marilao, Bulacan.   I tried their burger for the first time when my husband bought it for our snack. Their burger is amazing – not only is it big and affordable, but it's also incredibly flavorful because they use and grill 100% pure beef in their secret recipe. When you order this, you'll definitely be fully and completely satisfied. Sometimes, when we have it for a snack, we skip dinner because you can still feel the burger you ate until evening. Basta Burger was established back in 2017, so by now, they've truly mastered the exact taste of a delicious burger that suits the Filipino palate. But hey, it's not only popular among Filipinos – even the foreigners I've recommended it to have loved it. My sister once brought her Malaysian guest here, and you know what? He really liked it to the point that they went back to Basta Burger 3-4 ti...
