Pool Swimming at De Oro Saga Tech Resort

A week ago, my family and I went swimming in a pool at De Oro Saga Tech Resort. It was our first time to visit this swimming pool. We wanted to try something new because every time we have family outing, we always choose to go to our usual favorite place which is the beach. When we arrived at the resort, the place was so crowded since it was a holiday that’s why many people came in to have some fun and enjoy swimming at the pool.

This resort is located in Bulua,Cagayan de Oro City and it is just a a walk away from Land Transportation Office (LTO). Aside from the swimming pool, the resort owners are also constructing the hotel.

No wonder why many local tourists would love to go swimming in this resort because of its affordable entrance fee rates. :)

Spectacular New Hotel Pools

I recently read an article from Yahoo about the top 10 spectacular new hotel pools around the world and I was so amazed on its jaw dropping scenery of the visually stunning pools like the Paresa Resort in Phuket Thailand, the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore which is an outdoor infinity swimming pool where you can see the city skyline, the Westin Playa Bonita in Panama and many others.

While I was looking at the stunningly breathtaking and beautiful infinity pools, I suddenly remembered Bellaroca Island Resort and Spa in Marinduque here in the Philippines. This is an integrated resort, spa and lifestyle island destination.

With a beautiful view like this, who doesn’t love to stay here and enjoy a holiday with your family and loved ones? I think this resort should also be included in the list of the spectacular hotel pools. What do you think?

Spend Your Romantic Holiday at Bellaroca Island Resort and Spa

I was checking for new updates of my friends today in Facebook when I saw one of my friend’s holiday photos where they celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversary. I was so amazed of their sweet and lovely photos together as well as the beautiful place where they stayed with. I thought they went abroad but I was surprised that this beautiful scenery was actually located in Marinduque, Philippines.

It is an island named as Bellarocca Island which is situated off the south west coast of Marinduque province. You will surely be enticed when you experience the beauty of this island when you visit the Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa. This is the place where my friend and her hubby stayed for several days.

This resort and spa offers a lot of activities and recreations such as Kayaking, Jet ski, Banana boat, Windsurfing, Hobie cat sailing and a whole lot more! I would love to try their wellness and spa as well as their romantic treat for couples.

See? The photos itself is absolutely breathtaking and relaxing! Hmmm… if only we have an extra budget, hubby and I would definitely spend our anniversary in this beautiful place. You can check out their website Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa for more details regarding their accommodation, facilities, services and also their rates and online reservation as well.

Tuesday Travels: Our Favorite Beach

This week’s theme for Tuesday Travels is all about our favorite beach destination so here’s my entry for this week. I am featuring our very own local beach in Opol, Misamis Oriental.

Everytime my mom spends her holiday here with us every year, she usually rent an apartment near the beach in Balan Compound, Opol. She loves swimming at the beach every morning. I only swim in the morning or late afternoon because I don’t want to get dark LOL!

Opol is a nearby municipality of Misamis Oriental and from city proper of Cagayan de Oro, it is 30-45 minutes away.

Swimming at Apple Tree Resort & Hotel

Every time my mom spends her holiday here with us, aside from swimming at the beach, she loves swimming at the pool too. And since the apartment where she usually stays is just a few walks away from Apple Tree Resort and Hotel, she walks in as a guest in this hotel where she can order some of their specialty menus while swimming at their cool swimming pool.

The Apple Tree Resort and Hotel is formerly known as the Lauremar Beach Hotel. It is located along the beach of Taboc, Opol, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. It is just 15 minutes away from the city.

The whole beach front of the hotel offers a tranquil atmosphere and inspiring view of Macalajar Bay and Camiguin Island.

It offers a swimming pool with a separate area for kids’ safety

It has also a Jacuzzi pool

It is indeed a perfect place to escape and enjoy yourself together with family and friends.
