Family Swimming @ IMP Sea Breeze Resort

Hi there friends! It's been awhile since my last travel trip post right?  And now I am excited to tell you guys about this new blessing in my life! I am actually pregnant!  At last our prayers have been answered and now I am on my 5th month of being pregnant :)

So, of course, we all know that i'ts summer and so last time we had our first summer outing for this year at a resort here in Taguig - it's in IMP SEA BREEZE RESORT.  It's not actually our first time in this resort but it's upgraded now and the entrance fee has increased. So lets begin with the review!

IMP sea breeze resort is located at hagonoy taguig.  Since we are from Taguig, we just rode using uber and we went there in about 15 minutes travel time.  Thank God uber driver was fast and we rode via wigo.

Its me, my mom, my sis and her bf, my hubby, cousin, and my niece.  We were on a budget and I am pregnant so we decided to go on outing just nearby.  

Fun fun fun :)

So as what Ive said, the resort has upgraded, before the entrace fee was only P150 but now they have increased to P300 per person!  But this is because they have added more pools and they have wave pool now! For some people, they say thats its expensive, but it was ok for me.  Although I must say, they still need to take care of the place, there shower rooms and bathrooms are kinda poor in hygiene! It was kind of dirty and shower heads are rustic :(

But i love their wave pool (but they only open it for atleast 10 -15 mins for about 5 times that day!)

We rented for their small cabanna which only cost P800. Not bad.

Overall i must say, this resort was ok.  I think that they really need to maintain the cleanliness of their resort.  And they need to fix and replace the shower heads and faucets because its rustic! But i also give kuddos for the safety of the swimmers because the resort has a lot of watch guard/life guard that constantly reminding the swimmers not to dive to avoid danger (but the announcer is annoying telling the rules and precautions every single minute! lol) oh and by the way, softdrinks and liquor are not allowed inside.  They are also strict with the swimwears.  They dont allow colored shirts.  Only white shirts or swim wear for both girls and boys.

Day swimming is from 7am to 5pm and night swimming is from 7pm to 6am only.  You can also rent videoke machine inside for P800.  Grillers are free so you can do barbeque too.  

We had fun that time, its not about the resort i think but its about the fact that me and my family bonded well. So see you all on my next travel or trip! Byers! :)

Zambales Trip - Anawangin Cove & Capones Island

Last Saturday we decided to have a vacation and this time we tried going to the famous Anawangin Cove located at Zambales.  We woke up early morning around 3 AM to commute via Victory liner in Pasay.  Bus fare (aircon) is only P275 pesos going to Iba Zambales, we dropped off to San Antonio Market and rented a tricycle going to Pundaquit beach.  

At Pundaquit beach, we rented for a boat to take us there.  We paid for P1,500 for anawangin cove and capones island hopping.  Rental fee is already for 2 way trip, for the entire group!

More photos while on the boat :)

This is Capones Island.  I must say, the rock formations and the entire beach is really amazing! We decided to hang out for a while to take some photos.  

We experienced Capones for aboutan hour just to take photos, we headed to Anawangin Cove after because that's we we're about to Camp.

Some sceneries while on our way to Anawangin... This was really amazing!

Finally we made it here at Anawangin Cove camp site.  There's a lot of people when we arrived, good thing we had a spot to build our tent.

Building our tent...

The use of this table is free.  For overnight campers, the fee is only P100 per head.

Oh how i loved the Sunset :)

There's no electricity and Network signal at Anawangin so it's really best to have bonfire or have led lights or flashlight with you.  You can buy chopped woods there but it's really expensive around 200 pesos.  But for us, we decided to roam around and just gather some wood and then fire it up! Lol

We spent the night in the camp site and slept in our tents.  It's my first time to camp so i was really excited. 

The next morning we decided to go on hiking on this beautiful mountain.  There's already trail so climbing up there was not that hard.  It only took us about 45 minutes to reach the top.  And I would say that the view was really amazing! You can see the 360 degree of the entire Cove up there.

After that tiring and body sweating hiking on the mountains, we got excited to go on Swimming! The beach water is clear and kind of greenish, it's really inviting! 

After that super fun swimming, we prepared already to gome home, we asked the boatman to pick up us at around 2 PM.

More pictures before going home... We really enjoyed staying here at Anawangin!

We got hungry so we decided to looked for a restaurant to eat our lunch.  Some guys told us to go on this restaurant called "Big foot" 

Overall,our vacation was a success! Anawangin Cove is really a fun and nice place! You can find serenity in that place... Just enjoying the beach and its mountains and just camping there was really a great experience! I love the idea that it has no electricity and signal, and so you can really have a good time with your friends or family.  We are looking forward for our next vacation, soon! :)

Ciao! :)

Visiting San Jose, Nueva Ecija

We went to San Jose, Nueva Ecija because my sister's hubby wanted to visit his brother there.  Nueva Ecija is up north and we travelled about 5 hours to get there.  It was really a long drive, and it was kinda tiring to travel.  I thought Nueva Ecija is like those typical provincial like, but I was surprised that it's like living in the city! Restaurant's and establishments are everywhere.  

With mom and nephew Max

We went to a certain "Diamond Park" and the place was really big.  It feels like a forest, with lots of trees, playground and some food stalls inside the premise.  There were also cottages with videokes which can be rented for only P50! No entrance free but you should pay for parking. 

Having fun at the store, eating halo halo LOL
