Vacation Mode @ Star Cove

Heee yah! Yes it's our first time to purchase online for a Getaway.  We've found a good place and good deal at metrodeal.com.  The place is called "Star cove hotel and resort" in balayan, Batangas! We have booked 2 days and 1 night with free breakfast at a very affordable price of P899! 

Well, for me although it was not really a good timing  to have a vacation cause its not summer anymore, but me and my hubby  just wanted a day to relax and unwind... We were not able to celebrate our anniversary last April, and so we grabbed the chance now. :) 

Ok, and so last Sunday afternoon we went to Balayaan Batangas and tried to search for the resort. It was raining hard then and not so good to travel! But anyways, we are still  eagered to continue cause we really needed a break for us to enjoy and relax! 

We just took a bus going to Nasugbu and then rode a jeepney to Balayan and then rode another tricycle headed to Barrio Baclaran and there we were finally found the place! 

When we entered the place, we were amazed by the displays and furniture, it felt like we entered an ancestral house! 
This is the reception area / guess area of the resort... I would say very nice furniture pieces! We were welcomed by a old lady and headed us to our room.  Our room was nice and clean and cool. 

I like our  bed, there was a mini dining area too. I liked the bathroom, there was a bath tub and hot and cold shower! And the toilet bowl has a sprinkler! Not bad for a P899 deal! but i got sad cause there was no tv, and i wasnt able to watch my fave  shows! Hahaha but anyways thats ok thank God i have my iphone and my own pocket wifi and so we were still able to entertain ourselves through intenet! I just wondered why there was no tv?! :)

And then we got hungry and ate our late lunch! Then we roamed around the place and got fascinated by the furnitures again.  The entire resort is quiet big.  There were 2 pools and a gaming area. I loved the gaming area, we played billiards and Dart and soccer boards! I was amazed cause they got Bowling area too! But ofcourse theres a fee for the bowling. :) 

Then we went out for swimming! I loved the pool and the warm water! Theres a beach infront but theres a fence which serves as the wall /barrier, but according to them, guests can still swim on the beach.  But we were contented by the pool and so we just enjoyed our 2 days stay there at Star Cove! :). Overall, i would say that this place is amazing and very nice! To think that its very cheap :) still a perfect place to enjoy and relax. 



Then Monday afternoon, before going home, we stopped over Tagaytay city to eat for Bulalo! I wanted to go to Picnic Grove but it was raining hard and so we just decided to find a restaurant that offers Bulalo!
We also had Leche flan for dessert, so yummy! :) After the entire vacation, we are thrilled for our next, hope we could find a great deal again! Looking forward for it! ;)
