Resorts around Manila (max 2hrs away)

[chocolatepink]

^ hi sis, when we stayed there we didn't have a choice but to eat in their restaurant.
There are NO nearby fastfoods/restaurants here...

This link I found might help: http://www.eatandrun.com.ph/travel/thunderbird-resorts

hello mga sis! walang thread ang Clark (aside from the hot air balloon show), so dito na lang ako magtatanong kasi pasok naman sa 2hrs travel time yun.

may naka-stay na ba sa Clearwater Resort and Country Club in Clark, Pampanga?? maganda ang pictures sa website, but as we all know, minsan misleading ang pictures sa website. so i need actual feedback from actual guests. thanks!!! i'll appreciate it much.

can you recommend nearest beach sa metro manila na malinis and okey facilities?..ayaw na namin asi magtravel ng malayo lalo na with small kids pa..ty

kaya siguro ito ng 2 hours from manila, pag walang traffic:

la virginia resort, mataas na kahoy batangas
- really nice, daming pwedeng gawin sa loob, kahit mag-ikot-ikot lang ang mag-eenjoy ka na. madami na ding pools, they have a pool overlooking taal (but not yung volcano). when we went there pwede pang magdala ng pagkain, walang corkage. they have so many accomodation types to choose from.

sol u viento, calamba laguna
- di pa ako nakakapunta but a friend did. maganda daw yung place, very relaxing kasi overlooking sa mountainous side ng calamba. malaki din yung area, best for unwinding. yung family room nila may jacuzzi. 2 lang ata room types, family (good for 4) and dormitory (good for 8-9) with kitchen pareho pero may corkage.

Hi, everyone. I am looking for a place near MM where we can celebrate our 10th wedding anniv with family. Baka may reco kayo? budget siguro mga 10-12k for an overnight stay.  Thanks in advance!

sa mga barkada na gusto mag overnight, try mount purro nature reserve in antipolo, super sulit ang barkada package nila kasama na food and accomodation, and ang babait nila mag asikaso ng guests nila. ma rererelax ka talaga kase parang sa forest ka talaga nakatira. you can try hiking papunta sa mga falls around the area, extra charge lang sa guide pero minimal amount lang. highly recommended! kakagaling lang namen last long weekend!

@sis charmed_gal do you have a copy of their  barkada package (mt purro nature reserve)? naghahanap kasi ako ng venue for our team outing. approximately 15-20 pax kami. gusto din namin overnight with activities on the side. thanks!

[charmed_gal]

^ eto website nila, ongoing promo sila ng barkada package this september kaya grinab namen agad nung nag long weekend

Mga sis, not sure if this is the right place, pero ask ko lang kung meron me alam ng rules sa azure resort sa bicutan. Like me resto ba sila sa mga towers nila o pwede bang magpadeliver? Me mga kids kasing kasama and just want to know options. Thanks in advance.

^hi sis, you may check the "staycation" forum for the other details ng azure... share lang our experience...we booked via air bnb for 2days 1night, guests are required to register and pay 20pesos yata yun prior entering their pool area, lalagyan ka nila ng tag para makalabas pasok ka...mahigpit sila dun sis, kung sino lang yung nilagay mo sa guest list mo upon booking, sila lang din ang allowed sa pool area nila for a fee of 20pesos and those who are not included on the list may enter the pool area upon payment of 500pesos(can not recall the exact amount pero nasa ganun talaga sya kamahal) entrance fee and that is for 1day pass lang sis, if you booked for 2days and 1 night, usually on the 1st day lang kayo allowed maka-access sa pool area unless nalang  kung walang next booking yung unit nyo kasi parang 1guest per unit per day lang sila..the next day sa iba na naka name yung pass ninyo...better check din with the unit owner para sure. kasi nung kami, parang nagulat rin yung unit owner na ganun ang policy ni azure when it comes to their pool area accommodation or baka that time lang sila nagkaron ng magkasunod na booking...suggest ko nalang sayo sis na pumunta nalang kayo ng maaga sis kasi pwede naman na kayo pumasok at mag swimming kahit di pa kayo naka check-in kasi nakapangalan na sa inyo yung access pass sa pool area nila para kung sakaling di na kayo pwede the next day, atleast medyo nasulit na ng mga kids ang pag swimming

as for the food, may parang restobar dun sa pool area kaya lang konti lang option at medyo mahal ng food and drinks, pwede siguro kayo padeliver or buy nalang kayo sa sm bicutan, magkatabi lang naman sila or baka pwede din magluto nalang kayo sa unit kung may cooking utensils naman...kami kasi nagbaon lang ng konti and luto ng hotdog for breakfast kasi allowed naman magluto sa unit na na avail namin  

pasensiya na po ang daldal ko  hope it helped po
