We've tried hotel venezia 3x na and okay naman lahat ng rooms na nakakapag stay na kami. hindi amoy luma ang room like seorabeol. centralized aircon pero okay naman ang lamig. yun nga lang walang pool. 

[cuteapril_1215]

actually sis divided kasi, sa kabilang side yung shower and sa kabila yung toilet. that's why sabi walang door kasi ang makikita mo agad is yung middle part na mirror and sink.

The service is okay. Mabait yung staff nila. iniwan namin ni hubby yung laptop, hindi naman nawala. Also, masarap din food sa chinese resto nila.

My family had a very relaxing and pleasant experience at Segara Villas.  I highly recommend this place for couples and small families.  The facilities and amenities are superb, service is excellent, and the place is located in a very private and relatively quiet area, unlike Seorabeol (which I found horrible on the outside, may mga nakasabit na towels sa balcony or windows ba yun, goodness!) and the other hotels near the Boardwalk.  The only downside is they're strict with the number of guests per villa - 3 adults, 2 kids, maximum.  For the 3rd adult (the yaya), we paid additional P1500 for extra bed and breakfast.  I would have paid P880 din if she just slept in the couch, wala pang breakfast so I opted to pay the P1500 na lang.

I think the price of the villa (P12k but I got a discount) is well worth it.  You get a 70 sq m loft with a BIG bathroom that has a jacuzzi and rain shower, fluffy towels, goose-down pillows (you can choose what you'd like from a pillow menu), super comfy bed with soft, clean sheets and since it's relatively new, it's pristine.  We also had welcome drinks, free breakfast, foot/hand massage for 2 (to the delight of my husband), afternoon snack and unlimited use of the pool.  My family were practically the only ones who used the infinity pool (though all 10 villas were booked).  There's a kiddie pool too.  I highly recommend this place.  In fact, the next time we're going, we'll most likely stay here again.  I find Segara Villas even better than the Yacht Club.

I finally get to try Meat Plus! in SBMA. It was quite pricey but sulit

Oven roasted beef belly tasted wonderful

What hotels are very near to Anvaya Cove? Ang mahal kasi mag-rent ng villa inside Anvaya eh.

Hello girls! My boyfriend and I are planning to go to Subic tomorrow. We will probably leave after his office hours (4 or 5-ish) so dadating kami doon ng gabi. For those who have been to Subic, can you suggest a cheap place where we can stay for the night? We don't need anything fancy kasi matutulog lang talaga kami then check out na the next morning 'cause we want to go around the place then go back to Manila after.

When I went there, I stayed in Blue Rock Resort. The rate is okay, but if you have other suggestions na beachside rin, please do tell me! Thanksss! Tomorrow na kami aalis so sana may magreply. Haha.

Masakit pa katawan at pagod pa pero share na ko ng another memorable experience namin. Kagabi lang kame nakauwi from Subic. We stayed at Grande Island Resort. Sobrang sulit na din ng trip na yun kasi masaya talaga lahat. Banana boat, snorkle, kayak, ATV, swim, swim, swim until negra na kame lahat! hehe! Maganda sa island, may kamahalan lang talaga lahat dun. In fairness masarap din naman ang food nila. Sana lang i-maintain nila ng maayos yung resort kasi may facilities na mejo pasira na like yung ATV...4 kame na nadisgrasya dun kasi mejo pumapalya yung iba! Pero ok pa din naman yung experience kahit na may konting disgrasya. Sana din may complimentary drinks sa guests kasi almost 2 hours kame nag-antay sa terminal for the ferry to arrive at wala man lang kahit tubig na libre! Isa pa pala, yung naiwan naming almost P300 pambayad sa toll gates eh nawala pagbalik namin sa car kinabukasan. Iniiwan kasi yung car at key sa terminal, exclusive sa resort guests at free naman, pero ayun nga nawala yung pera buti P300 lang. Siguro kung may naiwan pa kameng ibang gamit dun nawala din. Tsk tsk, irereport ko to sa head office nila bukas.

san location ng grande islang resort? mukhang masaya dun dahil "one-stop-shop" na sya. malapit ba ito sa ocean adventure?

[tinytins]

Hi mga sisses   share ko lang din experience namin when we went to subic from April 9-11.  Nagstay kami sa binictican homes.  Nagrent kami ng house.  Maganda sya at very relaxing kasi kumpleto sa gamit...may tv, ref, kitchen, mga utensils, plates etc.  2 storey house with 4 bedrooms.  Kaya tamang tama sa min na 9 adults and 2 kids.  Lahat ng rooms may aircon sala, dining and bedrooms at ang lamig super lalo na sobrang init ngayon sa subic.  Ang downside lang ang layo sa freeport zone so kelangan may kotse talaga para makauwi sa place at pumunta sa mga gimik places.  Sa price naman, di na sya expensive para sa 11 persons.  P6500-7500 per day. 

Nagpunta kami sa treetop adventure on the 9th around 5pm na.  Ang cut-off kasi ng pagbayad sa mga rides 530 pm.  Nag canopy lang kami kasi hindi na available yung iba dahil super late na kami dumating.  Hindi na rin nakapag-superman kasi ang haba na ng nakapila.  2 hours na daw waiting time for that.  After nun, nagpunta kami sa Le Man's Cart at yung mga boys nag-enjoy din dun.  Nung april 10 naman, nagpunta kami sa ocean adventure.  Nagustuhan ko yung mga shows especially yung high dive.  Tapos after lunch naman nagpunta kami ng zoobic safari.  Dun sa tiger safari, nakulangan ako.  Ang konti naman kasi ng mga tigers.  2 tigers lang ata ang nandun.  Katuwa lang nung nag feed kami ng chicken kaso kulang pa rin mga tigers.  Nung last day na namin, nagpunta kami sa factory outlets at sa royal subic dutyfree.  At cheaper nga dun sa dutyfree.  Hindi ko lang sure sa mga factory outlets.  Sa nike store kasi same price lang din sa mga malls dito sa manila.

Kumain kami sa Seafood by the bay at masarap yung food.  Kumain din kami sa Rali's at sabi nga dito masarap yung sisig.  Di kami nakakain sa meat plus at xpress xpresso at sa the coffee shop.  Sa susunod na punta na lang

Next time din, i hope makapag yacht club at Anvaya Cove kami.
