Anyone know a resort in Laiya na pwd magluto?

Hey mga sissies!

We went to Canyon Cove last Monday and I must say we really had a blast! Super worth it! Actually, nanghihinayang pa ako kasi overnight stay lang kame dito. Pero we decided to visit again within this year kasi nabitin kami. Ang haba pala ng biyahe... late na kasi umalis sa Manila, tapos naabutan pa kame ng traffic sa Cavite. Past 5pm na kame nakarating sa resort. My sis tried to ask the receptionist if we could extend our stay the following day kasi nga late na kami nakarating prior to the check-in time which is 3pm. Ayun, mabait naman at inallow kami hanggang 1:30pm instead na 12pm.

Also, I didn't pay for the 800Php extra pax. Walang siningil! IDK why. Inulit-ulit ko pa tanungin. Kaya we're so blessed! Yay!

Ang linaw ng matubig!!! What more kung sa Boracay na talaga!  Ang sarap nga talaga Sizzling Tofu ng Max's! Yung meal, masyadong overpriced pero keri na.

Commute lang kame via DLTB Bus sa Taft Ave Pasay. I'll share my story thru my blog once I get a chance to make one.

Hi sis nice Canyon Cove noh? Hehe nice to know you enjoyed. Dito me now sa Boracay, yup clear din water except sa area ng White Beach (Station 1,2,3), ma-algae siya.

[ashonlush]

^ Oo sis, super nice talaga. Nakita nyo ba doon yung bakanteng mga parang condo malapit dun sa main gate? Nacurious kame don at tinanong yung guard, tanong kasi namin kung nasunog ba siya or what. Umiwas yung isang guard tapos yung isa ang sumabat "Nalugi yan." Medyo creepy lang kasi tignan, parang haunted lalo na kapag gabi! Gusto ko sanang kunan ng pic kaso baka mamaya may lumitaw na mumu. Nyahaha! 

Anyways, thanks mga sis ah! Babalik talaga kami sa Canyon Cove. Yung big sis ko kasi di nakapag swim sa beach dahil dinatnan ng monthly period. Lols. Kaya ginawa nya, puro photo opps lang.

Ang dami ko ngang panghihinayang kasi dapat pala nagdala nalang kami ng snacks and drinks. Overpriced kasi yung price, lalo na yung Pringles... laki ng tubo nila from 83Php sa supermarket, naging 160Php. Hindi naman pala talaga super strict ang resort when it comes to food. Actually, nakapagdala pa kami ng food galing sa labas (pero syempre nakatago). Yung iba pa ngang guests, may dalang cakes tapos lantaran na may dalang Jollibee. Haha! Oh well, siguro no choice na yung mga staff, alangang itapon nila yon diba? For sure, magrereklamo yung mga guests dun if they won't allow them.

I also forgot to mention, dun sa tapat ng room namen, napansin namin, ang dami nilang lumabas sa room. I think mga 5 adults sila, family group I guess. Pwede naman siguro eh, kasi ang ang laki ba naman ng mga beds including dun sa malapit sa window. Or pwede ding nakalusot lang sila?

[forumera]

^ next time sis dala na lang kayo snacks. Di naman chinecheck baggage e.

Baka their room is the one bedroom suite? Di ko pa na try mag sneak in dun e hehe. Sa City Of Dreams pa lang haha. Pero di naman overnight.

[Mlabable]

^^Actually sa Canyon Cove parang hindi nila masyado chinicheck kung ilang tao ang pumapasok sa room. May nabasa pa nga akong blog na sinadya nila mag sneak in. Bale 4 lang dapat sa room, yung ibang kasama niya isa isa nalang pinaakyat sa room. Parang pwede nga lusutan pag ganyan.

[ashonlush]

^^ Oo sis, much better talaga kung magbaon ng snacks. 

I think same lang naman din sis katulad nung sa room namin. Sa isang bed nga, kaasya na kaming 3.

^ Mukha nga sis. Hindi mahahalata. Wala narin naman siguro silang magagawa lalo na kapag super peak season. Di naman nila pwede pa-dagdagan pa ng room yung guests dahil nakadepende pa yun sa availability ng room.

[andreil_19]

We went there last November sa canyon cove, may binigay na papel yung guard naka-indicate dun how many pax kayo then pagdating sa lobby they also check the # of pax. Kaya nagtaka ako paano nakapag-sneak in yung iba.They did not check our bags buti na lang at nagbaon talaga ako chips & cookies.

Malinis yung beach at malaki yung pool nila.Our room has 2 single bed pero can fit 4pax din or more kasi may extra mattres dun sa may window.Nasa bandang dulo nga lang yung room namin kaya ang haba ng nilalakad namin.

[ashonlush]

^ Yes sis. Gate pass yun, di ko rin maalala kung anong mga nakalagay dun. Pero siguro nga mabibilang talaga lalo na't kapag commute lang kayo. I don't know lang kapag nag travel by car, bibilangin pa nasa loob? Hehe.

Super spacious na ng Superior Room for me. Lalo na meron pang extra day bed malapit sa window. Hindi nga namin nagamit eh. Sa ground floor kame pero Ocean view naman siya yun lang, dun palang sa paglabas-pasok ng room going to the beach/resto, aabutin ka ng mga 5-10 minutes.

[marshie]

^I agree sis. We went to Virgin Beach last April and the ambiance is very relaxing. The non-airconditioned cabana is Php6000 (good for 6) but we were only 4 when we went there plus mandatory meal package of around Php1600 each. I would definitely go back

[michi247]

^^yes, binibilang tao sa loob ng sasakyan and pinakita din sa receptionist yung paper.  Paano kaya nakapag sneak in.

Pero maluwag talaga room ng Canyon Cove and may day bed pa.

[glacy_rein]

girls san maganda na pool lang tapos pwede magdala ng food (ihaw, alcoholic drinks) ang layo naman kasi ng san juan batangas...

[rics]

Was at Canyon Cove 1st wk of August.
Maganda naman yung place, but was not really that impressed.
Nakakatakot yung sira-sirang building. The rooms we got were nice though. And although the time we went was not preak season and it was quite raining, and daming tao. There were day trips from bus loads of young koreans who were very roudy. During breakfast, it took the staff quite sometime to serve the food. Guests were already complaining.  Will I go back - maybe only if I get the metrodeal price siguro.

[m]

hi sisses, any other good resorts in nasugbu? we dont like san juan na kasi.

[reighnyielle]

^ Sis try Terrazas de Punta Fuego. You're gonna feel like na parang you're in Bali, Indonesia 

[glacy_rein]

^mas ok si Cintai Garden's Bali-like talaga they have a promo sa dealgrocer ngayon kaso hindi pwede during Fri-Sat and holidays. For regular days lang

[potsharah]

Hi mga sis, meron po ba dito nagpunta sa Club balai via tanauan? kamusta po road? steep din po ba. TYA

[forumera]

Recently been to La Suena Brisa in Lemery, Batangas. Nice resort, nice staff, clean surroundings, good pool may visible lifeguards pa. Only problem is the beachfront, okay lang naman sakin na dark ang sand kaso madumi at may bubog. Sa umaga pwede pa mag swim pero pagdating ng hapon may kasama ng basura yung alon hehe. Went there for a day tour lang, bought from Metrodeal, very smooth transaction. They always reply pa sa FB messenger.

Few weeks from now we plan to visit naman Laiya Coco Grove, mixed ang reviews online, e I trust my GT sisters so please if you have been to this resort please tell me something like tips, reviews etc. thank you!

[msals2007]

Okay pa bang magpunta sa Canyon Cove ngayon. Been reading mixed reviews din pero mostly negative dahil sa outdated na rooms and overpriced food. Pero mukhang maganda ang pool at beach and not that far. Mageenjoy pa rin naman mga kids dito siguro no. And marami namang options na restaurant near the resort?

[forumera]

^sis we went to Canyon Cove last year around this time of the year, specifically November. Naka promo 3500 with breakfast, resort promo not from Metrodeal ah. Kasi sa Metrodeal 2999 pero no breakfast and that is from an agency so baka limited ang available dates.  Clean and clear ang water sa beach and also sa pool. May fish pa nga na makakasabay mo sa pag swim e, so it means clean talaga ang water. Sakto lang ang room size. My toddler enjoyed the beach, literal na tulog lang ginawa namin sa room nung gabi lang, we did not stay that much sa room hehe. Their resto is catered by Max, mas mahal ng konti like mga more or less 20-30 pesos compare to Manila prices. Outside the resort may mga fast food chains.
