A Time for relaxation

I have been quite busy with life... traveling from place to place to conduct training....So when I arrived home, I decided to bring my family out for a short fun and adventure. Its summer time already and I feel guilty that I have not even brought my 8 year old son for a summer vacation. So just shortly after arriving from my training in Davao last April 12-14, 2012, I brought my family out for a trip within our province... Cebu...

Our Destination - Palanas Mountain Resort, Boljoon, Cebu Province. The idea actually came up after reading a blog from a friend of mine who went there just recently during the holy week. So we pack our bags and went to the site.. Actually I have never heard of the resort til I was able to read the blog. So it was as rather exciting and intriguing considering that I do not know much what to expect.

Well, the trip was aroun 2 hours drive, it was not difficult to find since there was a sign on the main road (Palanas Mountain Resort) but the road heading there was quite far.. (around 12 kms. from the main road).

Nevertheless, I would say that the trip was well worth it. We arrive at the resort and found out that we were the only guest at that time. It's like renting the whole resort for ourselves. Our room was also very nice, just outside is the swimming pool. Eventually after arrival we toured the area and from there, I could say.. this is it..



Peaceful, Quite and very relaxing....

The area is more or less 12 hectares and is development is on going. Our room is situated next to the pool, which is obviously great. My son did not lose any time dipping on the pool trying his new mask and snorkil.



Later part in the afternoon, we went fishing in their pond, we have to since dinner would depend on our catch. Well, we do brought along some pork for grilling. Should you wish to go there, I suggest that you also bring some food for cooking an some snacks or even canned goods. They do have a store in the area but it would be great to bring those that you prefer to eat.



I never had any luck in fishing so I did not bother to try, rather my wife and son were patient enough to do the fishing and the result.....Our delicious dinner.... After dinner we dip in the swimming pool once again and spent the rest of the evening having fun and enjoying the cool breeze of the mountain accompanied by the sound of nature.....

When morning came, and after taking breakfast, we packed our things and headed back our way. But instead of going home, I decided to go the beach.

We went directly to Dakong Bato Beach Resort. The resort got its name since it used to be nothing but rocks near the sea.... know more about Dakong Bato on my next post....
