Just like what I said on my previous post. This post will be all about our Terraza which has two bedrooms. One has a King bed and the other one has two single beds.

We got the room with the king bed downstairs. It has the most comfortable feather pillows and the softest beddings….. Ykaie and peanutbutter♥ wanted to lie down immediately after we arrived but we also wanted to have lunch and then go around the resort afterwards.

Terrazas are located along the ridges of the island and it opens up into an amazing view of Mt Malindig. It has three individually controlled a/c unit and a Skype Belkin phone.

Arrived in Porta Verde today….

We arrived in Porta Verde Resort Villas in Caliraya, Laguna at around 2pm this afternoon and we’ll be staying here for two days.

I like the ambience and the atmosphere here… very relaxing.

And there’s no tv, only books!

So tonight, sis, kuya noel and the kids slept early. Ykaie,Rome and I are here at the lounge. Ykaie is singing one of her favorite songs– “Rolling in the Deep” and I am typing up this post.

I wish I know how to play luna acoustic guitars so I can play while Ykaie’s singing.

Good night!

Sweet Bellaroca Island {Part 1}

We’ve been wanting to go to Bellaroca Island Resorts and Spa ever since we found out that it existed. By we, I mean my sister, my cousin Rome, peanutbutter♥ and I. The only thing that was holding us back from going there is the rate of the stay. I think a regular day in Bellaroca is around P20,000 – P40,000. It was too expensive for our budget. But when we saw this deal from Deal Dozen last December, we didn’t think twice and bought it. The deal was a 3D/2N stay for four {Ykaie’s for free since children below 12 years old are free of charge}, P20,000 worth of welcome credits which you can use for food, drinks, mini-bar and marine sports.

The original value of this deal is P120,560 and we got this Bellaroca Island package for only P48,500.

We scheduled it for May, just in time for peanutbutter♥‘s vacation.

We flew via Zest Air which I think is the only airline flying to Marinduque. Upon arrival, we were fetched by the Bellaroca staffs from the airport and led us to a big van together with a few more guests. More Bellaroca staff are waiting there who immediately handed us cold water and fragrant cold towels.

Oh gosh. The cold towel is perfect because the flight made us hot and sticky.

From there, we didn’t see our luggage until they took it to our villa.

The ride in the van from the airport was a good 45 minutes, then we were transferred to a speedboat which took us to the island in 5 minutes.
