After a deliciously long breakfast…came what the kids are waiting for — swimming time!

There are four (4) swimming pools around the garden and you can take your pick and lounge in them until 6pm. There are no lifeguards around and no lights in the pool area either so it would definitely be a bummer if you wat to go night swimming. This is the kiddie pool where we mostly stayed during our micro-vacation.

Ykaie, Cyra, and Cyvrine a.k.a. “The girls” has matching swimsuits.

Ykaie and my two nieces had killer outfits that matches the Balinese-inspired surroundings of Cintai Corito’s Garden. So naturally, we seized the opportunity to take pictures before letting them play in the water.

I love the intricate detail of the carvings and sculptures in the walls….

Cintai (pronounced “Chin-tai”) is Indonesian for the word LOVE.

Love for beautiful places, family bondings and swimming and the Balinese-inspired surroundings are what brought us to give this sanctuary a try last April.

Let me start by telling you all about the room that we got which is the Garden Villa. Normally, this is priced at ₱16,500 and has a capacity of 6 adults. It has two regular queen beds and one poster bed in the middle. We got this at deal grocer for only ₱10,000 courtesy of my cousin Rome who was celebrating his birthday the following month.

The poster bed would’ve been ideal for couples because it looks so romantic but romance dies if there are four more adults and three cute but naughty kids staying with you in the room. So it was okay that peanutbutter♥ and I didn’t get the poster bed. This was left all to Ykaie and sis…
