This is a totally sudden and unplanned trip to Puerto Galera. My sister who calls herself Anney booked a groupon deal for four people for 3 days and 2 nights stay here at El Canonero Diving Resort. All her friends backed out from this trip and the night before, she asked me and Rome to come with her.

El Canonero is located along the far end of Talipanan Beach. It is farther than White Beach and is around 5-10 minutes away by boat. Being the paranoid mom that I am, I always make sure Ykaie is safe when boarding any boat or ferry. As usual, there wasn’t any life vest available for kids in the ferry going to and from Batangas Pier. I made a mental note to check out the life vests as soon as I get home.

We arrived at the resort at around 5pm.

We had an air-conditioned room with a double bed and one double deck. Rome got the top bunk, sis the bottom and then Ykaie and I got the double bed.

There is a mini- fridge, a tv and some toiletries like soap, shampoo and tissue roll.

After eating breakfast at the San Diego Restaurant, we changed into our swimsuits and went to the double infinity pool. This double infinity pool opens up to the sea and has amazingly relaxing view.

You’ll feel like you are really in the middle of the ocean!

Our Room at Peninsula de Punta Fuego (Part 1)

After a fun dip at the beautiful pools at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, we had to go back to the Peninsula de Punta Fuego by 2pm. That’s the check-in time and our room was ready by then. We occupied one of rooms at the Casita which was big enough for 4 people. It has two double beds and the room was very clean.

There was a fruit plate and the room opens up into a full veranda. There’s no view, though, only two comfy seats where, I don’t know, you can smoke and gossip?

If not for the two double beds, I’d say the room has romantic possibilities. Aside from the cookies, chips and nuts, they also have wine at the mini-bar.
