Just to give Hongkong a little rest, I’m posting a teaser from our three-day vacation in Bohol. I totally loved it there and I wish I could go back soon…

Camayan Beach Resort, Subic Bay
After our tiresome and wonderfully stinky experience at Zoobic Safari, swimming was scheduled the next day. We went to Camayan Beach Resort which is located directly across {and owned by} Ocean Adventure.
Ykaie slept in the car on the way to the resort and when we got there we woke her up. She was in such a bad mood she didn’t wanna smile at the camera.
Later on, we were able to coax her into smiling…while my cousin paid for the resort entrance fee and the cottage.
The entrance fee for adult is P300 and P25o for kids. Our Cabana costs P750.
Camayan Beach Resort is used to be called Miracle Beach during the days when the US Navy was still present in Subic Bay. It is truly a world-class resort committed to being environmentally responsible.
We got there at around 11am, look how hot it was!
But the kids wanted to go swimming as soon as we got to our cabana. We told them that they have to eat first before they could go into the water.
Our cottage was a little small, not enough room to stretch but it was okay since nobody really stayed there except for the lolas {grandmas}.LOL!
Some pictures before going in the water..she’s wearing one of her old swimsuits…
Rainbow!
We made sand castles and had henna tattoos. I had flowers on my legs and ykaie had a butterfly on her back. Ykaie’s butterfly costs P100 and my flower p150. That’s cheap if you’ll compare it to Boracay or Puerto Galera.
What can you say?
We stayed at Camayan Beach until the evening because we wanted to watch the band and the fire dancers..

Sitio Lucia Resort, Sta. Maria, Bulacan
We spent Easter Sunday at Sitio Lucia Resort Garden Hotel. It is located at Pulong Buhangin, Sta. Maria, Bulacan. The entrance fee is P150 for adult and P120 for children below 4ft.
The resort is known for it’s Jurassic theme, with more or less 50 dinosaur sculptures scattered all around the resort.
I’ve been here six or seven years ago and back then, the resort was fairly new. Sad to say, they weren’t able to maintain some of the dinosaur sculptures. The color of some dinosaur has faded and some dinosaurs have chipped out paint.
We still enjoyed posing with them, though, specially the little ones. It’s their first time to see those sculptures. Ykaie was scared of the big dinosaurs. We had to remind her repeatedly that those dinosaurs were only statues and they wouldn’t move.
Because Ykaie was scared to pose all by herself with the big dinosaurs,Tito Noel {my brother} had to carry her so we could take pictures.
Since it was Easter, they have clowns and programs such as Egg Hunting and a Singing Contest, you just have to register here. Thanks to the clowns and staff who were kind enough to pose when I took their photo.
Sitio Lucia has six themed swimming pool, one of them is on the background. Since there are trees all around the resort, expect that you would see dried leaves and flowers floating in the water.
This is where the kids headed to swim first.
The kiddie pool is nice and is really big but they should’ve repainted everything– the slides, those mushrooms and the pool itself.
It was fun because I came with family but I really wished they did some kind of renovation. The resort is pretty and the rates are very affordable.But their dinosaurs will become extinct too if they don’t keep up with all the new resorts that keep on sprouting here and there.
