Post New Year, the whole family motored down to Tagaytay City. Excitement was in the air because the kids and I haven't been here for a long time and it was also the hubby's first time to see the place. Due to the notorious traffic along the South Expressway, I've mercilessly given up going to Tagaytay through the years in favor of other itineraries in the North. But I guess absence does make the heart grow fonder.... On the way there, we first make a lunch stop at Kanin Club in Paseo de Sta. Rosa. As expected of this in-demand resto, we had to wait for a few ... Continue Reading...
Coron Gateway Hotel
As I said, even on a lean month like September, lodgings in a tourist town like Coron were fully-booked, especially popular ones like the Village Lodge and the overrated Sea Dive. So we ended up in the most expensive place, the Coron Gateway Hotel which was on its soft opening at that time. This was located in a nondescript building that looked more like an office than anything. The room cost us P3,500 a night, but we were certainly satisfied when we saw it. I liked its interiors, and an LCD TV wasn't something I expected to find in a provincial hotel. We also ... Continue Reading...
Coron, Palawan travel tips and mini guide
Truth to tell, Coron in Palawan was the most memorable place I visited this year, especially if you count the uber-turbulent flight we had there on bad weather. I also couldn't forget this place since this is where we made Baby Z, tee hee. I guess it was the powerful combination of nature and nurture that did us in :D Coron foremostly entices you with its lush beauty. One major activity here is island-hopping where you can enjoy the sea, the mountains and the islands in their full splendor. Must-visits are the some of the town's famous nature spots:Siete ...

Canoe Beach Resort & Punta de Uian in Zambales
A stay in any of the beach resorts in Pundaquit (also spelled Pundakit), San Antonio, Zambales is a must if you're going island-hopping around Capones, Camara and Anawangin, Cove. The number of resorts in the area has really grown and expect a few being built to reach completion as the area becomes a must-visit beach destination. In the days of the US bases, San Antonio was the site of the US military's San Miguel Naval Communication Station, and even Anawangin was just their practice grounds then. Our tour guide billetted us at the Canoe Beach Resort. I have no ... Continue Reading...
Sidetrip to Anawangin: Capones Island
A trip to Anawangin wouldn't be complete without dropping by the adjoining islands, namely Capones and Camara. We were supposed to go to Camara first, but the waves proved too strong for our banca (outrigger boat) to dock and so we hopped over to Capones instead. It's a good 20 to 30-minute ride away from our hotel in Barangay Pundaquit, depending on the weather. Along the way, you will not get bored and just admire the scenery because the sight of the vast blue sea and majestic mountains are simply breathtaking. Finally, we arrive in Capones island which is made ... Continue Reading...
