Happy place : Splash Mountain

Hi, everyone! First of all, Kiong Hee Huat Tsai! I hope everyone enjoyed the first long weekend of the 2012. Tomorrow, we are all going back to our usual routines but for now, let me reminisce a bit about my weekend.

As I've mentioned in my previous post, the boyfriend and I went to Laguna. We've gone to a resort called the Splash Mountain.
 

Splash Mountain caters to almost everyone -- families, barkadas and couples. You can also pick your choice of accommodation. If you're okay with just the basic amenities, then Splash Hotel is for you. Splash Suites caters cozier rooms and Splash Oasis feature the high-end ones, the coziest and most expensive rooms. You can visit their site here.

I first tried this resort back in 2009, with my boyfriend and her sisters. We had loads of fun! They have a lot of pools to choose from. They operate all 9 pools during summer time. And if you're a slide-lover too, then you will enjoy it as much as I did. The slides weren't working this time though, I think they'll open them in April.
Those two, especially the orange one, will definitely take your breath away.



Anyway, the room we had this time is the Deluxe with indoor pool. It was good for two people who just wanna sit in warm water and chat. It has a private toilet and bath a matrimonial bed, a TV and a mini pool. It's actually more of a jacuzzi type than a pool.  It was nice, just okay for my taste and our budget, which is P2500.00. Not bad, right? The bed, pillows and towels were clean. The people were friendly and accommodating.  Overall, the experience was nice.

Below are some of the photos I took:

I am such a water lover. I love swimming. Whether hot or cold water, it actually doesn't matter to me. Now, do you have great places that you can recommend for the next long weekend? Please do share! I would love to try a  new place next time. :)

Well-deserved

I am talking about this long weekend. I have been working soooo hard in both schools : the school where I am working and the school where I'm studying. I am actually lacking of good Zzzs lately. I've been finishing reports for my classes (whoever invented the idea of school reporting? please strangle him! or her.)

Now let's look at the brighter side of things. After all the work, I deserve this break! Wooohoooo! 

Since it's also our "monthsary" on the 23rd, the boyfriend and I are spending the weekend at Laguna. We're not really big on celebrating this monthly thing, I'm just used that excuse to go swimming. I looove water! And ooh, relaxing hotsprings! I'll review the place when we get back so you guys can try it too (if it's any good, that is) but here's a sneak peek of the room:

That mini pool inside the room is plain lovely, right? I am so excited!!!

Anyways, I hope you guys have a wonderful time this weekend. Share your plans! And yes, Happy Chinese New Year! :)
