I remember last month when I invited a blogger to Saint Monique Valais for our annual fiesta, he said he never expected to find a place like ours in Rizal. "It just feels like it's not Rizal Province" he lamented. Perhaps because people expected this eastern side of Manila as an outskirt and therefore think that it would hold housing projects for displaced Metro Manila residents.
But if you think of Rizal as a place of narrow streets, balding hills and shanty houses, think again. There are patches of paradise here. Binangonan, my new residence for one is a testament to that. And when my words are not convincing enough, brace yourself for the following photos of THUNDERBIRD RESORT Rizal where me and 5 other bloggers were invited for an all expense free 3days, 2 nights tour.
Think Rizal province? Think Thunderbird Resort!!!
.......my village is just below the hill and that made me think of this place as no different in terms of ambiance. The resort has made me curious for the longest time since I often pass by its east gate. Remember the last photo shoot we did with Marvin and Goyo? It's next to it. But I never thought of spending a few thousand pesos just for a one night stay for the misconception that it's basically the same view.
Come on, I see Laguna de Bay every single day. But as I tweeted yesterday ---
....although I live in the same area, this place, it's seclusion and ambiance is simply different. It's the THUNDERBIRD experience.
I was wrong. This place is worth it!!! Even better than a 5-star hotel accomodation in Manila if I may say so.
...........we are now @ day 2 of the tour and everybody's definitely having a blast!!!!
For now, it's tata!!! , as we look forward to having a great time again tomorrow. I will be talking about the whole experience in detail on my next posts so better watch out for that......

ReplyDeleteʎonqʎʇıɔ---reasonable, competitive. what can I say, better go here than stay in a hotel in Manila. at least dito---pakiramdam mo nasa ibang part ka ng Pilipinas. overlooking Laguna de Bay. I am not saying this out of gratitude for the free tour Nyl, but because yun ang totoo. 5-star amenities.
ReplyDeletePresent uli si Chyng!

ReplyDeleteNakakaingit naman. Bloggers in the Philippines are really blessed with more freebies than anywhere.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, the resort looks very promising - at least from your photos.
The Nomadic Pinoy--it is. even in person. you should try it when you have a vacation in the Philippines. What you said about bloggers is true. Good thing there is already what we call Filipino expats blog awards these days for those blogging outside the country.
ReplyDeletewow daming gala...ayun si chyng!!

ReplyDeletehttp://nboi.blogspot.com/2009/08/thunderbird-resorts.html
Mars--it is. aside from the good amenities and amazing location. it's not very far from Manila. that's a big sigh of relief to weary travelers.
ReplyDeletethe quest boi --I guess every thunderbird resort has its distinct look and feel. That's what they are well known for. aside from the hospitality of coarse.
