Daddy's Birthday Weekend ~ Amazing at 75

If you are born during typhoon season, you are sure to have lots of rainy (hopefully not flooded) birthday celebration.  It was hard to plan a get-away, so a nearby hot spring-pool party is deemed acceptable.  It is party, where it is actually okay, to get wet (not to mention hot spring water's therapeutic benefits). 


If you are looking for hot spring private pools in Los Banos Laguna~ check Agoda or Airbnb. There is a long list of suitable private pools to fit your budget.  

For my Father's 75th Birthday we decided on renting a 4 bedroom private pool and invite cousins to join us- "they say the more the merrier".

Daddy's Birthday Cakes :P

And tin cakes from Consuelo's.

These were delectable and yummy.  High quality and much recommended!

The place we've rented is huge and can fit 20 persons easy. It also has enough parking for 4-5 vehicles.  The venue is well lighted at night, gated and with CCTV, so there is a feeling of added security and safety.  I personally liked that the place is PWD and senior citizen accessible ~ it fits our requirements spot on!

Here are some of the pictures we've taken:

The pool is invitingly lukewarm ~ the children were in the pool the moment we arrived and swam again before leaving. 

Night to Day Swimming... so "sulit"!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

 

NEPTUNE PITTMAN'S Garden Resort, Guimaras

Hidden is the town of Buenavista, Guimaras is Neptune Pittman's Garden haven.  Hubby and I were indeed delighted to see the resort's sprawling garden.

Each nook of the resort just screams "photo ops".

The resort's main attraction is it's botanical garden that showcases florae from around the globe.   True to Neptune Pittman's claim it is indeed a botanist paradise.


 

 

 

 

 

The resort has a restaurant bar, fish ponds, herbarium (homegrown herbs), basketball court, swimming pool and a massage/spa parlor (by appointment only).

 

 

They have air-conditioned rooms, that the care taker Kuya Wilfredo, graciously showed us. 

 

 

The Isabella Cottage (located about 500 meters away from the main house).

 

 

The Leo's Woodhauz, a wood house, located a top the Pittman's bar. Leo's Woodhauz is wonderful adorned with nicely crafted and detailed furniture pieces.

 

 

 

And Mag's Cottage, which is my favorite since it is closest to the resort's pool.

 

 

TIP:

The resort allows walk-in visitors' private tours to their garden.  If your are in Guimaras, planning a land tour, I suggest you include this beautiful garden resort into your itinerary.
