Just a few weeks again, my associates and I had a year-end gathering (a practice we began a few decade in the past), and we selected Samal Blu for the venue – a non-public by-the-beach resort in Brgy. Limao in Samal.
Right here’s a map going to the resort.
We booked this place for an unique in a single day keep for 17,000 pesos. And similar to some locations we booked up to now, it additionally had some issues that didn’t meet my expectations. Such issues might make it easier to determine whether or not to e book the place or not.
Let’s begin with the issues that I favored in regards to the resort:
- It’s spacious; the frequent space, which included the eating and leisure space, was fairly big; we had loads of house to do for our Christmas program, together with parlor video games.
- It had loads of cooking units and kitchen objects; you’ll be able to put together your meals generously with out worrying about kitchen tools.
- The room was past expectations; it was good (a minimum of the one we bought).
- The seashore was just some steps away.
- We had the entire place completely.
Now, listed here are the issues that I think about a few of the drawbacks
- It’s removed from the freeway; we needed to stroll about 500 meters to the resort (for those who deliver your automotive, no downside).
- We skilled a number of energy interruptions; fortunately, we had an engineer in our group who traced and solved the connection downside – who discovered {the electrical} connection, which ran each the AC and water provide, was not put in correctly, so it tripped off a number of instances after we used AC and different home equipment concurrently).
- Just one particular person in the home to take care of our wants; after we arrived, he was nonetheless making ready what we would have liked – he needed to do all of the work.
- No free drinkable water (we had to purchase on our personal – good factor the workers helped us with the acquisition; nearest retailer nonetheless distant)
VERDICT
The resort generally is a nice venue to host occasions – like household gatherings or getaways with associates. So, for those who plan to e book, think about the professionals and cons I’ve shared above. If you happen to suppose the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, go!
As for my expertise, it might have been extra satisfying if we hadn’t encountered a number of energy cuts.
