BEACH PLEASE! - AN ESCAPADE AT MONTE VISTA BEACH RESORT
Summer it is! If you're looking for a beach to dip in which is pretty close to Manila then I guess Quezon is one of the top choices.
To start with, Monte Vista Beach Resort is located at Bignay 2, Sariaya, Quezon.
The beach resort is roughly 3 hours and 21 minutes away from Manila via Private car and about 3 hours to 40 minutes up until 4 hours via Public Utility Bus.
We visited this place February of this year as we were invited by my Mom's friend.
(We thought entrance and accommodation fee will be covered by her friend. But yeah, unfortunately it's not.) 😎) Anyway, let's proceed?

We decided to celebrate our Chubiroo's 5th month there since it's happening the next day.
We brought foods. And yes, NO CORKAGE FEE. There's also a grilling area where you can grill barbecue, fish and even hotdog " free of charge ".
We stayed in an Open Cottage Nipa Hut with 1 room (non-aircon). The room doesn't have mattress so better bring a foldable foam most especially if you have a baby with you. You may opt to bring a mosquito net as well as mosquitoes tends to roam around at night to guzzle fresh blood. Haha. (kidding.. but please take my advice for the baby's sake).
Back to the Nipa hut, it has a lot of electric outlets where you can charge your devices and other electric appliances - no restrictions. The cottage is huge enough and it can sit around 15-17 pax.
(This is where we stayed over the night. However, since I don't have any intention of writing a blog about this vacation I wasn't able to take a more decent and upfront photo of the cottage.
Forgive me folks. 😅😅😅)
Okay. Let's take a glimpse of their beach.

(Chubbiroo taking a dip early morning the next day. The water is VERY cold. I can describe underneath as " ma-bato " 😂 . Very cute and tiny rocks were under the beach water so it's advisable to wear Aqua shoes if you are to swim there).
Undeniably, most of us wanted to visit a place which is IG/FB worthy.
Good thing this place offers an environment which is not just Photo worthy but most of all a child friendly spot in case you have kids with you.
Check out below spots where your kids can play and take a cute photo.
Hubby and I opted to converse while seated on a swing - Chubbiroo on my lap. Arghhhhh!
A great bonding moment indeed. 😚😚😚
Apart from the above, they also have a pool both for the kids and adults however, I wasn't able to take a photo of it. Regret I wasn't able to get a copy of their updated rates as well but to give you an idea, their entrance fee was around P 200.00 for Adult. They have air conditioned rooms that can accommodate large groups down to couples.

From Manila, take the Jam or Tritran Bus liners (their terminal are located at the corner of Buendia St. and Taft Ave. Manila) whose destination is Lucena. Get off at Mazapan and take a tricycle or jeep to Bignay II.
And if you are from Alabang just take any Lucena Bound bus and get off at Mazapan then take a tricycle/jeep to Bignay II.
You may also waze the direction to check for faster/alternative routes in case heavy traffic is along the way.
I promise to be more informative next time. 😉
