We decided to take a short family trip to C&J Sunset View Resort over election weekend to recharge our batteries and spend bonding time together. Mikaela talked about the meteor shower that was supposed to appear in the Western hemisphere, and it was a perfect setting for us to go star-gazing. It was a pity that Monique couldn't come with us as she had a separate camping engagement with her friends in the hills of Tanay.
We left Manila at 5:30 am, but ran into 5 traffic accidents along the way. Took us a total of 8 hours traveling time get there, and we checked in almost at 2 pm. One tiring drive! It's a good thing that the room air-conditioning was working fine, and that the rooms were readily available when we arrived. The resort has a clean pool, and the beach is clear of jagged rocks and the water depth slopes gradually to a comfortable 5 feet deep some 20-30 meters from shoreline.
The resort has a few drawbacks--the restaurant closes early at 8pm, and the staff was partly composed of on-the-job trainees, who were still new to the job. Water pressure was low in some of the rooms, and cable TV was not available. Still, room prices were reasonable at around P2,500 per room night. One plus point--Denise left her phone charger in the room, and we had all thought that this was a goner. However, a couple of days after we left the resort, the manager gives us a call to confirm that the staff found the charger and that it will be sent to Manila via pouch. Now, isn't that great service?
