Best Spot for Relaxation: Astoria Palawan

-
As part of the perks of being a member of Astoria Leisure & Vacation Club Inc, we received complimentary 3D2N stay at Astoria Palawan. Since we have already visited the top tourist destinations in Puerto Princesa, we decided to not leave the hotel and just relax. 

Warning: This is a photo heavy post. LOL

Having been able to stay in Astoria Current and visited Astoria Boracay, I had high expectation from Astoria Palawan. I kinda knew that I wouldn't be disappointed. Just like Astoria Current, it is so vibrant.

Reception Area. Sorry, I was not able to take a photo of the full Front Desk. :P
We stayed in one of their Deluxe Rooms. It has 2 queen sized beds, dining table, personal fridge, microwave, coffee and tea maker, eating utensils, bathroom has shower & bath.
Published rate of this Deluxe Room is P6,600 (inc. taxes & fees), breakfast for 2 is also already included. 
Always check their website and book directly. This room is currently on promo, P4,950.00: Free Breakfast for 2 is already included
We knew that Astoria Palawan is more than an hour away from Puerto Princesa City so we were prepared to just stay in and enjoy the whole place. Since we were able to do the PPC tour last time, we didn't mind! 

And I mean, who would complain if you've got this massive and beautiful pool? We loved how we had the pool all to ourselves most of the time! 


And it looks even more majestic at night! 
Drinks by the pool? It does not get any better than this! :)
We had our meals at the resort's restaurant, The Reserve. Food was okay, not really impressed, but it's okay. Especially because it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be. :D

Sharing some food photos!






We were not able to finish all the food, so we had some chicken left over and the almost untouched pizza for take out. It served as our breakfast on our second day. :P Our free accommodation did not include the breakfast, so it was perfect! We didn't have to avail of the Breakfast Buffet the next morning. :D

More Food!

Their cocktails were Buy 1 Take 1 from 6PM-9PM. 
On our 3rd Day, we still ate some of the(leftover lol) pizza for breakfast and then we availed the Buffet Breakfast for Brunch! We had lunch at 9:30 AM
Egg station! My favorite part of any buffet breakfast. :D
Bread Station
  
Salad Station

My poser breakfast plate. I actually had rice on my second plate. :P
They had more options, I was just too hungry to take a photo. Adobo, sausages, danggit, rice, desserts, cereals, etc.

Astoria also has videoke room, gym, game room, free use of kayak and bikes as part of their amenities. These facilities can be used by the guests for free.
The Game Room. There were gusest on the other side so I wasn't able to take a photo. 

Lobby at the other building,
Gym

To set everyone's expectation, the sea is predominantly low tide, we did not actually swim there. We were, however, able to enjoy kayaking. Make sure to wake up early to enjoy the calm beauty of the sea. We were told that the best time to kayak is 7AM-10AM.

Astoria is still on the process of making the their beach front more beautiful. They're nourishing the sea to give guests even better experience in the future. Since guests have limited access to the beach, we were given 1 day free pass at Palawan Water Park which will be up on my next blog! :)

Hair Matters

When it comes to my hair, I always play safe. Hair check! Last time I had my hair really short? Hmmm, when I was in elementary school! I think I was in second grade? I don't remember if it was my grandmother or my mother who decided that I should have my hair cut short. I was just a little kid so I had no choice but to oblige. I obviously did not like how it turned out. It was actually because of that experience that I don't ever want to make a dramatic change to my hair. I remember how some of my classmates made a not so good comment with my then new haircut. THE hair can actually make you (feel) really ugly or pretty. So hair matters, right? RIGHT??? See, it's always in (almost) the same length. Straight. The only difference I actually make is the fringe. I either have it pulled back, full, side swept or none at all! And my face is asymmetrical (plus big) so yeah. I really don't have that much choice. I don't have the face which is flattering to short h...

Lights. Pretty lights. Oh Christmas Tree! Why so taaalllll?? I started my December right by meeting up with my best friends at the Mall of Asia last December 1! We didn't take much photos because we got so excited catching up. We did not see each other for some time, so when we finally met up that day, kwento galore!  My Bestfriend, Jessica. I love how vain my bestfriend is! We really are best of friends hahaha! I used to be more vain than her, but as of the moment, I think she's more vain than I am! :)) And this is me, of course Top: Oxygen || Pants: Paper Scissors || Wedges:  Payless || Bag: Guess We were with Ymel, our other bestfriend, too but she's pregnant and she didn't want to have her photo taken because she thinks she's too fat. Well she gained weight because she's pregnant! Can't wait to meet Baby Zoey!!

For a week, I was given a chance to live a life that I wanted to live. I felt so happy. I felt so free. I felt responsible for myself. I did not worry much, in fact, I did not worry at all. Well, except for that one time, but I got it settled  right away. It was really fun. I know I said this already but  I felt really, really, REALLY happy. I've been dreaming of living a life like that and I am really thankful I experienced it. Even for just a short while. But then again, wouldn't it be a lot better if I were given a longer time to enjoy it? Yes, it was tiring. Even exhausting at some point, but if you were to ask, I can totally live a life like that! I would love to re-live that moment over and over again. I still cannot believe how so many things happened and had been accomplished for a week. So many thing had to be done and somehow, everything got settled. There was even an unexpected accomplishment which made everything more worthwhile.  I do not even...
