Amanpulo is quite possibly the most beautiful beach in the Philippines. That means a lot, because we do have a lot of beautiful beaches in this country.
All my life, Amanpulo has been one of my dream destinations, and last year I was lucky enough to visit the resort with my family.
Amanpulo is situated in Palawan, and the only way to get there from Manila is by a chartered plane which lands on Amanpulo's airstrip.
The airport is separate from NAIA, but is located on a nearby hangar. Here we are hanging out at the Amanpulo lounge, obviously excited for our trip.
The chartered plane seats 19 people only, and the flight is around 1 hour long. Yipes! hahaha I was pleasantly surprised though, the flight was very smooth.
You know you're on your way to a luxury resort when a red carpet is rolled out for you upon boarding the plane!
Everyone is handed a hot towel before going up the airplane.
We were greeted by the resort manager at the airstrip and brought to our beach casita in a golf cart.
We arrived quite late and our merienda (snack) was waiting for us in our room when we got there.
I took a photo of the room the following morning for you guys to see! (Please excuse the mess :))
Coffee lovers are in for a treat! There's no extra charge for this, and it gets refilled everyday. Haha
Each casita also comes with a golf cart so guests can explore the resort freely. This made me REALLY happy. I've never driven a golf cart before! haha
First thing to do the following morning was choose a place for breakfast. We decided on the Beach Club so we could enjoy the most amazing view of the beach.
There are many other restaurants to choose from such as the Lagoon Club which serves Vietnamese food, the Restaurant at the clubhouse, and the Picnic Grove which serves a variety of pizzas.
For our lunch, we decided to try out the Picnic Grove! I'm so sorry, but I've forgotten the name of these pizzas! hahaha but everything was good, I'm just not such a fan of the dessert pizza (last photo). A little too weird for my taste! haha
After lunch, we headed to the Clubhouse where the swimming pool is located. It's beautiful too, but to be honest I'd rather make the most out of my trip and swim in their beautiful beach! Haha
The library is also located at the clubhouse. They have a wide collection of books and DVDs that you can borrow!
My cousins and I decided to borrow these 3 movies to watch in our casita! haha ! They were also serving snacks when we went to the library! Yum! Talk about great service!
To cap our day, we all headed to the Spa Casita to get a massage. Make sure to book this in advance! Our package included one massage for each person in our group.
Definitely the best trip ever! I love this country!
More on this trip in the next two blog posts :)
Some tips:
- Check if they have any upcoming special promotions
- They sometimes give discounts if you are part of a big group! (We were a group of 20!)
- Go during the off-peak season, and pray to God that it doesn't rain ;)
