A number of weeks again, my pals and I had a year-end gathering (a convention we began a couple of decade in the past), and we selected Samal Blu for the venue – a personal 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 could provide help to resolve whether or not to guide the place or not.
Let’s begin with the issues that I preferred in regards to the resort:
- It’s spacious; the widespread space, which included the eating and leisure space, was fairly enormous; we had loads of area 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 seaside was only a few steps away.
- We had the entire place solely.
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 (when you convey 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 came upon {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 individual in the home to take care of our wants; after we arrived, he was nonetheless getting 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 employees helped us with the acquisition; nearest retailer nonetheless far-off)
VERDICT
The resort is usually a nice venue to host occasions – like household gatherings or getaways with pals. So, when you plan to guide, think about the professionals and cons I’ve shared above. In the event you suppose the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, go!
As for my expertise, it may have been extra pleasant if we hadn’t encountered a number of energy cuts.
