A couple of weeks again, my associates and I had a year-end gathering (a practice we began a couple of decade in the past), and we selected Samal Blu for the venue – a non-public 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 previously, it additionally had some issues that didn’t meet my expectations. Such issues could allow you to determine whether or not to e book the place or not.
Let’s begin with the issues that I appreciated in regards to the resort:
- It’s spacious; the widespread space, which included the eating and leisure space, was fairly large; we had loads of house 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 (at the least the one we acquired).
- The seaside was just some steps away.
- We had the entire place solely.
Now, listed below are the issues that I think about among the drawbacks
- It’s removed from the freeway; we needed to stroll about 500 meters to the resort (in the event you carry your automobile, 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 making ready what we wanted – 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 distant)
VERDICT
The resort is usually a nice venue to host occasions – like household gatherings or getaways with associates. So, in the event you plan to e book, think about the professionals and cons I’ve shared above. In the event you assume the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, go!
As for my expertise, it might have been extra pleasurable if we hadn’t encountered a number of energy cuts.
