Ah, the sweet life (or as Uno would say “the best day
ever”, got it from Spongebob of course)! That’s was our experience during our
Day1 and the Day2 in Misibis Bay. Our 3rd day was a little bitter
though, because we all knew that sooner, this fairyland will vanish and real
world will kick-in.
DAY 3:
Typhoon “Gorio” was mean to us. He decided to give his
full rage that day, putting Albay on Signal No. 2. But Misibis Bay wouldn’t claim
to be “Weather Proof” for nothing, though they stopped operations for their outdoor
activities (for safety reasons). There are still tons of things to actually
enjoy indoors (time was the one who’s KJ).
After our filling buffet breakfast, we headed immediately
to the activity center. Uno and I played a little Ping-Pong. Err, we actually
pushed the ball towards each other using the racket. It was so fun to see her
giggle with laughter.
When Uno got tired, I left the kiddos inside the
playroom and challenge the Esposo for a billiard match. We played 2 sets of 8-balls,
2 of which I lost.hehe Divided naman kasi ang attention ko between the kids and
the game. #Palusot
After that no-match billiard game (kung makapagsalita, kala mo nanalo), we went upstairs for karaoke-time. There was also a Foosball
table which got the curiosity of the little girl, but I told her we will sing “Maya
Song” aka Please be Careful with My Heart, so she didn’t argue. There was also a business center which was calling
me, but the call of Uno to sing was louder, so it's videoke time for all of us.
We wanted to dip in our private pool after, but changed
our minds. Ang lamig kasi. I have to pack yet. Our luggage was picked-up on time
(a schedule was given to us the night before). We were picked up next. The rain was too strong that time that we have
to wrap the kids with bathroom towels and soaked our feet in an ankle deep flood
in front of the villa’s door. It was really tough because we have to hold the
umbrella with one hand, carry the kids on the other and sling our hand-carries.
That’s okay because I believe that they scheduled that to meet our flight schedule.
To my surprise we were just made to wait for almost an
hour in the reception area. The van assigned to us was not there (or is it
heading back to the resort from Legaspi yet). Worst when the van arrived, the
rain has settled. See, sana, hindi muna kami sinundo. Sana tuyo lang kami at
komportable yung mga bata sa villa since technically we’re still paid up to the
12pm - standard check-out time. I wish they’d be more sensitive next time.
It’s our last minute, useless to complain. Anyway, that was a super minor glitch considering all the VIP treatments we received from them. And as we swore, we would definitely be back at Misibis Bay (considering I haven't set my feet on their sand).
The service van was again, Super Grandia - all to ourselves. Accordingly, it’s
the only type of vehicle they use as service to guests. As usual, the kuya driver
made the long travel barely noticeable. He also showed us interesting fact. Apparently,
there’s a part of the ocean that sea-vehicles use as resting station during
storm rage. There was 1 passenger vessel when we passed that area, kuya
predicts that later that day, it would be filled with vessels cautious in facing
the storm.
We arrived at the Legazpi Airport on time, but our flight back to Manila was cancelled due to the storm. An adventure awaits the family anew. Extended vacation we’re ready for you. J
I have first heard of Misibis Bay because of the drama in the local tv network from a co-teacher of mine. I never thought there's a real Misibis here. I hope to visit there sometime soon. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the drivers were telling us about that. It was shot 2 weeks before our vacation.
DeleteWhen we go Bicol, I hope we can also go to Misibis Bay. Looks really great just by reading your stories.
ReplyDeleteMisibis Bay is the Bicolanos pride. They all are proud of it.
DeleteI've searched Misibis Bay and as in super ganda pala dyan and super mahal ha.. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI hope you still had a great time kahit bumagyo. :)
Buti nga last day na namin nung bumagyo, although we didn't experience some beach activities becuase of the typhoon. That only gave us reason to come back.hehe
Deletealso read the day2, and what i can say? i'm super inggit hahaha, love that place i want to go there
ReplyDeleteLuxury at its finest. And what I really like was that they were not discriminating. Every guest is treated equally VIP.
Deletereally! i really like to see that resort
DeleteIt's worth a visit. =)
DeleteIt must really be a good place considering the price. I've heard the price of the rooms there starts from $300++...hehe Looks like your anniv was really super special! :)
ReplyDeleteSabi nga, Luxury has its price. Pero what's good was that it was totally compensated. Ramdam mo yung pera na binayad mo na bumalik sa'yo.
DeleteI'm glad to know that you still had a great time despite the bad weather. I heard a lot of good reviews about Misibis Bay, medyo pricey nga lang daw. :)
ReplyDeleteMedyo nga talaga. For experience purposes, sometimes we have to indulge. hehe
Deletewow, their service reminds me of crimson resort here in mactan... one of the best i've ever been to so far. i hope i can visit misibis soon. it looks like a fun resort based on your experiences.
ReplyDeleteI am eyeing Crimson as our next destination. I heard good reviews of it too.
Deletei only read about Misibis bay in one of the paper back i read before.. the author description is beautiful , i hope i can visit the place in the future..
ReplyDeleteI really hope you can witness its beauty. =)
DeleteI love the photo with the umbrellas. It's a very great place based on your story and photos. Someday, God Willing, our family can visit it too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. In God's time, I know you'll be able to visit it too.
DeleteThat would be in our list for next summer. :-) Kids are a bit bigger now and would surely enjoy the trip.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they would really enjoy here and so do you. You wouldn't not need to watch your kids closely unlike us.hehe
DeleteI'd love to see Misibis also! Am sure it was a memorable time again for your family. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should go, support Philippine Tourism.
Deleteis this the same bay in the TV series at TV5?
ReplyDeleteIt is. =)
DeleteThanks for bringing us to Misibis Bay sis! Seems that you really had a great time despite Gorio.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. =)
DeleteMisibis bay rings a teleserye to me.. is this that same place? or coincidence lang? :P
ReplyDeleteanyways,
Yay,You nailed the trip! kahit my bagyo! :)
It is the same. They shoot two weeks prior our vacation according to the driver assigned to us.
Deletemisibis bay. I hear this a lot. Ok ba tlga jan?
ReplyDeleteHighly recommended! =)
Deletewow!!! that's one of my dream destination. been checking deal sites for misibis promo that can use next year when I go back home.
ReplyDeleteWatch out at Deal Grocer. Or you can check directly on their site. They post special offers, from time to time.
Deleteoh my, the last day must have been quite a challenge... *sigh* the weather is not easy to predict. i'm glad to know the earlier part of the vacay was great.
ReplyDeleteWeather could be really unpredictable. It was too hot when we arrived.
Deleteahh, at totoong may misibis pala, (thinking of the TV5 show)
ReplyDeletenice resort
This one is true to life.hehe I only knew that there was a teleserye of the same title when the driver informed us.
DeleteI wonder what could be next? You sure did have an adventure there and the extension would be an intriguing continuation...seems like the climax of the story is at its height. :D
ReplyDeleteYou bet. hehe
DeleteCan't wait for the next adventure... Sarap naman... I want a long vacation too. Kelan kaya? Hehehe
ReplyDeleteOur next adventure was luxurious in a humble way.hehe
DeleteAwww, kawawa naman yung kids! But like you said, a "minor" glitch like that wouldn't have rained on your parade - literally! Mag-iipon na ako for Misibis Bay! :D
ReplyDeleteMas kawawa yata ako, ang bigat ng karga ko.hehe
DeleteI hope by this time you'r back home na. I've heard so much about Misibis Bay.
ReplyDeleteYes, were back. Our flight was resched on July1.
DeleteSo there's more pala hehehe...sige will wait for the update on next post :-) Vacation never ends....sarap naman
ReplyDeleteIt stopped na. We're back to reality last July 1 pa.
Deletei'm excited about the extended vacation. hihi! anu kaya nangyari sa inyo after the flight was cancelled? blog about it ha. sana you had fun pa rin! :-)
ReplyDeleteYay to family adventures! I wish we could go there, and Cebu and Davao and Boracay and HongKong. Haha!
ReplyDeleteREally interesting holiday that you had. It must have been an adventure.
ReplyDeleteSayang! Si Gorio kasi dumating sa Legazpi, lol! But I have been reading many good reviews about this grand resort. I'd love to experience too what your family was able to experience! Thanks for the detailed review too :)
ReplyDeleteat least your family didn't allow typhoon Gorio to ruin the vacay..
ReplyDeleteexcept for the food, we also enjoyed our stay there. so many things to do especially the motorbike trail to the glass church and zipline :)
ReplyDeletethe activities are many, there's no way guests will be bored! XD
