Edit: Okay, this took longer than expected. For the sake of making this organized, I'll post things based on what I found good and bad for the venue of this outing.
The good stuff:
- having the resort to ourselves is awesome
- caretaker was very accommodating
- having a kitchen, grill, and refrigerator is a huge plus
- having a bonfire was pretty cool
- the beach was pretty awesome, the wind from the sea was always cold and looking for sea creatures was fun
- being secluded from everything is relaxing
The bad stuff:
- being too secluded kinda got boring after a day, it was hard to find something interesting to do without walking/riding for a few kilometers
- the electricity and water outage was annoying in many ways
- being in a remote location gave us difficulties getting additional supplies when needed (like ice, drinks, etc)
- room sizes were disappointing, but taking the bed frames out went in our favor
- closets in the room were useless, IMO
- the rocks and the tidal change pretty much dictated what we could and couldn't do at the beach
- bugs, they were mostly a nuisance during food preparation
- long travel time, enough said
Overall, what I can say about the location is that I would go back to Bolinao, but I'd pick a different resort.
Next, feedback on other stuff. I'd list them down regardless whether it's a good or bad thing:
- since the commuting party got to the resort WAY earlier than the carpool, we kinda had difficulties settling down. also, with most of the supplies being with the carpool, there wasn't much to do at the resort, not even getting a drink.
- we pretty much had an ample amount of help when it came to cooking, but we could use more help with the cleaning. Personally, this summing outing is also my summer vacation, and I don't really wanna spend most of my time cooking and cleaning up
- as for cooking, we simply need more materials. I'd go into detail, but I feel lazy
- I'm very glad that I didn't hear someone say "Nawawala yung [insert food/drink item here] ko!"
- I think most of the people (if not everybody) got along well
This is what I have in mind right now. I may add more later.Statistics: Posted by sketch — Tue May 28, 2013 12:05 am
