A time to get away from it all…

I don’t know why but a lot of things changed when I worked in a call center. Before, I used to be a home-body. I always look forward to my rest days for that’s the only time when I can truly spend my time at home. Watch TV, read books, listen to music but now I look forward to outings more than that of spending my time at home. I guess it’s because of the level of stress that I have to endure each day at work to meet the company’s goals. Going on a holiday is a way to get some time off from everything! From the city and from the people that you interact with each day (well, at times that’s true). And one of my favorite destinations are beach resorts. And the ultimate beach resort destination that I’ve been to as of the moment was Alegre Beach Resort in Calumboyan Sogod Island, Cebu. It is one of those resorts in the Philippines that are like hotels combined with luxury and nature. Luxurious because of the amenities that they offer their clients. A bathroom is covered with marble tiles from the floor to the ceilings, a bath tub (complete with mint bath salt and mint scented bath gel), a shower room (with bath gel, bath soap, shampoo and conditioner all mint scented as well), a counter top (with a bar soap and lotion which is mint scented as well and get this… a hair dryer!). That is why, most of my colleagues were so excited about the bathroom. But what I love about the resort are:
1. The bed that was so comfortable that I slept like a baby.
2. The restaurant that served the best dishes and the best leche flan so far (it was so good that I think I’ve felt euphoria).
3. The surroundings especially in the morning (I’ll just post the pictures again for you to see what I mean).
4. The crew who are so nice and courteous (I think I have said Good Morning a dozen times in one morning! I guess that’s the reason why I had a great morning that day.)

Alright, I guess am making a lot of fuss about this and I know there are a lot of other resorts who offer the same things but like what I’ve said, this is the ultimate resort that I’ve been to as of the moment and the best experience that I had in a resort. That’s why am writing about it but that doesn’t mean I will stop going to other resorts and stop meeting new people and stop experiencing new things. Because who knows I might have better experiences to write about. Right?
