Viewing the Golden Sunset


Went to join the Company Outing in Golden Sunset Resort after a crowded 10K run and a over 3 hours drive to Calatagan, Batangas. It does not help that there's not much indication how far the place is and does not even direct you when you are in the actual street already but all bad first impression aside, we were able to find the place.

The place is like a much simpler Villa Escudero, complete with the cultural shows. It holds several pools, spa, videoke, outdoor museum, butterfly sanctuary and several acres of fishponds but what sets the distinction is that when it is sunset time, it does own a splendid view of the Golden Sun as it crosses into the night. Fishing was a unique experience even if after all the attempts I just managed to catch one (Oh well, you can't have them all), The 2-hour Indulgence Massage at the pond was relaxing with the fresh breeze as an added feature. The rooms were comfy, food abundant and the amenities are reasonably priced and overall it was a nice rest and relaxation breather.

The grass is dry and looks like the summer heat has taken its toll in maintaining the lush-green look. Oh well, forget the green grass, just jump into the blue pool. It's summer time and there is no other place I'd rather be spending it than in the Ph various islands. More travel tales to come definitely...
