Now back to my story, We've decided together with my two dear friends, to go out and check out this new resort at Bustos, Bulacan called La Florentina Resort.
As for everyones knowledge, I reside at Meycauayan, Bulacan. The nearest bulacan in the metro (says me), travelling from here to Bustos, Bulacan wasn't really that far from us. As I remember it only took us an hour to get there. We had some stop overs at the grocery and bought lunch (Lechon Manok and Liempo) I wasn't really paying a lot of attention on the time.
So that's me been un-attentive to the time, we got at La Florentina Resort super early.
Good thing that their canteen was on the outside of the resort, We ate breakfast and we're contemplating on the option that the management gave us to go inside the resort early - We could pay for entrance fee and then rent for a cottage which cost 600 for the whole entire day. Sound good right? but the problem is we've rented an overnight stay at the resort which cost us Php 3,400 for 4 persons. On that note - breakfast and entrance fee wasn't included. We don't want to rent a cottage that we would only use for 3 hours before our check-in. So, we've stayed at the canteen for a while took some photos on their receiving area which is by the way really nice.

The hotel room - I don't really wanna call it a room 'cause it's more of a house on the outside. It was really NICE! I'll be throwing in a short video clip of the room tour - it will be in tagalog. For my foreign speaking subscribers, just message me if you've wanna ask something about it.
I was planning to do a Vlog about this trip but you know what they say if you have a lot of fun you forget to take some picture and videos of the whole event. Promise to do one real soon.

Here's a best effort photo from Paul:
We spent most of our time at the "private pool" cause the 3 pools was so crowded. This photo below was taken at the pool I am talking about.
I can't blame the resort 'cause it April - peak season for resorts here in the Philippines.
Even Beaches are gonna be flocked, April and May are Peak Seasons for Resorts.
Overall, this resort is pretty impressive. It's clean and well maintained. It has a chill vibe to it. Food was great, but I wish they could do a check-in package with breakfast included. But other than that, Everything is nice. If you don't want to travel far and just wanna take a quick deep this hot season, do go there before crowd would flock the scene. Something this nice won't stay as long a secret.
Budget Breakdown:
- Php 3,400 - Overnight stay for 4 people (Poolside) 3pm-11am
- Php 600 - Early check-in for 3 hours
- Php 200 each - Entrance Fee (1 person)
- Php 1000 - Lechon Manok, Liempo, Ice cubes, Softdrinks, Chips and Cup Noodles
- Php 99 each - Ultimate Breakfast with Iced Tea (La Florentina Canteen)
- We spent Php 1000 for fuel but we only consumed 1 bar off the tank.
