All Hands Beach Resort, Subic

I have been to All Hands Beach Resort for numerous times but this is the first time I've ever had an overnight stay on that resort.

This us on a stop over while going to All Hands Beach Resort.

I'm was pretty much excited on what the resort can offer especially when I came with my whole family. And when I said whole - I meant complete attendance of my father's siblings together with some of my cousins.

See, this trip wouldn't even been possible if my uncle haven't recently passed away. His death brought my Titos and Titas home in Manila. Some of them came all the way from Ireland, USA and Australia. It is really the first time to have an outing grand like this. It's just sad that it only made possible because of a death.

All Hands Resort Villas

THE STAY

As I have mentioned, We were a lot.

25 pax I believe? They've (they meaning I have not shed a single centavo in this trip. so, Yey!) managed to rent 3 Villas that almost fit us. Me and Paul managed to stay on the top bunk bed together while my Mom and my Dad had separate beds. I wasn't paying for the trip so, yeah it was ok. They paid 1,700 pesos per person on that overnight stay on the villa. The Villa comes with a Air-conditioned room, several beds can fit 6 adults or more. And the per person package comes with:

• A fresh new towel (you can bring it home)
• Toiletries for every single one. (Shampoo, Soap, Toothbrush and Toothpaste)
• A bottled water
• Breakfast Meal

For a big group, I think it was a good deal rather spending a lot more on much high-en resort / hotel. My brother told me the expense was more or less on 25-28,000 pesos so, I'm not really sure on or head count, ok.

The Beach was still an ok for me. It was not the best on Subic probably but for me compared to Camayan Resort (which I have been too also), it was much better. In terms of privacy and price range. Me and Paul beach go to is All Hands because it was the nearest beach Me and Paul can easily drive to.

I don't know the feedback of my family from All Hands Beach Resort but I hope they enjoyed as much as I do. It was my first time to have an almost complete family member outing. Plus, there weren't a lot of people at that time that got us an almost private beach resort of us.

I forgot to mention that I had a work at that time (I've gone freelance now) I bought my work at the shore, I commend their wifi. It was reliable at times.

So, if you are trying to have a huge beach family outing, Try to consider All Hands Beach Resort.

Here are some more pictures of the resort for your pleasure. Enjoy!

Travel Journ: Booking and Planning

Normally, I manage our own Itinerary in our every trip for more control on our schedule in case of what’s – what with me and Paul. but last 2014, during our Cebu Trip we’ve manage to have 5 days stay at Cebu and I was thinking to go a beach but Paul didn’t want to do another travel especially a long travel so, a week before our Cebu Trip we’ve manage to bought a tour package for Bohol – it’s just a 2 hour ferry ride via Cebu City Proper. The Trip was hassle-free and I was really having a good time without worrying what’s next on our Itinerary. Being said that, Me and Paul concluded to just buy a tour package for our Puerto Princesa Trip.

I've made a simple pros and cons table to choose whether you'd go to a travel agency or DIY your trip.

Choosing your travel agency, is a bit tricky. be sure to do some research whether if the business is legit. our better yet, consult a friend who has recently bought a trip via travel agency or if they have an agency to recommend.

If not into travel agency, do some excessive research on a place you are wanting to visit. Download a map app on your smart phone or if your old school bring a physical map. Watch a lot of Travel Shows and do read blogs.

The most honest opinions are posted via blog sites.

Ultimately, the fun factor of your trip will be depending on you no matter how much you’ve spend on it. 

Losing Someone

I have been inactive for the past week, The reason is that I have been sick because of my massive boil and my uncle just died of due to complications on his prostate cancer.

I haven't seen my uncle in the past 3 years. His wife had a huge fight with my other relatives which our family also got accidentally involved as well. This resulted to them moving far north and didn't even gave us any information onto their whereabouts. But last 3 weeks before my uncle died, He went back to visit my father and my grandma to make amends on their broken relationship.

I was really close to my uncle, He was the one who always fetch me every friday night at our house to spent my weekend at their house (my father's ancestral home). We was the one who introduce me to Shawarma. He made us ride his motorcycle around the subdivision together with my friends. He was always jolly and full of jokes. Me and my husband (who was just my boyfriend then) spent our sembreak at their house at Nueva Ecijia. He was a bundle of joy to our family, especially to me.

I never had felt a massive loss such as this.

That's why I'm writing this. Writing this might give me a feeling of release, in terms of emotions.

I hope he is happy now wherever he is.

I love you, Tito Ninoy!
