As we enter the Summer days, allow me to do a post about one of our family vacations. We had one of our adventures at Misibis Bay
and enjoyed a lot during our stay particularly because of the good service we
experienced while we were there. Here
are some highlights:
We had a city tour on the way to the resort from the
airport. It was our first time in Bicol
and were happy to learn a bit about the area.
The highlight of the visit, of course, was viewing Mayon Volcano. We also had an opportunity to buy some
souvenirs while in Albay. The tour
lasted for 3 hours which was enjoyable despite being tired from the trip. I was thankful that we were assigned a spacious
vehicle during the trip so the kids were very comfortable. We were even allowed a quick stopover to buy
some snacks for the kids.
Upon checking in, we were glad to find out that the rooms
we booked were connected. We ended up
opening the connecting door for easy access since there were other doors
separating the actual bedrooms. There
was a refrigerator with a small freezer but they were very accommodating in
letting me store some my expressed milk in the freezer.
As part of the package, we availed of the buffet in the
main restaurant during our meals. I was
quite impressed with the choices that they have. I appreciated the station where they grilled
meats and seafood. Also, there was always
soup in the buffet which made it easier to feed the kids. Speaking of kids, another nice thing about the resort is
they have an indoor play area for the kids, complete with a pool of balls, art
materials and puzzles. We spent some
time there when it was too hot to play outdoors.
As I mentioned, what I liked most about the resort was its service. They were quite accommodating with our request for additional blankets and pillows. They constantly reminded me and Bry to avail of the tours that came with the package so we can set it in our schedule. It was also the little things, like looking for Bry to hand him over the band-aid he requested, and going to the city to purchase medicine for Bree.
The package for staying
at the resort comes with an ATV tour of the area (for the bigger kids and
adults) and a sunset motorboat ride to the sea for a better view of Mayon
Volcano (complete with some snacks). All the guests who checked in can also avail of water sports activities like driving a
jet-ski and riding a canoe. The
attendants by the beach were very attentive. I also like the idea that the resort has several
pools so you can easily swim in the one nearest you. Ben especially enjoyed the kiddie pool where
he can reach the floor and play freely.
Overall, I do recommend Misibis Bay for those in search
for a child-friendly summer getaway.
What are your thoughts? Have you been to the resort? I’m always on the look-out for child friendly
places to bring the kids so feel free to share if you know some places I can
check out.
