Hey what’s up guys? Ready for a good swim in a beach? Well here’s one for yah!
Quezon province boasts many natural wonders and one of them is their gorgeous beaches. Sariaya is one of the nearest places in Manila where you can swim in a beach but not the powdery white one (gray/light gray/black sand) still it is quite enjoyable.
Off to the beach!
When you go to Sariaya there are various resorts to choose from and one of them is Monte Vista Resort which is located in Brgy. Bignay II, Sariaya Quezon. It is just 2 to 3 hours away from Manila depending on the kind of transportation you have.
A scenic view!
Rise and Shine!!!! Low tide in the morning!!!!
The resort is a bit expensive as compared to the other resorts in the area but I assure you it is worth it! We paid P3,000 (All in! It includes the entrance fee for kids and adults.It is the cheapest one too.) for a long table with two benches because the other cottages/huts were already full. It was the peak season!
As you can see in the picture below, the long tables and the benches are inside this big open house structure. You can bring your own food and water in the resort. Outside, are barbecue grills where you can cook your own food. Shower rooms and toilets are spacious too with mirrors.
The Family house is the most expensive!!!
Hello there Mr. Carabao! Time to get the trash!
Monte Vista Resort offers a day tour ( 8:00 – 6:00 p.m) and overnight (1:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m.) Accommodations varies from bungalow, bahay kubo to nipa huts and those long tables.
The Nipa Huts are a few meters away from the shore!
More accommodations!!!
There are many hammocks to choose from for you to swing your worries away and some tents too.
If you are tired from swimming in the beach because of the incoming high tide why don’t you try their swimming pool located within their vast children’s playground.
Octopus Slide!
The playground has a mini golf course for kids, the usual swings and slide and even a giant chessboard which I forgot to take a picture can be found there.
Time to play! The other swings ,slides, and monkey bars are behind this wooden structure.
A fun and creative mini golf course!
For the adults we can play some beach volleyball!
High tide slowly coming in at 12 noon under the scorching sun!
The giant ship (not a real ship) near the entrance makes the resort interesting.
