Canyon Woods Residential Resort - Clubhouse Swimming Pool, Tagaytay Philippines

Walkway to the indoor swimming pool at the clubhouse
One of the amenities that most of us can't resist to use is the swimming pool.  There's always that calming quality about the water.  Not only does the exercise  good for your body but it always leaves you feeling relaxed afterwards because most of the time sleep comes next after a good swim.

Clubhouse's indoor heated pool and jacuzzi
Let's face it, kids love swimming (most of them, i think =) ).  Even those who's just paddling and waddling around the pool.  Kids love water!  That's goes to show that the indoor pool is packed with people young and old.  Some brought their own floating devices and pool toys.  It was a fun-packed, noisy-filled pool that greeted us.  Nevertheless, everybody enjoyed the activity.

The far side of the pool
Oh before I forget,  they have strict rules before swimming.  You have to wear swimming suits and swimming caps.  The swimming suit is a given.  So I brought my own swimming suit but I didn't bring any swimming caps.  Though it's really no problem because they sell them in the counter, still if you don't want to shed a few extra cash, bring your own swimming caps. =)

What's a swimming pool without it's locker rooms?  I was able to take a shot of the women's locker room.  See photos below.


Men's locker room
Of course, I cannot go inside the men's locker room, but here's the entrance to it.

Women's locker room
The entrance to the women's locker room.

The locker cabinets
The first thing that will greet you are these locker cabinets.  With wooden bench for you to sit on while fixing and organizing your things.


Inside the women's locker room
As you go deeper inside, this is what you will encounter.  The doors on the right are the shower rooms.  On the left, with the wooden stairs, I think is a jacuzzi (see below for the full photo).  On the far left, there are more doors.  They lead to the toilet rooms.  The spaciousness of the women's locker rooms is well designed for the convenience of its guests.


Jacuzzi?
I'm not really sure, but I think this is a jacuzzi.  I never really had the chance to ask any personnel there.  Nobody bothers to use it that day.

I love these amenities.  The indoor swimming pool is just great specially when its windy and raining outside.  It gives you a chance to enjoy swimming even if the weather doesn't permit it.  And oh, love the locker room.  Don't you love it?  It's like you don't want to leave the comforts of it.  This experience will always be something that's worth remembering by.

Canyon Woods Residential Resort brochure, Tagaytay Philippines

Canyon Woods Residential Resort brochure

How to really picture out the whole of Canyon Woods?  I won't be able to create a precise and complete blog about it.  With all its vastness, splendour and beauty, it would need an expert writer to create a book about this resort.  So when I saw this brochure,  I got the idea of sharing it with all of you so that you'll be able to enjoy reading and knowing even a part about it. 

Oh, and before I forget, this resort is membership only.  But you can enjoy this resort if you have a friend who's willing to let you be their guests when they use their privileges, like what we did! ;)

Canyon Woods Residential Resort - Fairview, Tagaytay Philippines

Canyon Woods - Fairview Map
Excited to see how our accommodations would be, map in hand, we navigate our car to Fairview.  Passing through the long roads and trees, finally we then arrived at this vast green field, then I finally realized it is a golf course.


Part of the golf course

This golf course greets us when we step out of our Fairview unit.  The fresh air is the most welcoming thing that envelops us during the early mornings.  A far cry from the dust and smog that greet us during early mornings in the bustling city.


Canyon Woods' Fairview
Our unit accommodation at Fairview; it is composed of several units and we stayed at one of its units.  Fairview is an apartment type of accommodation, two (2) floors high.  First floor is where the living area, dining area and kitchen with one (1) bathroom are located.  The second floor has two (2) bedrooms.  The master and the guestroom, both with their own bathrooms.  It can accommodate two (2) families but you can still cramp up one more family where they can sleep in the living area camp style, which means bringing your own foldable beds with you. =)



Canyon Woods tricycle
Before we went inside, we can't help but notice this tricycle parked just outside our unit.  This vehicle is used to transport our beddings and sheets.  Cool isn't it?  Never really thought what they use to bring all the amenities we need specially with such a huge scope of area.  Fast, convenient, efficient not to mention that it's not huge, so it's easily maneuvers around.  Quick thinking of Canyon Woods, don't you think? =)

Finally, we entered our unit.


First Floor

Living area

Upon opening the door, the living area is the first thing that will greet you.  Complete with living sofa, table and television.


Dining area and kitchen
Beside the living area is the dining area and kitchen.  The dining area and kitchen has a small table counter top that divides the two areas, where you can also put your snacks or just stand while drinking a cup of coffee.  The wooden divider serves a great purpose in separating the dining area to the bathroom.  The sliding door at the back leads to a stoned wall with cleanly mowed grass.  Also a partial photo of the stairs can be seen leading to the second floor.

Stairs going to the second floor

Second Floor

Guest room

The guest room
The guest room, a single bed with a pull out bed.  Simple but cleanly furnished.  The light white curtains adds to the simplicity of the place.  They also provide pillows and bath towels.  The windows overlooks the back's stoned walls.



Beside the bed is the closet.  Not much space, but just enough to place your essentials.  Frankly, you really don't need that much space for an overnight do you?


Guest room's dresser and bathroom
The guest room is equip with a dresser for your personal knick-knacks and a bathroom.  A stylishly modern lamp stand on the side of the dresser.


Guest room's bathroom

The guest room's bathroom is complete with a lavatory, trash can, water closet and shower.  They also provide their own complimentary Canyon Woods soap and shampoo.  The only souvenir really that you can take home.


Master bedroom

Master bedroom
Beside the guest room is the master bedroom.  A queen sized bed with pillows and bath towels for two.  It also has its own dresser, night lamp. and painting.  The light curtains covered the window which faces the vast green fields of the golf course.  A perfect view I might say.

Master bedroom's view facing the door
On the bottom of the bed is the closet.  A much bigger closet for the whole family.  Just outside the master bedroom door is the adjacent door of the guest room.


Master bedroom's bathroom
The master bedroom's bathroom also has its own lavatory, trash can, water closet and shower.  Complete with the complimentary Canyon Woods soap and shampoo.

It's really quiet like an apartment any family has in the city.  Only this provides you with the extra spectacular view of your surroundings and amenities, activities  you can choose to enjoy on your short vacation at this resort.  A relaxing way to de-stress ourselves from our hectic day to day life. =)
