Canyon Cove Resort Batangas - Room Accommodation

Canyon Cove Resort Batangas have Superior rooms, Deluxe rooms and Suites to choose from. We got the Deluxe room fully furnished with a bathroom, flat screen television, mini refrigerator, kettle, electronic safe, bathrobes and slippers.

The deluxe room has a balcony overlooking the sea. This is anybody's chance to witness how the sky turns to dusk. A lovely sight to behold.

Canyon Cove Resort's Deluxe room

I know what's in your minds right now. Why is the bed crumpled? Right? That's really amiss in my part because the moment we opened the door our kid rushed into the room and what else was the first thing he did was to try out the bed by jumping from one bed to the other that it was too late for me to stop him. He only stopped when I shooed him down with the reason to take some pictures first before he can continue his escapade of bed-jumping. =)

Small bed beside the window

This small bed beside the window is perfect for your little ones to sleep in or just to play around on. The three walls serve as protection for them not to fall off the bed that easily. =)

Desk top, mirror, television, mini refrigerator and closet with electronic safe and bathrobes

Kettle, 2 mugs, 2 wine glasses and 2 complimentary coffee

Mini refrigerator contains 2 complimentary bottled water

Closet, bathroom and the room's door

These three (3) doors are: Left - the closet door, Middle - the bathroom door, Right - the deluxe room's door.

Closet

This is the one feature that I really don't appreciate. For one, the closet is too small and narrow for a family to put their clothes in. And secondly, the table beside it is blocking the closet door making it hard for you to fix or get your clothes. Maybe because they know most of the guests who take their vacation comes only for a day or two that it really doesn't matter. But still, I think they could have made it a little bit bigger. =)

Bathroom

Upon entering the bathroom is the lavatory. The bathroom is very spacious. It definitely made up for the smallness of the closet. The whole family can fit in the bathroom and it can save you time. Each family member can do his or her own thing at the same time.

Water closet

Upon entering the bathroom, the water closet is located on the left side (see picture above); and the shower area is located on the right side (see picture below).

Shower area

Entrance to the balcony

Balcony overlooking the sea

The balcony has this fantastic view of the sea. The sky changes from this bright hues of white, blue and purple to the darkness of dusk. It's an amazing feeling specially when you have your love ones beside you. A simple chat with a glass of champagne would be most romantic. That's why it always pays to have a positive outlook when having vacations because it would start your whole trip in a bright light that will end giving you that satisfaction of a well worth relaxing trip.

Canyon Cove Resort Batangas - A Family Vacation-Destination

We ride our cars all the way to Canyon Cove Resort Batangas. This is one of those trips that gives you absolute excitement in awaiting what's in store for you. It's like that anticipation when you have this special gift that you want to open and that day finally came for you to open it? This is exactly how it feels.

Canyon Cove Resort Batangas

Canyon Cove Resort Batangas is a beachfront resort that we city people always look for. We admit to ourselves the fact that the city in itself is very polluted already that's why almost everybody especially the kids, one way or the other has allergies or asthma. The beach is almost always a good alternative for this kind of condition. The beach in itself is very therapeutic and basically nature has its own magic that's good for our health.

So we had the chance to get a good deal in one of the group buying sites, which by the way is the popular way to get good deals nowadays; for an overnight stay here. So of course we grabbed the chance.

Canyon Cove Resort comes with it facilities and services that would fit any sport-inclined person or just any ordinary person who wants to just leisurely spend their vacation with the art of doing absolutely nothing! =)

Room accommodations comes in choices of Superior rooms, Deluxe rooms and Suites. All features quality and comfort in every detail. Resort activities includes; swimming pool with adjoining bar and kiddie pool, children's playground; game room with billiard tables, air hockey and videoke. Beach activities includes; beach volley area, water sports like kayak, snorkeling, pedal boat, skim board, jet ski, banana boat and scuba diving with lessons; also there's island hopping, sunset cruise and a lot more. All these with corresponding fees for those that needs rental of equipment and gears.

Truthfully, the swimming pool and the beach itself will occupy your time already that renting other sporting equipment will come secondary to your mind. =)

Here are some of the facilities of Canyon Cove:

Boutique and gift shop

Elevators / lifts to our rooms

Lobby restrooms

Children's Playground

Worried that you will not have enough activities for your kids? Fear not, the children's playground will occupy most of your kid's time beside the swimming pool of course. Another plus is the white sand surrounding the playground. Feeling of the sand on the feet and hands are good for the sensory feelings of your kids. =)

Swimming pool

The swimming pool of course, are for the adults and the kids. The lagoon-shaped pools gives you that paradise-feeling on a man-made pool.

Island Cafe Restaurant

Island Cafe Restaurant, this is were we ate our breakfast buffet. The buffet was really simple with fruits, pancakes, scrambled eggs, cereals, coffee... to name a few but nevertheless we had a wonderful time. I think the aura the beach offers gives you that laid back feeling of relaxation and a doze of that happiness, that everything seems to feel just perfect the way they are.

Swimming pool at night

This picturesque swimming pool is what greeted us when we decided to take a stroll along the beachfront at night. It was a romantically-lovely sight to look upon don't you think?

Wooden shed on the beachfront

The beachfront at night

It was already dark when we took off our slippers and walk along the sandy beach. The roughness of the sand has that soothing effect on our senses. And guess what, we were not the only ones who took the time to do so. We had the chance to let loose and just walk along the shoreline and soaked our feet on the salt water. Our kid was drenched in salt water and covered with sand but we didn't hear a single complain, I guess he just loved playing too much to mind that he is sticky all over with salt water and sand.

The night ended with us rejuvenated and somewhat vacation-fulfilled. I guess city life does take its toll on us and having this once-in-awhile vacations is definitely a must!

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
