My Balesin Trip Overview

Why is Balesin the best luxury resort in the Philippines?

1. This is for members only. Guests can go if a member vouches for you (Special thanks to Anya Steve and Arcee). This will assure you that the island won't be congested even if you come during peak season.

2. Other luxury resorts will cost you P20,000 - P30,000 per night excluding airfare. I was able to go here (with the member's blessing of course) for P25,000 including airfare and a 3d2n 5-star accommodation. All rooms have its own veranda, daybed, couch, king bed, spacious bathroom, bedroom slippers, rubber slippers (they even ask for your size), unlimited CBTL coffee and tea. Other rooms have jacuzzi as well.

3. Balesin is not just one great place. It is going to 7 great places at a time. All villages has the best to offer. There is 1 more additional village (Balesin Royal Villa) that is targeted to be developed by September 2014. When you get to this place, you also get to choose the village you want to stay in.

4. As a frequent traveler, I get used to checking-in an hour prior to check-in and travelling for hours before reaching my destination. The travel here only takes 21 minutes via chartered plane.

5. Food here is not pricey like what I expected. They give value to your money.

I was already looking forward to going back even if I was still there! Browse through my pictures to see the island, though I assure you the island looks much better in person.

Trust me going here is worth it. We all deserve to be pampered. Splurging once in a while won't hurt. :)
