Planning a Family or Company Outing? Check out TravelBook.ph’s Blogger Getaway ft. Mountain Lake Resort!
Whenever I think about having a fun getaway that I will surely remember, I always include food, friends, fun activities and flowing beer! haha, scratch that last one if you’re a minor 🙂 everything should be planned (or not) but one thing is for sure, the memories and marshmallows shared are all going to be part of an amazing experience.

Fast forward to Day 1:
This is what you will see upon entering the Clubhouse. There’s more at the sides but my camera can only capture this. The reception is at the right side, and there are Korean Services at the left side. There’s also a gift shop where you can get your Mountain Lake memorabilia.

Our team had lunch inside a function room at the Clubhouse. It was also during that time where we introduced ourselves and got to know the people behind TravelBook.ph

After lunch, we went biking! It’s one of many activities you can enjoy for a very affordable price! They have single & tandem bikes option.
After biking, we were guided by the resort’s courteous staff to our accommodation – Amihan Cottages which is located conveniently beside all the main land and water activities.

What you’re seeing is our Amihan Cottage (if you’ll notice: the sides which are supposed to be open so the air could come in, are all closed – that is because it was raining that day, and we risk getting soaked if they aren’t.)

There’s a television and a DVD player in the cottage (placed behind the camera) so you and your friends could have movie marathons, in case it’s too hot/raining outside. The linens are clean, though there were noticeable ants here and there that bit us once or twice during our stay.
Rates for accommodation and all activities will be shown on the last page.
If you are wondering where the restroom is, it’s outside. If you will stay in Amihan Cottages, you will use a shared restroom. But don’t worry! because their restroom is HUGE with hot & cold shower and toilets with a bidet which are all maintained clean every day. If you choose to have a private restroom, you will have to check in at their Hotel at the Clubhouse, but the downside is, you’ll be far from all the main activities (you have to ride the resort shuttle).
+ ACCOMMODATION VERDICT: Comfortable, minus the ants.
Since it was raining cats and dogs the whole day, we were not able to do much, nor follow the original Itinerary up until dinner. So we spent the entire day resting (most of us had to, either no sleep because of excitement for the trip, or no sleep because they came straight from work)
Dinner Time!
Here you see me and my co-blogger friends having (super fast) dinner at the Clubhouse. The food was good and we all were stuffed for the evening!
Right after dinner, we went back to the function room to for our “Social Night”.
Basically, we teamed up and fought for scores playing Charades. It was a super fun evening full of laughs and unleashed talents in acting – lol. Everyone was cooperative and even if it was raining and cold that day, we were all sweating from continuous laughing.
Around 9pm, we went back to our cottages and prepared for a “continued social night” where we all gathered in one cottage and had fun conversations over shots of Empi Lights haha. A few hours later, it’s bedtime.
Terrific Traveller
