4-Day Birthday Celebration -- Part III (Thunderbird Resort)

We initially didn't plan on any staycation nor out of town trips so this part was actually more of a last-minute decision (which I do not regret at all). I booked an overnight stay at Thunderbird Hotel and Casino in Angono so that we can spend some well-deserved relaxation. Also, it was mostly because Zoe has been wanting to swim in a normal pool for the longest time.

I made the reservation through Asia Travel, which is my favorite online booking agency. They're very reliable (and cheaper too) based on my past experiences with them. They were able to secure a room for me in less than an hour despite the fact that the hotel was already booked at that time. Our superior room cost us Php 4800 for 2 adults and 1 child plus Php 1000 for my yaya.

I've never stayed at Thunderbird Hotel before; we've only dined and tried the casino, plus my best friend got married there in 2007. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that their rooms are BIG. The reviews were pretty accurate. We got a pool-facing room with balcony and I just loved it so much. My daughter loved it too, she kept on saying 'it's nice here' =)
