As the summer ends, the wet season 'Habagat' arrives. It is a month when the sea is rough on the west coast of Isla Verde, and even though it is the beginning of out monsoon and typhoon season, we still have groups and couples of guests arriving from foreign countries and also from other parts of the Philippines.
Recently we had a guest from Germany, Adeline, who came here from an event set by Yellen. While she was here, she taught me my first yoga session. It was an interesting experience, and at the end I felt quite relaxed.
During Habagat there are still times when the sea is calm, and the guests often still have the chance for free diving and snorkelling and exploring the underwater coral gardens in front of our resort. If the sea is rough near the resort, often it is calm enough to snorkel just a short walk away at Mahabang Buhangin, or at Sawang Sampalukan or in Patong.
Mostly, visitors who come here are looking for a chance to get away from the stress of their daily work in the city. Because our place is quiet and peaceful, they feel relaxed and they enjoy the chance to sleep in for long hours with no traffic noise or loud clubs and street sounds. Sometimes I even have to knock on their door to wake them so they can have their meals :-)
Often, if it is raining, I see my guests outside just relaxing in the rain as they say it is so clean compared to the city. We have a small infinity pool which they also enjoy playing annd splashing in, and they often just relax there swimming and taking pictures. The sides of the infinity pool are also popular as an easy way to get in and out of the water for snorkelling to the coral gardens.
Even in Habagat, it is not boring at the resort. No matter how bad the weather is, the guests find things to do. Often they like to play indoor games including card games like Uno, Tong its, Pusoy and Crazy Ace. We also have Scrabble and Chess. Often I sit happily listening to them teasing and cheating each other.
At night if the rain has stopped, we still set a bonfire for the guests so they can enjoy their bonding, sharing a few bottles of drinks and some finger foods.
