The Beach Series: Pico De Loro

When you hear the resort name Pico de Loro, what comes to our mind is it is expensive or exclusive only to members.

I've been doing research about this, to find out that some of the condominiums are for rent in a very affordable prices. 

My contact here is Ms. Jen 09175008077 . She immediately replies to your inquiries. 

After you settle the payment you will message her the name/s for the Authorization to use for the condo and Authorization to use for the club registration which you will bring during your stay.

1 bedroom condo costs Php 6,500. Fully furnished (there are available cookwear, untensils, refrigerator, t.v. With local and some additional channels but not much, microwave oven, pitcher, rice cooker, blankets and other stuff). Just bring your own water (the water in the condo is not potable), own food, own towels, shampoo and conditioner, soap, toothpaste and toothbrush.

I think, there are pros and cons if you rent for a condo. 

Pros

• You can cook and eat whatever you want except grilled food.

• You may stock a lot of food inside the fridge. The fridge in the condos are in normal size. 

•  You can make own juice. They have a pitcher available.  

•  You can save a lot because you may bring your own instead of buying in the convinience store or order in restaurants. 

Cons

• Fix your own mess and treat it like it's your own room/condo. Because there are no room service.

• Bring your own blanket even they have provided. 

• Bring your own bathroom essentials. 

In Pico de Loro they also have a hotel named Pico Sands. I don't know about the rates but you may book thru AGODA

But if you want affordable, rent a condo simply because it can accommodate up to 5-6 persons. If you are going to rent a hotel room it may cost Php8,000 and up but good for 2 persons only.

Let me now start with our experience.

As we entered the premises of Pico de Loro there is a lobby on the right side. You need to stop and pay for the entrance fee of Php1,200/person and also Php1,050 for the mandatory cash card per group/condo. They will also give you a car pass and claim stub of Jello shots valid on that day 9:30pm. 

You are all required to go inside the lobby because they will put a wrist band that you need to wear through out your stay. 

Give your car pass to the guard upon entering. 

The condominium in Pico de Loro has names you can easily find those because you can ask the guards and there are signs. 

I apologized, I wasn't able to take pictures of the condo. But here are some photos. 

There are 2 king size bed and a sofa. The shower and the toilet is separate. The condo owner provided a pale and a dipper maybe because they don't have bidet. 

We rest first and since we still have plenty of time to explore Pico de Loro before our dinner, here are some of my favorite photos:

Please take note that Pico de Loro is very strict. There are allocated spots where you can swim in the beach, I think the reason behind this its because they removed the rocks and sea urchins on that spots. Also, you are not allowed to go to the rocky side of the beach. Do not do what we did. The staff are very strict and they have the right to give you a penalty. The staff there told us they've given their guess on that day, on the very same day a penalty of Php2,500 because they went to the rocky part of the resort.  It is strictly prohited to avoid any injury.

You are required to wear proper swimwear if you want to transfer in the swimming pool. 

     Proper attire 

We brought a food (actually that is for our lunch but we ate in some fast food on our way to Pico de Loro, so it end up as our dinner) Barbeque, chicken and also Shanghai and re heat it. And we cooked   rice. We also made an iced tea. Rest for a little while then we head to the Beach Club to claim our free Jello shots! 

 I am very excited to try the Jello shots! You want to know what is it taste like? Mine is the orange Jello Shot, I would be very honest. It is not good, it is a flavored  Gelatin with alcohol in it. My friend said (she has the Blue Jello Shot) it taste good, maybe it depends with the flavor of the Gelatin.  

We used our Cash Card to order some cocktails (the usual cocktails in bars), mine is Long Island Iced Tea, Lani ordered Mojito Margarita, Czar ordered Piña Colada, Grace ordered Dragon Tail, and Honnah is the only one who ordered "mocktail" named Shirley Temple, because she doesn't drink anything with alcohol. You may reload your Cash Card if you want to and use it for future visit in Pico de Loro.

The next day, we cooked our breakfast (spam and rice). And we ate on the balcony. 

Then we stroll around the resort and also tried the swimming pool. 

Here are some photos. 😊

There are shuttles in the resort, those are free of charge. 

Then we ate our lunch and packed our things. I texted the helper before checking out for the turn over of the keys.

We hit the chapel! You can see the beach from up there! So relaxing and peaceful! 

I thank God for the wonderful blessings I have. And also, thank you for the wonderful world we have. 😍

Lastly, photoshoot outside the resort.

The following are emailed to me by Ms. Jen, for your guidelines and also for your information. 😊
