Kandaya, Daan Bantayan, Cebu

My children gifted their parents an early Christmas present in the form of a superlative family get away vacation at Kandaya Resort, Daan Bantayan, Cebu.

Superb is the word! The view from the swimming pool to the sea is most captivating. One look and you'll think you are in a beach paradise. The entire beach resort is extremely well kept and well attended. Kandaya is beautiful and gorgeous, best in amenities and service. I do not even care or mind when later, I find out that the resort is almost entirely man made. I love the place and enjoy my vacation to the fullest. Personnel are so courteous and helpful. The hotel attendants, etc, do not have those expectant looks that crave for gratuities or constantly accounting for lost towels, hehehe. The vacation is so relaxing, indeed an idyllic resort anyone will like to go back to.

Going to Kandaya, we are fetched from our hotel in Cebu City. Inside the van, they provide us with cold bottles of water and juices, also dainty basketfuls of cookies and cakes for the long drive. We are served welcome drinks at the lobby and is met by the hotel manager upon arrival. The regular room in Kandaya is big and spacious, just like a suite. It has first class imported amenities. On the coffee table is a boat of well arranged apples and grapes to welcome our stay. On the lounge table infront of the wide screen tv, are magazines for reading. At the back of the room is a spacious veranda that sits next to a beautiful koi pond. In the late afternoon, housekeeping comes to pull down the shades and puts a jar of delicious cookies for tea. Two beach towels are provided inside the closet. Brown beach towels are rolled inside a handy twined bag, where you can also place your lotion, eyeglasses and personal items to carry. It is very convenient and nice. We eat all our meals at the hotel restaurant. The servers are extra attentive to our beckoning. The food are delicious, well prepared by a Thai chef. In three days, we almost order everything out from their menu. Hahaha. The resort is very hotel-guest friendly!!! It is quite  awesome!

Thank you Roy, Tomas, Emil, Martha and Marion for the great family vacation!!! Your papa and I love you all. God bless you always.
