"Puzzle Mansion, Tagaytay City - Pico de Loro Cove at Hamilo Coast, Nasugbu, Batangas - Lucban, Quezon - Pagsanjan, Laguna" Series
Pico de Loro Cove at Hamilo Coast
The orangy road kept me entertained all throughout the trip. And the many familiar resorts (Canyon Cove, Tali Beach) made me reminiscent of offsites from years back!
Finally few minutes before noon and we reached the Myna cluster of the Pico de Loro at Hamilo Coast in Nasugbu, Batangas. (So hungry by now to take pix of Chimmy :()
The unit was huge and very nice :) No pix though to respect the unit's owner privacy :)
After consuming our packed lunch :) we headed to the Country Club for registration so we can use the amenities as member's guests.
Both of us were caught off guard that today's still peak season. We were expecting to pay only P500.00 each.
The cash card pre-loaded with P1,000.00.
Now we can swim :)
Infinity pool
We didn't swim yet but decided to visit the Beach Club first to check for ourseves if we'd love the sands or the chlorine :)
We asked the tram driver if there are other places to visit other than the beach club. He brought us to the Chapel.
St. Therese of the Child Jesus Chapel -

| "Designed by renowned architect Carlos Arnaiz, the St. Therese of the Child Jesus Chapel is perched on a hill overlooking the coast and offers a stunning view of Pico de Loro Cove. Catholic Mass is celebrated at the Chapel every Sunday at 11:00 a.m" - http://www.picodeloroclub.com/pico-de-loro-cove/chapel |
Welcomed by the sunset -
Yellow alert that day -
A lot of beach-bummers despite it being a Thursday -
There's also a pool by the beach.
We decided to do the laps at the Country Club's Infinity pool :)
The country club was already closed when dinner time came. So we headed to the nearby Pico Sands Hotel (walking distance from the Country Club) only to be told they do not honor the cash card.
No choice so we headed back to the beach club to take our dinner at the Sun Coral Cafe.
Prices are more reasonable compared to Pico Sands Hotel. No reason not to zero out our cash card:)
Our dinner - Chicken Pork Adobo (CPA) with kangkong and boiled egg. Good to Share @ P330.00!
Dessert - Ube Langka Turon @ P90.00.
It's dark when we finished eating. Time to go back to our condo and have my birthday toast! Yay!!!
