Weekend at Anya Resort

For our department's summer outing, my family and I chose to go to Anya Resort in Tagaytay. It was raining the entire weekend due to typhoon Domeng but this didn't hinder the kids from enjoying our stay.

Ready and rearing to go!

We left the house really early to avoid the long-weekend traffic. I think most people were discouraged to go out of town due to the inclement weather, which was good for us. We passed by Good Shepherd to eat light lunch before proceeding to Anya. We arrived at the resort around 11am I think. We waited for a few minutes for our villa to be ready.

The hotel staff bang that gong when new guests arrive

The view from our room

Nina's first order of business when we settled in our room was attack the complimentary fruit plate. As in! I didn't even notice that there was a fruit plate at our room. She just pointed to it, and asked for the banana. She immediately ate two. And then attacked the apple next. She kept on returning the apple every time we get back to our room ahahaha!

First order of business for Nina: attack the complimentary fruit plate ahehehe

Ate relaxing at our veranda...look at the two monkeys in the background. Nina later ate both bananas hahaha! 

Since it was raining the whole afternoon, I told the kids they can't go swimming in the pool. Good thing our villa had a bath tub. They were more than happy to go into the bubble bath.

We took a nap after the kids washed up and then went to the poolside for the resort's pizza making session.

The pizza in front of Javi is not his, the one on his right side is his pizza hehe

While Ate and Kuya are making pizza, bunso was kept busy watching the pool beside us. It was raining anyway, so she couldn't really roam around. We went back to our room after they finished their pizzas. Rambulan lang sila dun.

My inlaws came with us and stayed at a separate villa. Unfortunately, my father-in-law got sick while we were there so they weren't able to come with us for dinner. We left Nina behind with my mother-in-law to entertain her hehehe.

We had pizza again for dinner! 

For dinner, we were supposed to eat at Amoroma but when we got there the place was closed (I don't know if we got there early or it was closed for good). So we went to Buon Giorno instead and then took home food for my inlaws and Nina.

It was so foggy when the rain stopped

When we got to the resort the kids and I waited for the film showing, while Joma took the food to my inlaws. While waiting for the movie, we stayed at the lobby and library.

At the faux fire place of the lobby

They have a nice looking library but they don't have children's books

Ate showing Javi how to use the chess board

The movie already started when we got to the film showing. Unfortunately, Miya didn't like the movie so we left early. Javi said, "Okay Ate, finish lang natin popcorn ha" Nyahahaha!

We passed by my inlaws villa to pickup Nina and Daddy and then we went home to our own villa.

It's so nice to stay outside our villa the next morning. Unfortunately, it still rained.

After breakfast, Ate and Javi had another bubble bath and then it was time to go home.

Unfortunately, because of the heavy rains the night before our village got flooded. Our car couldn't pass through the streets going through our house. We had to leave the car by the village gate and wade through flood to get home. Ah the realities of life, not everything is peachy hehe. But all in all, it was still a great weekend!
