Come'on La Union

If I haven't tried a lot of resorts, I wouldn't have appreciated Thunderbird Resorts & Casinos Poro Point. With an average overnight room prices not lower than P7,000, who wouldn't think twice and ask what is so special with this resort aside from being featured in one of the local movies.

Let me start with its Santorini themed design. Very refreshing to the eye. Since you can only find it in Greece, now you can have a taste of it here in the Philippines.

With a room that is very relaxing - comfy large bed, big flat screen tv, cool AC, complimentary fruits. Who would want to go outside?

But of course, I don't want to get comfortable inside the room all day so I decided to breath some fresh air. They have a very nice view here.  Accommodations are inclusive of buffet breakfast at Olives Restaurant. 

  You can enjoy their swimming pool while ordering drinks at the pool bar.

It was month of July when I went here. There are big waves during that time so I wasn't able to experience the beach. I can see clear blue water with some rocks and moss though from a far.

They have a very large property you can walk and explore the place. Best for bonding with loved ones.

They have team building facilities too so a company outing is encouraged.

After a long day, you can relax and dance to the music from a band in their bar just beside the reception. They also have a casino with scheduled shows. Just ask the concierge. It's a bit far so you need to take a shuttle.

Been to Thunderbird Binangonan Rizal too, aside from being near the Metro, it's no measure to Thunderbird Poro Point La Union.  They have small pool, no beach & no Santorini architectural themes.

Here's a peek:

This place is good for family & small group bonding. They also offer competitive prices for company outings with full board meals and use of team building facilities.

For one night at Poro Point I was able to experience a luxurious stay at a Mediterranean inspired resort and I definitely have no regrets. All worth it! :)
