The best spot in the Philippines

Costa Abril Resort Montalban

On July 1 my boss gave me two weeks vacation. I was very happy that day because I could visit my family and spend 2 weeks with them. They are also excited to see me because it’s been a long time since my whole family and I are together.

What’s even better is that it’s only a 45 minutes trip from where I live to where my parents live when there’s no traffic.

On my way there, I took a Grab because I had a lot of welcome food from them, I didn’t take a motorbike because my things didn’t fit. The only thing I paid to Grab was 575 pesos.

The Costa Abril resort is a perfect vacation spot for those who want to relax and get away from crowded places. It is very close to Quezon City, so if you are tired of traveling far, this is one of the nearby resorts.

Because I have been to this resort 2 times maybe 6 years ago or more and it has not been fixed. I boasted about this resort to my family, I told them that Costa Abril resort is a good place to visit.

It’s only 10 minutes from where my parents live, another thing that makes it beautiful is that it’s close to my parents house.

The only thing we talked about going swimming was day time. The cottage we chose is the Gazebo w/ videoke near pool 15 to 20 pax because we love to sing this is one of the cottages we chose.

The entance we spent was 3,500 pesos including the children. The cottage is really close to the pool so the kids were very happy swimming.

What’s even better is that you can monitor your children while bathing. Although there are life guards guarding each pool, it is still better that you watch the children.

It was my parents’ first time to go to the resort, so when they entered, they were excited to swim. Before we swim in their different pools, we eat first because we haven’t eaten before coming here.

We brought cooked food for everyone to enjoy and no need to cook. The food we brought was simple, it was spaghetti, bread, letchong manok, Hot dog, rice, juice and water.

Note: You can drink inside the resort but you have to buy alcohol from them. You will find it in the area where you will also pay the entrance fee.

There are also grills on site within the resort. We just couldn’t try it because we didn’t bring anything to cook.

Around 3:30pm we took care of our things to organize because we were out of the resort at 4pm.

Where is Costa Abril Resort located?

The resort is close to Robinson Montalban, maybe 15 minute away. There are resorts near here that have a low entrance fee, but all they have is a pool and a very small slide that children cannot enjoy. Costa Abril Resort is the best of all you get what you pay for here.
