Covelandia du Labrador

Looking for a beach vacation but don't know where to go? Or on a tight budget? Think no more, Covelandia du Labrador offers you a cozy and enjoyable beach outing for less than ten grand! =)


We frequent Covelandia because of its proximity, but other than that, I would still recommend this resort for beach-goers from Bulacan and Manila (where I'm initially from) because it's cheaper than any other resorts out here yet they offer the same quality and same beach experience. 

They have hotel rooms and suites, townhouse-looking suites just across the pool area that can easily accommodate 4-10 pax in one suite, and most of their units even have kitchens! 

HOW TO GO THERE:

If you're coming from Manila, ride on a Victory Liner bus going to Alaminos, the bus will pass by the resort mismo so you'll just have to ask the conductor to drop you off at Covelandia. If you have a car naman, take NLEX to Dau, then take the SCTEX, follow the routes to Alaminos and you should drive by it.
 
WHAT I LOVE:

What I really like about their suites is that most of them have terraces that face the pool area, so I can conveniently sit there and watch my boys swim. 

They have grills if you're into barbecues, free to use of course, and beach huts facing the sea can also be rented for the day. They also have a restaurant and bar located at the ground floor of the hotel. You can actually have your meals ordered by phone and then they'll deliver it to your suite. Neat, huh?

WHAT I HATE:

I really don't like the beds that much, they're kinda creaky. Isang galaw lang, maingay na. Pano pag honeymoon n'yo? LOL =P

And then the hot and cold showers also don't work well (I don't know if it's the same with the other rooms though, I hope not). They have 4 dials for it, pero pag ginamit mo doon sa first dial which is supposed to just make the water a teeny bit warm, super init yung lalabas. If you try to spin the dial hanggang sa 4th, ganun pa rin yung temperature ng water. Weird di ba? But it was okay pa rin, considering na we came from the pool and it was really windy outside so giniginaw kami talaga, haha. 

BOTTOMLINE:

If you want to go on a beach vacay and you're on a budget, go to Covelandia. Here's the link to their website so you can see the rates and more photos of the resort.
