Invading CATTLEYA RESORT
Every year, Acierto Clan traditionally brings the whole family for an out-of-town summer escapade. We usually go to Pansol, Laguna and enjoy its hot springs but this year we preferred to go somewhere near like Antipolo.
Because of our large number, we can only afford an overnight or two-day stay to any private resort. We usually make the road trip on January to search for clean and spacious rooms that can accommodate the entire clan. Once the reservation was settled, we start the countdown
This 2012, we invade the cold waters of Cattleya Resort. Came March 31, more than 60 of us headed for the hills of Antipolo, Rizal.
Our meeting place was Jollibee-Tikling Branch to have our breakfast. We were the first customers of that morning. While waiting for our orders, we took some photos.

After eating...took more photos. "STRIKE a POSE" Never got enough of pictures here... picture there. Fun fun fun! The closeness between our families are just incomparable. Everywhere we go and whatever we do... we share moments with so much joy in our hearts

We've reached our destination at around 7:30 but we stayed outside and waited until the maintenance people had finished cleaning up the clutter left by the outgoing occupants.

| Playground with swing |
The playground was the crowds' favorite spot while trying to overcome boredom and withholding their growing anticipation of the refreshing experience awaiting inside. Just look at these two BIG men... playing like kids. Good for them, the swing were able to carry their "quite" heavy weight. QUITE heavy weight??? They could hardly move the swing.
THE PLAYGROUND

| Two-big-fellow... swinging or just sitting? |

| Adults and kids found the swings irresistible to ride |

The four sisters brought a special dish of their own and the rest of the foods were prepared by the ENRIQUEZ family. My Mom's "bopis" was so savory that it became the bestseller but I wasn't able to take a photo of it. SAYANG! :(

I enjoyed every bit of the fotos. Kakainggit ang reunion nio. sana kami din on both sides of the families. kaso un mga olds namin may mga "rifts" ayaw makinig saming mga "younger" generation na sila ay magbati bati na, ^_^
ReplyDeleteButi pakayo nakapag vacation na... kainggit
ReplyDeletewow! that was really full of fun :) everybody's face shows happiness in your outing galore
ReplyDeleteoh it looks so much fun! the best talaga pagfamily bonding.:)
ReplyDeletefun review. The pictures tell the entire story :) Summer time is really great for bonding time with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThe prices are a bit steep but seems worth it :)
Wow this is a perfect summer ever!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sheldontracy.com
ayos naman pala eh..... sana makaswimming bago mag end ng may.....
ReplyDeletevery detailed ah, hehehe. anyway, it's really great for families to have some sort of get together annually as a way of relaxing and bonding together.
ReplyDeletedropping by here marri. :-)
Wow! The rates are quite affordable, given that you're more than 60 who's staying in the resort? Have you tried Loreland's in Antipolo? We were about less than 20 people (family members).
ReplyDeleteLooks like this is a nice place. And malapit lang from Manila.
ReplyDeleteFun time with the whole clan! Funny to see even grown men enjoying the swings :D
ReplyDeleteWow an out of town family outing, fun! We rarely go out of town coz our kids are still so young and it's not easy to bring them all the time. Hope to have an activity like this soon too with my relatives, I have not attended our reunion for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice place to visit--- I love the pool as i always am--- nice post
ReplyDeleteSummer family bonding! Mukhang dun ako tatambay sa karaokehan. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI just love reunions. Masaya makiboding sa family talaga and glad your reunion turned out great. =)
ReplyDeleteOh! This must be a fun family event.
ReplyDeleteYou must have a very wonderful family.. :)
Halatang enjoy ang outing sa mga pics..:)
ReplyDeleteCool ng Bahay kubo..:)
Sa dami ng pictures na kuha mo, I'm sure sulit na sulit ang stay nio.
ReplyDeleteI felt like a stalker looking at your family pix. :)) Nice personal touch though, better than just showing brochure-worthy photos of the resort. I guess more than the facilities, the smiles of your family members would really sell this place.
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of photos and you guys seem to really had fun! :D I still haven't gone out swimming, busy kasi. But hopefully our family get to go on an outing too before summer ends.. ^^
ReplyDeletelooks like a really fun place, I laughed hard at the swing were two guys were sitting ^_^
ReplyDeletethe pools look well-designed. :)
ReplyDeletebased on the number of photos, it's really clear that you enjoyed the place with your companions. :)
cheers.

it looks like a typical resort but as long as you had fun with great company it wouldn't matter where you stay

I love big family outings! I usually plan quick getaways with 16+ family members in tow. Anyhow, for your next trip, you might want to try Loreland. It's also by Antipolo. It has a lot of pools and affordable lodgings. Ü
ReplyDeleteI like that the place has an overlooking view of nature and pool at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAng saya namang tignan ng bawat pics... halatang nag enjoy talaga lahat. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the infinity pool... Makes me want to visit a resort nearby. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and your family had fun! :D
ReplyDelete:) Erika
Lapit lang pala nito- perfect to #beatthesummerheat.Ooops with the whole family
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to travel with the whole family - magulo pero masaya! We also do that yearly during reunions pero December yung schedule namin :) I love the place you visited. Super refreshing yung mga pools :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of family reunion. Indeed, Cattleya Resort is a very nice place, we've been there last 2011. my in-laws are from Taytay.
ReplyDeletelooks decent resort for the whole family. the price won't matter compared to the enjoyment you had in the place and with the whole clan ...
ReplyDeleteIve been traveling a lot, and mostly by my own or with my travel buddy.
ReplyDeleteI missed doing activities like these were I can let go and have fun with my family...
Nowadays, time with family can be a priviledge.
the palce is also interesting, me price ranges pah..
Think I'll show your link to my team mates..
this place seems liek a perfect team building location.
You are all look have a lot of fun. I wish I could do this to my family this summer.
ReplyDeleteTheir exclusive villas are affordable huh. Great for mini gatherings for friends and family. Thanks for sharing their packages, might be handy for future events.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a good activity for a close family ties to have outings regularly and strengthen the bond of family relationship within the clan. We do also the same with out clan.
ReplyDeleteJudging from your photos i'm sure the entire clan had a great time during your reunion and Cattleya Resort was a perfect venue with all the amenities..
ReplyDeleteyou look like you had so much fun...I wish we had a large family like yours too and get to bond like this. The place looks really clean and well furnished...the last time I went to Pansol was in the 80's.
ReplyDeletetheir pool looks great... my kids would surely love it here. just perfect for the summer outings with family and friends. Yahweh bless. ralph
ReplyDeleteHi.. Pasensya na po, hindi ko kasi nabasa kung alin sa 7 pools ung nirent nyo for this reunion.
ReplyDeleteIs this dominique or corazon? Thanks in advance for the reply.
