Magnificent MISIBIS BAY!

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

A few months ago, I blogged about this fabulous resort that was about to open! It’s called the MISIBIS BAY resort! Finally, after all these months, I was ready to try it out. After my stay… Trust me when I say that this place is going to be one of the hottest resort destinations in the country! I love the tranquility of the whole place and the fact that it is run by the Raintree group, so you can be assured of the most impeccable service.

The resort is situated in the island of Cagraray, which just a quick 30-minute boat ride out of Legaspi. The airplanes you take are the big ones, so those of you scared of tiny planes need not be be petrified! There are 5 flights a day and getting there is a breeze!

This is the super chic fast boat that took us to the island!

The accommodations are stellar! I mean the beds are just so comfortable that often you find yourself  wishing to stay longer in bed! Did I forget to mention about the food?  OMG! They kept on feeding us every 25 minutes! LOL! It was crazy! You could not say no as the food was really delectable! I mean they have the best LAING on the planet! LOL!

This was our personal butler JG HENRY!  He was super efficient!  I mean it felt like he was always there each time we need him.  He had this ready smile every time, it was so honest and he was so happy to help all of us!

 The beach sand was not as fine as Boracay but since it was just us you could really feel how luxurious it all was! We literally felt that we had the island just to ourselves!

 I was so happy that I bumped into Rusty Lopez and Larry Silva. They are fashion designers that paved the way for all of us!  They were so fun to be with!   Misibis is the kind of resort that you hardly bump into any other guests. I think it was designed that way.
