The Grandiose Paradise in Bataan: Sinagtala Farm & Resort


It's my 33rd Birthday and it's a special time for me to celebrate the gift of "me" to the world!

Before my birthday came, July 17, 2015, I was thinking to celebrate my birthday in a different way, no clubbing, no partying, no dinner, and one thing came to mind, I wanna do something I never did yet, I wanna go somewhere I never see yet, a place where I belong and add an experience to my happy life!

And I found the enchanting place the "Sinagtala Farm & Resort" in the tropical rain forests of Orani, Bataan. The site is around 500 meters above sea level overlooking a breath taking view of the Bataan country side.

A very cold and serene place! The view of the mountains and the forests from this place is so breathtaking that you can spend hours and hours just staring at the surroundings. And stargazing at night is much more fun here as its altitude allows for a closer view of the stars, and that its distance from the city means that there's hardly any external lights that could hamper your view of the stars.

We leisurely walked to nearby facilities which includes a chapel, wellness spa, club house, in-house restaurant, kiddie playground, ice buco store and souvenir shop, cafe bar "Sinagtala Cafe" where we ate our dinner, the food was really good, and the infinity pool, I love infinity pools!

You have to admire their flora and fauna. Different plants and flowers blossom in the area!

Nature is so fantastic! I love the greenery of the beautiful trees!

"Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later." -Og Mandino

Fruits for the good life!

We stayed overnight. There are houses that can be rented with an amazing architecture!

I chose to stay in Room No. 10 at the romantic west wing of Duyan Bed and Breakfast with a 4 posters queen bed, I would love to have my own the very soon haha! It has its own terrace overlooking the view of the rain forests, it is very calm and quiet especially at night, only you can hear are the tweeting birds, it is like a sound of peace!

And the touring around continue! Embracing the charm!

The surreal overflowing pool assembling with the panoramic blue horizon is a visual feast you would want to have every day. I mean with all the stress and grime we encounter every now & then we deserve to have these grandiose paradise once in a while!

It was an awesome Birthday trip ever! <3 <3 <3
