EXPERIENCING CHRISTMAS ON JULY AT SAMPAGUITA GARDEN RESORT

PROLOGUE

...When the staff of Cebu Pacific announces, that our flight will be cancelled because of the weather (BAD DAW!!) and they'll book us instead to Kalibo-Manila Flight the following day,I GOT REALLY PISSED, THAT I AM TYPING IN BOLD CAPITAL LETTER NOW (hehe.. maka - arte lang). Seriously, I got really mad. My anger level is like at 100%!!! Who wouldn't be? I have a lot of job waiting in manila and another day in Kalibo would mean additional expenses on my part, etc.. etc.. and the worst thing is I can't do anything about it nor is anybody. My anger level is reduced by 50% when the staff of CebuPacific inform us that they will shoulder all the expenses such as transportation, accomodation and food.I was like, why Not? it will be another day of adventure and after all I have never been to Kalibo. 

But, wait, there's more.. 

Cebupacific gift us with a round trip airfare to any domestic destination to make it up to us.Si ate na staff, hinintay pa na magalit kami, meron pala libre eh..haha..madali naman kami kausap. Anyway, they book us at Sampaguita Garden Resort located at New Washington, Aklan.

CHRISTMAS ON JULY AT SAMPAGUITA GARDEN RESORT 

We left Caticlan for Kalibo at around 6 pm, along the way i did not see anything interesting which makes the travelling a little tiring.

I suddenly feel Christmas even if its July, the moment I saw the hotel entrance. It was nicely decorated with with christmas themes.

... and so we are pleasantly welcome by the hotel staff and check us in. after a little while we check the rest of the hotel. The hotel has a nice huge swimming pool, spa, gym, library a chapel and 2 restaurants. There is a huge doll house which will  surely brings back the little kids in everybody.

Inside, you will see a huge collection of dolls, some are for sale and different christmas decorations.

I wonder, how beautiful is the hotel during Christmas season.

We woke up early the following morning because we have early flight to manila, I take a walk for a while at the back of the hotel and I was greeted by a beautiful kalibo sunrise.
