Acuatico was so beautiful not to take photos of the place!

And the pool in the middle of the resort gave this away. We fell in love with it.

Just by looking at these photos make me want to travel 3 hours just to be able to take a dip again. With the scorching heat, this is probably a great idea!

We’ve been planning to go to Acuatico for years, good thing my friend was able to reserve for 4 families. We all had a blast!

We left our house by 6:10AM. Check in time was around 1PM but we wanted to make the most out of our stay since travel time was around 3 hours. Good thing there was no traffic, we arrived Acuatico, Laiya at around 9AM. Yes! The kids were ecstatic and we checked out the beach as soon as we arrived.

Oh, this is the life!

The kids were so looking forward to it for months! Finally Sunday came and it was time for that rockstar party that they’ve been looking forward to.

The venue was beautifully setup. Everwhere you look it spells P.A.R.T.Y. They covered the venue with black cloths to make it dark. They have a very nice sound system that was used during the concert in the middle of the party. We all love the music system. I noticed that they probably have a gibson melody maker to make the sounds perfectly go together with the instruments. I haven’t seen anything like it!

Musical parties like Marti’s are the parties that my kids really look forward. Thanks to the beautiful sound system with melody maker, they have a chance to sing and dance for the rest of the party!

It’s been days since I was planning to try Ersao’s milk tea. When we passed by a branch on our way home, we grabbed the opportunity to try it. I’m glad we did! We love the wanton noodle soup, chicken and the milk tea. We will definitely go back again one of these days!
