Estrellas De Mendoza

Last May 11-12, 2012, our Company (Division) had its Offsite Communications Meeting (similar to Summer Outing) at Estrellas de Mendoza in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas.

Here are photos I captured inside our room using my Blackberry 9300:

Here are the pictures of the resort, got them from my colleagues:

the (only) main entrance at night

hallways

the cabanas and pool

pools (3feet and the 4-4.5 feet, though they appeared to be higher)
the beach is just a few steps form the pool area

Comments and critics:

• Room - cozy beds; small comfort room though and a bit narrow; lots of cabinets; I did liked the balcony and the electronic key cards plus the coffee maker and the refrigerator; though the air conditioning unit was not centralized, it can cool your room in minutes
• Pool - I don't think it's big enough to accommodate all people once all the rooms have been occupied; the big pool is too deep that some of my colleagues were afraid to go on to the middle; pool towels were provided and you may bring them on your room
• Beach - just about 20 steps shoreline (during normal tide) before the waters and the wide wasn't that far (about just 50 steps or so) but fairly good for a near beach experience outside Manila; you could go far out to the sea since it goes deep (very) gradually
• People/Staff - appreciated the guard on the beach shore, he let me leave my things with him while I was on the sea; haven't had a bad experience with any of them
• Over-all - it was a good accommodation but I don't know if I would bite to their price. Cheers!
