Mimosa's Montevista Villas

As promised, here is a brief review on my recent stay at Mimosa Leisure Park's Montevista Villas inside the Clark Freeport Zone in Angeles City, Pampanga.

entrance going to the reception hall
First feel upon entering the compound is that you are in a secluded area. Somewhere outside the Philippines. Somewhere on the rural county in the US. The big trees and the vast roads plays the major role on this impression.

The villa itself is old and you can say that it is because of its old furniture and air conditioning unit. Needless to say, they are all maintained in a perfect way that you won't be worrying of bugs or termites on your mattress; well, we just can't erase our ghost scares! The interiors are well architecturally-designed and finished. We are all in-awe upon seeing each and every room of the house. There is a surprise every time we discover something. Enough of the words, here are some of the snapshots of the villa.

By the way, we got a three-bedroom two-storey villa with 2 toilet & bath and 1 toilet. We got this for Php7,500 a night.

Even if our first night isn't over yet, my dad said "we shall return to this place and invite others!" and everyone of us agreed.

Clark Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2012

Entrance ticket
Just wanna share some of my shots when I recently witnessed this amazing festival which uncannily exists in our region. 
the day started with parachutes in the air and the Philippine flag alongside with the National Antheme

you'll get to see balloon being fill up from flat




these flames can be felt from our position

nothing compares seeing lots of huge balloons on the air, on-of-a-kind!


they come in different shapes and sizes..plus colors!



and there are some who failed to be launched :(

I suggest you go to the site before 5am, better yet by 4am, to avoid the long traffic and have parking spaces near the entrance. Also, look for you position near the fences to see these balloons up-close. Ticket costs Php200 and lines were fast even if it's long; so don't bother buying from scalpers whom will charge you over. If you have extra time, better check-in on some hotels/villas inside Clark Freeport Zone; like we did (will post one next).
