Thunderbird Resorts, Poro Point
300 km up north from Manila.. 800.78 km from Butuan here in Mindanao where i am based, that according to distancecalculator.globefeed.com... a five-hour drive from Quezon City, lies Paradise. Now this is an understatement.

My husband Jun and I are both travel enthusiasts. We travel anywhere to relax, enjoy food, and swim the best beaches in the Philippines. Last February of 2011 i came across Cebu pacific airline promo. Without having to think more, i booked and purchased for an August flight for only Php 650.00 with travel insurance and 15kg baggage allowance.. plus it's my birthday so i have to spend it elsewhere with my hubby. I have read several articles about La union having great beaches for surf buffs, great food and courteous lokals. The waves excite me. The experience aroused me. So what more exciting than to book for the best accommodation in La union..

Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point, San Fernando. Definitely world-class with grand services i can boast of, and a variety of food on their menu. With a vast sixty five hectares, a mediterranean feel with superior facilities which includes Santorini Swimming Pool, The Cliffs Golf And Beach Club, Fiesta Casino, 24-hour shuttle service, and more. Heaven on earth best describes it.

Kahuna Resort, San Juan

Beginners' Trip
San Juan a town of La Union, a short 20-min drive from San Fernando is the said to be the Surfing Capital of the north. Here in Kahuna Resorts where tourists are very much welcome by their personnel with sumptuous yet affordable meals. Surfing lessons with effective instructors are awaiting the guests ready to give out tips and pointers. One hour lesson costs only Php400.00 with surf boards free of use and guarantees you can satnd-up and ride the waves. Even rash guards are free but billabong shops are conveniently located at any resorts near the beach.
It was one great vacation we had that we will forever treasure. Thunderbird Resort was the perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and be pampered by hotel personnel. And an experience with surfing is definitely a must for travelers to this place. Kahuna Resort i can suggest to surf and bask in the sun and devour each moment on the beach. We would definitely go back!
