I belong to a family who loves to spend quality time together. And aside from eating (lol), one of our favorite bonding time, especially during summer season, is to go swimming! Yay! And for this year's summer season, our first stop was in the beautiful place of Laguna.

From March 26 to 27, 2016, we chose to stay in La Vista Pansol located in Pansol, Laguna. This also served us our advance celebration for my niece who was then about to graduate from Elementary.
March 26, 2016, we arrived earlier than our supposed check-in time but the resort's staffs were able to make the necessary adjustments. Luckily also, there was still an available room. And though, initially, we were placed at the second room of the Villa, we were able to transfer at the ground floor, as agreed during our reservation. My mom won't really be able to stand going up and down as she is already having a hard time walking, much more, climbing the stairs. So, for this, we are really very thankful.
After we checked-in, we were issued these sticker tags. These served as our gate pass to the different water facilities of the resort. And then we were ushered to our assigned room.
The Room
We availed of the Casa Blanca unit which can accommodate 12 to 16 persons for only P 6,000.00. But as our number exceeded the inclusive entrance fee for 12 persons, we just paid an additional P220.00 each for the excess pax.

Aside from being newly built (just my hint since the room really looks new), the room is actually large enough to accommodate all 16 of us! It has two very large and sturdy double deck beds and a separate comfort and shower room! Definitely
sulit for the price!

bathroom and shower room
There are many kinds of rooms being offered by La Vista Pansol depending on your preferred type of accommodation. There are smaller units good for two, four or six persons. There are also rooms that accommodate a group of more than twenty. There are also kubos and treehouses available, perfect for day tour!

Water Facilities
There are many water facilities that you and your family can enjoy at La Vista Pansol.
Wet 'n Wild
Are you fond of slides? Then, you will surely enjoy the resort's Wet 'n Wild facility since La Vista Pansol boasts of its high and long slides. It will surely be a thrilling experience you wouldn't want to miss!
Bukal Wave Pool
You will surely won't miss the beach so much with the resort's wave pool! Enjoy the waves with your family and friends!

Golden Shower
And if you just wanted to take a dip in the water, or you want to simply have a swim and enjoy with your family without worrying much about the safety of your children, then the Golden shower (which is just in front of our Villa) is for you. It has a kiddie pool and a little bit much bigger pool that the whole family can enjoy!

What I really love most about the resort is the presence of their lifeguards at all times, thus, adding the feeling of security, especially since we were with a lot of kiddos during that time.
Enchanted Volcano
Although I was never able to enter this facility, my children told me that it was cold inside as it is a covered pool. From the outside, the facility looks like a cave.
Pansol at Night
Luckily, there was an activity that night that we stayed in the resort. There were bands playing at the Wet 'n Wild pool. And true to the facility's name, swimmers were surely having the greatest fun of their lives getting wet and wild while swimming and dancing to the beat of the music that the bands were playing. It surely one night of fun! Even our kids were really having a great time! They were humming, singing, dancing and swimming all at the same time! It was also during that time that I braved to experience their giant slides! What a great, fun night!

Other Resort Amenities and Facilities
Aside from swimming, there are still many other things that you can enjoy at the resort. It has different function halls and rooms. There are also a mini canteen/ store just beside the resort's Administration Office so you do not have to worry getting hungry as there are foods available for sale.
There are also available billiards tables for those wanting to past their time.
Playground
For the kids and kids-at-heart, there are also a playground where the kids can play at their heart's content!
Fish Spa & Massage
Been wanting to visit a salon for that well-deserved relaxation but doesn't have the time?! Well, your in luck as the resort also has available spa services. My husband and I tried their Fish Spa and we really enjoyed those small fishes kissing (or biting) our feet. As much as we also wanted to try their massage, we just reserved that service for some other time as I am sure that we will be going back at the resort again!
Animal Park
Also one of the resort's attraction is their Animal Park where kids can appreciate the wild life. Birds, monkeys, snakes are just some of the animals you can see at the zoo. I just hope that they add additional animals at the park soon. Entrance to the park is FREE of charge.
Extreme Sports
And if you still want to experience some more adrenaline rush, you can also try the resort's available extreme sports such as the ATV experience and the Zip Line.
Good Morning Laguna!
If there is really one thing that I love the most when we are going out of town, it is waking up to a cool morning breeze! Away from the city's hustle and bustle, all that greeted me was the fresh morning scent of the suburbs! No pollution, both air and noise, at all! If given a chance, this is really how I wanted to experience every morning. Oh, how I wish! :D
But another thing that I really enjoyed the most was the quality time we had as a family! That was really priceless! I really hope that we can do this bonding more often! Another wishful thinking there! lol

Overall, we really had a nice experience at La Vista! We even stayed a little longer from our supposed check-out time, but the resort's management no longer charged us of additional fees. So for that, thank you very much! :D
See you again next summer!
