Bulacan Resort: DJ Paradise

DJ Paradise is a great place if you're looking for a resort where you can relax, have fun under the sun, and experience the beach without going through the trouble of traveling so many hours just to feel the sand-sea on your face. Yes, it doesn't have the sand, nor the salty smell of the wind, but it does have a wave pool for you to experience the water splashing on your back. And you don't have to worry about drowning too, because the wave pool is only around 5.5 feet deep, with bodyguards positioned on every corner of the pool. Plus, they have several floating devices you can use to better enhance your swimming experience.

Their pools also have slides for the young, the yuppies, and the total adventurers. There are 1-storey high slides, 2-storey slides, and 3-storey slides. Just pick which will give you the best experience.

Also the rates are cheap. The overnight hotel rent for a Standard air-conditioned room with 1 bathroom, 2 queen sized beds, cable television, 2 free breakfast, and 2 free use of the pool is VERY affordable. Just check out their site for the rates.

Food is great. The ambiance is perfect for relaxation, although if you're from the hotel, you'd have to walk a bit to reach the pools. The park is clean and colorful. All in all, you have to book your next trip to this place. :)

Thank you from the rose family (Gerry, Tanya, Trinity & baby Quintin). It was a beautiful experience! Thanks to all the staff for making our stay memorable. Special thanks to Karen, a gool ol’ Canadian girl eh! Only 2 comments, air conditioning in the Villa and safety rails around the side of the pool, please. Peace and love and maybe we’ll see you again.

My Trip Review - North Carolina and Ohio, USA Guests - March 2008

We are all sad to leave the Jungle Dome. We are off to the beach but all agree that we would rather stay here for a few more days. The entire staff was amazing! You made us feel special. We came with our in-laws and sister’s family. This will be a trip that we will never forget!

Thank you!

I loved it here! It’s so fun! The upstairs bed in the Villa is my favorite! I liked the horseback riding the best! The cleaning was phenomenal! The food was great! The sites were amazing! I’d like to thank David, Karen, Wanni, the cleaning crew, the staff, Luis and everyone! The Villa was very nice. Thank you.

Manila Coffee Shop: Bo's Cafe

Bo's Coffee Club is a nice coffee shop. It really is, and they serve great coffee as well. But after my experience with them a few weeks ago, I don't think I'll ever step into one of their shops deliberately on my own, not unless I don't have any choice.

You see, after drinking their Cookies 'n Cream iced drink (I forgot what it was called, equivalent of Starbucks' Frappuccino), a few bites of their Lemon Tarte and Bo's Coffee Cheesecake, I had this terrible (Note: T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E) stomachache. Ugh.

The drink was okay. The cheesecake was... well, not what you'd expect but the taste was tolerable. The Lemon Tarte? Avoid it if you can. The lime didn't match well with the sweet icing and the after-taste is something you'd rather forget.

Bo's Coffee Club has shops usually in malls like Glorietta, Robinson's Galleria, The Block. It also has kiosks in some office buildings. For more information on their store locations, please visit: http://www.boscoffeeclub.com.
