What a beautiful getaway: a Swiss chalet surrounded by a forest of pine trees with only the sounds of the birds singing their sweet songs. At night, I looked up into the starry night and was serenaded by the chirping of the crickets. Wait a minute, we're not in Europe! We're in the Philippines!!
Crosswinds has houses and condo units for sale and for rent. The condo we rented had a kitchen that was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and eat a meal. Since we were on vacation, I refused to touch anything in the kitchen: no cooking nor dish washing for me! There was a fully stocked bathroom with hot water and decent water pressure. The bed and pillows were comfy, there was a strong aircon and the room was nicely decorated. There's also a gym, pool and jacuzzi.
We arrived on a Thursday to avoid the weekend crowd. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owners of the condo then shown to our rooms. When we settled in and the day got cooler, hubby and I sat outside in the balcony and just watched the clouds roll by. We didn't see any other people there except my cousin's family, us and the staff; we had the run of the place!
For our meals we dined out. There are many different restaurants and also the Serin Ayala Mall that's nearby. Lots of tourist spots to visit as well; but we were there to relax and take it easy.
Oftentimes during vacations people try to cram in as much activity as possible with the time that they have. This leaves them exhausted and needing a vacation from their vacation. With the cool breezes, clean fresh air, and peace and quiet here: it was the most relaxing time I've had in a long while. read more
