Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
La Union: Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point Day Tour w/o Entrance Fee
The location shoot venue of the popular movie "No Other Woman" starring Derek Ramsey, Anne Curtis and Christine Reyes sporting blue and white motif set on the beachfront of Poro Point, San Fernando, La Union.
Tutubi was able to briefly visit this luxurious resort with pricey rates to "inquire" and order clubhouse sandwich, green mango shake and just enjoy the view of one of the playgrounds of the rich and famous in the north.
Pictures of Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point, San Fernando, La Union:
the signature white and blue motif of Thunderbird Resorts symbolizes the colors of the sea
the spacious lobby and viewdeck with giant "sun shield"
the empty swimming pool of Thunderbird Resorts at around lunch time
clubhouse sandwich
green mango shake, anyone?
Tutubi's lunch actually was at a frugal roadside restaurant somewhere in Bauang with sinanglao and bulalo :P
Information on Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point, San Fernando, La Union:
No Entrance Fee in Thunderbird Resorts, no information though on the Thunderbird resorts day tour rate to include use of swimming pool. An order of clubhouse sandwich, 2 green mango shakes and a can of soda costs PhP750 just to give you an idea of sample menu prices. the bar is open with a 32 inch LCD TV showing an English Premiere League football match between Chelsea and Fulham FC. Not too many people around lunch, though there are people having lunch. Noone's using the swimming pool at this time of day.
WOW! medyu pricey naman talaga dyan sa TBR... kung hindi nga lang ba company outing namin (which i suggested the place) di yata ako makaka-punta dyan... the best is their bed... :)
ohh holy! The food prices is very steep! :D I always wanted to visit here. I migght just do the same next time, ill just order a smoothie tho minus the clubhouse sandwhich! :D
