Our 166th entry in this blog is our trip to Manuel Resort in Pinan, Zamboanga del Norte. This is our first time to visit the place. And I did not even expect to reach Zamboanga during our trip to Gooya’s hometown Plaridel. We are all excited to spend the very first day of the new year 2022 with our relatives in Mindanao. 🙂

This might have been the most colorful resort we have been. We are glad to still see their Christmas decorations and a lot more 🙂

We went here very early and it is still very cold. Very cold to start with pool swimming. So we toured the place, maybe just 1/4 of the place, since we are just visiting here for day use. Most of the areas are accessible for in house guests. Just look at all the designs and details of their decorations.

It is like walking in a compact area in Disney Land. hehe 🙂 We first ordered our lunch meal in their restaurant, then headed to our cottage, which I forgot to take a picture of, and changed in to our swimming attires.

We only planned to see the place as our target place here in Zamboanga del Norte is the Fantasy Land. But of course, we brought with us swimming suits, just in case we will be spending time here. And indeed, the moment we set foot, we decided to have our lunch and swim a little 🙂

After our quick swim in all of their pools, and a sumptuous lunch from their restaurant, we headed to another place to visit. So that was our very quick visit to Manuel Resort. We really hope to go back soon, and hoping for a different lavish theme as always 🙂
