Originally Peninsula de Punta Fuego, well-known as Punta Fuego, is an exclusive beach resort for the homeowners in the Beach/Subdivision. This Subdivision if I am not mistaken are mostly just vacation houses for the filthy rich. Yes you are right people who have access here are those who have a lot of extra money to spare. The houses are really big, colossal big! Punta Fuego is one of the firsts to actually offer houses beside the beach. They do not only have one beach but 4 beaches (but I am not really sure).
So how did we end up in Punta Fuego actually? We are not rich and we do not have a house there (But I wish we have one). My father's company actually has a membership in their clubhouse. So the employees have access to go there anytime they wish but they have to tell the representative of the company which is my Father's boss (The company's vice president in sales).
We went there last August 2012 and got a huge discount on the rooms (found in the clubhouse). We rented two rooms which costs originally P8,000 per night and got a 50% discount for it since it is off-peak season. But there's more, when you rent two rooms you will automatically get a third room for free. So yes we only paid P8,000 for three rooms with 6 breakfast meals.

While waiting in the reception room, we were greeted by the friendly personnel and we waited for some time for them to make sure that our rooms are squeaky clean. They gave us tamarind juice which tastes really superb! I thought that it's bitter and all but it was not. It was actually good!

When we entered our room, I was happy to see that our room was really clean. I mean even the sheets are white as the clear sky. haha. A post card which was written by the management was left in our breakfast table welcoming us.
The comfort room is very clean and handy. It has the usual free soap, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, lotion and toothpaste. But we never used it because we stick to our own products. Maybe I'll use it when I go travelling again.
The room basically has two beds good for four people, a breakfast table, flat screen television, two telephones, refrigerator, electric pot for your coffee, a veranda (with two chairs) and a very very beautiful scenery.
Since we our only 7 and we have three rooms, we slept very well. haha. The first room was occupied by Me, our Grandmother, and my sister Jelai. The second room was occupied by our uncle (Kuya Chris) and my brother (Cristian), and the last room was occupied by my parents. One room can have up to four guests.

After swimming in the pool area, we decided to hit the beach. We went to the nearest beach via the service around the place. My father in the other hand was busy playing golf with his boss.

We went back to the clubhouse since it was beginning to get dark. We went swimming again and ate dinner in the restaurant. Apparently I did not get the chance of taking a picture of our food for we were so tired from all the swimming that we did.
So yeah we slept abruptly after taking a bath! But before we do, we received a complimentary dessert from the management. It was just an ordinary sponge cake. Nothing special about that in my opinion. But if you're a person who likes sponge cakes then you would like it (I guess).

So morning cake! Our room was a mess. haha. We got up early to swim again in the pool and in the beach. We also checked out the different pools and went to the dock area where yacht are parked.
While in the beach we decided to ride the banana boat. It was my first time to ride it and I was excited. Well we were. I thought it was fun but boy was I wrong. I don't know I did not like the banana boat ride, the part where the boatman will take a sharp turn so that you would be thrown out into the water. Man! It hurts! For the person infront of you will actually hit you and it's salt water so it irritated my nose. Sorry but I am not planning to go into another banana boat ride in any of the beach around the world.

Our last stop is the beach a little bit far from our room. This beach area I think is open to those who did not stay in the Clubhouse. For I saw a lot more people here unlike in the previous beaches where 1 or 2 families are present.
This beach area has longer shore and a lot of huts for day pass guests. The pool is a lot bigger than those in the clubhouse. Basically it was more beautiful than the previous beaches but the only problem is there are more people here but tolerable.

Punta Fuego is now open to the public. There are some good deals found in Metrodeal if you wanted to go and have a fun and serene time. I would suggest that you go there during off peak season for you to truly enjoy the place.
