Suhot Cold Springs

One good thing about being a wedding photographer (like me) is that I have the chance to visit various places for free. We had our recent engagement session shoot at Capiz and our client booked us in Suhot Cold Springs.

Pride of Dumalag, Capiz. This place is very famous among locals and tourist nearby. People go here during summer and enjoy the natural clean cold water of spring.

Around the resort

This is the main house, they have air-conditioned room on the second floor. I think the rate is 1200 per night good for 2 person.

One of the attraction of Suhot Cold Spring is the cave.

When in Capiz particularyly in Dumalag, Suhot Cold Spring resort is a must to visit. We’ve spent 2 nights here and I can say that it’s safe and the ambiance is very relaxing. What I think that the resort needs to improve is to have a decent restaurant. They don’t offer food by menu but you can ask them to cook for you.

How to go there:

If from Iloilo, you need to take a bus going to Roxas and ask the driver to drop you in Suhot Resort. From the main road, it’s a 5-10 min walk.

If from Roxas, take a bus going to Iloilo and ask the driver to drop you in Suhot Resort.

I have more pictures on my hardisk and I’ll try to post it here if I have the time.

My grade: Recommended

Casa Consuelo – A Discovery

After 2 nights at Pannzian Beach and Mountain Resort, we decided to try resorts somewhere near Blue Lagoon. My agenda is to take a sunset/sunrise shot of the lagoon. However, as we’re looking for a place to stay, the initial resort we have in mind “Kapuluan Vista” is fully booked that time. So we have no choice but to look for another one.

Fortunately, there was this “nice” place (at least on my first impression) that caught my attention. At first, we’re hesitant to inquire. And when we did, the air-conditioned room are fully booked and only one fan room was available.

With intense heat that day, I originally prefer a cooler room as much as possible but since we don’t have much of a choice, we decided to take a look at the available room.

 

Pannzian Beach and Mountain Resort – Gem of the North

I’ve been planning an Ilocos tour years ago. So when I got the chance few weeks ago, I never thought twice. I packed my bags and headed to the north… more often than not, when I travel, the first thing I will search on the Internet are the places to stay and where to eat. I’m very familiar with most common resorts in Pagudpud, but during my travel, I thought of staying to less known places, at least on my personal knowledge.

And then, there’s the “Pannzian Beach and Mountain Resort”. While doing research, I found out their beach do not have the typical fine white sand of Pagudpud, nor even swimming pool. But was amazed with good reviews and feedback. So the latter made me curious.

From Laoag City, it took me 3-4 hours driving. It’s already 5:30pm when we reached the resort. Fortunately, the owner was still there when we arrived. She gave us a bit history of how the resort started, how they manage it, their themes, food, and other information that made me love the place.

The lobby is the main restaurant.

My first impression was, I love the place! I love the ambiance! And supposedly, we planned for just an overnight stay. But seeing just the restaurant made me booked another night without seeing 90% of the place.
