Yes, I was too lucky to be able to hit the beach before I get enslaved by the corporate world again. It was another long weekend, August 21-23... I had to spend overnight at Les Caraibes and then travel to Tagaytay to meet my cousin for another night there... Phew! Talk about a stressful vacation...

But what the heck, I can do this while Im still young and energetic, right?!



Laiya was soooooo far than I expected it to be... coming from Las Pinas, its more easier to go to Puerto Galera than Laiya.. I guess the big difference is the crowd, the sea and the accomodation itself.


The crowd of Laiya ranges from families and couples.. its a place that brings intimacy.. the people are a bit high endish and its not overpopulated! In Puerto Galera, the people are noisy, drinking and going wild.. i have no problems with it.... its just that in Galera, its more like a trying hard Boracay, trying to be a Sin Island pero namaaaaan... not even close to Bora nuh..

Anyway...it was a great choice that I reserved a night in Les Caraibes, its a new beach resort in the strech of Laiya.. The Beach is sooooooooooo pretty and clean, with white sand of course........ its a bit rocky the day we went but then the next day when we went out snorkling, wala na naman masyado ung big rocks....

The accomodation is clean and very homey.. kaso, for the price of P2500 (good for 6 people), i wished there was TV man lang....


The best thing about Les Caraibes is probably the owner, Ms. Len Haddadin and Chef Philippe! Chef Philippe served the best dish I ever tasted while Im on vacation! We ate Morrocan Chicken and Tiger Prawns in Lemon Juice and Garlic (I think) and I wannna wannna come back for more!!


I also love the presentation of the meal, just like this!

Ms. Len was sooooooooooo kulit! We found her enjoying a drink at the bar that night and we spent about 2 hours chatting! She enjoyed Jed's flairtending performance and she gave him a free drink (which actually made him soooo drunk!!! This is the first time because Jed has high alcohol tolerance! ewan ko lang baket siya tinamaan sha Absinth, plus 4 more cocktails. The pulutan was on the house too! Overflowing Mojos and Mangga at Bagoong! :)


By the way, the Red Coral necklace and bracelet was from a local vendor, he was a Badjao and was selling authentic accesories.

You might ask how sure am i, he did this mini test of lighting the accesories with fire! Plated and plastic accesories could have melted but this one even glowed in redness... it was pretty. Jed bought it as a gift for me, and to help the vendor narin for their gas daw kasi.


It was a great mini-summer expe again...jed and i went snorkling (for the first time) and it made our stay enjoyable... wala man corals at least we had the chance to stay underwater longer... hehehe..

ang itim-itim ko for this overnight stay! grabeh, feeling tan ako well in fact, NEGRA talaga ako!

Les Caraibes definitely deserved the No.3 spot for the best food and beach front accomodation!
