If you will ask me to recommend a luxury resort in North
Luzon, Thunderbird Resort in Poro Point, La Union will definitely be on top of
my list. Nestled on a scenic cliff near the old and new Poro Point Lighthouse,
this beautifully designed resort is definitely one of the finest in the
archipelago.
I’ve been to so many beautiful resorts in the country but
not all of them are worth remembering due to unsatisfactory customer service.
For me, customer service has a huge impact on each customers overall
experience. In Thunderbird Resort Poro Point La Union, I experienced amazing
hospitality. Guest front liners are extremely helpful from the moment we
stepped into the resort till the time we checked out. I
really had a great relaxing experience.
The entire building is painted in white with several blue
colored dome that is very similar to some of the iconic buildings in Santorini
Greece. Similar to the famous beach destination in
Greece, the hotel replicates the serenity of Grecian design and architecture
but the beautiful smile from the staff and and the warm hospitality remains
very Filipino.
The resort is not only famous for its nice location and
beautiful architecture but also for its stunning sunset. Get a room with a
veranda facing the West Philippine Sea to capture one of the most beautiful
sunset in the Philippines.
Aside from their spacious rooms, each room has a beautiful
veranda that gives you a breath-taking view of the resort property and the sea.
Its a perfect place to spend your afternoon while waiting for the sunset.
Their breakfast is served at Olives Restaurant – a
restaurant located right next to the lobby. My favorite part of the restaurant
is the alfresco area where you can have a perfect view
of the sea while enjoying your breakfast. The food selection is not that huge
but I like everything they serve. From their freshly baked breads, fresh garden
salad, Filipino breakfast dishes to Chinese dim sum selections – everything
they serve are delightfully good.
