Introducing Birds of Paradise Resort
Previously, I shared with you how our room at the said resort looked, my husband and I both agreed it was worth booking this. So as promised, allow me to share with you how the outside looks, the entire resort can be roamed around in less than ten minutes, that's how intimate this resort is. I won't prolong this intro though so let's go and check out how the place looks.

By around four, the rain stopped and the sun rays entered the glass window, it was a beautiful view so I urged my husband that we should go out and do some walk to check the entire resort. The resort is just small though so it won't take long to explore it.
Outside the room, there's a lounge where we could also sit and relax. There are lots of plants and Chinese bamboos at the back. The resort's fence is just made of bamboo. I later found out that they don't have any neighbors at the back, it's like a jungle back there so that could be the reason why they just used bamboos instead.
When you have a toddler, it is understandable that preparing to go out takes a little while as we still have to force him to stay still so we can get his shoes on. Can you also spot that metal rod at the back? That's where we can hang our wet towels and clothes. It's nice that they have that in every room. It's very thoughtful, I have a lot of experiences where we would just hang our wet towels on the fence or anywhere because the resort didn't provide a place to hang them.
I give Birds of Paradise a double thumbs up for that!
And so after a few minutes, we were off to the garden. Can you see how thick the vegetation and foliage are in their garden? I noticed that the garden is not yet fully developed. There are plants but it is not yet arranged in a way that is pleasing to the eyes unlike that in the lounge and restaurant area.
Our room is just opposite the garden but it is also covered by this tall shrub. So if anyone passes by, we won't be that visible inside although we had opened the curtains.
I forgot to ask what kind of tree is this one next to the pathway. But I wonder how it's doing now that Typhoon Odette had visited the province. I hope it is still standing healthy and strong.
And of the pathway, there are leaf marks on each cemented path, I surely enjoy looking at the path while walking. I bet Matti felt the same way as he was looking down here in the photo below:
I guess I have to stop talking and just let you appreciate the architecture of the resort through the photos below. I am not well versed with what kind of architecture is this but it is so pleasing. I love of course the windows, the colors, the nipa accents at the rooftop and it is covered with plants and trees just makes it a beautiful one, in my opinion.
So you might ask what's the reason behind the name of the resort? I had asked the same question as well before heading here but after we explored the place, especially the second-floor area, we heard multiple birds chirping, this area is like paradise indeed and birds were just happily living here too.
Here's a view of the restaurant, the accommodation comes with free breakfast for two and we availed it the next day. I chose a Filipino meal while James ordered oats, these were asked at the customer service upon check-in.
Currently, they only offer breakfast and happy hour for guests, meals are not available the rest of the day but they can arrange food deliveries for the guests which I appreciate a lot.
Another spot in the resort that I appreciate is the presence of a lanai, I asked one of the workers here how this space is referred to but he couldn't tell as well so I'd just call it lanai. It has comfortable seats and the color suits that of the room, bare cement with a smooth finish.
That baby's face tells how hard it is to have a toddler, but don't get me wrong, it is also very fulfilling and it gives us so much happiness but we have to have unlimited patience.
After this, we decided to go check out the second floor. There's access to the second floor from both sides, we opt to use that staircase next to our room instead.
Each room has lounges outside, there are also different kinds of aesthetic plants placed on each lounge area. And here's a view of the pool and the restaurant from the second floor.
We flew the drone the next morning because it was already getting dark that time. Our plan was to have dinner at the Mist which I will blog about next time but since we are still a bit tired, we decided to take a nap again. The bed was very inviting and the temperature is just enough to soothe us to sleep.
I am sorry that this article has become very lengthy but I can't help but share with you how amazed we were as we got to experience staying at the Birds of Paradise for a very affordable price, we booked it at Php 1900. This resort is highly recommended although it is not beachfront, still, it is worth the stay!
