Blu Sands Beach Resort Experience

Me and my Husband Karl had this huge argument so to ease up the tension, i decided to just walk away for a little while to calm myself. When things started to get better, my husband called me and said "You know what? Lets go somewhere far from here. Lets do the things we used to do back when we were still dating" oh diba? sweet! So i said "Sure! Maybe that's what we really need right now. A short break from life!"

Then that's it, we went to Blu Sands Beach Resort right away since i heard so many good reviews about the resort from friends. It is located at Tubigan, Initao, Misamis Oriental. It is around 45mins to 1 hour drive from Iligan City. Yes, i know it is a bit far but we dont mind it at all.



We arrived at Blu Sands at exactly 8:30 PM last April 3, 2016. We were welcomed by their friendly receptionist and asked us about the room the we will avail for check-in.


Here are the Room Rates and the Cottage Rates:

We chose the Deluxe room for 1,800 pesos with free Breakfast meals for an overnight stay. They said that Blu Sands Beach Resort is a little bit pricey so i wasn't surprised when they told me about their price rates for accommodation. 

Here are the pictures from the Deluxe room where we stayed:








Pros:
I like how clean and cozy the room is. The room that we stayed in was a bit bigger from what i have expected. The view from the window is so relaxing, You can watch the pool and the beach by just looking at our room's window. The air conditioner is working great as well as the TV. I was not able to take pictures of their comfort room but i guarantee you all that its clean. 

Cons:
Their were no complementary drinks that was given though so we have to buy drinks from their store. Their was no wifi connection as well so if you're that person who just cant stay away from social media for a little while, a pocket wifi or  mobile data is a must have. :) 

I was so excited to try their swimming pool after we settled in but we were told that the pool was not available because they have started treating the water. So we just explored the place and went out to the beach to relax. 





In the morning we woke up early to enjoy the sunrise and the beach. The place looks so beautiful in the evening but you'll appreciate it more during the day. 















After our early stroll around the resort, We went to their small resto to claim our free breakfast meal. As i entered, i was again pleased with its cleanliness and their friendly staffs. 

They have a variety of food to choose from. I chose PorkSilog with iced tea and Karl ordered Bacon with bread and egg plus a hot coffee. The view from the resto's window was mesmerizing. 




We then tried the Resort's Pool after having a sumptuous breakfast since we only have few more hours before we check out. I was all giddy and excited! I love the water! 

  



Their pool was clean albeit the smell of the chlorine that was used to treat the pool the night before. We had fun swimming and just chit chatting about anything under the sun. There are still a lot of beach activities to choose from but due to our limited time, we were not able to try it. 

With a heavy heart, we checked out around 11:30 AM, April 4, 2016. </3 T.T

I jokingly asked my husband if we can stay a little bit longer but with all the work and stuff, we obviously cant. hehehe But it was indeed a great experience. Blu Sands Beach Resort did not disappoint. Hoping to come back here and stay for little longer.
