Exploring the Sweet Delight of Biko: A Kid-Friendly Recipe
Our one-night stay at Billy's Resort in Oslob, Cebu, was a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As a family of six, we were in need of some quality bonding time after attending our youngest daughter's school family day affair.
Arriving at the resort late in the afternoon, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff who quickly checked us into our spacious room. The room was perfect for our family, comfortably accommodating all six of us with room to spare. The beds were cozy, and the amenities provided were just what we needed for a comfortable stay.
One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious Filipino breakfast served at the resort's restaurant. From traditional favorites like tapsilog and longganisa to freshly baked pandesal and creamy arroz caldo, we were spoiled for choice. The flavors were authentic and satisfying, providing us with the energy we needed for a day of exploration.
The hospitality of the staff was exceptional throughout our stay. They were attentive to our needs and always ready to assist with a smile. Whether it was recommending local attractions or arranging transportation, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience.
While Billy's Resort may not have a shoreline, its exterior ambiance more than makes up for it. The resort's swimming pool offers a refreshing escape from the heat, and its direct access to the ocean allows guests to enjoy water activities like snorkeling and kayaking right on their doorstep. The lush greenery and well-manicured gardens add to the resort's charm, creating a tranquil oasis where guests can unwind and connect with nature.
Overall, our stay at Billy's Resort was everything we hoped for and more. From the delicious food to the comfortable accommodations and welcoming staff, it was the perfect retreat for our family getaway. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, already planning our next visit to this hidden gem in Oslob, Cebu.

In our case, our family came to Subic Bay for our sons' robotic competitions to attend with and a family vacation as well since we all together visited the place and it's during school break. But then, our time we're divided to go back and forth to the venue of the event, the Subic Bay Gymnasium at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and the hotel resort. We arrived Subic Bay in Zambales a day before the robotic competition event, so we had whole day to relax and get used to the place and hotel resort. We even visited the venue for the competition to check the area before the competition and stroll the nearby mall and cafes around Subic Freeport Zone. We visited the following sites during our stay at Subic Bay, Zambales. And this is how our Subic Bay experience becomes so memorable! We bring home good memories like winning the competition as 1st Placer for 22nd Philippine Robotics Olympiad 2023 in Robo Sports Category Double Tennis. The MNHS Robotics Team will represent our country as part of the Philippine Robotics National Team to compete in the World Robotics Olympiad 2023 in Panama on November 7-9, 2023.
