One of the things that I noticed about Region 1 is the lack of boost when it comes to Tourism. Being a resident of Dagupan City, Pangasinan for more than twenty years, I am more than happy when I heard that a five-star resort is being developed in Poro Point, San Fernando, La Union and yep, it’s Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point!
I'm ready to stay here for 3D/2N in the Santorini-inspired Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point.
Together travel bloggers and writers, I was able to experience how it feels like to stay in Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point for 3 Days and 2 Nights. Finally, a world-class resort in Ilocos Region!
San Fernando, La Union is just an hour and a half away from Dagupan City (at least 5-6 hours from Manila). From Manila, the group took a flight to San Fernando, La Union via ZestAir. The trip was 45 minutes long and it was my first time to see the airport there.

After a few minutes, we were finally redirected to Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point. The view from afar really made me excited 😛 We first ate our late lunch/merienda. Let’s just say that the meal is more than enough to feed a hungry traveler. I really loved the soup and yes, the main course!
Oooohhh delicious!
Sophisticated Dining Experience with fellow bloggers and writers
After eating, we went straight to our respective rooms. My room mate is Ruby and we took pictures of our lovely and spacious room when we got in:

Night Shot of Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point
We ate our late dinner at around 9PM. While waiting, I used their wifi to surf online. I am happy that their wifi connection is free and fast. Other hotels (even the expensive ones) still charge their customers for wifi usage. I’m glad Thunderbird Resorts is an exemption.
Here’s a sneak peak to what we ate for dinner:
The Soup

The Main Course
and the Desserts!
I guess the pictures can explain on why my tummy’s full that night 😛 I was able to chat with the rest and we went back to our assigned rooms after an hour. I blogged a bit and went straight to bed to sleep. The very comfortable bed and linens were like calling me to sleep and relax. Oh my, i really love this feeling! It’s like spending a night in Santorini, Greece not to work but just to relax and take a piece of haven.
I recharged for a fun-filled Tuesday. Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point initiated a city tour, surfing lessons and the media launch of The Point Residences.
More to come in my next entry 😛

Great pics mica! the place looks pretty cool

Thanks everyone! Let’s all go soon 😛
Thunderbird is such a good place. The 2nd thunderbird resort in the Philippines and one that I am dying to see because of the resemblance to Santorini—-pinanuod ko kaya yung Kc-Richard movie coz I really like the idea of the whole Santorini thing—-.
..and good thing Thunderbird has this to offer in the Philippines. And they really have good foos. kung tatagal ka dyan ng 1 week tataba ka talaga kasi walang ginawa kundi relax and kain and kain and relax.hehehe
Grabe ang ganda lang. Sana makapunta rin ako dyan once. Mas naaakit ako sa food eh. T_T
hello Mica!
napa-wow ako sa Lumix shots mo (and of course sa poro), very sharp and vivid. uhm ano size nyan 3×5? ang slim. wide angled ba ang lumix?
re thunderbird rizal – di ko masyaong type yungb ed nila. for some reasons parang di sya ganun ka-comportable.. masakit sa likod =)
@-Pusang Kalye – Tama hehe nakakarelax talaga ang Thunderbird Poro Point. Gaganahan kang magpahinga 😛
@Robbie – Nakakatakam ang food, ‘noh? Tsarap nyan 😛
@Chyng – Hehe thanks 🙂 Yup, wide angled sya. Medyo mataas bed ng Thunderbird noh hehe pero i love the comforter and the unan. Sarap humilata forever 😀
hehe choosy pa ko no? libre na nga. napaisip ako, probably yung unan yung di ko type.
anyway, go travel sagada alone! =)
add kita sa blogroll ko pag nacompile ko na ulit (as of the moment nawala bigla!)
