Caylabne Resort circa 1990 |
Caylabne today.
Born and raised in Cavite, it's quite a shame to admit that this is my first time to visit Caylabne Bay Resort.
I wish I had a chance to visit Caylabne during its peak. To say that the place needs major renovation is an understatement. The rooms smell like molds, there’s not enough lights during night time, the roads need serious repair, the beach is full of trash, there's no hot water in the shower, among many others. Oh wait! My friends woke up with ants crawling in their bed. It freaked them out of course!

There's only one restaurant in Caylabne -- El Patio Restaurant. Everything is so expensive! What made it even worse? The orders took forever to arrive.
|
Beef Tapa -- Tasty and tender |
|
Kare-Kare -- a bit sweet for my taste, huge servings though |
|
Pinaputok na Tilapia |
After lunch, it's time for some photo-ops!
We wanted to go out and have dinner at Puerto Azul hoping for a better meal. I've been there when I was a kid and I can barely remember any memories of how it looks like. Since we have time and there's nothing else to do, we all agreed to check it out.
|
I can't keep my eyes off the road but I'm afraid I might see something, its nuts I know! |
An hour drive in a long and dark road after, we finally reached Puerto Azul only to learn that there's no open and decent restaurant at 7pm. Seriously?! We decided to just go back to Caylabne Resort wishing that the restaurant is still open. Thank goodness we arrived an hour before closing or else our dinner would consists of Skyflakes and a couple of Krispy Kreme donuts bought a day before.
On the table

The anchovies is too salty! |
|
Shrimp penne -- it was okay, I finished half I think |
|
Carbonara |
|
Clubhouse sandwich |
We waited for the right moment to order our free fruit shake, which was supposed to be by the beach but did not happened, only to be more disappointed. Do you still remember how you were forced to drink your cough medicine as a kid? That's how it tasted, just 10 times sweeter.

Woke up the following day and made the most out of our stay at the resort.
