Why we prefer Private Pools in Pansol

If You Enjoyed This Post Please Take 5 Seconds To Share It.

 Hot springs are perfect during the Ber months or during the rainy season. Pansol, Laguna is usually our quick getaway when we wanted to have an affordable but private place to de-stress during the cold season.

Reasons why we prefer private pools than public:

1.       The kids can swim all they want without worries of catching a cold.

Water in Pansol ranges from lukewarm to warm.

2.       Minimal supervision of our valuables.

Of course we have to be vigilant and be mindful of our things but being in a private pool allows us to all jump in the pool at the same time and enjoy without worrying about our stuff and still have a big place to swim. No one has to stay dry and watch over your things.

Everyone is here

3.       Adults can act like kids.

There’s always a kid in us.

We don’t want other people judging us right?

4.       It’s not expensive as you think

Negotiate, that’s the trick.

You won't know unless you try

5.       We can ask them to empty the water and replace them with clean, warm water.

You rented the place, your rules.

6.       Bonding is a must.

Since you sort off own the place, relaxing and bonding with your friends or family would really happen.

Here are the resorts that we have tried and tested.

Villa JC

They have 2 pools. 1 for adults and 1 kiddie, the kiddie pool is really warm. They have basketball rings where you can play around. They also have a separate place for BBQ and a kitchen. The place is really complete. I like it here because the pool is clean it may look old but you will know it’s clean, the water is really warm. The bedroom is clean with A/C and the mattress is comfortable not soft, not hard but you can sleep on it. The restrooms are clean as well. They just have to put windows on the shower rooms because it can really get steamy that you can’t breathe.

RESORT NI KARISA

My nephew celebrated his Christening/ Birthday here, the place is big. They have 3 A/C rooms at the 2nd floor, a billiard table and a restroom.  The resort has 2 pools (1 adults and 1 kiddie), a small pavilion, a small pool lounge and an area for party.

I really don’t like this place. Outside, it looks nice but as soon as I got inside the pool is dirty and gets cold quickly. They replaced the water but they didn’t clean the pool itself. The room is fine but the bed is hard it’s not comfortable. The restroom inside the room is really dirty. I had to use the one outside. There are a lot of flies in the area too so you always have to cover your food.

The care taker is an alcoholic as well. One thing that I like is they have surveillance camera.

Rates ranges from 10 - 12,000

Daniel’s Place

This is my favorite among all. It has 3 rooms; two rooms are A/C has 1 double deck, 1 queen size bed and another twin size bed. They also have a loft but you can still sleep comfortably. 1 pool with really warm water, kitchen area, dining tables outside and 2 shared restrooms which I don’t mind because they are clean.

This is just in front of Villa JC

Rates ranges from 12 - 13,000

Leberdin Manor

This resort has an elegant feel; it feels like it’s your dream house with your own pool. They have 1 pool and a Jacuzzi, with 3 big bedrooms. The water is really warm here. We celebrated Christmas of 2014 and enjoyed every bit.

Rates ranges from 10 - 12,000 (24 hours)

Sergi Ville

Slim and I haven’t been here but my family has been here many times and they always go back. This is the most affordable and the water is really warm. This is beside Daniel’s Place

*I don't the rates but I think it's less 10,000* (24 hours)

Xiana and Xandra

This is the most expensive of them all but it’s the loveliest. We celebrated Christmas 2013 here. They have 1 pool with 3 big A/C bedrooms, the pool  is clean, the place is clean but for some reason there are big flies roaming around maybe trash disposal? But I really like the place. They also have a bigger, more expensive resort called Xiana and Xandra 2.

Rates ranges from 20 - 23,000 (24 hours)
