Kids Ultimate Summer Experience at AMBAY

May 14, 2014 by

We’ve already had our share of beach fun last April but we just couldn’t miss Ambay Beach Resort’s first ever Kids Ultimate Summer Experience – a 3-day adventure filled with fun summer activities such as kite flying, beach art, kids’ yoga, beach games, and outdoor movies. We were supposed to head to Botolan after Jade’s Trumpets Playshop class on May 2 but decided to accept an event invite from PLDT Home DSL. We left home in the wee hours of Saturday to make the most of our weekend in Ambay. Before I do away with the narrative and let these pictures tell you how much fun the kids had, I wanted to reveal a thought I had. While watching them have the time of their lives, I couldn’t help but wonder what summer activities they will want to do when they are a little older. Will they want to come on these family vacations with us, or strike out on their own? Maybe they will want to go to one of those American Summer camps we see all the time in movies and tv shows. It would be a charming experience for them. A friend told me about her children’s time away at a camp similar to this Maine summer camp and they had an amazing time. It might be a way off, but it was something to think about. Part of me wants them to stay this little forever, and part of me can’t wait to see what happens. It’s pretty exciting when you think about it, Anyway on with the pictures!

What do you get when you give kids some paint, sand, flowers, leaves, pebbles, and shells? One-of-a-kind art pieces any mom would love to have!

I never thought KIDS YOGA could be soooo entertaining. Kudos to Teacher Adie for capturing the kids’ attention and getting them to do the yoga poses. 😉

Weren’t those activities screaming FUN?! To up the fun factor, there were also beach games for the entire family to play and movie night on the beach. This was definitely a summer experience my kids and I will treasure.

Leaving you now with a few more pics!

Summer Kick Off at AMBAY!

April 14, 2014 by

Our summer vacay officially started last weekend and what better way to kick it off than with a trip to the beach. Nuj, one of the kids’ classmates, was celebrating his birthday in Ambay Beach Resort in Botolan, Zambales and we were invited. We had no plans that weekend, so off we went to Ambay.

What do you do with driftwood and trash washed away on the shore? Turn them into pieces of art, of course!

As I’ve mentioned in my previous post about Ambay, this place is for those looking for some repose from citylife. You’ll find no television, bars, or videokes here. Neither are there five-star hotel amenities. What you instead get is good ol’ sea, sand, and sun. Yep, it’s just the beach and your family. Just exactly what you need for a weekend of family bonding!

AMBAY BEACH RESORT: A Haven of Wellness, Pure Beach Fun

May 4, 2013 by

Summer’s halfway over and if you still haven’t been to the beach, now’s the time to take your entire family or your barkada for some fun in the sand.  Boracay may be the first thing that comes to mind when we hear “beach” but it can get pretty crowded during this season.  Our country has 7,107 islands and miles of beaches so there are really plenty of other choices.

AMBAY Beach Resort offers light-hearted fun that warms the soul and rejuvenates the weary city dweller.  With ukelele playing in sync with the sound of the waves beating on the shore, this place is definitely for those looking for a relaxing vacation and not for the party-going beach lover.

A Place of Serenity

The resort has a rustic appeal to it.  There’s none of those modern hotel facilities sprouting in popular beaches.  Which means there are also no blaring sounds from bars or intoxicated beach bums.  What you get instead is that homey-feel  in perfect commune with nature.  There’s vast area of sand, clear blue waters, and fresh air.  Add great company to that and you have all that it takes for a wonderful vacation at the beach.

A Haven of Wellness

Ambay Beach Resort encourages guests to join the yoga sessions held during sunrise and sunset.  Really the perfect way to start and end your day!   There’s also no need for you to worry about food as Ambay serves healthy vegetarian dishes to all guests.   Non-veg’s would actually be surprised at how good the food tastes. You won’t even realize that the sisig, barbeque, and kare-kare in the buffet table are all veggie.   Stay here for the weekend and you’d be on a good start to detoxifying your body.  Since Ambay advocates wellness and clean living, drinking and smoking are discouraged.  Guests are welcome to be intoxicated with happiness though. 🙂

Clean Beach, Clean Fun

A stay at Ambay Beach Resort is far from boring.  Its vast shoreline provides ample space for a game of ultimate frisbee or beach volleyball.  There are also surf boards, boogie boards, and skim boards for those who want to have some fun in the water.  This resort would be a perfect venue for team building activities and seminars.

For a truly different beach experience, book on a full moon weekend and join the bonfire ukelele jam.  Oh and that book that you’ve been wanting to read but have never found the time – bring it with you!
