Splash Island, Laguna Review
written on @ 8:14 PM ?
 |
| Splash Island Entrance |
I have been to many resorts, and I love water parks! For the weekend, I headed to Splash Island in Laguna. The day started off on a bad note since drinks/food are not allowed, and your bags are checked. The food service at Splash Island was horrible. I had to wait almost an hour just to get a meal. The meals and drinks are outrageously expensive. A piece of advice, before coming to Splash Island, it's more advisable to eat at home or the near by restaurants close by the water resort.
 |
| Wall Climbing |
Even though the day started out bad, I had fun with wall climbing, zip line and the water rides. It was fun. The only downside of the water rides is that I had to wait extremely long. The queues for the rides are extremely long. I would definitely recommend everyone to come to Splash Island on weekday rather then a weekend or you will be extremely disappointed.
Pros
* Lots of activities which includes: Water rides, Zip line, Wall Climbing, Golf and paintball among others.
* If you can't afford the parking, there are tons of parking which is close by the resort.
* Entertainment from a live band. (There was a band when I was visiting Splash Island at the time)
Cons
* Food/Drinks not allowed. The food is quite expensive. A coke can cost around P35.
* Lockers are expensive. P300, and they don't hold anything responsible if an item is missing.
* Extremely long queues for the water rides and zip line.
* Food service and the restaurants are horrible. Poor service in which I had to cancel my order after an hour of waiting.
* Extremely crowded on the weekend. I prefer a weekday.
* Shower rooms are awful. It was extremely difficult to change into my board shorts (swimwear). Bathrooms are unsanitary.
* All the rides close by 4.30pm.

All about La Obra ?

| Me with Steve Terada from Amercia's Best Dance Crew Season 3 Winner's QUEST CREW |
Hi! You may call me Stuck in the Philippines because I am literally stuck in the Philippines! I'm just kidding. My name is Kristian. This is my first blog and it first started out as travel blog. But then I started involving my love for the entertainment scene mainly the movies and concerts scene. Once I started blogging, I couldn't stop.
A little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Dubai (U.A.E) until I went to Arizona (U.SA). You could say I love traveling. For the record, I am a Filipino. I just lived and studied abroad. A graduate of Southern New Hampshire University and Maine High School graduate, I feel that life has more to offer. I'm a Business Administration graduate but this is something I feel that I am passionate about. I love to breakdance but I'm not getting any younger. I like traveling but that requires a lot of cash. But I love to explore.
Since I love traveling, I first started this blog as a travel blog and I was bored. Anyway, once I arrived in the Philippines, I decided to stay for awhile and adapt to the Filipino way of life. Trust me! It wasn't easy since I had to adjust from scratch! But everything turned out well.
How I started blogging? It was when a friend suggested that I should blog. My first thought of blogging is that it was a boring job and besides what do I blog about? Voila! That's how my blogging world began and now I'm hooked! Now I mainly blog about events, news, movies, concerts and travel! A lot huh? By the way, I do make some grammar mistakes on my blog but hey nobody is perfect! =)
If you have any ideas, suggestions, please don't hesitate to drop me a line. You may contact me at kristianmarfori at gmail dot com . You may call/text preferably text me at +639166464362. Please state your name, email, contact details and inquiry.
Much love!
Kristian
