We had a chance for a staycation at Kandaya Resort. It was when travel restrictions were lifted and we completed our vaccination. Located at the northern part of Cebu, this place is ideal for anyone looking  for a short escape from the bustle of the city. It also suit to our liking since each room or villa has its own private pool. Being safe is a priority when dealing with COVID-19, and having your own pool for your family to enjoy provides that assurance.

The resort is family friendly. Every room is set far enough apart to provide privacy. 

Our room is clean and big enough for 4 people with 2 extra bed already prepared. The room has a soft neutral color palette that gives off a soothing aura.

What we enjoyed:

• Personalized welcome note from the resort;
  
  
• Private pool;
  
  
• The bathroom that appears to be straight out of a magazine is my favorite;
  
  
• The spacious game room - we were able to play billiard and table tennis;
  
  
  
• The beautiful sunset;
  
  
  
• And a restful day.
  
  
  
  
  

Thanks Kandaya Resort for a comfortable stay.

Best Buddies?

She likes green color, he likes shades of blue.

She likes to eat oranges, he likes banana.

She likes carbonara pasta, while he prefers hotdog.

She wants to be a doctor someday, while he wants to join the army,

She is afraid of death, while he is scared of ghosts.

She don't want us to get old, while he don't like us get angry from their misdeeds.

Too much distinction!

But there's one thing both of them agreed -- playing and eating during past time :)

What they have is each other, they fight a lot but in the end they always learn to forgive and let go. Sometime I learn from them too. 

Indeed, siblings are blessing!
