My Pico de Loro Experience




Pico De Loro Cove is the first Hamilo Coast's development by SM Land, Inc. A 5,900 hectares where 1/3 of the total area is developable.  It is located in the province of Batangas famous to beaches and vacation destination. Particularly situated in Nasugbu, Batangas.  Pico De Loro Cove is named after the distinctive peak of Mt. Pico de Loro in its mountain horizon, which was claimed to look like a parrot's beak.  It is accessible via Tagaytay-Nasugbu route in 3-4 hours drive from Manila.  The other option is the ferry service at MOA complex to have shorter travel time.

There are wide variety of dynamic activities this place can offer.  "LUCKY US" because my beloved company ABOSTA SHIPMANAGEMENT CORPORATION chose this breathtaking place as our SUMMER 2013.  Of course with the best effort and classy choice of our Admin. Dept.  We're accomodated at Pico Sands Hotel which offers a complete lifestyle experience.  One more thing that made me so lucky,,,,  I was able to go with my family.  A luxurious summer "all expenses paid" for my family.  Wow! This is what I call "LIFE".

We just arrived in time for lunch.  And we had it at Pico Restaurant.

Exclusive for us


Our tummy was very satisfied with the lunch they served.  Our lunch came with several choices, from appetizer to desserts.  And since I'm with my family, I need to attend them first before taking photos of food.  And here are my few shots.

We stayed in a 37 square meter simple yet elegant Premier Room.  Its accommodation came with two queen-sized beds  that can fit up to four adults or two adults and two children.  The room is all ours because one office mate couple were not able to join for medical reason.  The room has 7 square meter balcony with the view of mountains and man-made saltwater lagoon.

Those buildings are the residential condominium which suggests a remarkable vacation lifestyle.  Best for rich citizen who afford to have a quick weekend get away with all-in amenities to enjoy at their own.

It is an intimate resort experience with the exclusivity and privacy of leisure club community.  Indulge yourself to the splash of swanky pools in front of the club infinity to the saltwater lagoon.
