B O N H O M I E

I found the resort a perfect place to chill and swim all you want, low tide included. Last Friday night, I went to bbbaboy’s den to prepare for our first out of town this year. We’ve been planning for it since the previous year to satisfy the short-legged pig’s desire to swim along with the other marine species and finally, it has come to its fulfillment. By 10:00am of Saturday, we started our 4 hours travel from Davao City to Puntalinao, Mabini, Davao Oriental where the resort of our choice, Bonhomie Leisure and Resort, is located. On our way, I saw that iconic Davao Oriental landmark, only if we could ask the bus driver to stop for a selfie, but no can do.

We arrived at the resort past lunch time and the worms in my tummy have started wrestling. My first impression was far from what I expected because it was greater. I love how the place is well maintained, the peacefulness, not crowded, spacious, no videoke, those trees roofing the resort, background music to chill, and that low bench by the shore (but it’s actually a beach lounge chair googled by bbbaboy after we argued that we should call it on how they call it). 

We checked in on that wooden tower and it’s so cute it reminds me of that seven dwarf’s tree house in Snow White’s fairy tale. About swimming, the weather was fine. We checked the weather forecast ahead and we were actually expecting a thunderstorm, turned out God approved our outing He covered the sky with clouds, blocking that blinding light of the Sun. Anyways, the low tide surely makes the beachfront appear like a dried river. However, they have a bridge going to the deep part of the beach no matter what the current tide condition is. Upon getting to the end, there’s a diving board that I tried but ended up hurting my testicles due to sudden wobble that dropped me into the water unprepared! Also, a bamboo raft that takes us to the floating cottage by pulling the rope attached to it. From there we can swim all we want and be amazed by the different kinds of fish, not swimming along with us of course. There's still a considerable amount of Sunlight after we're done swimming and I know what's in bbbaboy's head, camwhoring!

 

The night came and the resort started to illuminate in beauty. The lightings perfectly set a relaxing mood for everyone. Some were playing billiard, table tennis, dart, and some were listening to live acoustic band by request. We took our dinner on the beach lounge chairs by the shore and it was perfect! Very romantic! What a night to remember!

The morning after, we had another swimming at the floating cottage. By 11:00pm we checked out and went home. What’s special about it was, I’m with the love of my life, my world, my forever, my one and only bbbaboy. I guess this is just the beginning of the many adventures we're going to have this year. Better save up! LOL!
