Playa Tropical Resort:Bali Inspired Resort, Ilocos Norte

Playa Tropical Resort
Currimao, Ilocos Norte
Infinity pool and beach beyond 

      There's nothing like having the sound of the waves and the swishing of leaves to soothe your aching muscle   and tired mind. Upon setting your body on a pool chair or having a massage at one of the cabanas, you will feel like a whole new person. 
      When I first saw the place, Playa Tropical Resort, I said, oh lala. I believe this is one of those secret places. I hope by word of mouth this can be a destination place in Currimao, Ilocos Norte.


Pool and Casas

            At the background are the  4 Casas which you can rent for 6K-10K/night but the price varies depending on the season. These Casas offer complete privacy and each has its own pool and garden. 
            The swimming pool is perfect and the huts inviting! The infinity pool joins together three pools that can suit your mood. 





Cafe Amarra (Bar and Lounge)
The bar which at that lazy afternoon was quiet.




Bali inspired ambience


              I rest my case. After a long travel, we were finally able to rest. I really like the ambience of the bar. I guess at night this is a great party place where you can drink beer and play pinball, sing-along, and goof around.


Outside the Cafe Amarra

Awesome view of the pool


        

Playa Tropical Hotel

          The facade of the main hotel. These are rooms (called Casitas) which you can rent from 3800K -7K /night which varies of course depending on the season. 


gazebo and huts

         The huts that invite you to stay are standing on koi ponds. So zen... The splashing and rippling water can put you into a lull. It's sooo relaxing.

Casa

     The last time we went there on day tour the entrance and pool use was only 200Php/ person. That was 2010, and we had a discount since there were more than ten of us.
      So check it out. There will be no regrets...
