Nasugbu Getaway 01.31.2014

Thanks to the Chinese New Year , another long weekend gave us an opportunity for an out of town trip.
The cool climate did not prevent us to go swimming this time in Nasugbu.

We accidentally discovered Berna Beach when we were googling the location of Kainan sa Dalampasigan, a popular restaurant in Nasugbu serving filipino dishes. As we zoomed in on the location of the restaurant, we saw a nearby resort named BernaBeach. We emailed the staff and reserved a room for an overnight stay.

The resort hotel has 30 rooms, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a well guarded parking space and a nice beachfront.

Our room was clean, the bed mattress was firm but soft. It has cable TV, aircon and en suite toilet and bathroom. The bathroom has a hot and cold apparatus, a bidet, wide sinktop and it was clean, no watermarks, no soap mark. One can tell that the room is pretty much new because the cement grout is whitish and has no molds yet. Also, guests can bring in food and water.

There's a swimming pool. We can not gauge if the water is clean or not because of the dark blue tiles. Though we can glimpse that the water is not that clean because in an area of the pool that has white stone, the water looked unclear.

The resort has a gate leading to the beach. This is to prevent non-guests and sellers to enter the resort which is good security measure.

The beach has very fine greyish sand. The long shore is not rocky nor has shells and corals. One can walk barefooted without having to worry that your feet will get pricked or get cut.  The water was ice cold and rushing waves  were formed very often .  You can walk 20 meters away from the shore and still the water was just waist deep. Since it was off season, it was not crowded and we almost had the beach to ourselves.

 

I got an opportunity to ride a horse on the beach for Php50 for a 15 minute ride. My first time and I was so nervous as I might fall and break a bone. The horseman walked with horse and led the way. I think he made a lot on that day as many beachcombers rode his horse. I dont have a photo on that horse but I did take a photo of  a child rider.

Of course , a trip is not complete without a sunset shot. Unlike in Talisay where the sun sets behind the mountain, in Nasugbu, the sunset is much like Manila Bay right on the horizon. It was fantastic sight.

 It was an awesome and relaxing weekend.
