Relaxation galore!!!

I've been eyeing Rockpoint Spa and Conference Center since last year and finally, I got there. =)

It's located in Maria Makiling Village, Pansol, Calamba. We availed the package that is inclusive of the following:

- Overnight stay at the de luxe room

- w/ set dinner (choice of breaded porkchop or sweet and sour fish)

- w/ set breakfast (american breakfast, choice of ham or chicken sausage)- Use of pool

- 1.5 hours full body detoxification massage at Kalipayan Spa

All these for the price of P2,955 net. We incurred an additional P750 for overstaying for 5 hours. We arrived there 10pm already kasi the line in the bus station is very long.

Accommodation

We stayed in the de luxe room. First impression -- WOW!!!... Spacious room, spacious CR with a corner bathtub (parang jacuzzi!!), 14-inch TV with cable, airconditioned and 2 single beds and best of all, it's near the pool. Not bad!!! I didn't get to see the other rooms though. There's one problem, the water is too hot in the shower or maybe the 'cold' part isn't working.

Food

For dinner, we had breaded porkchop... It's ok naman. The serving is generous and it tastes like the tonkatsu you'll find in tokyo tokyo. For breakfast, we tried both the chicken sausage and the ham. Both are served with a sunny side up egg and 2 slices of bread. They only serve instant coffee in sachets. =( Since we overstayed for 5 hours, we got to try their lunch. We ordered creamy chicken, fish in chili garlic sauce and tortang eggplant. Again, servings are generous and their delicious. Just like real homecooked meals.

Spa

They have this Kalipayan Spa which offers many types of services... from massage to foot spa and facials. Our package included the 1.5 hours full body detox massage. Since the spa opens at 2pm, we had ours specially scheduled at 9am. Our reflexologist is Ms. Eds. She's soooooooo good and it's really sulit because it's head to foot. I really enjoyed the scalp, back and leg massage. Because I'm happy with her service, I wasn't hessitant on giving her a tip. =)

The Pool

There are 3 pools. 2 big, 1 small and incorporated on the other big pool. Water is clean and we're kinda fortunate that there were only a few people swimming (unlike in Monte Vista where it's like 'everybody' is there). I'm proud to say that I could already go to the part of the pool where my foot can't touch the floor. Thanks to Leej, I can do the treading thing. hehehe...

I highly recommend this place. It's clean, it's accessible, facilities and services are great. Check out their website at www.pinoys.ph/rockpoint/rockpointcalamba/ and see the reviews.
