Talking about FRESH ( Fresh! September 12, 2009 ) and FRESH HERBS….
My Mom never ceases to amaze me….I visited her backyard garden because she was raving about the tea we had which was fresh from her garden and I wanted to get some basil leaves from her. Wow!!! She has quite a lot growing already. Of course she has a very good gardener, named William, who takes care of them 🙂
And my friend, Alexis herb garden for Bambi in Ilo Ilo – 8 different kinds of herb seedlings are abundantly growing. I ant to see it live one day when I go to Ilo Ilo 🙂

My sister started this concept at Rustan’s Supermarket more than ten years ago. I love the concept! This set Rustan’s apart from all the other supermarkets in the country to others tried to copy
Talking about FRESH, I love this new section at the supermarket! FRESH HERBS!!

In CWC, they have an open door dining area or you can eat in the tents facing the wakeboard park
They had this table with some quick snacks – i noticed they did not have this on the Monday that we were there- maybe they set this up during weekends or when there are a lot of people. Quick orders rather than ordering from the menu and waiting
And they have the full menu. Food is very decent and quite good
Another place to eat in the complex is in the Mansion Suites. We went there for breakfast

Right beside the wakeboarding park is Lago Del Rey! It was good because my younger son did not really want to wakeboard and he enjoyed this place. Again, the place is very neat and clean! My two sons enjoyed and played with some of the kids there. But it is always fun to go with a big group of friends so the kids can play together.

All that for a very reasonable price!!

The CWC is only 5 minutes away from the airport. It is so nice! This was where the Ironman was held a week before we visited the place. Again the place is very organized and clean. Even if there were a lot of people, the place was clean! You will see staff always cleaning the place….raking the sand by the lake.
The kids really enjoyed. Though the villa was very tempting for us to stay in, have a massage, use the jacuzzi and just relax, we of course hung out in the lake and watched the kids.
Love this ad/video

WHAT A VIEW!!!

This is another accomodation nearest the CWC- it is called the tiki huts. This is the cheapest among all though bathrooms are common
There are tents by the wakeboarding area for eating and for spectators
The launching area
You need to line up and wait for your turn
It goes around one full circle…if you fall somewhere in between, you have to swim to shore and walk back which could be quite tiring carrying the board
For beginners like my 9 year old, you can do knee boarding

We chose to stay at the Villas which is accessible from the main clubhouse where you check in. Suddenly when we arrived, I just wanted to stay in the villa 🙂
I looked at the sheet of paper they gave me and the words MASSAGE SERVICE, particularly ROOM SERVICE 🙂 was the only thing that appealed to me at that moment 🙂
The Villa del Rey has its own private pool..and when we were there – there was hardly anyone in the pool- so you can imagine having the pool all to yourself!
Reminds me a bit of a Shangri-la resort…
You have your own gate/entrance to your villa
Which leads to a little patio and garden
The room
There is a side door which leads you to your own jaccuzi…..
They have a room service menu but apparently they get the food all the way from the Mansion Suites, so when it arrives it comes in styro take away bags.
We ended up eating out in the patio but did not have the proper dining amenities. I suggest that you just go out to the waterpark or go to the Mansion Suites to eat.
Also, in the room, there is a window high above the room which does not have a curtain – it brings in natural light. For those who like to sleep in the dark, make sure you bring your silk Spa Sister sleep masks ( Spa Sister Silk Sleep Mask June 8, 2009 ) 🙂

We went to CWC ( Camsur Watersports Center ) for the kids since they wanted to wakeboard! You have lots of choices of accomodation when you go to CWC. When you arrive you go to the main clubhouse which is like arriving in a beautiful resort 🙂
You check in in the desk depending on which accomodation you chose
All are walking distance to CWC but there are some that are nearer. The farthest would be the Mansion Suites, then the Villas. There are free shuttles anyway to take you there and take you back.
The others are much nearer depending on which part of the area your trailer/wood cabin/caban is located.

We wanted to look at all kinds so we could see how each one looked but had no time anymore. Though we were able to see the Mansion Suites since we had breakfast there. It is the farthest from the Wakeboarding area but I think it would be the second best in the complex.
The place is a bit old, but renovated and made to have that modern look and feel 🙂
Presidential Suites- they have 4 and are all in the same floor 
Deluxe Double Room
Executive Suite

This is the second thing my bestfriend Eds told me to do. Buy ” Nora Aunor” in the market! She actually said to just send someone to the market and have them buy it…but Mom and I went because we wanted to see for ourselves. Eds told me also to bring a tupperware to put the daing inside so that we could bring it home. It will avoid having your other things in your luggage/bag smelling like daing. Next time, I need to bring a really big tupperware so Ic an bring home more !! 🙂
WOW!! They have a section dedicated to dried fish. How organized can they be? I told you someone is behind this!
We were trying to figure out which one was Nora Aunor…and the guy heard us talking and he said this one… called “NEW LOOK.” So we got some. We tried it and it was really good!
Though Eds told me that Nora Aunor apparently is seasonal……So maybe they were offering something similar called “New look.”
