Travel: Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal

"we got the showroom and a little rain,
a pretty deck view and no casino game."

Roland and I selfishly spent my 24th birthday at the Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal. From our area, it takes roughly 30-45 minutes of rural-like driving to get to this resort as our route is via the Sumulong Highway going to Antipolo. With its location not too far from the metro and its rates not too pricey, this facility is A-okay for short overnight weekend getaways.

The majority of this resort's visitors come to play at the Fiesta Casinos, which operates for full 24 hours. We've already had a chance to visit the casino last year (November 2010) when Roland's aunt invited us to see the place as they gamble. We loved the place even though we visited at night that's why we decided to come back and stay overnight so that we can enjoy completely the relaxing atmosphere at this part of Rizal's region.

I'm unsure what seemed to be an issue with our room reservation but we got to stay at the showroom. Maybe a blessing in disguise, our room was upgraded for no additional fee. Happy birthday!

My favorite feature of the resort (aside from the super comfy bed):
the pool!

Roland, I, and our hamburgers. Haha!

Midnight snack: Complimentary birthday cake from the Koi Restaurant.
Choice of 3 flavors.

What I like most about Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal is that it is lush and quiet. And even with the Fiesta Casinos as its main feature, families don't need to stress about their kids' safety. With its casino theater out of sight of the main lobby, no one would know when a concert is ongoing where the young gamblers and rich old people are at stakes.
