In December of 2022, my coworkers and I made the decision to spend time together—but not in school this time—in a more comfortable and laid-back setting. We are also allowed to invite family members, provided that we would pay for any extra individuals who are not covered by our contribution. To spend quality time with my family and to create treasured memories, I decided to take them to Daanbantayan, Cebu. Since they are shy and my coworkers are there, they are first hesitant to come with me. However, I reassured them that they will find it comforting and that my coworkers get along well.

Daanbantayan is one of the most well-known locations in Northern Cebu. It is highly renowned for its breathtaking beaches, an abundance of sea, and a diverse range of accommodation choices. This vacation wasn't only for fun; it was also a way for me to spend time with my coworkers and their families and to express my gratitude and love to my parents, who have supported me throughout my entire life.

This is the stunning view of Bougainvilla Resort's swimming pool.

Bougainvilla Beach Resort was our destination of choice because it was the perfect place to have fun and unwind. We arrived to be greeted by the most amazing view. There were expensive plants all around. The beach's gorgeous sand and glistening clean sea were amazing. The stunning pool at the resort was another element that added to the allure of our stay. They also have a playground that is always clean and that all children love to play on.

Even though the photo was taken at night, the expensive plants that were aligned brought beauty to the environment. The plants certainly draw attention.

The photo was taken inside the playground with my mother and daughter. Money cannot buy the smile on my little girl's face.

Another additional highlight of our stay was the accommodations at the resort. Inspired by their natural surroundings, they blended contemporary comfort with classic charm. After a full day of exciting events, we could unwind in the comfortable and cool air-conditioned accommodations.

This is the view from the rooms we occupied. I was astounded by how the rooms were converted into quaint little terraced nipa cottages. The neatly arranged and spotless plants enhanced the breathtaking sight.

Happiness and leisure characterized our stay at Bougainvilla Beach Resort. We just hung about and enjoyed each other's company for two days and one night while we were there. On the first day, we shared our lunch which was already prepared by Mrs. Alicer before we headed to the venue. The rest of the day was spent chatting with each other while the children were in the playground. For dinner, we prepared a meal consisting of seafoods and BBQ. I was not able to take photos because we got busy cooking the barbecue.

My parents' contented expressions are visible as they snap photos at various locations around the property. How I hope I could take the whole family on another vacation like this. The resort's playground was exceptionally well-kept and tidy, and the kids had a great time playing there. To make their visit even more enjoyable, they also enjoyed the pool's slides.
