Have you ever had that feeling that you just HAD to get away from it all? Week after week, the stress piling up… Then one day, you KNOW you just had to get away from it all. Even for just a fleeting moment. Maybe an overnight far from the insane rituals you call life.

I rummaged the internet for places to go to within a few (or several) hours drive from us. We wanted a not-so-cheap accommodation wherein we can just relax and be pampered. We (meaning I) didn’t want our usual gung-ho backpacking expeditions.

That’s how we ended up in Pulchra Resort. (pronounced as pool-kra)

Now that I look back… we could’ve gone to more deserving places for what we paid for. The room rate at that time (year 2006) was about $200/night. That’s just with their regular room. Though the more expensive ones are cool. It’s like a villa with your own jacuzzi and a little pool. Really nice.

It’s quiet there too… I’ve only seen one couple with a baby about 8 months old. Other than them… mostly honeymooners. The food’s questionable, though. We didn’t like it very much and we really didn’t have a choice because there were no other neighboring places to eat.

Though we did get to relax because of the serenity of the resort, the food’s not exceptional (I love to eat!) and there weren’t much activities available. But if you’re just going to spend your trip indoors with your loved one (…know what I mean?) and don’t really care much about the food. This is a good resort to go to. Just for that you-and-me-inside-the-room kind of vacation.
