We’ve recently been back to Pico de Loro and it was our third time to be
there. Technically, two times with kids since Mommy Khris and I were
newlyweds when we went there for the first time. Anyway, if you’ve seen some
of my recent social media posts about Pico de Loro, you’d know we went there
to celebrate my birthday. Just the same, you might be wondering why we chose
to go back to Pico de Loro when we could’ve visited a new resort.
Well, we have good reasons for coming back, and those are the following:
Pico de Loro is a family-friendly resort

It’s easy to move around when you have kids, the swimming pools are safe, and
lifeguards are stationed in the pool and beach areas.
It has a nice beach, and the waves are typically not too strong

While it’s always a must to keep an eye on children when you are near a body
of water, I feel confident that they will not get hurt when swimming because
the beach is not rocky and the waves are not too strong.

The swimming pools in Pico de Loro are really wonderful. There are shallow
areas where children can freely enjoy the water and just have fun. But again,
a word of caution not to leave your little ones unattended when swimming.
Peaceful and close to nature
I like that the surroundings of Pico de Loro are quiet; the only sounds that
you will hear are the strong wind, the rustling leaves of trees, and the sound
of insects by early evening. The sound of vehicles passing is just occasional.
I also enjoy looking at the trees and mountains outside our room.
You can walk and jog around the property
I like that Pico de Loro has trails for those who love to explore the property
on foot, or for those who want to run while enjoying the cool breeze coming
from the mountains.
It’s easy to move around because of the free shuttle service
This is another plus for me because we have little children with us, so it’s
easy to move around via the free shuttle service.

In terms of the accommodation (condo rental), there are the plus points for
me:
- Affordable
- You can cook your own food in the kitchen (honestly, I’m not a fan of the food in the in-house restaurant). By the way, we discovered a mini grocery store in Myna if you want to buy chips, condiments, canned goods, etc.
- There is free Wi-Fi all over the property
I guess another common question these days is whether Pico de Loro is
pet-friendly
I’m actually, not 100% sure, so it’s best to consult your host if you plan to
bring your fur baby with you. As for Pico Sands Hotel and the clubhouse, I
recall that they are not consistent with regard to their pet policy.
All in all, those are the reasons why we keep coming back to Pico de Loro.

My expat friend kept on raving about Pico de Loro but I've never had the chance to check it out. So near, yet so far! Hopefully one of these days, since summer is upon us after all.
