Laguna's Paradise Found: Unwind at Blu Serenity Villa!

Laguna's Paradise Found: Blu Serenity Villa - My Unfiltered Take! (Prepare for Some Tears…Maybe)

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I just emerged from a stay at Laguna's Paradise Found: Unwind at Blu Serenity Villa, and I have a LOT to unpack. Forget your polished travel blogs, folks; this is the REAL DEAL. Think messy hair, coffee-stained notes, and a whole lotta opinions. And, SEO? Yeah, we'll sprinkle that in like glitter on a grumpy cat. Let’s go!

First Impressions (and the Accessibility Angle – SO Important!)

Okay, let's get the serious stuff out of the way first. I'm not a wheelchair user, but I’m super conscious of accessibility because, frankly, it’s just the right thing to do. Blu Serenity Villa has a decent start. Listed as having Facilities for disabled guests, and an elevator, that's a BIG plus. It's not perfect, mind you. I’d recommend calling ahead and getting the nitty-gritty details if full accessibility is essential. But the exterior corridors are promising – a good start for potential wheelchair users. They also feature Air conditioning in public area so you can go out comfortably. But hey, the car park [free of charge] is a definite win for everyone!

Rooms: My Sanctuary (Almost!)

My room? Listed as Non-smoking, thankfully! Inside I found Air conditioning, which I definitely needed (hello, Laguna humidity!). The Free Wi-Fi, listed as Wi-Fi [free] and Internet access – wireless, was generally reliable. I could binge-watch my shows without too much buffering, thank goodness. The Blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in (because, vacation!). And Free bottled water? Always a win.

What REALLY impressed me? The details. They have additional toilets, perfect for sharing. They also have Bathtubs, and separate shower/bathtub, something I appreciate. You have slippers and bathrobes for a relaxed experience. Oh! Extra long bed, perfect if you are tall like me! I'm gonna be honest, the Room sanitization opt-out available is a nice touch!

The Coffee/tea maker was my best friend in the mornings, and, of course, the Mirror was important. I felt safe with the In-room safe box.

But… the Mirror was a bit too far from the Socket near the bed. First world problems, I know, but when I say I NEED my phone charging at arm's reach, I really do! And the fact that there's internet access [LAN] is great, I suppose, but who uses those anymore?

Eating, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (Mostly Positive!)

Let's talk food! The highlight? The Asian breakfast. Seriously, I could have eaten that congee every single morning. The Buffet in restaurant and breakfast [buffet] gave me enough fuel for a day of lounging. They also had Vegetarian restaurant options. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was decent, and there was a Poolside bar for sunset cocktails. The food was listed as Asian cuisine in restaurant or international cuisine in restaurant.

My ONLY real complaint? They did, on occasion, had Soup in restaurant, it would have been nice to see soup on the menu.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Pure Bliss (with a Side of Maybe Overdoing It)

This is where Blu Serenity really shines. Okay, picture this: you, lounging by the Swimming pool [outdoor], sipping something fruity, the sun kissing your skin. It's heaven. The pool is amazing! If you want more there's more: you can also visit Pool with view and even a Spa.

Now, I am a sucker for a spa day! They offer a Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage, Sauna, Steamroom, and the full shebang. Highly, highly recommend treating yourself. The staff is incredibly talented. They have a Gym/fitness, because, y'know, gotta balance out those poolside cocktails. I didn't make it, but it looked well-equipped.

Cleanliness and Safety: Pandemic-Proof (I Hope!)

Okay, let’s be real, we all need to know this stuff now. Blu Serenity seems to take things seriously. They have Daily disinfection in common areas (phew!). They also have Hand sanitizer everywhere, which is great. And the fact that they offer Rooms sanitized between stays is reassuring. Plus, they have Hygiene certification.

I also liked the Staff trained in safety protocol, and the fact they have Anti-viral cleaning products.

Services and Conveniences: A Little Bit of Everything

The 24-hour front desk is a godsend, especially if you're a night owl (like me!). And the Concierge was super helpful with arranging tours and recommendations. They have a Gift/souvenir shop, if you want to be that person. The Cash withdrawal and Currency exchange were useful too.

Family Fun (or Not, Depending on Your Preferences)

I don't have kids, but I noticed they have Babysitting service, Kids facilities, and Kids meal. So, if you’re traveling with little ones, you're covered!

The Overall Vibe: Relaxed, with a Touch of Luxury (and Maybe a Stiff Drink!)

Blu Serenity Villa is a beautiful place. It's not perfect, sure, but it's a place I would recommend.

My (Completely Subjective and Probably Overly Dramatic) Recommendation:

Go. Book it. Now. Prepare to be pampered, to relax, and to maybe, just maybe, shed a happy tear or two.

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this trip to Blu Serenity Villa in Laguna Philippines is gonna be a hot mess, and I'm here for it. (Actually, I'm already here, mildly hungover from the welcome cocktails… don't judge.)

Blu Serenity Villa Chaos: A Slightly Unhinged Itinerary (So Far)

Day 1: Arrival and Mild Panic

• 10:00 AM: Landed at NAIA. Smooth(ish) flight. Lost one perfectly good sock in the security line. The universe hates me, I swear.
• 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: The infamous Manila traffic. Seriously, it's a living, breathing beast. Managed to snag a Grab (thank GOD!) and prayed to all the traffic gods for deliverance. Currently questioning my life choices.
• 2:00 PM: ARRIVED! Blu Serenity Villa. The pictures online? HEAVEN. The reality? Still heaven, just slightly less… Instagram-perfect. A few leaves on the pool, a slightly wonky sun lounger… you know, real life. Checked in, the staff are ridiculously nice, but the initial excitement of the travel wears off.
• 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM: Unpacking. Attempting to look chic while simultaneously rummaging for my emergency chocolate stash. Success! Chocolate procured. Feeling marginally better.
• 4:00 PM: Pool time! Glorious, icy water. The sun feels divine on my skin. Swear I just saw a lizard do a backstroke. Laguna life, baby. Already regretting not bringing my inflatable flamingo.
• 6:00 PM: Dinner at the villa. This is where my "healthy eating" resolution is officially… abandoned. Amazing grilled seafood, fresh fruit, and way too much wine. Oops.
• 8:00 PM: Stargazing. The night sky out here is incredible! Just… wow. Saw a shooting star and made a wish. Hoping it was for an endless supply of chocolate and the ability to speak fluent Tagalog.

Day 2: Hiking, Regret, and Karaoke Chaos

• 7:00 AM: Woke up way too early. The birds are relentlessly cheerful. Currently debating whether to join them or crawl back into bed. Coffee, the answer is always coffee.
• 9:00 AM: HIKING! We’re supposed to hike Mount Makiling. This is where I think I might have miscalculated. Definitely not prepared for the humidity. Sweat. Everywhere. My makeup is melting off like a cheap candle. Am regretting my life choices, again.
• 11:00 AM: Reached a viewpoint. Stunning! So worth the sweat and the near-death experience. Photo op achieved. Immediately ordered an iced coffee upon our return.
• 1:00 PM: The food! More amazing food at the villa. I could get used to this. But the slightest feeling of regret is bubbling up. Like, maybe I should have paced myself on the cocktails last night.
• 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Trying to relax. Failed. Feeling a little too full. Too hot. Just generally… out of sorts. Decided to try a nap. Woke up in a grumpy mood, which, honestly, is kind of my default setting.
• 7:00 PM: Karaoke night! Which seems like a great idea… until I actually start singing. My voice is a combination of a dying cat and a rusty engine. The staff is too polite to tell me to stop. One of the other guests, a man named Ricardo, steals the show with his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. Brilliant.
• 9:00 PM: Passed out on a sun lounger. Pretty sure I snore. Probably woke up at least half the villa.

Day 3: Spa Day, More Food, and Departure (Maybe?)

• 8:00 AM: Woke up feeling oddly refreshed despite the karaoke carnage.
• 9:00 AM: SPA DAY! Oh, sweet, sweet relaxation. Massages, facials, the works. Bliss. Pure, unadulterated bliss. Almost fell asleep during the massage. Almost. Almost.
• 12:00 PM: Brunch at the villa. This place is making me fat. It’s so damn good! I'm gonna need a new wardrobe after this trip. I can already feel my jeans starting to rebel.
• 2:00 PM: Pool time. Sunbathing. Trying to resist the urge to order another cocktail. Failing slightly. The lizard is back, and it looks smug.
• 4:00 PM: Packing. Saying goodbye to this beautiful place is going to suck. I’m already planning my return.
• 6:00 PM: Farewell dinner. More food, maybe slightly less alcohol this time? Yeah, right. Willpower is not my strong suit.
• 8:00 PM: Actually leaving… I think. Or maybe I'll just stay here forever. Send chocolate and a comfy robe. This is officially my happy place.
• 9:00 PM: Transfer to Manila Airport.

(Final Note: This itinerary is subject to change based on mood swings, chocolate availability, and the whims of the weather gods. Stay tuned! Wish me luck (and send coffee).

Laguna's Paradise Found: Unwind at Blu Serenity Villa! - The Unofficial FAQ (Because Let's Be Real, I Have Opinions)

Okay, so Blu Serenity Villa… Is it *really* paradise? Like, Insta-worthy perfect?

Alright, let's be honest. No. Nothing's EVER Insta-worthy perfect, and frankly, if it *was* I'd be suspicious. Blu Serenity... it's pretty darn dreamy. Seriously, the view from the infinity pool? Jaw-dropping. But paradise? Nah. There's the occasional gecko that *really* wants to join you in the shower (true story, happened to me!), and the Wi-Fi... well, let's just say it encourages actual conversations, which can be a good thing or a *very* awkward thing, depending on who you’re traveling with. Mostly good though, the view! You might feel like you're gonna spend your life there forever!

The pool... is it as amazing as it looks in the pictures? I'm a pool snob.

Okay, pool snob, listen up. The infinity pool? It's glorious. Seriously. The water temperature is *chef's kiss*. I spent hours just floating, staring out at the lake. My biggest complaint? It was a *little* tough to drag myself out. I mean, I *did* eventually emerge, looking like a wrinkled prune, but the struggle was real. It was so good, I almost didn't care about the time it took for my skin to return to normal! Worth it. Absoultely and completely worth it.

What's the deal with the kitchen? Can you actually cook there? I like to pretend I'm a chef.

Pretend chef, I get you. The kitchen is… well-equipped. There's a stove, a fridge, all the usual suspects. But here’s the REAL truth: I’m a *terrible* cook. So, my experience involved a lot of instant noodles and questionable attempts at grilling. The villa does offer the option of a chef, and I highly recommend it. I mean, imagine, you're on vacation, a stunning view, and delicious food appears as if by magic? Yes, please. You can also stumble on your way to a local restaurant, and that's fun too. A chef just sounds like fewer dishes and a lot less shame.

How's the location? Is it far from... everything?

Here's the thing, you're in Laguna. That means you're probably not expecting Times Square. Blu Serenity is a little secluded. This is a *good* thing if you're after peace and quiet. You'll need a car or readily available transportation (tuktuks, maybe?) to get around easily. Embrace the quiet though, because there's peace and quiet, and it's the best thing.

What about the rooms? Are they comfortable? Because nothing ruins a vacation like a bad bed.

Oh, the beds. Okay, the beds are a highlight. Seriously, I *slept*. Like, properly, deeply slept. They're that soft, cloud-like, I-don't-want-to-get-out-of-bed comfortable. The whole vibe is clean, airy, and with views that will make you weep (in a good way). Honestly, the only problem was resisting the urge to nap all day. I mean, who *can* avoid a midday snooze in that setting? Nobody.

Anything I should watch out for? Like, any hidden downsides?

Alright, honesty hour again. The road getting there *might* be a challenge if you're not used to some winding, slightly bumpy roads. Not a deal-breaker, but be aware. The Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty, as I mentioned earlier, which is a first-world problem, I know, but it's worth noting. Just... embrace the disconnection. And if you're overly squeamish about harmless geckos, maybe bring a very large, judgemental friend. (For me, it’s no issue, the little guys are kinda cute).

Okay, tell me about the staff. Are they helpful/nice?

The staff are genuinely lovely. They're helpful, friendly, and they seem to genuinely *care* that you're having a good time. They're not overbearing, but they're there if you need anything. They're also super discreet, which is a plus if, like me, you sometimes prefer to wander around in your pajamas and not be judged. They are an absolute delight. And that's not something you see everyday!

Is it kid-friendly?

Mmm, depends. There's a beautiful pool, but it doesn't have a super shallow end for toddlers. I’d say, check with them directly. But for older kids? Definitely. Plenty of space to run around. But as always, supervise kids around the pool!

So, overall… would you recommend Blu Serenity Villa?

Look, I'm a cynical person by nature. I'm hard to please. But, yeah. Absolutely yes. Go. Seriously. Book it. Right now. Just be prepared for the very real possibility that you won't want to leave. Like, ever. After a week there, I almost stayed! And don't forget to bring some good books, your favorite snacks, and your best bathing suits. You WILL have a wonderful time.

What’s the one thing that REALLY sticks out in your mind? Like, the memory you can't shake?

Okay, this is going to sound ridiculously cheesy, but… the sunsets. Seriously. I have never seen sunsets like the ones at Blu Serenity. I was sitting by the pool with a cocktail (or three), and every single evening, that sky would just explode. Oranges, pinks, purples… it was like a painting. And then, the stars came out. Just… wow. I sat there, literally speechless (which is a rare occurrence, trust me), just absorbing the beauty of the view. I keep finding myself thinking of it, and now I want to go back. It was so amazing, I think I'll try working there remotely. It would be so amazing to wake up and have that view every day!
