My colleagues and I decided to take a little break away from irate passengers ( hashtag airport life), but traveling for us doesn't mean we need to spend a lot for a vacation that we needed. And even though we have to deal with irate passengers most of the time, some passengers could also be an angel in disguise :) 

We decided to visit Antique because 1. one of our passengers offered that we can stay in her resort  2. one of my colleague has a friend who happens to be living in Antique and 3. the place doesn't sound to be on the list for a tourist's places to visit so why not give ourselves a little adventure in this so-called alternative to Boracay, and 4. those three sounds like we won't be spending too much.

After our shift, we flew to Kalibo and from there, a staff from the resort where we'll be staying for the night is already waiting for us. 

The Malay room has 3 single and 1 double bed where the girls stayed and the Buruanga room has 1 double bed and 1 single bed where our guy/gay friend stayed. The rooms are air-conditioned, has a television, a cabinet to place your things and own bathroom. Notice that paddle on the wall? I think every room has that as the resort's signature design. The resort has different type of rooms, deluxe, cottage, dormitory type and nipa hut.

Since its almost late at night when we arrived, we just had our dinner and decided to just explore the resort the next day.

The resort has its own restaurant where we had our breakfast. The restaurant is an open area where you can feel the cold breeze of the air and hear the sound of the ocean waves which is very refreshing and takes away all the stress.

 And then, my colleague's friend already fetch us to have a little adventure around Antique. So we checked- out of the resort and say goodbye and thanks to the staff.
