My Second Trip to La Vista Highlands Resort: The Tale of Love.
La Vista Highlands Resort in Don Salvador Benedicto, Philippines – the land of breathtaking views, cool mountain air, and endless photo opportunities. I recently made my *second* trip to this magical place, and let me tell you, it was an adventure full of romance, ridiculousness, and a little bit of clumsiness (spoiler alert: I tripped over a rock while trying to pose like a supermodel).
First things first, this resort is stunning. It’s perched high up in the mountains, with views so beautiful they’ll make you question why you’ve spent so much time staring at your phone. (Ironically, I spent half my time there taking photos *on* my phone. Oh, the irony.) The air is so fresh that my lungs were confused at first – they’re used to city smog and questionable street food smells.
Now, let’s talk about the couple photos. Yes, this trip was a romantic getaway, and yes, I forced my partner to take approximately 1,000 pictures of us in every possible pose. There’s the classic “holding hands while walking away from the camera” shot (very Pinterest-worthy), the “pretend we’re laughing at something hilarious” shot (we were actually laughing at a mosquito attacking us), and the “staring into each other’s eyes like we’re in a rom-com” shot (which ended with us awkwardly bumping noses).
Pro tip: If you’re planning a romantic trip to La Vista Highlands, make sure your partner is patient enough to handle your inner Instagram influencer. Mine deserves a medal for enduring my constant “Wait! One more photo!” requests.
The resort itself is like stepping into a postcard. There are lush gardens, cozy cabins, and a pool that looks like it was designed for mermaids. I tried to do an elegant poolside pose for the ‘Gram, but instead, I slipped and created an accidental cannonball splash that soaked everyone nearby. Sorry to the couple who was trying to have a romantic moment – I hope you dried off eventually!
One of the highlights of the trip was the food. The resort serves up some seriously delicious Filipino dishes. I ate so much that my jeans were begging for mercy by the end of the weekend. But hey, when you’re surrounded by beauty and love, calories don’t count, right? (That’s what I’m telling myself.)
Oh, and let’s not forget about the cool mountain breeze! It was so refreshing that I momentarily considered moving to Don Salvador Benedicto and becoming a professional hammock tester. Unfortunately, reality called and reminded me that I have bills to pay.
All in all, my second trip to La Vista Highlands Resort was everything I hoped for and more. It was romantic, hilarious, and full of memories that I’ll cherish forever – including that time I tried to take a jumping photo and landed flat on my butt. (The photo turned out great though!)
If you’re looking for a getaway that’s equal parts dreamy and entertaining, this is the place to be. Just remember: pack your sense of humor, your appetite, and a partner who doesn’t mind being your personal photographer. Trust me, it’ll be worth it!
