Five of my six children (my eldest son is in Mindanao), 4 grandchildren, one nephew and one son-in-law joined with us in our one-day family outing today at Las Olas beach resort, San Enrique, Negros Occidental.
This is our usual family day activity during New Year's day. Since this year's new year falls on Sunday and we have to go to Church and attend our Sunday services on that day, so we spent it the following day, Monday. It's good that there's no classes on this day.
Las Olas beach resort is situated in a more or less 2-hectare of land along the seashore. The Swiss national, Frederick Harkness owns the Las Olas. Cottages, Nipa huts, conference hall, big canteen are avaiable for the excursionists, transient visitors for a day or two outings to free themselves of the boredom of their day-to-day jobs.
The rentals are ranging from Php600 per cottage, Php800 per nipa hut, and Php 1,500 for conference/function hall. Entrance fee: adult, Php10 and child, Php7.
We brought along our foods for our lunch and snacks. Almon, my son-in-law grilled the "gusao", a kind of a fish, which he bought from the fresh catch of the fishermen who just fished them along the seashore. It's so satisfying to eat them directly cooked from the grill, while it's still hot!
Las Olas beach resort is one of the good beaches here in Negros Occidental. It could be one of your good options to find one to have a relaxation with your family, outing with some friends, and a conference venue for your business partners and associates. Eighty to ninety persons could be accommodated in their function/conference native hall. Rooms for 3 to 4 persons are also available for transients to occupy for overnight. Water and light facilities are available. For entertainment, videoke bar is also available. There's also a canteen for short-order foods.
We've a great fun and a happy, enjoyable family reunion. We went home past five in the afternoon. All of our grandchildren were exhausted, fatigue for a whole day playing at the seashore. All their faces turned red. We've some fun at the beach once in every year as a family by tradition. And it's also our grand family reunion.
We do believe that "families could be together forever."
