APX flight to Legazpi, moved from 8am to 1pm. Shet!
Just 2 days prior our trip, we got a notice from Airphil informing that our flight schedule is moved. Kakainis. Though we have the option to move our flight to another weekend, hotel bookings are already made. Well, the time schedule doesn't really matter as we didn't have any activity in mind. Hehe Walang nasirang itinerary dahil wala naman talaga kaming itinerary at all! ^_^
What we only had in mind was to celebrate in the luxurious resort of Misibis Bay... Save your "wow's" but nope we didn't splurge and throw our hard earned money in that place. We chose to make a daytour instead. Since Misibis Bay prioritizes the check in guests of their sister hotels - we chose to spend our 1st night in Hotel Venezia.
free airport transfers for Hotel Venezia guests
Hotel Venezia is actually a 5-10mins drive from Legazpi airport. It's actually located inside a subdivision, weird eh?
Hotel Venezia facade
The Junior Suite for 3 persons (with 3 breakfasts) costs P5,100. It's Rem's treat, yey! This room originally costs P6,600, btw. I dont know how he managed to get that discounted rate.
checking in was a breeze
dining area
The place is quite new. The interior is elegant. There's not much guests when we arrived. All the staff's attention was given to us. After a few minutes, we're given our keycard. We're ready to see the room.

Look what we have outside our window..
hello majestic Mayon!
Using Trixie, a Sony TX10, here's a panoramic shot of the room:
ansaya pala ng panoramic feature
our camera bags are Halo - Halo ^_^
After camwhoring in the room, we decided to have an early dinner in a nearby restaurant. The receptionist recommended Small Talk Cafe which is only a 10-min drive from the hotel. We hired a tricycle for P40. Ang mura.
Small Talk Cafe
The place is just enough for a couple of diners. Ambiance is very homey. The prices are very reasonable that's why we ordered their best sellers...shots from Trixie (a sony tx10)
Boneless Crispy Pata
Pinangat (Laing)
Chicken Adobo with Gata
Chicken Satay with Peanut Butter sauce
Pili Pie and Mango Crepe with IceCream
Yummy. We ended the night by having a coffee at Legazpi's famous coffee shop.
La Mia Tazza
The morning after, kainan ulit. The complimentary breakfast selection is not much. Sakto lang kasi busog pa kami from last night's heavy dinner.
Noodle Soup, Daing, Tapa
Cereal and Walnuts
Again, the breakfast spread is limited. Just right. I wish they have bacon, waffles, and yogurt. Arte? Hehe
Anyway, while we're having breakfast, the staff gave Rem a surprise birthday cake. Thanks Abby, and happy birthday to you too!
Happy birthday Remay and Abby!
(yes, magka-bday sila!)
(yes, magka-bday sila!)
1st cake palang nya yan, 2 more to go!
Thanks a lot to the wonderful staff of Venezia. We had a great time in your hotel.

wow! ang ganda ng room, ang sarap ng food, ang ganda ng Mayon at nakadress ka! :)
Weird nga naman talaga na nasa loob ng isang subdivision ang hotel - in fact, this is the first time I've heard of it! So I guess, paglabas nyo ng hotel, puro na private houses and no commercial establishments.
ganda ng room :)
Ang laki ng room compare sa rate nya! At nakakatakam yung crispy pata + laing! :)
foodporn! this resort is very grandious!! excited to read your post on misibis bay! <3 dropping here chyng! gb!
chyng! don't tell me di ka nagpunta sa mayon!!!!
i've been to legazpi a dozen times. but since we have a house nearby, i haven't tried one hotel! maganda pala ha! :)
Grabe katakam takam na naman na mga pagkain! Mukhang snails yung crepe, natuwa ako. Hehehe.
And WOAH! Nagpakita sa inyo ang Mayon! Ang ganda nga ng shape niya!
Ganda ng place ah! I wouldn't mind paying din kung may pambayad ako for that place hehe. Mas type ko mga home-y places. Bonus pa na kitang-kita sa window si Mayon. Ayos :D
whoa! misibis bay! ganda naman ng lugar at di nawawala ang masarap na kainan.
gusto ko rin nyang Cam bag nyo..
halo.. san ba makakabili nyan??

Hi chyng!

pag nakarating ako sa Bicol, talagang hindi ko palalagpasin ang food trip. excited ako lagi pag uuwi yung boss ko kasi I'm sure uuwian ako ng pili at bicol express. hihihi! Ang ganda ng hotel girl. Parang mansion lang. Ang swerte mo at nakita mo ang peak.
Sarap sana ng food kaso konti serving ng breakfast rice, hehe...
Liked the Mayon shot from Hotel Venezia window.
ate how much is your airfaire going to that place? i want to start travelling around the philippines narin kasi with a low cost lang :) hope you could advise me!
The view from the room and the food is what I would love for sure :)

Alam ko matagal na ang Hotel Venezia pero parang bagong-bago pa sya, sana may magtreat din sa akin dito :)
