DiploBaby’s best friend M was celebrating his birthday in Anvaya Cove in Morong, Bataan. We were excited to spend a weekend at the beach with our good friends Javi & Jo. This post is how the drive was & a review on the accommodations we stayed in.

It was a pleasant drive, especially on the smooth roads of SCTEX. Don’t be tempted to go above the speed limit because they have cameras and they will catch you & take your license as you exit on the tollway.

Check out this shiny gold car!

Be sure to have a super safe car seat when you are driving on the highways. DiploBaby uses Cybex Gold Car Seat that can be used from 3 – 12 years old. It’s super comfortable, well-made & keeps our warm baby cool coz of the amazing fabric. I feel safe with it coz it has an adjustable angle & cradles his head so he sleeps comfortably without nodding down.

ANVAYA COVE ACCOMMODATIONS

First of all we were going with our friends who were there with a club member. I think that’s needed to be able to stay in a members-only club. Though I have seen it being advertised on platforms like Agoda & Booking but TD said it’s more of a hassle.

We rented out a condominium or apartment type of unit. It has a living room with pull-out beds.

There’s a balcony & a kitchenette

Comes with a full-sized refrigerator, stove, hot water kettle, plates, cutlery, pots and pans.

Prices for the consumable items on the bar

TD & I stayed in this room

The beds were comfy, but I recommend bringing extra pillows.

This is the shared bathroom which is convenient for families because the toilet, shower & sink can be used separately.

Comes with lotion & handsoap

No hanging stuff on the balcony haha

REVIEW

All in all, I enjoyed the accommodations in Anvaya Cove. It was spacious, clean & thoughtfully designed. It’s run like a hotel so everything is also hotel-quality. If you have the chance and you want to have a quick weekend getaway Anvaya Cove is a nice 3hr drive & a relaxing stay.

By the way to get there and also to get around Anvaya Cove itself, you definitely need a car. The hotel, beach, pool & restaurants are spread out so you need a car to get around.
