			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Rizal</strong>&#8216;s most charming hotel, <strong>Thunderbird Resort</strong> (<strong>Philippines</strong>) deserves some serious attention.  Grandiose yet unassuming, this relaxed resort offers affordable luxury in the highland valley along the <strong>Sierra Madre Mountain Range</strong>.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/5418043201_e010e42d00_b.jpg" alt="" width="711" height="498" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just a few hours drive away from <strong>Manila</strong>, you&#8217;ll be rewarded with breath taking views of  <strong>Laguna de Bay</strong>, sunset against the shadow of the mountains in the afternoon and the <strong>Manila skyline</strong> at night time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-7025"></span> Surrounded by a lush green manicured greenery, you can take a plunge into the show-off aqua blue infinity pool or take a dip into the  inviting jacuzzi.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5260/5418648062_5613ceea90_b.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="669" /></p>
<p>In addition to the magnificent picture-perfect landscape, <strong>Thunderbird Resort Rizal</strong>&#8216;s 41- suite hotel offers sumptuous  meals courtesy of  <strong>Koi Restaurant</strong>,<strong> Pool Bar</strong> and the <strong>Cabana Bar</strong> found inside the rich and famous <strong>Fiesta Casino</strong>. <img src='http://www.thepinaysolobackpacker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Koi Restaurant photo @ Thunderbird Resort Rizal" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5220/5418647348_486d91c333_b.jpg" alt="Koi Restaurant photo @ Thunderbird Resort Rizal" width="442" height="643" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Indulge in the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of the simple yet elegant white rooms equipped with modern facilities and world class service. You can choose to stay in your dreamy bed all day with tempting foods and drinks in your personal refrigerator and get a soothing 15-minute free massage or chill up in your veranda enjoying the sunset and the relaxing view of the lush surroundings. Surprisingly, despite all these luxuries, our deluxe room where<strong> Chyng</strong> and I stayed is quite affordable compared to other posh hotels.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5056/5418645886_82ab611a13_b.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="685" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The only thing I noticed in the resort is the lack of gym and activity center and the lack of  door that leads directly to <strong>Koi Restaurant</strong>.  Because if you have kids, you don&#8217;t want your kids to witness the gaming or breath the smoke inside the casino when you pass by to head to the well-designed restaurant. To answer the need for an activity center, as part of it&#8217;s development plan, Thunderbird Resort Rizal is in the works of building the<strong> first state-of-the-art Event center in Rizal</strong>,so better watch out for that! <img src='http://www.thepinaysolobackpacker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5019/5418647518_9db63fb0c9_b.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="491" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And what&#8217;s the best thing I like about <strong>Thunderbird Resort- Rizal</strong>?  The resort is focused on protecting the environment by establishing best sustainable environmental practices, both within resort operations and through promotion of these principles. They have those Re-use cards  that guests place in their bed  to save water and energy.  I noticed even the lighting is also economical. The resort also initiated an environmental program dubbed as <strong>&#8220;Thunderbird resorts Efforts on Emvironment Sustainability&#8221;(TREES)</strong>, that aims to cultivate a green culture to it&#8217;s employees, their practices, their guests and to the community.<img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5177/5523758235_fb4af0e1a7_b.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="485" /></p>
<p>Outside those white-washed walls, lose yourself in the charming<strong> art capital of the Philippines</strong>, <strong>Binangonan</strong>. Explore a rich cultural patina of art houses, studios, galleries, exotic Filipino dish, museums, heritage sites, and the<strong> Angono Petroglyphs</strong> found at the foothill of  the resort.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7074" title="29" src="http://thepinaysolobackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/292.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="492" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">All in all, with the good customer service, the picture-perfect landscape, the relaxing atmosphere, comfortable bed and room, the delectable food, the continued efforts to preserve nature makes <strong>Thunderbird Resort Rizal</strong> an ideal stop-over and a relaxing escape to the savvy traveler.<br />
