Unbelievable Pico de Loro Apartment: Nasugbu, Philippines Awaits! - A Real Review (Because Let's Be Honest)

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I just got back from spending a week at Unbelievable Pico de Loro Apartment in Nasugbu, Philippines, and let me tell you – "Unbelievable" isn't just marketing fluff (though, let's be real, some of it is!). This isn’t your perfectly polished hotel advertisement; this is real, honest, slightly rambling, and definitely opinionated review. So, grab a coffee (or a strong drink; you’ll probably need it), and let's dive in.

First Impressions (and the Drive There - The Real Test of Accessibility)

Getting there? Well, Nasugbu isn't exactly next door. It’s a bit of a trek from Manila, which is already trying, considering traffic alone, but the promise of those Pico de Loro beaches keeps you going. I’m someone who values accessibility, and I have to say, while the apartment itself appears generally accessible based on its design (Elevators, ramps, etc. - listed under services and conveniences), it's the journey and the overall resort layout that need consideration.

• Accessibility - (3/5 stars): The resort itself isn't flat. There are hills. So, if you have mobility issues, plan carefully. The apartment felt user-friendly once I was in it, but navigating the resort's terrain can be challenging. Parking was thankfully easy (listed under getting around). However, to be fair, the resort did have elevators, which is a huge plus

The Good Stuff: Where Pico de Loro Shines (and where I almost lost my mind - in a good way!)

Alright, let's get to the juicy bits. The reason you're probably even considering this place:

• The Apartment Itself: Let's just say, I was impressed. The apartment was seriously well-equipped. (Available in all rooms section): Air conditioning? Check. Alarm clock? Check. Free Wi-Fi (thank the gods!)? Double check! Everything was clean and modern. The Seating area and Sofa were perfect for chilling. And the kitchen? Okay, it wasn't a professional chef's kitchen, but it had everything I needed to whip up some basic meals (and sneak in some midnight snacks!). The Refrigerator was a lifesaver for my sanity, and the coffee/tea maker… well, that thing was my best friend every morning. Also: Bathrobes and slippers felt luxurious. I felt like a king.

• The Views! (Or, How I Spent an Hour Doing Absolutely Nothing): Listen, the whole point of Pico de Loro is the view, right? And wow. The apartment had (window that opens!!!) huge windows that opened, and the view over the sea was GORGEOUS. I spent an entire hour just staring out the window, watching the world go by. Pool with view is the key. Seeing the ocean from the pool is stunning.

• The Spa (and My Face's Near-Death Experience): Okay, this is where it gets REALLY good. I'm not usually a spa person, but after a long, stressful week, I was desperate. I went for a massage and a body scrub. Let me tell you, the massage was pure bliss. But the body scrub? Well, let's just say my face may have turned a shade of red that was previously unseen by human eyes. The therapist was lovely, though. I'm still not entirely sure what they put on me, but my skin felt AMAZING afterwards. It was worth it.

• Poolside Bar (and the realization that happy hour is essential): The Poolside bar. The Poolside bar. The Poolside bar. This is where I found true happiness. Sipping cocktails, watching the sun set over the ocean… this is what vacations are all about people. Happy hour is a must, and the staff here are excellent.

The Okay Bits: Where Pico de Loro Could Improve (and Where I Learned a Lesson About Patience)

Nothing's perfect, right? Even in paradise, there are a couple of things… (and these are my opinions so don't hate me!)

• Food, Glorious Food (and the occasional disappointment): The restaurants on-site are alright. (More on Dining, drinking, and snacking section) There's a decent variety of cuisine. I had a fantastic (Asian cuisine in restaurant) curry one night, and a terrible overpriced burger the next. The Breakfast [buffet] offered all the usual suspects, even a soup in restaurant (which, honestly, I don't eat soup). The Coffee shop was great, with good coffee and pastries, but sometimes the service felt a bit slow (and the staff were overwhelmed.) There's a Snack bar as well, and all of the essentials.

• Internet Woes (The Curse of Remote Work): The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is true, but the speed wasn't always reliable. I needed to do some work while I was there, and, let's say, it was a struggle. The Internet - Internet access – wireless was a bit patchy at times, and I was so grateful for one of the little desks I could work at in the rooms (listed under available in all rooms), however. The resort provided Internet services.

• Crowds (and the need for personal space): Remember that "Unbelievable" part? Well, everyone else seems to think so too. Especially on weekends, the resort can get packed. Finding a sun lounger by the pool sometimes felt like an Olympic Sport. I learned the hard way that it's best to get up early and claim your spot, and the pool with view is amazing.

Cleanliness and Safety: The Worry-Free Zone (Thank God)

The Cleanliness and safety section is massive, and for good reason. You're at a resort. You want to feel safe.

• I felt so safe, thanks to the Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and the Rooms sanitized between stays. Hand sanitizer stations were EVERYWHERE, which was a relief. They clearly take the safety of their guests very seriously.

Services and Conveniences (The Perks of a Good Stay)

• The resort offers SO many things, it's almost overwhelming. Cash withdrawal, concierge, food delivery, laundry service, luggage storage and even a gift/souvenir shop. You don't really need to leave the resort.

For the Kids (and the Parents Who Need a Break)

The For the kids category is important. Babysitting service and Kids facilities mean the whole family is good to go.

Final Verdict: Should You Book? (Spoiler Alert: Probably Yes!)

Look, Pico de Loro isn't perfect. But is any place? The Unbelievable Pico de Loro Apartment offers a stunning setting, a comfortable and well-equipped apartment. The spa is a must. The bar is essential. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind and forget about the stresses of everyday life.

Here's my imperfect summary:

• Pros: Beautiful views, well-equipped apartments, fantastic Spa, amazing pool and bar, good food options. Clean, safe, and the staff tries very hard. The whole complex seemed to be maintained well.
• Cons: The Internet can be spotty, crowds on weekends, food can be a bit hit and miss, and the drive from Manila (but what else is new).
• Overall: Highly Recommended! If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with gorgeous views, good food, and a chance to recharge your batteries (and maybe get a slightly painful, but ultimately rejuvenating, body scrub), then Unbelievable Pico de Loro Apartment is definitely worth checking out.

My Stream-of-Consciousness Recommendation (Because Why Not?)

If you're looking for pure escapism, book a stay mid-week to avoid the weekend madness. Go for the spa, and consider the breakfast in room option for that extra bit of luxury. Don't forget the poolside bar! And for the love of all that is holy, stock up on snacks from the convenience store. Finally book now because this place fills up fast.

Apartment at Pico De Loro Nasugbu Philippines

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly curated Instagram travel post. This is a real-life, slightly chaotic, probably sunburned, and definitely snack-fueled account of my trip to an apartment at Pico de Loro, Nasugbu, Philippines. Let’s get this over with… I mean, started.

Pico de Loro: The Promised Land (or at least, a place with a pool)

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Condo Hunt

• 10:00 AM: Manila Airport? Ugh. Always a circus. Somehow, after a terrifying taxi ride (seriously, those drivers are part race-car driver, part daredevil), I'm finally at the Pico de Loro gates. The security guard gives me that "you lost, lady?" look. I flash my Airbnb key (that I did remember to bring! Victory!).

• 11:00 AM: Okay, finding the actual apartment proved harder than climbing Mount Everest. "Building A, Unit 304" – sounds easy, right? Wrong. Apparently, every building looks exactly the same. I wandered around, sweaty and muttering, for a solid 45 minutes. Started questioning my life choices. Was this a sign? Was I meant to spend my life wandering aimlessly through condo complexes? Finally, a sympathetic cleaning lady pointed me in the right direction. Bless her soul.

• 11:45 AM: FINALLY, the apartment! It's… nice. Okay, it's pretty damn nice. Balcony overlooking the pool? Check. Cold AC? DOUBLE check. Instantly, I'm in vacation mode. Dropped my bags, peeled off my travel-worn clothes, and immediately went to change to my swimwear.

• 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Unpacking and condo exploration. My first impressions, the place is actually pretty decent, with a good view of the pool. The kitchen seems well-stocked, and there's even a small microwave. I might actually be able to eat something other than instant noodles.

• 1:00 PM: Lunch. I'm ridiculously hungry. The fridge is bare. Rookie mistake. Resort prices are highway robbery, so instant noodles will be my saving grace.

  The balcony is calling my name. A quick snack and a short nap, then it's off to the pool!

Day 2: Pool, Beach, and the Mystery of the Missing Sunscreen

• 9:00 AM: Wake up early. Too much excitement, can't sleep. I grab a cup of instant coffee (the "luxury" kind - three sachets instead of one) and head to the balcony. The view is… glorious. The air is perfectly humid and warm. I swear, just sitting there, I feel my stress levels plummet.
• 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Pool time! Sunscreen application attempt number one. Failed miserably. I'm pretty sure I missed some crucial spots. Never mind. I dive in. The water is the perfect temperature, the sun is shining, and for a few glorious hours, I'm just… happy. I start to feel myself turning into a lizard.
• 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: "Lunch and beach" I thought. After the pool, I try to head to the beach. A sudden downpour. The sky opened up, and I was trapped. Resigned, I settled down, pulled up a couple of movies, and finished the day. "A couple of movies and snacks"

Day 3: The Dive (Or My Near-Death Experience with a Snorkel)

• 9:00 AM: Decide to book a snorkeling trip. Because…vacation, right?
• 10:00 AM: Getting to the dive site was a comedy of errors. The boat ride was a shaky, stomach-churning ordeal. I almost lost my breakfast (and my dignity) multiple times. But I survived!
• 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: The snorkeling itself…Well, let’s just say I'm not destined to be a marine biologist. The water was murky. The visibility was… not great. I swallowed half the ocean, panicked because my snorkel kept filling with water, and nearly drowned. Seriously. At one point, I was convinced I was going to become a permanent inhabitant of the coral reef. The only interesting thing here was a single, slightly judgmental-looking fish.
• 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: After the near-death experience, I'm a bit shaken. I head back inside the apartment, the relief as the cold air hits my skin is intoxicating. I decide to order some food, eat it, and re-think my life.
• 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: After a brief rest, I decide to have an afternoon snack. I take a dip in the pool again, and actually manage to enjoy it this time.
• 3:00 PM - End of day: It's the end of the day! It's been a good day, despite the snorkel incident. I collapse on the couch, watch some telly and order some pizza.

Day 4: Departure

• 9:00 AM: Woke up
• 9:30 AM: Packed my bags
• 10:00 AM: Checked out
• 10:30 AM: On my way back

Final Thoughts:

This trip was a mixed bag. The condo was great, the pool was perfect, and the beach was… well, it existed. But the snorkeling? Let’s just say I'm giving it a long, hard pass next time. The travel has its share of imperfections, but also, the experience is what made this trip memorable, the good and the bad. Would I go back to Pico de Loro? Absolutely. Just maybe without a snorkel. And definitely with more sunscreen. And perhaps a life vest. Actually, scratch that. I am staying home… I'm tired.

And that, my friends, is the real Pico de Loro experience, warts and all. Or at least, a heavily sunburnt, slightly traumatized version of it.

Unbelievable Pico de Loro Apartment: FAQs – Because Honestly, You Have Questions!

Okay, spill. Is Pico de Loro *really* all it's cracked up to be? I see the pictures...

Look, let's be real. The pictures are *gorgeous*. Beaches? Check. Pools? Double check. Palm trees swaying romantically? Triple check. **But, and this is a big but**, it also depends on your personality. If you're expecting absolute, flawless perfection, maybe lower those expectations a *hair*. I mean, it *is* the Philippines. Things happen. One time, we booked a place described as "beachfront, steps to the sand." Turns out, "steps" meant a near-vertical scramble down a rocky cliff face. And the "sand"? Well, let's just say there were pebbles involved. Lesson learned: always ask clarifying questions! And Pico de Loro? It's beautiful, yes, but sometimes the aircon... just *perspires* instead of cools. You've been warned. But the sunsets? Worth every warm, humid bead of sweat. Absolutely.

What's the deal with the apartments? Are they comfortable? Clean? Do they have decent internet? (Because, you know, gotta work *some* of the time...)

Alright, the apartments vary. Seriously, they do. Some are stunning, all sleek lines and designer furniture. Others... let's just say "lived-in" might be a generous description. **Check reviews carefully!** Find one with good ratings about the cleanliness, because believe me, you *don't* want to spend your vacation battling mysterious stains. I learned that the hard way, let's just leave it at that. Internet? *Pray.* It's the Philippines, remember? Even in Pico de Loro, it can be spotty. I've had days where I could stream Netflix flawlessly, and others where I was lucky to send a simple email. If you absolutely *need* reliable internet, bring a pocket wifi. Seriously. It's a sanity saver. I remember trying to write a work report once, when I was there for a week. The internet was down for 3 days straight. Let's just say, my boss wasn't happy. And neither was I, because I love the beach... but work sucks.

Okay, so you mentioned beaches and pools. What's the best way to enjoy these? Is it crowded?

The beaches are gorgeous. The pools? Amazing. But the best way to enjoy them is to **go EARLY**. Seriously. Get there before the masses descend. Especially on weekends and holidays. Otherwise, you'll be fighting for a sun lounger like you're competing in the Hunger Games. I vividly recall one trip – it was during a local holiday, and the entire world seemed to have descended on Pico de Loro. The pool was a churning mass of humanity, and the beach was... well, let's just say finding a space to spread out a towel required Olympian-level maneuvering. My advice? Wake up early, stake your claim, and then enjoy the peace and quiet before the chaos begins. The early bird gets the worm (and the prime beach spot)! Or, you know - go on a weekday. Do that.

Food! What about the food options? Are they good? Expensive?

The food is... decent. There are restaurants within Pico de Loro, and they're generally more expensive than what you'd find outside the resort. Expect to pay a premium for the convenience. The food quality is... variable. Some places are great, others are okay. Do some research before you commit to eating there every meal. My advice? Bring some snacks! Seriously. Pack some crackers, fruits, and maybe even instant noodles for those late-night cravings (or when your budget starts screaming). Consider venturing outside Pico de Loro to try the local restaurants. You'll find some really amazing meals at a fraction of the price. And they have amazing *halo-halo*. Seriously, the *halo-halo* is worth the trip!

Is it suitable for families? For couples? For people who just want a relaxing solo trip?

**Families? YES!** There are tons of things to keep kids entertained. Pools, beaches, and activities like kayaking. Just be prepared for the potential crowds. **Couples? ABSOLUTELY!** It's a romantic spot, especially for sunsets and cozy dinners. **Solo travelers? DEFINITELY!** It's safe, and you can easily find your own space and peace. I went by myself once. It was *glorious*. I read a book, swam in the pool, and didn't have to share my fries with anyone! Pure bliss. The only downside? You can't take those Instagram pics of you with your friends, but hey, sometimes you need a break from everyone and everything.

How do I get there? Are there any transportation tips and tricks?

The drive from Manila can take a while, depending on traffic. Think anywhere from 2.5 to 4 hours, even longer sometimes.. The best way to get there is to hire a private car or taxi. Honestly, it's worth the convenience. The buses and public transport can be crowded and uncomfortable. And honestly, after a long trip, you don't want to be crammed into a bus. **Tip:** Leave early in the morning to avoid the worst of the traffic. And bring snacks and entertainment (because, again, the drive is long). One time, we were stuck in traffic for *five* hours. Five. Hours. Without snacks. Without entertainment. It was a slow descent into madness. Don't be like us. Be prepared!

Okay, I'm intrigued. Any *major* drawbacks I should know about? Something you really hated, maybe?

Okay, my BIGGEST complaint? The *extra* fees. There are fees for everything, it seems. Entrance fees, amenity fees, fees for using the gym... it adds up. It's death by a thousand papercuts to your budget. **Read the fine print carefully!** Factor those extra costs into your budget, or you'll be unpleasantly surprised when you check out. And another thing? The aircon units that sound like airplanes taking off. I once stayed in a place where the air conditioner sounded like a jet engine. Okay, that was terrible... it was LOUD. I actually lost sleep because of it. Now, I always pack earplugs. Essential packing item. *Seriously*. And the lack of consistent hot water. And the fact that the *actual* ocean isn't always the cleanest. Okay, okay, I'm starting to sound like a grumpy old man. But go in with eyes wide open, and you'll be fine. Just… be warned!

Anything else I should bring? Any packing tips?

Okay, listen up! Besides earplugs (see above), bring these things:
