What's New in Pontefino?

My first time in Pontefino was way back in 2005 (or was it '06?) for one of my client's team buildings. How was I to know that a couple of years later, I was to be with one of the guys who actually launched this hotel? Feels weird how that works right?

Anyway, so it's been what? 4 or 5 years since my last visit in Pontefino? It was just a matter of time before Cy took me here, which he did a couple of months ago, together with his family.

So what's new in Pontefino? Three interesting things actually. But before that, let me just remind everyone that I've always been pretty clear with my stand on being unbiased, honest and frank when it comes to Cy's restos. So I will. And with that being said, the first update on Pontefino is the new menu of their resto, Robusta. I was looking forward in trying their food because a "celebrity" chef, who wishes to be unnamed actually developed the menu for them. He doesn't want to be named, but I will give obvious hints...think Chelsea and Mr. Jones. Hehe.

And I'm sorry to say that I wasn't a fan of the food. Let's leave it at that, shall we? The second update on Pontefino, is their lovely residential area. One look at these houses and I wanna pack up and stay in Batangas for good!

The houses reminded me so much of Frisco, and they are almost sold out, can you believe? But I think they are making new ones--sigh...I wish I had the money to buy one right about now....

And finally the third update on Pontefino, and my favorite, is their day trip tie-up with the "secret" island Cy and I just absolutely love. Pontefino being the first and only high-end hotel this side of Batangas, they have access to one of the most amazing private islands I have ever been to, thus far. Am I being annoyingly vague? Go and stay in Pontefino with your significant other and find out for yourself :)

XOXO,

Kai :)
