Bella's Beach Paradise: Your Dream Philippine Getaway (Apt. 8)!
Okay, buckle up Buttercup, because we're diving headfirst into Bella's Beach Paradise (Apt. 8) and I'm, well, let's just say I'm bringing all the baggage. Forget the polished brochure, you’re getting the raw, unfiltered, truth-bomb-laden experience of this travel writer. Prepare for a rollercoaster of opinions, because frankly, I need a holiday after this.
Bella's Beach Paradise: Is it REALLY Paradise? (My God, I hope so…)
Let's be honest, "paradise" gets thrown around like confetti at a wedding. So, does Bella's Beach Paradise actually deliver on the promise? Well, that depends. My expectations were SKY HIGH. And honestly? Some parts soared, some parts… well, let's just say they needed a little more sunblock.
Let's Break it Down (Because I Need to Organize My Thoughts, Seriously)
First, Accessibility: Okay, important stuff first. Bella's claims to have facilities for disabled guests. Claims. We'll need to investigate that further. The elevator is a lifesaver (thank god!), which is a huge win for those with mobility issues. My brain immediately jumps to the thought of my grandmother…and picturing myself pushing her around is a hilarious thought. The hotel should probably provide more details on this.
On-site Accessible Restaurants & Lounges: THIS is crucial. Because if you can't get to the good food, what’s the point? From what I've read so far, they have, but again, the devil is in the details. We’ll need to see if the paths are wide enough, ramps are available, and if the staff are, actually, trained.
The Room (Apt. 8): My Home Away From… Well, My Chaotic Life, I Hope…
Alright, let’s get real. You're not traveling to the Philippines for a concrete block. You're after the vibe. And my initial impression? Air Conditioning: YES! (Thank GOD. Humidity is my nemesis). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! (Because, you know, Instagram waits for no one). I'm always looking for the window that opens, as well.
They also offer complimentary tea and free bottled water - a small detail that can make a huge difference after a long, sweaty journey. The desk is perfect for me to work. Blackout curtains, (Hallelujah!) I need that for my sleep schedule. The linens are a huge plus - you never know what you get. The private bathroom, and shower is a must. I NEED those!
Okay, the good stuff: Bathrobes and Slippers! (Immediately picturing myself swanning around like a pampered queen… This I approve). Extra long bed: Excellent! I hate having my feet hanging off the end. In-room safe box: Good! (Because I'm paranoid).
And that Mirror: (The most important thing.)
Rooms Sanitized Between Stays: (Excellent!)
My Inner Critic Screaming: "Don't Forget the Basics!"
- Cleanliness and Safety: (Vital. Especially now.) The mention of anti-viral cleaning products and daily disinfection in common areas is reassuring. I need to see it to believe it, but the effort is there. More points for doctor/nurse on call and first aid kit.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: (Please, please, please! Covid-era travel requires this).
- Room sanitization opt-out available: (Good for the eco-conscious, which, let's be honest, I'm not always, but I appreciate the option).
Food, Glorious Food! (And Will I Survive It?)
Alright, now we're getting to the real heart of the matter. Can a place truly be paradise if the food is rubbish? I think not.
- Restaurants: The fact they have multiple restaurants is incredible. I'm praying one restaurant is not a buffet.
- Asian Cuisine in Restaurant: YES!
- International Cuisine in Restaurant: YES!
- Breakfast [buffet]: Okay, maybe a little… but I'm hoping the quality is high.
- Breakfast in Room, Breakfast Takeaway Service: Excellent!
- Room service [24-hour]: This is a lifesaver when you have jetlag.
- Poolside bar: A MUST.
- Coffee shop: More coffee, MORE COFFEE.
- Snack bar: (Essential for those midday emergencies).
- Vegetarian restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant: Crucial for dietary needs.
The "Relaxation" Factor: My God, I NEED This.
Okay, let's be honest. I'm not just here to sightsee; I am here to de-stress. This is my mental health retreat.
- Massage: (YES, PLEASE! I need every single muscle massaged out of me.)
- Spa: (I’m picturing myself floating in rose petals.)
- Sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath: (Pure, unadulterated bliss. Someone stop me before I book a permanent residency.)
- Swimming pool [outdoor], Pool with view: (Essentials. I require a pool. End of story. The view is a bonus)
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a fan. But maybe I'll try.
The "To-Do" List (Or How To Keep Me Entertained):
Things to do: What are they? Beach? Island hopping? Scuba diving? Don't leave me hanging! Seriously, what am I supposed to do here?
For the Kids (And Maybe the Big Kids Too): I don't have kids, but I can see how this matters. Babysitting service? Useful!
Concierge: (Good for booking activities, I assume.) Getting Around:
Airport transfer is the absolute first thing on the checklist.
Car park (on-site), Car park (free of charge) is great.
Taxi service: Excellent!
Services and Conveniences: The "Nice-to-Haves" & The "Must-Haves"
Okay, let’s be real. I'm a sucker for the little things.
- Daily housekeeping: Bliss.
- Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Ironing service: Essential.
- Concierge: Good for booking activities and getting local info.
- Cash withdrawal: (Because I’m terrible with money and will inevitably need more).
- Currency exchange: (Always a good idea).
The Annoyances (Because No Place Is Perfect, Right?)
- Smoking area: (Why?)
- Pets allowed unavailable (This is not a deal-breaker, but I miss my cat).
The "Potential" Downsides (Things That Make Me Nervous):
- Lack of detail on Accessibility : This is my biggest concern. I need more info.
My Verdict (So Far…):
Bella's Beach Paradise sounds promising. It ticks a lot of boxes. Especially in the areas of rooms, safety, and dining. The potential to unwind and de-stress is THERE, but there are some gaps in the information.

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. We're going to Bella's Beach Resort (Apt. 8!) in the Philippines, and it's gonna be a beautiful, chaotic mess. Prepare for sand in your undies and maybe a minor existential crisis. Here we go…
Bella's Beach Resort - Right on the Beach! (Apt. 8) - The Unofficial Itinerary (and the Mess That’s Likely to Ensue)
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread (with a Side of Sunburn)
- 7:00 AM - 9:30 AM: Okay, the travel time is a blur of cramped airplane seats, recycled air, and that weird pre-flight "I'm-not-sure-I-packed-everything" paranoia. Landing in the Philippines is actually breathtaking. Seriously, the humidity slaps you in the face right off the bat. And the smell! A glorious mix of salt, flowers and the faint whiff of something cooking that you can’t quite identify (probably delicious). Finding a taxi is a whole other level of chaos. Haggling? Forget it, I’m useless. I’m just looking at the driver, imagining him driving me straight into the ocean, my luggage. A good start.
- 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM: Getting to Bella's Beach Resort. Apt 8 is… right on the beach! Which is amazing. The apartment itself? A little… rustic. You know, the kind of rustic that means "charmingly dilapidated" and also "holy crap, did they ever wash the curtains?". The view though. The view! Instant tears. Okay, maybe it was just the humidity, but the ocean is literally right there. I think I can work with this.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Unpacking, which quickly degrades into spreading my stuff everywhere because organization is clearly not a strong suit. Then, the agonizing decision of what swimsuit to wear first. Obviously, the one that makes me look the least like a beached whale. (Spoiler alert: they’re all equally flattering after a 20-hour journey.)
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch at a local eatery. Ordered something I thought was chicken but honestly, who knows? It was delicious. A little too spicy for my delicate palate, but the ice-cold San Miguel beer helped with that. Also: massive sunburn. Note to self: Reapply sunscreen. Regularly.
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Beach time! Or, as I like to call it, “attempting to achieve Zen amidst the chaos of small children and aggressively friendly vendors.” Got a massage on the beach. Bliss. Utter, complete, sun-soaked bliss. Almost fell asleep and almost got an entire sand-castled built on my tummy.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Sunset cocktails. Watched the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange and purple. Felt a profound sense of…being alive. And slightly tipsy. Life is good.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner at another local restaurant. Tried to order fish. Ended up with something that looked…questionable. Tasted fantastic, though. Turns out, the local food is going to be a highlight of the trip. I can't stand the thought of eating the same thing as before!
- 8:00 PM onwards: Stargazing on the beach. The sky is just overflowing with stars. Made the frankly astounding and slightly desperate decision to start writing a novel. (Probably will be abandoned by Day 3.) Tried to remember the last time I'd seen so many stars. Note: A profound sense of peace. And mosquitoes.
Day 2: Island Hopping and Regret (and more sunburn)
- 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Wake up with a stiff neck and a deep sense of "where am I?" Realize I forgot to close the curtains. Sunlight, blinding. Coffee, desperately needed.
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast at a nearby cafe. The "American breakfast" I ordered tasted suspiciously like spam and freedom fries. But it's fine. I'm on vacation!
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Island hopping! Hired a boat with some other tourists. Beautiful, but also a bit… crowded. Snorkeling was amazing. Saw a fish that looked like it had a bad attitude. Seriously, it gave me the stink eye. Also, spent way too much time trying (and failing) to get an Instagram-worthy photo.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch on a deserted beach. Got to experience the actual meaning of paradise. A picnic was prepared and then devoured.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: More snorkeling. Realized I’m kind of afraid of the open ocean. Also nearly stepped on a sea urchin. Ouch. Regret.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Back in the boat, fighting off seasickness. Realized I should have taken some medication. Vomited anyway. (Sorry, captain!) Felt like an absolute failure as a human.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Back at the resort. Shower. Assess the damage. (Mostly to my ego.)
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. A questionable dish again, but the flavors somehow just work for me. The spice level is still concerning.
- 8:00 PM onwards: Went back to bed. Realized I needed actual rest. Then realized the mosquitoes, again. Started writing the novel again. Note: Found a lizard in my room. Panic, followed by amusement. This place is truly an adventure.
Day 3: The Power of Doing Absolutely Nothing and The Deep Dive In One Specific Thing
- 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM: Wake up, sun already blazing. This time, did close the curtains. Small victories.
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast. The same thing as yesterday, but with added determination to enjoy it. Because, vacation.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: The beach. But, wait…this time with a purpose. I'm going to…build a sandcastle. Yes, the perfect, magnificent sandcastle. I've come this far in the world, why not try?
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 AM: Sandcastle construction! I spend hours meticulously crafting a sandcastle that will make King Tut jealous. Or… maybe not. It starts out pretty good, with turrets and moats and a tiny drawbridge. Then the tide starts coming in. Panic. Frantic digging and rebuilding! It is a battle against the inevitable, the humbling force of nature.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. I’m covered in sand, seaweed, and pure, unadulterated happiness.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Back to the sandcastle. Because darn it, I’m going to see this through! I employ intricate techniques (mostly learned from YouTube videos) to create a truly magnificent structure. Maybe it's not as impressive as I thought, but then a local child comes and starts to help. It's a team effort now, a symbol of human connection built on sand and shared laughter.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The tide. It's coming. I watch, a mixture of pride and heartbreak. The waves crash, slowly and surely, erasing my masterpiece. The child runs happily into the waves.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Sit on the beach. Meditate on the ephemeral nature of… everything. Enjoy the sunset.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner, try something new. Maybe I'll be brave… or, too tired.
- 8:00 PM onwards: Finally finish the book. The lizard comes out, and we agree to let each other rest.
Day 4: Unexpected Adventure (and the slow realization that I’m never leaving)
- 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Wake up. It's real.
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast.
