Benjarong Restaurant: A Thai Culinary Symphony

As soon as you walk into Benjarong Restaurant, the warm aroma of Thai herbs and spices fills the air, inviting you to sit down and linger, thanks to its open kitchen setup. The dinner experience felt like a true Thai feast—beginning with the crispy, golden Tod Man Goong, each bite a nostalgic reminder of street food markets in Thailand. The Tom Yam Goong soup, with its bold combination of lemongrass and lime, warmed me from the inside out, while the vibrant Som Tham Thai balanced sweet, sour, and spice in a way that felt like it was crafted just for me.

But it was the Gaeng Kiew Wan Kai, the green curry, that stole my heart. With each spoonful, you could taste the careful layering of flavors—spicy, creamy, and comforting. The Pad Thai Goong felt like sharing a piece of my ex-workplace, a dish so familiar yet elevated, and by the time we finished the meal with the sweet simplicity of Khao Neiw Mamung (sticky rice and mango), we felt as if we had been taken on a journey across Thailand itself.

Tradewinds Café: The Heart of Filipino Breakfast Buffet

There’s something inherently comforting about a Filipino breakfast, and Tradewinds Café delivers that sense of home with every dish. From the earthy warmth of arroz caldo to the crispy, flavorful dried fish, the buffet offers a taste of Filipino culture in every bite. The sweet, velvety taho, freshly made and still warm, took me back to my childhood, reminding me of mornings spent waiting for the taho vendor to arrive. Yes, they have a roving staff that serves taho the traditional way.

And while the spread of local delicacies like sapin-sapin and puto maya was a feast for the eyes, it was the hospitality of the staff that truly made the experience feel like home.

Sunset Sports Bar: A Feast for the Senses

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, we settled into our seats at Sunset Sports Bar. The Surf and Turf Platter arrived—an array of crispy calamari, chimichurri shrimp, and perfectly grilled ribs. But it wasn’t just the food; it was the laughter shared over the table, the clink of glasses as we toasted to another perfect day, and the simple joy of being together in such a beautiful place.

The flavors were bold, but the moments shared were what truly lingered. The tangy freshness of the Crazy Salmon and the hearty bite of Pulled Pork Pao Buns filled our stomachs, but the warmth of good company filled our hearts.

Dusit Club Lounge: A Refined Afternoon Tea

There was something magical about the quiet stillness of the Dusit Club Lounge. As we sipped on our iced lattes and nibbled on delicate cake slices, time seemed to slow down. The hum of the resort in the background faded as we took in the stunning view of the Infinity Pool framed by the coconut trees, feeling utterly spoiled by the luxury of the moment.

The Dusit Club Lounge can be accessed by guests staying at the Club Rooms. This is one of the best hideouts in the luxury resort. Business can be done here thanks to its equipped boardroom with sophisticated furnishings.

Seaside Cebuano BBQ: Grilled to Perfection

As the gentle waves gently lapped against the shore, the smoky scent of grilled seafood and meats filled the air at the Seaside Cebuano BBQ. I felt connected to the land and sea with every bite of grilled chicken, shrimp, and the oh-so-tender Prime Roast Beef. The simplicity of the grilled seafood paired with a refreshing citrus-soy dip was enough to make us sigh with contentment. It was the perfect close to a day filled with incredible food and even more incredible memories. Additionally, I love burying my toes in the white sand beach, it is such a therapeutic moment.
