It's fiesta time at Golden Sunset

MANILA, Philippines - How many young people have experienced hitting the palayok (pot)? How many have climbed the greasy palo-sebo to claim the pot money? How many have marched with the musiko that wakes up townspeople during fiestas?

Golden Sunset Village and Resort Spa in Calatagan, Batangas revives the fiesta experience as it mounts “Fiesta! Fiesta!,” a weekly showcase of the most-loved Philippine celebrations.

“This is our way to help keep the traditions alive. Our children today do not know anymore how fun it is to join our local festivities. Our countrymen who have been based abroad, on the other hand, surely miss all these fun,” says Ricky Reyes, the person behind Golden Sunset.

The weekend fiesta theme at Golden Sunset even includes fiesta food such as lechon, jardinera, halo-halo, kakanin and bibingka.

Golden Sunset Village Resort & Spa is only a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Makati. It boasts top-rated facilities such as swimming pools, water slides, Jacuzzis, and well-managed restaurants — including Cusina de Oro and Chow Express.

Other amenities also include the floating karaoke dens, the Serendipity Spa, the Butterfly Sanctuary, the Outdoor Museum Gallery, and 65 air-conditioned rooms.
