From Basco Airport to Fundacion Pacita
As we went out of Basco Airport, staff from Fundacion Pacita holding placards with my name on it welcomed us warmly. After retrieving our luggages, they helped us carry it to Fundacion Pacita's service van. A Toyota Hi-ace van. Probably the only newest van model in the entire island.
En-route to Fundacion Pacita, your heart will beat fast as the roads there are narrow and without borders - those afraid of heights are not advised to look out of the window :)
Fundacion Pacita - Luxury Terrace Suite
There are two balconies in the Luxury Terrace Suite of Fundacion Pacita. This is the smaller balcony.
Right above the balcony is the dining area of Fundacion Pacita. If there will be other guests, be aware that they can see you in your balcony from the dining area.
This is the view from our balcony.

Fundacion Pacita Common Area
The living room where the flat screen TV is located. They usually play music there but you can watch a movie from a selection of DVDs they have (DiBiDi).
The dining area with an amazing view. This shot was taken at night that's why the amazing view is not visible.
In the morning, this is the amazing view I was talking about above.
(The above coffee is from Starbucks. It's the Starbucks VIA Ready Brew)

This sofa is comfy. It will encourage you to situp straight,

Our last dinner at Fundacion Pacita -Roasted Chicken w/ Buttered Vegetables and Gabi Chips
I got traumatized by this dessert when I was still a kid. I think it's called "Maha-Blanca".

Just looking at your photos makes me want to hop on a quick vacation! Fundacion Pacita really made the most of the great views available to the place. Thanks for sharing.
@Claire,
Yes, definitely worth every penny! :) You're welcome.
I went here mid 2010 and I plan to return again after looking at your photos!
Your room possibly has the best view of the island, privacy, peace and quiet, large and comfortable.
I hope I'll have enough budget set aside for a holy week stay there.
Thank Iya! Yes, really comfy and homey-feel rooms. That's what you get at Fundacion :)
Guys, I posted the food we ate there... check out:
