Amanpulo is a private island resort in the Philippines. It means peaceful island. I've been there once, during my honeymoon, but I'll make sure I get to visit again sometime.
Amanpulo has a private airport lounge in Manila.
The host served us a Filipino merienda or a snack, and fresh dalandan juice while waiting for the private plane.

Upon landing, we were greeted by our own personal host who knows us by name already. They gave us some kind of flower necklace, toured us around the island and left us with our own golf cart. Every single one of the staff wherever we went knew our names. I swear.
Happy us.

This is the casita we stayed in. Every night there's a little gift to munch -- yema, pastillas, or some other kind of Filipino candy.
There was always fresh fruits or merienda waiting for us in the afternoon. It was like having our own Harry Potter elf. Magic. (Holy moly, wait, I can't believe how many times I said the word merienda here. I'm such a food junkie. Heehee.)
Part of the casita bathroom. I fell in love over again.

The island itself is the main attraction. This is Shark Point. We didn't get to see sharks there though.

We also had a private picnic during our stay. We just went to the picnic spot on top of the hill on the set schedule, and food was ready -- surprisingly, it was still warm. Forgive my super suntanned skin. Eek.

At the end of our stay, the tub was filled with rose petals, and candles were lit. I was so sad to go home. One week was not enough. Until we meet again, Amanpulo.
