After the long 5-hour drive to La Union province from Batac, Ilocos Norte, we arrived at the lavish reception of Thunderbird Resort Poro Point. I’ve heard about this resort in San Fernando, La Union before. Other travelers who’ve visited Thunderbird Resort Poro Point described it as a semblance of Santorini in the Philippines owing to rock cliff ocean views and architecture inspired from white washed walls, blue domed churches, and borderline minimalist design found in the Greek isle of Santorini.

Here are a couple of pictures I took during our short visit to Thunderbird Resort Poro Point. If only we arrived hours earlier, we could have enjoyed the luxurious sunset seaviews of Poro Point.  

Thunderbird Resort Poro Point Food

We had alfresco dinner at the Veranda, the resort’s banquet venue.  The food was delicious but what made the experience more special was the relaxing effect of taking in fresh sea breeze and a view overlooking the ocean/pool area.
