The stunning features of Sam Pinto's L'Sirene Boutique Resort in Baler
Sam Pinto delved into the story of her resort, L'Sirene Boutique, which she built on her P17 million property that she paid in full price.
In an interview with Karen Davila on her YouTube vlog, the actress shared that she was just 27 years old when she bought the 3.5-hectare land in Baler, Aurora.
According to her, the desire to build her own resort started from her love of beaches.
"I tried surfing sa La Union and parang na-in love ako sa sport, kasi I'm very sporty eh, I'm a Sagittarius so I love anything to do with the water," Sam said. "Nung pumunta kami sa Baler, na-in love talaga ako kasi sobrang ganda niya. Plus, 'yung beach niya, pwede kang mag-surf kahit saan."
"Ang nanay ko kasi, estate lawyer, sabi niya 'Lupa talaga, kasi hindi bumababa ang lupa eh.' Dapat bahay lang ito, eh ang laki ng property na nabili ko. Ang laki masyado, para pa lang beach house. Sabi ko, 'I-share ko kaya itong paradise na ito with everybody.' So ayan, nabuhay ang resort," she continued.
The actress also shared that she paid for the land in full. "I think it was P17 million," she said, adding that she got the money from all her showbiz projects and endorsements.
Resort features
The L'Sirene Boutique Resort has a total of 15 rooms that can accommodate up to four people and are personally designed by Sam with comfort and relaxation in mind.
As soon as you check in, you'll be greeted by the spacious lounge pool that's perfect for a leisurely swim thanks to its shallow water. Complementing the scene are comfy gazebos where you can chill and enjoy a moment of pure bliss.
If you want to indulge in some local cuisine, you won't have to step out of the resort as it has an onsite restaurant that offers a diverse menu of Filipino dishes and delectable seafood.
But if you don't want to leave the comforts of your room, you can opt for room service so you can indulge yourself in a private dining experience.
Other amenities that you can enjoy include a bar to sip on refreshing cocktails, a spa area where you can say goodbye to those stiff muscles, a garden where you can enjoy the pleasing sight of vibrant flowers and tropical plants, and a souvenir shop that holds locally made handicrafts, clothing, and other cute mementos.
Of course, a stay at a resort isn't complete without going to the beach.
L'Sirene Boutique Resort is merely a walk away from Sabang Beach, which is known for its golden sands and crystal-clear waters. According to Sam, the beach has no limits when it comes to surfing, but if you want more water activities, the resort also offers kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing.
There's also a surf shack where you can get surfing lessons for P500 per head.
For accommodations, you can choose from the following:
- Deluxe Room - 35 sqm room with two luxurious queen beds, P6,500 per night
- Super Deluxe Room - 40 sqm room with two queen beds, for P7,500 per night
The rooms are equipped with modern amenities such as aesthetic furniture, free Wi-Fi, a television for your entertainment needs, airconditioning, as well as two separate bathrooms—one for taking a shower and one for handling your business, all of which are complete with hygiene essentials.
