Cozy Resort, Rosales, Pangasinan

Hubby decided to spend the weekend at Rosales, Pangasinan in part to accompany his uncle who is to be a principal sponsor at a friend's wedding.

We left manila around past 10Pm and traversed the rainy SCTEX around past 1am. We checked in at Cozy Resort in Pangasinan. The room we had was big and clean for 2,500 a night, it should be it's the suite room. It had simple furnishings, and a really strong airconditioning unit but the television set is not working and there was no refrigerator. The resort itself is situated in a ricefield so the only water facility available to entertained guests is the two swimming pools. My daughters really enjoyed the pool. But then it is easy to please them, anywhere with a body of water where they can dip is enough for them.

Breakfast consisted of daing na bangus, spam, eggs which costs 95 pesos along with coffee and or milo. I never did like salty foods but neither do i like bland foods. The breakfast was just bland. And their were flies on our breakfast table. Maybe they could have put something to deter the flies considering the place was really clean.
Over all, i think this is a good enough place to stay. We have only been to Pangasinan only one time and we stayed at Urdaneta Garden Resort. I would recommend that you stay here if you have business to do in Rosales or you just want somewhere else to sleep. Otherwise, if you want rest and relaxation and something more, like good food and really excellent service(like the guard being onhand to open the gate of the resort and we didn't have to honk twice, or that the tables are set for breakfast and waiters readily available and no flies please!, or that toiletries are already in the rooms without having to call room service) maybe there is a better place elsehere.


I may just add that the employees were really polite, they only probably need a training and instruction. Here's the contact numbers just in case you will be going to rosales:

Urdaneta, Pangasinan

We left manila around 3pm through nlex. We took the tabang exit to visit the historic barasoain church in malolos. We passed through pampanga and tarlac and then we decided to spend the night in urdaneta, pangasinan. I thought we were going to drive all through dagupan and spend the night there. Apparently, he has no intention of spending good friday on the road. Our first stop in urdaneta is the lisland resort but it's fully booked. Probably because the rates are reasonable and the ambience is good. Our second stop is Goldland spring resort but its also fully booked. The children decided to take a dip there but we didnt feel like staying long. After getting our take-out dinner from chowking, we checked in at Urdaneta garden resort.





Urdaneta garden resort is still in the process of completion but most of the cottages near the frontage is already completed. What is still under construction are the expansion areas at the back. The amenities consists of two swimming pools and a restaurant. The accomodations are very nice. The one that we stayed in 'torrey pines is an airconditioned bungalow type with two rooms, a bathroom, a dining area complete with tv and ref for 2,500 per night.

We left around 10 am after having breakfast for Our Lady Of Manaog with wet bathing suits at the back of the Fortuner. The kids doesn't want to leave the place anymore because of the swimming pool but it was just too hot to be swimming in the day and too good a day to waste inside that he decided we go on to visit other places and marvel at God's creations.
