Thunderbird Resort (Poro Point) La Union
Thunderbird is a 65-hectare resort in Northern Luzon, Philippines. You can find it at Poro Point in La Union province, Ilocos Region (not to be confused with the branch in Binangonan, Rizal).
You might have already been here or have heard about this spot. It’s known for its extensive Santorini-inspired structures built on the beachside.
We were supposed to visit Thunderbird only to look around but ended up eating lunch there because the 1,000-peso day pass was consumable at the restaurant and the pastry shop. Today, I’m sharing my experience and letting you know how our experience went.
The Place | Surroundings
The whole place, in general, was beautiful and spacious. The resort had a unique vibe which I believe was brought about by the Greek-inspired architecture. The open spaces complimented the Blue and White buildings everywhere.
They have their version of LA’s Urban Light, which I failed to take a photo of because it was far from the entrance (but you could see it from afar in the image below).
The views here are breathtaking. There is so much open space, and you are sure to get your much-needed privacy. It's perfect for families and couples who want a good break from work or stress. If you want more time, you can also book a stay. I've seen promos online from different websites like Agoda and Booking.
Dining Experience
The consumable day pass fee can get you a decent meal. They had a lot of options on the menu, and everything was available. I ordered Grilled Deviled Chicken while the rest had pasta. My order wasn't the best, but I enjoyed the all-meat pizza. It was so good.
For drinks, I had a hot mocha, then some alcohol. I like what they did with the coffee. As you can see below, they personalized my drink by writing my name on it. That was creative. I appreciate the effort.
