Martessem Mountain Resort

El Nido Palawan is one of the most beautiful places John and I visited. We've met a lot of international and local tourists. Among them, we enjoyed most the conversations we had with Mike Catuira from Tanay and his friends.

Although we've explored Tanay in the past, we haven't heard of Martessem. Well because Mike said it just recently opened last year. He highly recommended Martessem for its stunning sea of clouds view. That conversation was last July 2017 and was only able to finally visit Martessem early today. 

We didn't get to see the sea of clouds but we enjoyed the trip, we like the view, the cold weather and  their coffee which is good enough to make us stay for the whole day and just stare at the lovely site of nature. As Greg Anderson once said, "Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it."

We're definitely going back, next time with the kids, to see that sea of clouds. What we did for a half day tour? We had unlimited coffee for P50 each. John ate tapsilog (forgot the exact amount). We took photos and videos. We wanted to see the rooms, they only have 7 room for now, but they have a wedding so it was fully booked.

For now, feel free to watch our quick getaway from Manila.
