No further introduction is needed for this hotel and resort as Thunderbird is widely known all over the world. There is a Thunderbird Resort in Rizal and another one in La Union.
I have always wanted to go to Greece and spend even just a day at the island of Santorini. Fortunately, Thunderbird has crafted its resort in Poro Point, La Union based on the structures of the houses in Santorini. The white and blue paint and the big dome resembles the old houses in Santorini. Just like Santorini, the resort is situated near the cliff.
I was able to get a discount price on the hotel because of their rainy season offer. I was able reserve a room for two in one of their villa. The place was called El Mundo wing which is on the left side and near the golf course. The villa is a two-storey house which is divided in four rooms. You have an option to reserve the whole house which can accommodate a whole family or book just one room. The room is fully furnished with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bed room. Each room also has their own veranda.

The house is a bit far from the main hotel however there is a shuttle service that requested to pick you up at your room. Aside from the beautiful house where I stayed, of course there are other beautiful place in the resort.
The swimming pool of the resort has a very relaxing structure. It also has a small blue dome with a structure like a bar.
The resort has a boardwalk where you can sit and relax. It gives a spectacular view of the sea and how waves crashes to the rocks. It is strictly prohibited by the resort to go near the cliffs. There are roving guards to ensure that guests will not try to go to the cliff side.
Unfortunately, the beach was closed on my visit. I suspect that it's because of the large waves that keeps on crashing on the shores. Well, its better that the management ensures the safety of their visitors. The water activities like jet ski, wake boarding and surfing are on the beach.
Thunderbird also boasts their golf course and Fiesta Casino. I have tried their slot machines but I didn't have much luck that night.
Aside from the different amenities, the resort also caters nice foods. You may check about their dinner and breakfast at my post gastronomy-at-thunderbird-poro-point
