KIDS enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool

Planning to check into the Pico Sands Hotel and let your kids join the space camp on April 26? Here are 12 other things your family can enjoy at Pico de Loro Cove.

 

BUILD a sand castle

1. Chef Jayme Natividad’s Pinoy Pasta. The US-trained chef is Pico de Loro’s new executive chef, and his Pinoy Pasta—spaghetti noodles topped with the delicious mix of lechon kawali, bagoong, fresh tomatoes and green mangoes—is a must-try.

 

This dish alone makes us want to go back to Pico de Loro and we will happily order it at every meal—even breakfast!
