The resort is nestled in a cove and one sees the spectacular view of the whole resort from its sentry post at the peak of a mountain. Before one reaches this post, the still-guarded gates of the now-closed Puerto Azul Beach Club will not be left unnoticed. The beach club used to be a favorite hang-out of Department of Labor officials for year-end assessment and planning sessions, mid-year conferences, and the usual summer team-building trips.
I am not sure whether teams are really built during these once-a-year trips.
Caylabne is reputed to be owned and managed by the Virata family, with the former Prime Minister Cesar Virata as its patriarch, I think.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner in Caylabne are often eat-all-you-can buffet meals and it is sometimes difficult for many to fight the urge to over-eat. I don’t have any trouble with that.
Often, people are quite amused when I eat my fruits first during these buffet “bouts” but I tell them that I do that for very good reasons.
Fruits rot very easily whether these are in our digestive cavity or on the dinner table. When fruits are taken before anything else, the body can benefit from their flavor, nutrients, fiber, vitamins, minerals and everything else that go with them.
When these are taken at the end of a meal, especially a carnivore’s meal, fruits become putrid even before they make it to the small intestines. All we get is an ephemeral flavor on our tongue and nothing much else.
So remember, whether in Caylabne Beach Resort or not, eat your fruits first.
