Last April 2010, Dale and Mitch were back for the third time, this time with a beautiful, little girl named Miracle Aira Danielle, their first born. According to them, Miracle or “Mira” for short was “made” in Coco Beach and they wanted her first birthday to be a truly memorable one. The bakers of Coco Beach made a beautiful banana cake with sugar icing which was served during breakfast last April 22, Mira’s birthday. Mitch brought a long some lootbags filled with treats, gaily colored balloons and a “pabitin” which the dining staff helped set up. They also sang a birthday song to Mira who was only too happy with her birthday celebration. Mira then shared her cake with the other guests having breakfast at that time and gave loot bags and party hats to the other kids.

After breakfast, the Ibay family went for a whole day of snorkeling and picnic and by evening had a wonderful dinner by the beach with the resort’s Chef special. Abet, one of our waiters waited on them that evening.

To continue with Mira’s birthday celebration, a morning-filled with children’s activities was prepared by the Activity Guides who assisted the family with games which included a pabitin and hit the pot at the Children’s Playground. Guests and their children as well as some of the children of Coco Beach Family were there, too.

Dale, Mitch and particularly Mira, enjoyed their stay so much that the family decided to extend one more day here at Coco Beach. With the Ibay family, we hope that they will become part of our tradition here in Coco Beach!
