One of my favorite spots on this resort is the lagoon area. Check the photos below. Snail eggs The view here is really relaxing and comfortable. You can see the hill behind the resort that I believe is part of Mount Makiling.  The good thing about this resort is they can maintain the cleanliness and good service. You can feel it everywhere. They also offer rooms for overnight. Check in time is 1:00PM and check out time is 11:30AM. Most of their guests are foreigner. You might feel sometimes that you're not in the Philippines because you can't understand the language around you. Food is great but too expensive. A
