With our summer season becoming more intense because of el ñino, its the perfect place to cool down from those dogs days. For that reason the waters are ice cold which is what I love most about the resort.A few dips in the pools feels like an ASL ice bucket challenge but don’t worry you’ll get use to it. The cottage was decent but sad to say some of the former guest decided to decorate the walls with vandals :(.īato Springs is a man made spring but its waters comes from the mountains of Banahaw. Its a fan room with a queen sized double-deck bed and below is the dining area with a grilling area on the side. Though we only took a daytour in the resort we still decided to rent their Isarog Cottage for Php 1200 just in case some of us might want to take a nap. You’ll find other available accommodations in their facebok page. ![]() Lockers are also available to rent for Php 100 if your on a solo trip and don’t really feel the need for a picnic hut. They have picnic huts for day tour guest and cottages for those who wish to spend the night. If you opt to stay overnight you only need to pay Php 125. Their entrance fee is cheaper than a mcdonalds cheeseburger meal!! For as low as Php 70 on weekdays and Php 80 on weekends/holidays you can enjoy a daytour in the resort. If your a tightwad like me you will absolutely love Bato Springs. Bus fare will be Php 127 (if your taking the bus from Taft Ave.) and the tricycle ride will cost Php 150 per trip. You can then ride a tricycle to the resort from the drop point. Inform the conductor to drop you of in Maharlika Hi-way where you will find Bato Springs’ 5km mark signboard. If you are travelling via public transport you can take a bus from Cubao or Taft Ave bound to Lucena. Here’s a map to help you get there, but of course you can always just use waze □ We left Quezon city around 5 am in the morning and got there before 8am. Bato Springs is located in San Pablo Laguna which is just a few hour drive from metro manila. You don’t need to go far to enjoy a cool plunge. Who wouldn’t? It the perfect weekend getaway. You might be thinking we must really like it there and yes you are correct. ![]() I celebrated my 18th birthday there and its actually our third time to be in Bato Springs. Its almost a decade ago since I first set foot in the said resort. But with the sun during daytime this intense I know I won’t enjoy the beach that much so when we were planning our family getaway we knew Bato Springs is the best choice. For the 2nd time, we let the water flowing form the Falls to massage our back.In the Philippines, dry season or summer as well all want to call it, almost always means a trip to the beach. We almost forgot that the sun was on its highest because the whole area where we stay is semi-covered with lush trees. We thought that the coldness will subside in the afternoon. ![]() There are mini- store outside where you can buy fresh tilapia or for time saving, ready-to-eat food. You can cook your own food because some cottages have a grill facility. Past 11.30am when we return to our cottage for our hearty lunch. The strong current of water showering our back is what we enjoy the most. No need to swim though there is an area where you can swim in 6ft deep. We are happy sitting in a rock while enjoying the natural massage from the Falls. Sorry peeps, the water is freaking cold but its okay we love it. We step down on the man-made cement ladder and the moment our feet touch the water we can’t help but scream out loud. 1…2…3…”lezzzzz go!”, as said by my super excited friend.
