As we live in Taytay, our default go to place is the hills of Tanay, Rizal.
Resorts abound in Tanay, so choosing one that fits our requirement was a bit of a challenge.
We wanted a place with a back to nature ambiance with panoramic view, but with the comfort of a hotel. This led us to "Bakasyunan Resort".
The resort sits on a 15 hectare property with a view of the Sierra Madre mountains and Laguna de Bay.
We booked 2 Carneros Inn. The Carneros are private rooms located a few meters away the main pool. The rooms have 2 Queen sized beds, perfect for a family of four (4).
I am so sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the room interiors. I got this picture from Bakasyunan website instead.
Our room is clean, but was in need of upgrading, especially the bathrooms (the hot and cold shower wasn't working and so is the bath tub).
The air-condition was freezing, which was great since we were there on a humid-hot day.
There is a TV, but channels are limited.
It is a huge resort with facilities for team building activities.
There are also plenty of activities for families to enjoy, so you really don't ran of things to do. My boys enjoyed playing mini-golf.
FINAL VERDICT:
- We managed to have fun. Our boys enjoyed the resort's outdoor activities.
- The price is reasonable. Our package came with Dinner and Breakfast. Food quality is good and servings hefty.
- Since the resort is just 1.5 hours away from our place and with light traffic, we got to spend more time relaxing than travelling.
- Tanay weather gets a bit chilly at night, so expect cold pool waters for night swimmers.
- As it is a huge resort with steep terrain, PWD and Seniors might find it difficult to navigate. If you are travelling with those requiring special assistance remember to mention this during booking/reservations and request for a room closest to the main building.

Interesting place! I love that there are a lot of different activities for the family to enjoy. So, it's okay that there aren't a lot of channels on TV. Will consider this for the summer.
ReplyDeleteBut do the rooms look like that at all in photo? Always interested to learn about vacation/staycation places. I think we have the same standards when it comes to the type of resort we want to go to.
ReplyDeleteWell our room has seen better days, they were clean but were screaming upgrade big time.
DeleteWow. Looks good. At least it is close to your place. I like going to Tagaytay because its was the one that was near our area when I was there. =) It's nice to have a go-to place like that for instant getaway. =)
ReplyDeleteWe have a property in Pillila Rizal, is this resort near there? Minsan kasi napunta kami don pero pag inabutan ng gabi pinipilit pa din umuwi dahil walang tutulugan.
ReplyDeleteAng ganda ng place! I like those facilities they have where members of the family can enjoy playing outdoors.
ReplyDeletewill check this one out when we visit our relatives in Tanay :)
ReplyDeleteThis place looks very relaxing, perfect for a quick weekend getaway with the family.:)
ReplyDeleteWhen we visited last 2016, the place was a bit crowded but the service was still okay. I think the place is really ideal for team buildings.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this place. It looks like a great place to spend a holiday with family.
ReplyDeleteI remember accommodating their press release years ago. And they gave us a discount to use. Unfortunately, when i was arranging for a room, they didnt acknowledge the agreement I had with their manager.
ReplyDeleteOh, thats too bad. I wonder what happened. This trip though was all on us.
Deletewow they lots of activities
