The Cabin Resorts

Good place to have down time. The cabins are cozy. Nice interior even if they just used affordable materials only. They were still able to make it picturesque. One down side is that the toilet in the cabins are pretty cramped. And food is a bit simple for my taste. On the plus side, there are activities that you can do like archery, fishing, rowing, biking. Another is that its in the middle of rice fields which makes it one of a kind destination and experience.

This place is really awesome. Enjoyed and wanted to stayed longer. 1 day is not enough. An excellent place for a quick getaway from the city and this pandemic.

The Cabin Resorts is relatively small than i personally expected. 6 cabins in total with a few couple cabins in the works. ATV will be used just outside of the cabins. (Careful not splattering muds to passersby!) Sunset view by the lake is really nice. Careful staying at the outside dining area at night! tons of mosquito/insects/ frogs will greet and be with you all night. 😬 The bedroom area is at the 2nd floor. Not recommended for tall people. 😅 I think the cabin for 6 can perfectly fit only 4 pax. 6 would be quite tight. And most imptly, NO COOKING! quite unusual of what a cabin should be. You may order food at the bar. 7/10 rating for their food. Not bad incomparison to other resort food. Overall experience 3/5.

Loved the pool, the kayaking, and the Filipino food. I suggest not ordering pizza or pasta. The bathroom needed better cleaning, the shower area was slightly clogged. There's also a lot of mosquitos so make sure to bring a repellant. With the covid situation, it's best to be considerate of other visitors when using the pool. They said there was wi-fi but that was basically non-existent in our cabin. We loved the experience overall but it's not a place we would keep coming back to.

Since I reached the character limit of a single review in Google, I had to create this second review as an addition to the other review. If you want to see my complete review, see also the other one under the same user name. One other minus about the place is their claimed "accommodations." They have 2 fat bikes in the premises, and because of their age and usage perhaps and lack of maintenance, neither is no longer safe to be ridden. One has two broken brakes, and the other has a loose handle bar, so they are accidents waiting ti happen. Their ATV route is limited to a 150-200 meter stretch of a dirt flat trail, which most guests will get bored after the first 10 minutes of usage of going back and fort a couple of times. If you are going to charge and avertise an ATV riding as your activity in a resort, at least have the honesty of telling people that it's only for pictures or instagram posts and not for a fun and thrilling time that everyone will expect on an ATV ride. Then there's the archery range, limited to one target placed at about 20 meters away. And too bad if you miss the target altogether as you'll spend most of your time looking for a lost arrow hidden among the tall grasses behind the target. Each lost or broken equipment cost P200 at the minimum apparently. It happened to us. We didn't get to try to ride the kayak, but if kayaking in a brown water fish pond sounds inviting, then perhaps you'll enjoy it. Oh, and I can't say enough about the mosquitoes although they tell you about this being an issue ahead of time. If you can, bring mosquito killer spray along with mosquito repellant. Bring mosquito sticks (katol), or zappers if you have them since there seems to be nothing currently being done at the resort to try to minimize the inconvenience brought by insects for being in the middle of a farm land with a huge fish pond/mosquito breeding pond at the premise. It was even hard to enjoy the bonfire since you are too busy swatting mosquitoes. And speaking of the bonfire, our unit as well as other unit's bonfire location are about 5 meters away from a street/path light, so it takes away the whole experience of having a bonfire in the middle of on open field when there's a street light near by, almost on top of you. The one positive thing about the accommodations is their fresh water infinity pool. I don't think the water is treated, which can be good or bad, but it felt, smelled, and tasted like a spring water from a fresh water fall. The water is constantly being circulated which explains why it remains fresh despite the number of guests swimming who are not even required to take a quick shower before entering like in most pools. Then lastly, there's the 30 day fully paid reservation policy. We took a lot of risk for paying the full price 30 days out since most people can't predict what will happen this far out especially during this pandemic and unpredictable weather. We lucked out that neither had effected our plan, but had we cancelled after 30 days, they'd only had to provide 75% refund. In closing, this is by no means to try to give the place a bad reputation or discourage anyone from going there. It is only to share our experience and to set the expectations of those considering going there so perhaps they'll have a better time than if they are surprised if their expectations are not met. I actually highly recommend the place if you are into taking breath taking picures to be posted in your social media accounts, or to be in a unique province like environment and experience (i.e.night sky filled with millions of bright stars, ultra quiet with only faint sounds of insects and frogs at night, etc.) that's located not too far from Manila. But for me, unless the cost is lowered to a 3/4 star level, this is my first and last visit to the resort sadly.
