They have small beach pods that you can stay in if you don't want to be in the regular hotel rooms. However, the bathrooms are outside. If you don't want to stay overnight, just go to the bar and grab some drinks while watching the beautiful sunset. Such a wonderful way to end the day. They also have a "wipe out" activity for 700 pesos.It's basically an obstacle course in the water that you can do with your family or friends.

My family and I just came here for a swim so I couldn't really say much about the rooms. The pool…read moreis nice, though. The place is about 20 min away from the city so it is more convenient to drive than to take a cab because the place is kind of secluded and if you plan to leave at night, it would be sort of hard to find a cab. This is a nice place to relax. Not a lot going on around, though.

How to Get There: Ride a jeepney to Valencia (php12/person) from Dumaguete public market with a dropoff point in Valencia public plaza. From there, ride a trike going to the address.

Related Fees: Entrance : php60.00 per person - includes access to the pool area Cottage: php200.00 There are two types of pool area in the venue. The first one is where the pool is filled with water from the river and the other one is filled with chemical treated water. If you choose the latter, you will have access to two swimming pools, the first one just after you enter the premise and the other one just after it, separated by a pathway going down. The second pool area has slides if you're into that. Food is available in the venue's very own restaurant and they are cheap.

It's super affordable at just php200 (cheesy) and php250 (meaty). Soda, water, shakes, juices, etc can also be bought frommthe resto and they're also very affordable.

Don't forget to go down the hanging bridge just after the second pool area. You will have a majestic view of the water flowing from the mountain cascading from one huge boulder to the other. I was a bit hesitant to go to Tejero at first but I'm glad I did. It was all worth it. Try to reserve one day when you're in Dumaguete and visit this paradise. You'll be glad you did.

Finding this place is one of the perks of having family as locals. My brother in law brought us to…read morethis small haven in Algeria when my family went on vacation. The view was absolutely DIVINE! (see what I did there? ;) We were greeted by a modest picture of an open concept structure. However as you draw near, you know that the simplicity was a perfect complement to the peaceful nature it rests upon. The nice breeze and sound of the sea welcomes your approach. What greets you in the lobby is the breathtaking view of the infinity pool leading towards the sea. My son loved it so much he quickly asked if he can jump in, and that he did. He stayed there the entire day I might add. Conveniently the rooms (all 9 of them) were just a few steps from the pool so it was not so hard to keep an eye out for him. The rooms are no suite but are adequately sized for a family of 3. They were clean with everything we needed. Surprisingly the beds and the linen sheets were hotel grade and yes I can tell they are because when you're pregnant you tend to be very picky and observant for such comforts. They even have a common kitchen but hardly used it. There is a restaurant nearby though so food wasn't an issue. Service was superb, staff - friendly, made us feel right at home. Apparently this location is close to adventures and tourist attractions. Kawasan Falls, Canyoneering and Sardine Run were just a few minutes away as we were told. Our intent was to go Whale Shark Watching in a neighbouring town, Oslob. Their staff was very accommodating to help us with arrangements. Oh and their English is superb so no worries in communication. The cherry on top to this beautiful place was the stunning sunsets as the days end. I wish I have words to describe the feeling when you see it but you will just have to be there to see and experience it for yourself. Memories were indeed made.

Had a dinner served beach side with the family and it was one of the best meals during our Phillipines trip. Great place to unwind and feel the cool ocean breeze. While we were here there were not many other guests, it often felt like we had the place to ourselves. A little difficult to get to, hire a driver that knows the lay of the land, I would not recommend driving there yourself if you are not familiar with the area. Overall we enjoyed our time here a lot and I would definitely recommend it.
