We rented two huts for 8 people located in a remote location. Super cool, but make sure you bring $Pesos$ they don't accept credit cards and they don't accept US dollar. You drive to the end of nowhere and there you are. Last stop on a beat up road and you arrive at this oasis. Very secluded you can also make arrangements to Bbque by the beach in one of the huts. Bring your own Charcoal and food to cook (maybe next time) We just got fresh shrimp & squid (about 5"'s) & they cooked it for us by the beach. Life is rough. I could get use to this. The squid was chopped into small slices w/green peppers and oyster sauce simple, fresh and delicious. The shrimp were steamed with heads on and a large pan of rice.

There is a mid sized pool, there are rooms on the main building with the top providing expansive views of the beach. There are also several cottages that can be used during the day if they are not booked or occupied. The beach can stretch to over a hundred meters on ebb tide. Rooms open to the front verandas where you can set up for al fresco dining. Rooms are clean and has airconditioning. Smart TVs where you can plug downloaded movies. There is an outhouse for communal cooking with gas stoves and sinks provided as well as prep areas. This is important because dining out can only give you the same options at some point. There are also hammocks, outdoor seating and lounge chairs and dining huts by the beach side. There is a convenience store by the corner for small stuff if you forgot something. Staff are responsive and accommodating. Prices are reasonable and competitive.

The bar area is nice and open. There's a pool table as well. They have live music and karaoke on certain days. The bar gets pretty packed. A local hangout. The beer was cold, and stayed cold. I definitely appreciated that. I didn't get to try the food too much except for a few breakfast items. The bangus was great. Longanisa was good. It's the local savory type, not sweet. The tocino was the sweet kind. Corned beef was made with fresh corned beef. The calamansi juice is very sweet. I would stay here again. I'd recommend this place for travelers coming through. Breakfast is included with your stay!

We were asked to get out of the pool at 11pm, only to find out that the other guests were swimming after we were asked to leave. --They will not tell you upfront that there's a corresponding charge if the owner is irked about what you did. --They made up a lot of extra charges for things that are really pointless. Utter waste of time and the staff are very unprofessional. Don't waste your time going there. They don't care about the guests, they only care about how much money they can make. The owner there is very greedy who only cares about how much money he can milk out of the guests. Consider yourselves warned. Just go to other resorts where you CAN get your money's worth, most are just a couple of blocks away anyway. If I could give this place 0 stars I would.

If you are getting a bit restless in Manila, one weekend trip that you will surely enjoy if you…read morelove mountain climbing and hiking is the trek to Mt. Pulag's summit. Mt. Pulag's Ambangeng Trail is a fairly easy climb even for beginners, but what really makes it challenging is the extreme cold and the highly unpredictable weather. The elusive "sea of clouds" that all climbers hope for isn't a guarantee, and many a climber (including myself) has gone up and back down frustrated, because the famed sea of clouds didn't make an appearance. For what it's worth, though, Pulag is such a beautiful mountain and it has a great biosphere - the flora and fauna are just jaw-dropping. I'll have you know that there is a really great tour organizing company that will take care of your needs if you do decide to go up and attempt to summit Mt. Pulag. Edelweiss Tours is girl power to the highest level, as most of the organizers are strong, beautiful and very enthusiastic local women. Teacher Agot, Ate Odel and their team are dedicated to keeping the mountains safe, secure and ecologically balanced, that's why they promote responsible tourism in this side of the country. Teacher Agot and co. will help you with pretty much everything - from the tour permits, the passes, the fees, the tents and the food. All you need to do is muster up the courage and the stamina for the trek and you're all set. Teacher Agot has been doing the trek for several years now, and her list of clients include high profile celebrities and travelers. You can reserve your slots or book a special trip by getting in touch with the following people: Novelynne Sumakey- 0910-798-7005 (smart)/0906-951-4270 (globe)or Agot Baban -0930-363-1218(globe). Teacher Agot and Team Edelweiss also has a guest house in Kabayan, the Baban Homestay, where you can stay and enjoy the view of the misty mountains and foothills of Benguet. On a more personal note, Teacher Agot literally saved my life during my first Pulag climb. It was 2AM and I woke up shivering in the cold because it had rained during the night. Our tent got flooded despite our best waterproofing efforts, and I was almost in a state of hypothermia when my tent buddy roused Teacher Agot from her tent. She got up even though it was an ungodly hour, and tended to me in the mess tent while I warmed up. Her survival tips made the cold bearable, and I was energized and thawed from the brink of real danger in no time. She even sacrificed our store of butane tanks for the portable stove just to keep me warm. She's the kind of dedicated tour master who would even take off her own scarf and give it to you just so you'd stay warm and comfortable. I'd probably be dead by now if it weren't for Teacher Agot and Ate Odel, who kept my morale up and helped me through the night.
