BATO SPRING RESORT LOCATION PLUS

BATO SPRING RESORT LOCATION PLUS

We pitched a tent instead of renting a hut which was rather expensive but can accomodate groups (good for family getaways/company outings) paid Php150.00 for an overnight tent fee plus Php125.00 each for entrance fee. They made it in a way that it looks very appealing (which actually makes us want to go back) there are a lot of mini falls, your kids will have no problems cause they have made kids area along the pool. The whole place is man made including the whole area for the cold spring. They have swimming pools that runs 24 hours and a cold spring where you can enjoy swimming in icy cold water till 10pm and resumes at 6am. This place boasts a huge land area filled with trees and just nature around you. Other than the freezing Taytay falls just across the mountain, you will find Bato Springs Resort. but for an overnight stay this place is fine. overall this resort has a potential if only the management will improve their facilities and add more activities for their guest. if you're a nature lover you will ennjoy swimming here because the water in the spring is coming from different waterfalls. swimming in the iced cold spring is the only activity here. they have grilling stations and you can also cook therw provided you bring everything u need. they have food in their store and you can order there and they will bring it to your room/cottage but the menu is very limited so its better to bring your own food. the staff of the resort are nice and friendly. the check in time for overnyt is 6 pm while checkout is 4pm. the resort is an advantage for big groups with limited budget because it seems they have no limit in the number of guests that will accomodate in a room.as long as you will fit and pay the entrance fee which is 125 each they dont mind if 20 people will stay in a room with 3 beds which cost 2500 for an overnyt accomodation. it seems the other guests dont have plan to sleep. there is a sound system coming from the other cottages for 24hrs. the resort dont control the noise of other guests. but i didnt realize that we were located in a cottage with other different cottages intended for big groups so i was not able to sleep well because its very noisy. since it is raining staying in a non-airconditioned room is not a problem at all. since we dont have a resrervation we have limited options there are 2 rooms left 1 airconditioned room with 1 bed and 1 room with electricfan that has 3 beds so we just chose the electricfan room since we are a group of 6 and it is more spacious. i thought they dont have rooms for an overnight accomodation but luckily they have. i saw Bato springs and i love nature so i decided to check the place. We attended a wedding at a nearby resort and we decided to spend the night in the area and searched for a place. Luckily the locals are more than willing to help. Overall, a very nice stay although it is much harder to find even though we used Waze, it pointed us to a wrong direction. They have a lifeguard on duty but he's on duty for only a certain time of the day so if you have kids with you, better watch them yourself especially if they plan to still go swimming after 10pm.

The pools only have cold water (unlike in Hidden Valley) but they are very refreshing and you can just relax in the cool water all day and just listen to the birds singing.

It's not five star cooking but it's pretty decent. They also have their own kitchen where you can order food for a reasonable price since the serving is quite large. It is not that expensive, considering that we paid only 5,000php for the air conditioned room and it has a capacity of 12 people (though the people on the room next to ours had the same room and rate and there were at least 15 people in their party) so they are not very strict about that as long as maybe you don't ask for extra pillows and blankets. Went there last week with my family, and I must say it is worth every penny.
