It was also my first time coming here. A one hour and a half drive from the city proper. It’s a mountainous region, Balamban north of Cebu. I can tell the place to be the Little Baguio of Cebu as the weather and road is somewhat similar to Baguio.
The mountain resort sits on a 15-hectare property that commands a panoramic view of the Cebu, Balamban and Toledo hillsides. But the resort looked like it didn't maintained and managed for a long time now. The pool is dried up and the cottages seem to be a bit unstable now. But then, we still enjoyed the place for picture taking. The scenery and the cold wind up there was still amazing. Just hope that, the owner will take time and money to maintain and improve the place again. It will be nice to have this place here in Cebu to escape the super hot climate of Cebu.
Trivia:
It was then started as a private rest house by the owner Johnny delos Reyes who was also the developer. Johnny delos Reyes is a multi-awarded inventor, high school graduate and a former watch repairman. He was awarded Inventor of the Year by the Filipino Inventor’s Society in 1980 and is a Presidential Awardee for inventing a carburetor for cars and tricycle that runs on gas (LPG). Another popular creation of his is the Canker Sore Drops, a popular remedy for singaw or loas.
