We visited Burok-burokan Hidden Spring Resort, and it is definitely one of the most popular spots.
As soon as we arrived, the parking area inside was already full.
So we parked at a private space nearby for ₱50/$0.84.
Walking towards the entrance, we paid ₱70/$1.26 per head for the entrance fee, while the kids were free of charge.
To be honest, this is quite a significant change compared to before. I remember that in the past, the entrance fee was only ₱25/$0.42 pesos here, and now, it jumped all the way to ₱70/$1.26... It's quite a huge increase!
And it's very noticeable.
Stepping inside, the first thing I noticed was the sheer number of people.
I have visited this place before, and it was already crowded back then.
Yet the number of visitors this time seemed to have multiplied!
The atmosphere was lively and every single cottage was already rented out.
Every corner was occupied.
People were everywhere... swimming in the pools, sitting down to enjoy meals, chatting with friends and family, and of course, taking countless selfies and group photos to capture the memories.
It was a bit of a challenge finding space at first.
We weren't sure where to place our bags or where to sit because the area was so packed.
Thankfully, we managed to locate our group of friends quickly on the left side. They were able to secure a spot with tables and chairs, which was enough for us to settle in despite the limited space.
Despite the crowd and the price changes, the experience was still amazing.
Mainly because of the water itself.
It's the best feature of Burok-Burokan... the water flows directly from a natural stream. That's why it is so fresh, icy cold, and crystal clear.
Unlike typical swimming pools that rely on chlorine and chemicals for cleaning, here the water is naturally clean because of its continuous flow.
It feels so refreshing on the skin and is perfect for cooling down.
The resort also has 3 different pools, designed for both kids and adults.
There are shallow areas for the little ones and deeper sections for adults.
Because of this setup, even with the large volume of people, everyone still had enough room to swim and enjoy.
Another thing I love about this place is the environment.
It is surrounded by plenty of tall trees and greenery.
This provides excellent natural shade, making the atmosphere cool and breezy.
So even though it was already afternoon... we didn't feel the intense heat of the sun because the trees covered us. 🌳
Burok-Burokan Hidden Spring Resort is proof that natural attractions are still the best.
The combination of naturally cold flowing water and the lush environment makes it a perfect getaway.
Yes, it can get very crowded, and the entrance fee has increased quite a bit from the old ₱25/$0.42 rate to ₱70/$1.26 now, but the fun and the refreshing experience make it all worth it! 👍🏻✨
Until my next place to unwind...
Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
