Short Vacation at BAKASYUNAN !

I had an overnight swimming outing with my colleagues from work and my son was so jealous with them and acted as if he is angry with me so when I reached home the day after the outing, I had to make it up with him and he told me he wanted to go overnight swimming as well. My husband and I came to know this resort via internet and looks inviting so I decided to phone them in and book for an overnight stay on the same day

We were from Cainta, Rizal and it took us around an hour and half to reach the resort.  Bakasyunan Resort and Conference Center is located in Sitio Balimbing, Baranggay Plaza Aldea, Tanay Rizal.  The resort is nestled in a hilly terrain with an overlooking view of Manila de Bay and the Mountain range of Sierra Madre.  Now, after the construction of the Windmill Farm in Pillilia, Rizal, it also adds up to the view that you'll enjoy in this resort.

This resort is not only for family outing, since it offers wide range of activities and amenities, it is also best for team building, camping, barkada outing, honeymoon and even pre-nup pictorials as the resort is artistically landscaped plus the natural beauty of the nature that you can't stop your self to take selfie or groupie.

Aside from swimming in their huge pools, which are strategically located in different area of the resort, you can also go horse back riding, have an adventurous ride with an ATV (all-terrain vehicle), play basketball or volleyball, take a dip in their mudslide, try to hole up a birdie in their mini golf course, have a sweet talk with a friend or a partner in a swing, try a carabao ride, jump high on a trampoline, wall climb and reach the top, cross a hanging bridge, have a one on one game in a table tennis, throw a frisbee, get lost and be found on their a-maz-ing race, and of course sing your lungs out with a videoke.  But aside with these that I have mentioned, I heard they also have airsoft and 3d wall graphics, which unfortunately I did not experience nor seen when I went there.

For bigger groups, like a huge barkada, a family reunion, or a team-building event for an office or church group, they have a great activities to offer as well.  When we went there, we were able to see and watch a group having their team building using the obstacle courses that was intentionally created for such events, plus they add up to the event some of the activities I have mentioned above. By the way, I almost forgot, they also have a spacious conference hall that can hold events such as wedding, debut, and conference of course.

I can say that this resort is a perfect place for couple, family and group of people to unwind, and forget for a while the hustle and bustle of city living and be with nature. The ambiance and surrounding is so peaceful and soothing that will help one to regenerate his/her inner mind, body and soul.
