Backpost: Loleng's Mountain Resort

November 2010 - I and then boyfriend went home from Manila to Davao for vacation and to make our engagement formal to both our families. After the meeting, we also spent time with our own families. They went to Mergrande Beach Resort (but unfortunately their photos were deleted by accident) and we went to Loleng's Mountain Resort.

Doves in the park

Loleng's Mountain Resort is located in Eden, Bayabas, Toril, Davao City. According to their website, lolengs.com, the resort is 3, 000 feet above sea level and is 95% man-made with over 100, 000 pine trees spread throughout the 80-hectare land.

We rented a multicab going there and left around 7am. Though it was a cemented road going to the resort, the multicab had difficulty because of the elevation. The view was also very pleasant to the eyes.

The Lagoon

We paid a Php 50.00 entrance fee to have access to their open park and chapel. There's also a lagoon where you can rent a small boat, but it was not available while we were there. There were doves in the park and I could see that the place was well-maintained. It was clean and peaceful.

They also have a small pool whose water came from a nature spring. To swim in the pool, you have to pay another Php 50.00. The water was very cold and refreshing. It would be very nice to dip in their pool during a very hot day.

Loleng's Mountain Resort also has a convention center and some cottages for visitors wishing to stay overnight. All in all, it was a nice experience for a family gathering.
