As a small treat to my siblings and to have a temporary relief from the heat, I decided that we should go to nearby resort. It's called Riverview Resort and Conference Center and it is just a few minutes away from our house. We have been here before and you would not call it a dream vacation getaway, but it does the job of providing enjoyment to the kids and for some adults as well.
The entrance to the place seems renovated probably to attract more customers, a fresh look is always welcome.
As you enter, the first thing you notice is a large pool and a covered area at the center, this area might prove useful for those who prefer to swim in the shade. Notice there is a rather small blue slide, which spurs water on a scheduled basis (meaning you can only use it when water comes out).
Holding the roof are four pillars, and a pair holds an elevated area. I really do not know its purpose, probably just a venue to jump around the water.
Since the large pool is for adults, the place also provides a kids pool at the back with two feet of water, has a smaller slide and a large mushroom that spurs water. There is also a play ground for kids who want to stay dry while their parents splash each other out.
Cottages are spacious and the resort also has a store to buy goods and stuff. There is also a place where you can grill foods for lunch or you can also buy from the resort as well.
There are also room for those who wish to swim at night, with an array of rooms that provide CR, TV, bed, etc.
Riverview Resort is a very nice budget friendly, easy to reach place if you want to suddenly splash water with your family and friends. Cottages cost at least Php300 to Php500 and up, depending on what you want and entrance fee is a mere 75 pesos per head. Getting to the place is easy as most buses going to Calamba City from Metro Manila pass through the resort. Being budget friendly does have its consequences: the place tends to be filled up during peak season, and sometimes it just gets too crowded, food and other items are very expensive inside. The place is best for budget night swimming, and its also better to have reservations.
