Our Amansinaya Mountain Resort Daytour Experience

by lakwatserong tatay

It's been quite a while since my last post was published and it was also a backlog trip of mine...^_^....whew... up until now, i have so many travel backlog posts. I just wish i could still do it to update this blogsite....^_^. So, last night, i was able to go to a internet shop and managed to still few hours of mine to check my fb fanpage, fb account, emails and of course this blogsite of mine. So i will start with this trip early this year, where one of my cotrippers manage to get a promo voucher for Amansinaya Mountain Resort Daytour plus Trek to Ambon-Ambon Waterfalls. However, we decided to cut our stay & activities with Amansinaya and add to our day activity with a quickie dayhike to Mt. Batulao (v.v. new trail). So let me start with my story now.....^_^

now entering Amansinaya

Good thing with my co-xplorers, there's always available transportation for our group. Thanks to Coy...so we meet early in the morning in MRT Ayala station going to Laurel, Batangas, where Amansinaya Mountain Resort is situated. The plan for the day is 1st to trek to Ambon-Ambon Waterfalls, then do the activities in Pugadlawin Adventure Camp (Mudslide, Rappelling and Zipline) and of course try their infinity pool in Patio Filipino and after lunch, we will do a dayhike trek to Mt. Batulao..

Entrance to Patio Filipino

We arrive quite early at the resort, and because of that we wait for the employee in charge with promo deals arrangement. So what did i do....of course....photo opps mode...^_^

Souvenir shop @ the Lobby

Patio Filipino is not quite big space for the diners of the resort, however upon seeing the infinity pool, makes us all excited to go for a morning dip...but we choose to do that on the later part of our stay. After engaging with the different activities on our daytour stay. Below are the views around Amansinaya Mountain Resorts's infinity pool, open nipa hut and the lush greenery surrounding and Ambon-ambon Waterfalls.

There's the Ambon-ambon falls, our 1st activity for the day.....^_^

one of the open nipa huts...thanks to our sponsors...^_^

Fast forward, when we get back coming from our trek to Ambon-ambon falls (i'll be doing a separate post for Ambon-Ambon falls), we proceed to their Pugadlawin Adventure Camp, where Rappeling, Mudslide and Zipline activity is available, thanks for the great deal we have...we got this all for free and repeat it all you can...^_^..

1st stop Rappeling...

1st stop was rappelling, only 4 of us tried this tiring activity, melvin, johari and caloy and me, in fact yours truly wasn't able to reach the top...due to a muscle cramps...(palusot lang daw sabi ng mga loko) ^_^

getting our gears ready...^_^

carlo & me...^_^

johari & melvin...

2nd stop....ziplining...all of us tried this, not just once, twice, but actually couple of times....^_^

it's me while ziplining...

And last, but not definitely the last activity on Amansinaya....the mudslide....at first where thinking where is the mud...we realize it after getting the other end of this slide.....^_^

the mudslide...^_^

As far as i remember we stayed for this activity for more than 30 minutes, we really enjoyed it..and tried it for couple of times. Even though it was quite tiring going up and going down the slides takes just few minutes. This activity was worth a try....^_^

yahoooooo......

And before we end our stay with Amansinaya Mountain Resort, of course we will not missed to take a dip with their infinity pool....photo opps all the way......go...go....xploreboyz......

How to get to Amansinaya Mountain Resort:

via Private Transportation: we choose to take the Tagaytay and Ligaya Road route and take the Talisay-Laurel road and after seeing the Laurel Municipal Hall, just ask few of locals how to get to Amansinaya Mountain Resort.

via Commuting: Take a Batangas (Lipa-Tanauan route), take off to Tanauan bus stop and ride a tricycle going to Laurel Jeepney Terminal which is near the Public Market and McDonalds. Inform the driver to drop you off to Laurel Municipal Halls and from there take a tricycle going inside the resort.
