This resort has various things to offer to help you relax, have fun and get away from all the suffocating life in the metropolis. We chose to go hiking to see the water falls. this will challenge your legs and leave you breathless at times but not to worry, once you have your body massaged by the water falls, it...

Owner description:
Visited February 2009. Roughly 30-45 minutes south of Bacolod City. It’s a good idea to rent out transportation for the day, leave early in the morning for Mambukal, and then come back in the afternoon/evening. We rented out a jeepney for roughly 2,000 pesos and brought some food to cook. There’s quite a bit to do here at Mambukal, all on cash basis, with relatively low fees. Per the website: Hotel Rooms, Water Falls, Swimming Pools, Function Hall, Therapeutic Warm Dipping Pool, Picnic Huts, Overnight Cottages, Food Court, Bat Watching, Boating, Wall Climbing, Slide for Life, Canopy Walk, and Camping Ground.http://www.mambukalhaven.com/location.htmlFirst we rented one of the picnic huts and started cooking. After we ate, we checked out the water fall, swimming pool, therapeutic warm dipping pool, boating lagoon and bat watching ….Picnic Huts – Nice views with a stand to grill and a sink wash your hands. The water comes directly from the falls.Water Fall – I’d say about it’s about a 30 minute hike to the first waterfall, over uneven ground and a single pipe railing to hold on to. Certainly a workout, I wouldn’t recommend this to the less-adventurous. There are a total of 6 or 7 waterfalls you can hike to, each one a less safe hike than the one before. You should at least hike to the first waterfall, it will be worth the trip. Bat Watching – You can see the bats hanging down from the tall trees in the distance from just about anywhere on the resort. They have specific ‘bat watching’ signs though, on the route to the first waterfall. Boating – You can rent a kayak for 30 minutes to an hour, good for 5 or 6 people per kayak. Life vests and two paddles are provided. Nice lagoon, lots of fun and good exercise. Swimming Pool – Cool water, large pool area. Like any other swimming pool except that this water is from the falls!Therapeutic Warm Dipping Pool – Like a hot shower on a cold day, but in ‘pool’ form. If you’re not used to the hot water just give your body time to adjust and sink lower and lower …. The resort was lots of fun, don’t forget the suntan lotion. Easily took up a whole day. A must visit if you are in Negros!

I work with flying foxes (fruit bats) so we visited the resort just to see them. The whole place is stunning, and I would love to stay there one day. The flying foxes are also an amazing sight to see, of course.

Nice day in the mountains with friends. Swimming eating talking. Had a great day. Being the holiday period all the pavillions were booked but we were still able to have a bar-b-que.

Came here for a meeting and had several hours in the morning to kill. I hired a taxi driver to drive me and back to the city at 12 noon for 1,000.00 pesos. We got there at 9:15am and decided to hike the falls. That was moderately challenging! I was unable to reach the seventh falls due to time constraints....

We visited the 7 falls and enjoyed the hike. It is quite stressful but worth the effort. The food in the camp was ok, but not great. There were no vegetarian options.

visited here while in Bacolod for one night, attractions are on a small scale, like the kayaking is only around a small man made pond but was good fun and the spa massage was really reasonably priced. they sell swim wear and t-shirts if you need but would suggest you bring along swim wear towel change of clothes and such...

Mambukal was refreshing. The walk to the falls was nice! I just able to reach the 1st falls with my husband and our very nice and informative guide Tito Art Lacson. My husband went on to the second falls and said that it was so nice and relaxing.

There are cold and warm swimming pools in the Resort. If you are adventurous you might want to hike to the 7 falls. We opted to hire a multicab to go up to the 6th falls. There are 7 falls and the tour guide told us that it would take almost an hour to hike up. Its a good thing...

The resort was far from Bacolod City; but worth it. They charge Php50/person entrance. And adds up as you go along- food was readily available at the food court; there were hotel rooms with aircon and no tv. Pools were very clean. Wear something comfortable to do activities. Bring your own towel and extra clothes. There's a spa that's very...
