The last time that I went to Villa Escudero was when I was still in college. I am so pleased to see that the management was able to maintain the beauty and cleanliness of this resort. We enjoyed the carabao-drawn cart ride accompanied by musicians and singers serenading us with Filipino folk songs on the way to the resort proper.... More

My husband was happy to be transported by the caretella drawn by a carabao to the reception area.. Much more he was amazed of the singing ladies rendering traditional songs as we go along. New to him but not to me. My second time to be here but that was more than two decades ago. The food was great and... More

It is not cheap but it was worth the money. We also had the meal with our feet in the water but for me it was not the (only) highlight. This place is a piece of history and if you take time for a tour you can see the housing area of the staff families, the church of the residents,... More

We only spent one night here but I wish we would have stayed longer. The garden cabanas are very quaint and spacious. No a/c but you really don't need it. We too did the bamboo rafting and bought bamboo poles for dock fishing. A really fun and unique activity. The lunch under the waterfall is a cool experience but really,... More

What I cant understand are pinoys who didnt read in the internet what villa escudero can offer then whine a lot and cry... More

We (Family with one 3 year old) needed to kill a day whilst in Manila. I had found this Resort whilst searching on the internet. It takes approx 2.5 hours drive from Mall of Asia along the SLEX (Express). We left the hotel around 6:40 am to beat the traffic. Our new hire car with driver soon had us their... More

I think it needs to add some swimming pools. Slides can't be utilize (don't know why). But apart from that, all things there are so good. A premier destination for relaxation.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days. It is a bit uncharacteristic of us considering this place is isolated, but it was fabulous if you want to get away and relax. You have options for some activities like rafting on the water, carabao (water buffalo) cart ride around the grounds, cultural show (which was very well done!), museum... More

If you are on a tight budget and could not afford Hidden Valley, then Villa Escudero is a place to go. Be serenaded while taking a tour on a carabao cart and see the century old museum. Take a splunge in their pool and have a buffet lunch on the running water beside a mini dam. Watch the cultural show... More
