Pitstop: Tauhai Garden Beach Resort and Spa

Last October, our team was able to find a resort in Toledo that's cozy and pretty affordable for a 2 nights, 3 days stay. Though not so familiar, Tauhai Garden Beach Resort and Spa didn't disappoint our team of 17.


Our journey to Tauhai located in Pinamungajan Toledo started in South Bus Terminal. We took the bus going to Pinamungajan, and I'm just going to tell you beforehand that there's no air-conditioned bus that you can ride on your way there. 


Since we contacted the owner, Mr. JN Cavada for reservations and instructions and for some other details of our stay, we made it to the place safely after three hours of riding the bus.


If I remember it right, we told the 'konduktor' to drop us at Tauhai and he said it was Tauhan or something. We figured it was the same resort since we arrived to the right place. I think we were charged below P80 each for the bus. 


Now, the first time we entered the vicinity of the resort, we immediately liked it. See the picture on the left? Hehe. I don't really know how to describe the whole entrance thing but it was really nice.







We arranged with the owner that we'll have our lunch by the time we get to Tauhai, but we were tired of carrying our bags so we were led to the rooms. They gave us the freedom to choose our rooms. Here's one of our three rooms with one air-conditioned masters bedroom each. We chose the row of rooms in the second floor, above the dining area. There are beds upstairs.


The place was organized and clean. There's also soap, toiletries and towels available. They also have one large 5 feet deep swimming pool just meters away from the dining area. We had our team building activities in the area where they also cater parties and weddings.

Pitstop: RUVI CAVE

A swimming pool that's cheap.
A swimming pool that's not so crowded.
A swimming pool that wouldn't take two hours to reach.

But where?


Those where my family's considerations last summer. Last minute decision - Ruvi cave. No regrets. Ruvi cave in Tungkop Minglanilla Cebu was just the perfect choice.  


Ruvi cave will not be called as such for no apparent reason. The structure(or design) of the place was truly cave-like. 


The road to Ruvi cave is just across Mary Help Christian School. 



The pool is divided into two - the kiddy pool that's 3 to 4 feet and the other part that's 8 feet deep. But these divisions converge at one point so you can swim continuously from the shallow pool to the deep waters.

Entrance free as of June 2014 is 100 Php and 50 Php for 3 to 10 year olds. Like any other swimming pool, you can bring food but with corkage for beverages and liquor. You can also cook meat there. Just bring some charcoal.
