She's shorter than Dib yet shares Gaz and Liz's height. However, she's an inch taller than Zim and this infuriates him to no belief

It was an outing sponsored by the company that brought me here. And I would say there’s a massive relief that extra food was my only financial damage for this particular trip, because this is possibly the most overrated resort I’ve ever been in. Online reviews on their Facebook page and on Trip Advisor are confusingly stellar. Well, since I only spent 150 pesos for this, I’m giving this space a leeway on comments below.

THE BRIGHT SIDE The resort is good for a few pictures (or a lot if you’re into it). I have to say the place is pleasant, and green. The infinity pools are lovely. There are other things to do aside from swimming (pool bumming). Zipline and guided treks, among others, are available. The overnight cabins and houses are cute and inviting. The shower rooms and rest rooms are satisfactorily clean. Also, it is only an hour to an hour and a half travel from Dau, so a one-day getaway is possible. Leeway ends now.

THE DARK SIDE The entrance fee is expensive. It was a bit surprising that they charge that much for not much of a place. The other activities can be expensive too. We couldn’t get over the 100-peso hanging bridge. When asked why it was so expensive, they said they’re going to move the bridge for the guests. I presume that it’s not manual shaking.

The ‘waterfalls’ in their waterfall trekking is so disappointing. I’m not even sure if it’s considered a waterfall. The guide told us (when we were already there) that it’s dry during summer. Bummer. We were 11 in that group and had two guides. One was at the front of the line, the other was at the end. While trekking, Manong Front Line didn’t bother to wait for the rest of the group (there were 2 or 3 who went with his pace) until I called him out on it. Yeah okay, there was another guide. Sure. But nope, no, he didn’t know the way. Big WHAT?!!’s were almost visible above our heads then. Because honestly, WHAT?!!

There are only two pools, and they are very far from each other.

The shower room door and dividers are very lightly frosted that a person who is more on the conservative side would find it a hassle.

STRIKE BACK The possibility of me coming back here is almost zero. It will depend on who I’m going with.
