My high school friends and I recently went on an weekend getaway as our summer outing. A few suggestions were made and we had initially thought of going to a beach resort in Zambales but we unfortunately the places we were interested in were unavailable. Iona then suggested Sinagtala Resort in Bataan. Her family had been there before and they enjoyed their stay. It looked really nice in photos so we agreed to spend a weekend there.
Sinagtala is in Orani, Bataan, about 2 1/2 hours from Metro Manila (passing through SCTEX). It's like a resort community; there's the main area with a pool and a variety of adventures and activities that guests can experience.
The Sinagtala Adventure Park is probably the highlight of this resort. There are four activities - Sky Bridge (P100), Sky Zipline (P350), Sky Bike (P200), and Sky Swing (P200). Guests can get an All Ride Package for P750. There is also a Kids Zipline, Paintball, a River Trek, and a Waterfall Trek. I didn't feeling like doing any of these activities but some of my friends tried the Sky Swing and the Sky Zipline.
Visitors can dine in the Sinagtala Cafe, which is the resort restaurant that serves very good Filipino food. There are also many options for accommodations which I believe are owned and managed by different people who work together to help develop the resort. Guests don't need to stay overnight; they can just pay the entrance fee.
We stayed in Labuyo Villas. Our villa could about a dozen people and it was very comfortably and tastefully designed.
There's a main area for 6-8 adults, an attic for about 3-4 kids, and a little space under the stairs that can fit 2 people. This room under the stairs was where I stayed, making me feel like Harry Potter. :)
The dining area and lounge area is quite comfortable and a great place for people to hang out in. This area opens out into a patio with more seating.
There's a lawn shared by all the villas. There is also a small negative edge swimming pool that is perfect for small kids.
In the late afternoon, we took a short stroll to take a look at the resort. We spotted a coffee place that we thought would be a good place to chill but it was close to dinner time so we decided to just keep going around the resort grounds.
We spent the evening playing tabletop games. I brought a handful of my board games that I know the kids and adults could play and enjoy. We ended up playing a few rounds of Splendor and a few rounds of Bagani. In fact, the kids enjoyed Bagani so much that we played one more round the next morning once we had all gotten ready. Once we were done playing, there was still enough time for us to take some group photos at the lawn before leaving.
It was a very pleasant weekend spent in an idyllic place far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The fact that I got to spend it with some of my lifelong friends made it even better.
