There was a great buzz in town as to this place and as such I decided to go there with my family to experience first hand what’s the buzz all about. Was I disappointed? No, no, but rather impressed is a better term.

1. Ambiance: I don’t know about you but if you ask me, there is nothing more soothing or relaxing than to see those lavishly green mountains, breathe those cold, fresh mountain air and play in those crystal clear waters.

2. Pool: It’s what set them apart from other man-made lagoons. The water is free flowing from the mountains meaning it’s continuously changed. It’s cold so it’s perfect for those overworked muscles. Most importantly, it’s clean.

3. Safety: Let’s admit it, you may not be the best swimmer out there but no worries; they have subdivisions of their pools. They have pools for children (roughly 2 to 3 feet), adult non-swimmer pool (3-4 feet) and pools for those with swimming prowess (4 to 6 feet). It would be great if they have lifeguard in but at least they have signs that “children must be accompanied by adults when swimming.”

4. Amenities: They have a bar for those who just want to unwind and drink but not necessarily swim. For the more adventurous ones, they have a zip line but unfortunately we didn’t have a chance to try it because it was unavailable when we got there. They have two swimming slides for the children pool and the swimmer pool. They have cottages to choose from. Great and clean comfort rooms. For those talented folks who want to showcase their singing prowess, yes they have a Videoke machine at the bar for the regular price of Php 5.00 per song.

5. Cost: You may think it’s pocket draining but you’re absolutely wrong. It’s quite the opposite as it’s very budget friendly. Read More: https://rmaceda.wordpress.com/tag/castanas-spring-resort/

Location: Brgy. Balinsasayao, Abuyog, Leyte

Note: Located just along Abuyog-Baybay Road. You’ll see a signboard and colored flaglets along the highway.

Just like with other spring resorts, the water is clear and so cool, perfect for your kind of summer dip. The water came from a small falls situated at a more than an hour hike from the resort. Most visitors actually go there, searching for the water’s origin. Be sure to have with you a local guide.

Notes:

The pool was divided into two parts – for kids and for adults.
You can rent tables and chairs or cottages located near the pool area. You can bring your own food and drinks also. No corkage fee.
Rooms are available for overnight use.

This was a very nice visit. Even tough we had to drive one hour to get there from Tacloban City its all worth it because of the refreshing water on a hot Philippine day was very nice. There is the beauty of the surrounding gardens, it’s also nice to bring food and have a nice picnic. There is actually even a karaoke machine in one of the covered areas where you can showcase your singing skills. Makes for a fantastic relaxing day at castañas Spring Resort .
