This is their main pool. its not that big but it is ideal for Adults and kids. extra caution though, since the other side of the pool is at least 5 feet. It still poses a danger to kids.




Here is their main slide. My baby little girl and by brother in law getting ready for the slide of their lives.....or at least the slide for this outing.



This area is ideal for weddings and team buildings since it is a wide place. This is my Little Baby Girl all posed up. I think she wants to be a model when she grows up.......



A relaxing way of enjoying the sea breeze. you can just sit down and enjoy the sea spraying on your face although not all of it. you can wander your mind aimlessly.

Hidden Paradise Mountain Resort

We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversay at a truly hidden paradise south of Cebu, in the wonderful town of San Fernando. The Resort boast not only of excellent swimming pools and cozy cottage rooms but adrenaline rush excitement since the resort has a secret weapon not found in other resorts in the province.................The Zipline and the Monkey Bridge.


This is their 1st pool located below the Lobby. Here is where the cottages called picnic hut at P300. This cottage is good for 3 persons up to 10 people. This is the pool where we spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the summer sun.



Here is their 2nd pool located a few meters from the lobby. you can instantly see it. It has a mock up island at the midde and a slide for you to enjoy.



The 3rd pool is located one area above the second pool. This pool is ideal for children since the water is only waist deep for a normal 2 year old child. the good thing about this pool is that it is a few steps away from the rooms.



These are some of their rooms. you can chose from an executive family type of room or you can chose team dormitory rooms.







If you dont like to swim and would just like to hang-out, try their fishing pool. Maybe you can catch some mudfish. Just beware, this pool may seem shallow to you but from one of their attendants, this fishing pool is 10 feet deep.



After swimming, you can just relax and play billiards or sing your heart out at their billiards hall w/c by the way has a videoke machine. After playing or singing, you can always go to their restaurant and order anything on the menu. The Restaurant is located beside the billiard hall.







On to the main event...............................The ZIPLINE and the MONKEY BRIDGE.

Since Im the oldest of the group and Im the head of the family at that time.................. I go first!

Here I am preparing for my first fly-by on the Zipline. The person in charge of these adrenaline rush activities is "Sensei" Dhong T. Reynaldo (Training Specialist / Program Diretor) and also a certified martial arts instructor. His school is called "KOMJYOKAI AIKIJUTSU ACADEMY".
For practical, no-nonsense martial arts training, call him at Tel. (032) 410-9121.


Then Off to the other side I gooooooooooooooo............... ! ! ! ! !




After the Zipline, There's another fun obstacle course to conquer, The Monkey Bridge.


After crossing the monkey bridge, its pulling yourself up a steep 10 feet cliff so you can go back to the Zipline and go another cycle.

The charges for the zipline and monkey bridge is for one (1) cycle, that is using the zipline and monkey bridge, for a single person that would be P75.00.

But If your with a group or your a certified thrill addict, Then pay P350.00 good for 4 persons and 2 cycles per person or you can have it all for yourself.


Here is my Family posing another yet historic picture for our 3rd wedding anniversary.


Hidden Paradise Mountain Resort truly a wonderful experience. An ideal family outing to relax, unwind and escape the hassles of city life and enjoy the holidays.

Family Outings means not only bonding with your family in some beach or swimming pool. A family bonding can also be going to some of the most scenic sites here in Cebu City and what better place to have some breathtaking sights other than the famous TAOIST TEMPLE.

Family Outings at Villa Teresita Resort

Here are some pics from our informal family outing here at Villa Teresita Resort last Sept. 20, 2009. Villa Teresita is a place of enjoyment for the whole family. As for me, this is my second time around since my family was here last August 2009. Check the pictures. I will recommend Villa Teresita to any family our corporate outing. by the way, this is a pool resort.



This is their widest pool site. guests can only enter or swim in this area if your wearing a swimming trunks or bathing suits. check out the double slides. You can feel the adrenalin rush when your the one sliding in it.




This is one of the nicest views here in the resort. You and your family can take pictures here. It is still located at their widest pool site.





This is their deepest pool site ranging from 8 ft to 9 ft on each ends. guests love this pool since beside the pool are the cottages. Then if you notice at the left side of this picture, there is a shade with some waterfalls effect on it. attire on this site is not that strict especially ladies can wear plain white shirt and shorts. But of course, if you want to show some skin, you can always stick to your favorite swimsuit. Only annoyance here is that some if not all lifeguards mistook some swinsuits to ordinary clothwear.





Here is their 3rd pool site. depth of this pool is at 6 ft on one end. This is a great place to swim if you are exercising since it is a rectangular pool. Their are stationed lifeguards in the middle overlooking the this pool and the 2nd pool mentioned above. Also a very nice location for family Outings.





This is one of their kiddie pools. Villa Teresita Resort has 2 kiddie pools to accomodate children of all sizes (these are the children who don't know how to swim).
Here you can see Daddy and Baby girl bonding in the water.





This is the cottage beside pool no. 2 on this blog. Price is at P250.00 good for 8 persons. Here you can see my colleagues getting ready to have lunch. Pls. take note of our dashing cook with sunglasses at the middle. He is an engineer by profession but also loves to cook. By the way, he is single..........again!




Here is our handsome cook engineer kissing a dolphin statue. As I mentioned above, he is single. But from the looks of it, He is growing desperate. So ladies, this man needs help.........:)


Overall, Villa Teresita Resort is ideal for Family Outings. The Place is great. Lifeguards primary concern are the guests. The Management is very strict but it is for the greater good. As their website says "A Resort by the City".
