Villa Gregoria Terrace Resort, Nagcarlan, Laguna

When you have small kids to bring with in any out of town activities during summer, you were always limited with nearer locations to choose and shorter distance to travel. We're one of those who were faced with this kind of dilemma. Those who have killer twos and tots will probably agree with me on this. Fortunately, there are spots that are still equally enjoyable nearby. Many have recommended VILLA GREGORIA TERRACE RESORT for an out of town summer day trip. It sits in a breezy, richly filled nature in Brgy. Buboy, Nagcarlan, Laguna. To prove that indeed it's one of the hottest spots in the area, the resort was awarded by Governor Ningning Lazaro as the cleanest and best landscaped resort in Laguna in 2006. You will be greeted at the entrance gate of the resort by no less than its congratulatory banner.

Approximately 2 hrs away from Manila, Villa Gregoria offers a cool nature ambiance to its visitors. The water is really cold. No need to worry though, for it will just counter the hot, sweaty, sunny weather we have these days. Just perfect for a mid-day swimming affair. Living up to its award, the resort is generally clean. Swimming pools and cottages are maintained well. But due to its popularity and affordability (P60 entrance fee - adult, P40 - kids >3 yrs old), expect for a big lot of patrons. There are 5 swimming pools inside the resort. The largest and perhaps the cleanest is the 13 x 33 meters mini olympic pool. There are also fully furnished appartelles and air-conditioned rooms for those who will opt to stay overnight. Likewise, if privacy is what you want for your family there's a pool that can be rented exclusively.

Villa Gregoria is a typical mid range resort. It's not strict in the sense that bringing in of food is allowed and wearing of proper swimming attire is not firmly implemented. If I have but one thing to comment about the resort, it's the latter. In order to maintain the cleanliness of the pool (which is the main reason why people come here for) and for general hygiene, proper swimming attire should be required. I can imagine people plunging into the water straight from the car, huh?! (It might be an exaggeration but hey! still not impossible). Other than that, the terrace resort's clean facilities, well manicured lawns, cool water, nature ambiance and welcoming service are more than enough reasons to pay it a visit.
