Loreland Farm Resort - good and not so good points

My daughter loves the water! She's so elated each time she goes swimming, even if it's just in her inflatable swimming pool, or in hotels. But this year, we made it a point that she experience swimming in a resort. Last Holy Week, we booked in Loreland Farm Resort in Antipolo. We got the aircon room as we intend to stay there for two days. Aliya, my daughter was so excited and I can understand why. I'm so happy we went because her laughter was just priceless. However, since we were there on Holy Thursday, I guess the resort staff got a bit overwhelmed that checking in wasn't organized. Good thing I had us reserved two weeks ahead and so getting a room wasn't difficult. We got the room for three adults since we brought the nanny along. Loreland has improved a lot since we last went there. There are a number of swimming pools though most are quite small. The room was averagely clean, though when we first went inside, there were ants on top of the side table. The walls are also thin that we can hardly sleep... because we can hear the closing and opening of doors, the footsteps and the voices of the other guests every two seconds! However, it was all in all a nice experience for my daughter, and that's what made our stay memorable. Room for triple sharing: Php3,500 Lunch at the Verde Restaurant: Around Php700 (Kare-kare, stuffed squid, rice, bottled water) Dinner: Rice in a bucket, around P60 each. Breakfast: Sotanghon, suman, around Php150 for 4 pax. Snacks: very affordable at less than Php per person depends on what you order at the numerous food stalls inside the resort.
