GAP Farming Resort April 2016

GAP Farming Resort 2015

For our monthsary, my boyfriend and I decided to go swimming, because it's summer and to give me lessons in swimming as well. He chose GAP Farming Resort. The resort is just a walking distance from our house. My family used to go here every now and then for leisure when I was still very young. My last visit to the place was in 2012 for our video graphics project.

The resort was built in the 1970's. It's mainly for educational tours. It has a swimming pool, grotto, Japanese cave, fruit trees, orchids, statues and flowers. The resort also has a restaurant, chapel, and a function hall. It's a good place for pictorials such as prenups. It's well known for the Land of Promise landmark. 

Hello, Land of Promise. #PangakoSayo #YnaAndAngelo #hurhur

The gate fee to the resort is Php 50.00 which you will be paying, of course, at the gate. (hihihi) On your entry the first thing you'll see is the VERY BIG CARABAO.

The big carabao and I. You can use me as a reference. Hahaha

The resort also has an exhibit of statues of animals which can be commonly seen in the Philippines. You can ride on them too, like we did. Below are some of them.

Just be careful in climbing on top, you might rip your pants. Hahaha

There are plenty of tables in the resort which are for free. You can nap, sit, or eat. It's a perfect place for a picnic with the family. They also have horseback riding and carabao riding. You can also have a tour at a Japanese cave for Php 10.00.

They also have a swimming pool. The entrance fee to the pool is Php 50.00 per head. We also paid for a small table which costs Php 20.00 for the two of us. They also have bigger tables which are for Php 100.00. You'll have to pay for the pool entrance fee and the table at the cashier located at the restaurant.
