Pintô Art Museum, located in Antipolo near Metro Manila, features contemporary and native art displayed in galleries within beautiful mission-style buildings surrounded by lush gardens. The museum's six impressive galleries showcase some of the Philippines' best contemporary artists, while outdoor art installations and an indigenous arts wing offer additional viewing opportunities. Visitors can also receive authentic Kalinga tattoos.
Worth it to visit as they have a bunch of art pieces and aesthetic views as well. I thought it was just a small area when we visited as the entrance looked like a simple house (especially that it’s inside a subdivision) but there’s a bunch of areas you can explore once you get inside.
There are loads of stairs to go through aswell so I encourage to energize yourselves before venturing out in the museum. It felt like we only got to explore around 1/4-1/2 of the museum but there’s still more art pieces that you’ll be able to see.
We were also told to wear face masks upon entering the vicinity but allowed us to remove them when taking pictures.
They also offer discounts for PWD and students (just show your student/PWD ID).

I was surprised that it was so easy to get to. Getting there tho, we had to park some ways down so it was a challenge to go uphill where Pinto's entrance is at. So if you're not fit (I'm not fit either so it is manageable) you've been warned.
It was after 12 noon when we got there so we had our lunch at cafe Rizal. Food was good! We had a couple of pastas and a pizza and a glorious ripe mango shake. The drink really helped cool us down considering it was a humid summer's day.
Generally, the place is awesome and it was so relaxing. The artworks are great! They have a number of beds, chairs and sofas all over the place that are very inviting!
Just make sure you have bug spray on because we got bit quite a lot. Oh and don't miss the forest gallery. It was super cool and easily passed on by most visitors because the place is dark but seriously it's awesome!😎

It was nice and huge place. It's better to be here by weekdays and be sure it's sunny day so you can enjoy the view outside. Parking is hassle free. Baggage counter is provided as big bags are not allowed inside including helmets and any other sharp and fragile objects. Maps and do's and dont's are also given. Less number of people visiting when weekdays so we did enjoy taking photos. There's cafes and restaurant if you like to dine. Please respect rules and restrictions like turning off flashlights, avoid touching the materials and taking off shoes when needed.

1st time I went was 2016 when I was still in college. Really glad to see that they are flourishing and haven’t stopped expanding and adding more features, galleries, and artworks (and still continue to do so!) 250pesos is super worth it and 10/10 would recommend to everyone and not just art lovers! Definitely a feast for the eyes and soul, there’s so much to look at that you would double take and question yourself if you’ve seen a certain sculpture or painting.
The only con is they close at 6pm so definitely would recommend to go as early as 10am when they open!

The place is really nice.kind of Santorini inspired..places in Greece, all white and lots of garden area. The art collections are fine. People who loves art will appreciate. Not much for kids because the landscape is elevated with lots of stairs. The whole 7 gallery are well ventilated. Their cafe is fine though a little expensive for me, but food taste good at least.

It's like an art gallery hiding inside a resort. The buildings are very aesthetic. The exhibits are beautiful, intriguing, and engages the mind.
If you have your own vehicle, be prepared to hike up to the museum after parking.
Would certainly visit again to take pictures or discuss interpretations about certain artworks. Would also like to try the restaurants inside the museum next time.

Stunning art gallery on the hills on the outskirts of metro Manila. We loved the architecture and the way that the buildings and art are one with nature. Would definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for a tranquil retreat from the bustling city.
Samantha Coates — Google review
Definitely worth a visit out here if you are in the Manila Metro area.
The grounds are absolutely stunning with a strong Mediterranean feel and style of buildings. It was hot outside in the sun but inside buildings within the shaded gardens it still felt cooler.
The art work within the collection was impressive and great to get a feel of local and important Philippine Artists. There is a variety of styles and mediums within the collection so you will get a good appreciation.
Recommend getting there right when it opens. It will be quieter. A school group came in and as the guides gave them a good overview the kids were much more interested in taking social media photos vS appreciating the art.
Side not … if you are look for a gorgeous location for a photo shoot this is definitely a good place for it.

Pinto Art Museum is a must visit. We enjoyed everything about it. The curators are very knowledgeable about the arts. Also Cafe Rizal's food and mango shake is unforgettable.
April Joy Domingo — Google review
It is indeed a great place to visit. Lot's of beautiful scenery and different types of artworks. We came here for just sight seeing and pictures so we got tired really quick. But if you are an art enthusiast maybe you will appreciate this place better. The only downside here is parking, it is quite far from the museum. They also collect entry fee in the village and another entrance fee to the museum. So plan your visit accordingly.

The place is a 2 hectares of pure Art! You'll get tired before you finish everything. All artworks inside is curated by well known Filipino artists. It has a cafe and restaurant inside and they serve Pinoy, Italians, and some Mediterranean inspired foods too. Not cheap but the food is well prepared and ingredients are high end. Overall, it was a great experience together with my Wife. The place is highly recommend.

Appreciate fine art, lush greeneries and delightful food in the cafe.
Enjoy the picturesque spots for taking selfies, and the comfy daybeds for relaxing too.
This museum is great for romantic dates or outings with family or friends.
Bring a fan and be patient in looking for a parking spot if visiting on a weekend though. And of course, prepare your vaccination card and P250 for the entrance fee.
Marie — Google review
When we went here years back i recall the entrance fee was less than a hundred. Now I think it's 250 which is fine since there are a lot of galleries you can visit. Art is leaning more towards modern contemporary. Really creative people who created and curated the pieces. Food is also amazing at their restaurants. Orders just take about 30-45 minutes (Which they advise you on before ordering). Overall another great experience. 💯

The artwork at this museum is stunning and captivating. The location is home to a sizable but thoughtfully curated collection of contemporary artwork.
They are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday–Sunday and close on Monday.
Walk-ins are allowed at the Pinto Art Museum, and no reservations are needed. In addition to pets, outside food and drinks are not allowed.
Adults must pay 250 pesos to enter the Pinto Art Museum; students with a valid school ID must pay 125 pesos; and elderly citizens and people with disabilities (PWDs) must pay 200 pesos. Children under the age of three are free. Please take note that all costs, charges, and rates are subject to change at any time.

Entrance fee of 250 pesos (adult). They will also give you a map (you’ll need this!). There are more than 5 galleries varying in sizes and with diverse art work. I find most of the art pieces too dark for me but many are interesting. The place is not air conditioned so it’s best to visit when the weather is cooler. Be prepared to walk a lot and climb a flight of (many) stairs. There is a warning on the map that due to the terrain, it might be difficult for senior citizens, person with disabilities, and person prone to stroke to go around the area. Heed this warning because I thought I’m gonna get an asthma attach (I live a sedentary lifestyle so I think that’s why) The entrance/exit of commuters is different from those who drive their cars. Street parking available around the area :)

I understand the hype that this place has been receiving because honestly it was really as beautiful as marketed. The artworks are not the ones I have seen before. The sceneries are perfect for capturing great photos. However, what captivated me the most was the breathtaking ambiance and awe-inspiring though a bit creepy artworks. Truly this is a place that everyone should try to visit. 10/10 I would visit again

Met up with long time friends so the time was spent chatting in a round Table near one of the Gallery #2. Lunch was from Cafe Rizal which we enjoyed both in taste and serving sizes. A walk inside the Arboretum made sure we burnt off that sumptuous lunch and where we also enjoyed the soft breeze. Late afternoon, we had coffee, slices of pie and pudding. All good. Worth another visit next time to see more of the art exhibits

We went here on a Sunday after our mass in Antipolo Church. They have street parking, it's best to go early after the mass. Though even there's a lot of people going inside, it is easy to take pictures without the crowd as there are a lot of galleries. The place is aesthetically pleasing, and it is not that hot even we stayed until lunch time. Definitely going back! No need to buy tickets in advance.

Well curated art, interesting gallery layout and architecture. Entrance/ticketing system is a bit weird, but appreciated the student discount. Though I don't agree with the political leanings of the museum owners, I like their artistic choices haha.
Expected it to be much hotter, but there were an okay amount of fans throughout the exhibits, and it was decently ventilated as well, with many open halls and large windows. Only concern is the maintenance and upkeep of the art, given the heat and environment.
Parking is just streetside, though there is a small entrance fee at the gate of the subdivision.

One of the best avantgarde museums in the world. Not only expositions but the whole ambience. Huge, interesting, beautiful, unique design. Access is hard but it's the part of adventure. NOT suitable for people with disabilities! Very nice restaurant though not cheap.
Overall - absolutely worth a trip. Not only from Manila but from any part of the world.

Strolling through the vast museum space can be a bit tiring, given its enormity, but honestly, the overall museum experience here is top-notch.

Date visited: March 8, 2024 12pm [not crowded]
Ticket price: ₱250 [students, PWD and senior citizen discounts are available]
Modes of payment: Gcash/cash
Bags: (big) bag packs 🎒 are surrendered/deposited near the entrance, so we can enjoy roaming with less hassle.
I highly suggest to bring water, fan and powerbank.
I also recommend to wear your most comfortable clothes but, ofcourse you may wear your OOTDs by all means.
It took us half a day to finish all the galleries.
This place is not PWD friendly, expect a lot of stairs. ⛰️🏔️
Security is strict and DSLRs are not allowed.
Picturesque and instagrammable everywhere.
One of their staff offered to take a photo of us is a plus. ❤️
A wide variety of paintings, sculptures and arts. Loved the uniqueness of every artwork, and the feeling that the artist wants to convey.
We spent the whole afternoon exploring and appreciating the arboretum.
Parking: Ample space for parking
If you’re going to use Grab, expect to pay ₱20 before entering the village.

Local gem, went there to visit before our dinner at Vieux Chalet.
If going on a trip to Antipolo, a tour of Pinto Museum is one of my top recommendations.
This place has some very nice architecture, interiors and of course the paintings and sculptures. Lovely garden for a walk around. Particularly enjoyed sitting under the bamboos.
If your nature lover, you might consider this place. The park features a diverse range of ecosystem which includes forest,rivers and waterfalls. it is also home of variety of wild life such as birds,monkeys and lizards.This is great destination if you want to experience beauty of nature while supporting sustainable tourism!.

A hil hike is more interesting but still short 35 minute , hardest trail. This adventure is more for easy family park walk , for hikers looking more intense hike it is not worth the time going here and back , 5 hour total travel tike by car.

Great place to get away from the city! Only about 1.5 hours away but when you're there it feels like a totally different world. Hardly any cell signal, but that can be a good thing too. The trail hike was harder than I expected, the river walk was refreshing!

Mount Purro Nature Reserve: Escape into Nature Near Manila
I recently escaped the city buzz for an overnight stay at Mount Purro Nature Reserve and found it a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. This sprawling reserve near Antipolo offers a refreshing change of pace, with lush forests, a cascading river, and a focus on eco-conscious hospitality.

Had a disappointing experience, we went to the resort to mainly go up the mountain as it was included in the package. Took the 5 am hike, woke up at 4, came down at 4 40 when they said be ready at 445 in the lobby. Area was pitch black, we waited 2 hours then the guards told us the tour probably won't happen and the next one was 10am. When we went to see the receptionist at 8 he said the guy called in sick?? Why not let us know if that was the case to begin with? Asked for a refund for a wasted night and he said it's part of the package so they cannot refund us....... The same thing happened the next day, they told us the guide will come pick us up from the room. We woke up at 4 am turned the lights on opened the door at 4 55 and 5 10 and no one was there so we went back to sleep at 5 30 to not waste any more time. Came down and they said we missed it?????? Seriously disappointed in the staff. When you ask for something it should be delivered, they can come wake us up if we were sleeping... It's a contract. 2nd thing was the food, dinner is good but a breakfast for 350 pesos and you get 1 egg 4 pieces of bacon and 4 piece fruit salad was disappointing. You can buy this anywhere for around 100-150 pesos. Lastly the staff was very shy which should not be the case when you work in a customer service environment. Overall the place was nice but extremely pricy for the lack of service, location, activities and communication from the employees.

Great place to stay. Really enjoyed the nature there, the ambience, the temperature is sooo cool and refreshing even without aircon on their casitas. Great food too ( no menu available here so you just have to eat what they serve but it's all sumptuous naman)! Though cash basis lang sila and we were not informed before hand kaya ang hirap ng payment. So better prepare cash specially if you only paid dp before coming. No wifi din since you really have to disconnect to connect (but it's a good thing, you have time to meditate and enjoy the nature) only Smart Network works. Be sure to bring a set of slippers and hiking shoes for the pre-activities.
Overall, we enjoyed the place ❤️

It was a fun and nice calming nature experience. Good food really heavy meals. Nice ambience cozy rooms feels like natures home. River trip is outside the vicinity and you go for a walk in the community. Hiking is inside the area a lot of uphill steeps. Has a play area for kids. Game room with small court, table tennis, billiards (table and taco is in bad condition.) Has a nice pool to dip in. Many cabanas and places to chill n relax. We got the couple package for ₱5400 casita room w/ bfast and lunch overnight. Overall its a good place to be with nature and peaceful environment. Staffs are also friendly. We had to problem at all. They had bonfire at night too.

Who would have known that you don't need to travel far for a great relaxation.
I love the place soo much. Very homey and nature-y.. All staff are friendly and accommodating.
I like it most that you can just sit and relax to any open huts and just be.. Then appreciate the birds chirping, wind passing through the trees, the sound of the small river flowing, then at night you'll hear crickets, feel the cool breeze and if you're lucky you'll spot fireflies around. Very relaxing!!
The food selections are also superb! No need to worry about getting hungry at all! (though all meals are pre-booked)
The forest hike is a must do where you can get the chance to witness sea of clouds, really amazing! River trek as well is an extra-ordinary experience! you will literally walk in the river. The balsa ride gives you the best view of the mountains.
Mount Purro Nature Reserve is truly a hidden gem that everyone needs to visit to appreciate more our nature and also an eye opener on how to be more pro-active in helping save our environment.

One of the best nature reserve within the Rizal province the few draw backs is that the service in the dining area are not so organized. They keep missing our pre order meals and seems so confused about the numbers of meals they serve us. We booked for 17 adults and 2 kids. If we didn't ask if the breakfast includes coffee or hot chocolate they won't even serve this drinks to us. The trail tour consist of 2 tour guides one leads the groups and one is the sweeper. The sweeper dissappear during our walk with 3 of the ppl in our groups and they have no form of communication except one walkie talkie we have no idea what happened to the other group. We find out that they only have one walkie talkie and most of them are broken. In case of emergency there's no way to communicate between the 2 tour guides. Other than that the place is very cozy and relaxing.

This is the place to be if you want to commune with nature. There are 4 hiking trails of varying difficulty. However, some parts have been eroded due to the heavy rains. Safety ropes need to be put in place.
There is a free river crossing that comes with your entrance. The nearby river (about 15 min walk) is NOT recommended. There are road hazards going to the river and the water is murky
Note: There is no wifi nor mobile phone signal so better inform sigbificant people about your whereabouts.

I give it an additional star for its purpose but other than that, they should really train their staff better.
My chief complaints would just be about their food. Although their food is delicious and comforting, I find their juices a little too sweet and vegetables a little too salty. My family and I would dilute more than half of the glass with water just to thin out the sweetness of the juices. And I'd eat 1 piece of sayote at a time with a tablespoonful of rice just to reduce the saltiness of the dish. They're also pretty clueless about what vegetarians eat and don't eat. I was asked if they can serve our vegetarian with fish, or even chicken. They're probably just making sure but it's a stretch.
On a positive note, it's pretty easy to book their activities. They just need to work on their communication skills instead of replying to me with "We will find out if Activity A will happen when you get here." Not everyone's as spontaneous as those without kids.

We rented tent space for our trip. The view inside is calm and tranquil. The spacing is not crowded and there is nearby comfort rooms with shower and bidet. The water is not heated though. The light is just enough to navigate at night.
Food is average but multi-course for dinner, the breakfast was much more tasty. Staff were responsive and helpful. The hikes and river adventure was fun. You NEED sandals or hiking shoes as it is slippery and muddy. Ok for beginners as long as you pace yourself.
Antipolo Cathedral houses a 17th-century wooden statue of the Virgin Mary which attracts pilgrims. It is a popular destination for those who seek to have their vehicles blessed, with ample space to accommodate parishioners even during the pandemic. The church also offers rosaries in their shop and requires registration and a receipt for vehicle blessings, which take place at 7:30 AM. Overall, Antipolo Cathedral is a good location with a nice atmosphere for worship and devotion.
People who wants to have their car blessed mostly visits this church, like we did few years back. They have spacious area where the parishioners can hear mass even with kids most especially during pandemic where we have have to obtain social distancing.

Going to Antipolo is not complete without visiting the church- the Antipolo Cathedral or National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage.
Very nice church, solemn. The altar is very magnificent also and you'll feel the rich culture and history of the church. The saints (santos) and angels that guards the church will give you a feeling of peace and comfort.
The church's architecture is to be admired also especially the domed ceiling and stained glass windows.
Best to visit on a weekday because a lot of people go to this church.
Edel San — Google review
An advise: Bring patience along with you when you will try to bless your vehicle. Lines may be long, especially on Sundays.
Be early and don’t fall with sales talk outside (unless you’re not on tight budget) the church grounds. Don’t be provoked with the actions and don’t make eye contact with the barkers.
There’s a shop inside where you can buy religious items.
There is also a mini museum and access close to the venerated image of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje. You can access it at the left side (when facing the church) behind the altar and sanctuary area.
And I forgot, they have one of the cleanest and most well-maintained public comfort rooms in the land! I hope they maintain its cleanliness in long term.

Worth visiting if you want to get up close to the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, or for a moment of prayer and serenity despite the crowd. It's the first International Shrine in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia, one of the only 11 around the world.
Tip: during May, best to go there early in the morning, and catch the 5AM or 6AM Mass, as the crowd and traffic is very much manageable. Most will flock on the first and last Sunday of May, so if going on a weekday and at an earlier time is possible, then do so.

Blessing of vehicles. Thank you. Good location. Nice church. We also buy rosaries in their shop.
Ask first inside what to do first. They need a receipt that you register for blessing. 7:30 AM is the exact time of the blessing.

One of the tourist destinations in Antipolo especially for catholics. They have scheduled masses and confessions everyday. The location of the church is very important not only to the heritage of the city but also to the followers and devotees of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. The wooden image of the Blessed Virgin was last seen on the top of a tree called Tipolo. The location of the tree is where the Antipolo Cathedral is standing today.

We went here for motorcycle blessings, a great place. The earliest session is at 730am. You just need to donate at their cathedral office just right side of the church.
Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Diocese of Antipolo is a stunning church known for its beautiful architecture and tranquil atmosphere. Situated on the mountainside, it offers a serene retreat for spiritual contemplation amidst an urban forest, providing cool air and a peaceful setting. The church's polyhedral shape and open-air design with large fans on the ceiling create a comfortable environment.
Not the common church that is crowded. The church is designed to allow open air and for visitors to appreciate the greenery. There is hourly mass every Sunday, rest rooms, parking, and security to direct you.

Beautiful church that is perfect for weddings. Reminds me of a greenhouse with the open styled building and glass ceilings. Outside, the church has multiple food and beverage stores that u can enjoy after attending a mass or wedding. Parking lot is roadside and is advisable to arrive early if ur attending an event so u can park near the church.

Review dated Dec 22 2021.
Pleasantly surprised. Beautiful church. Polyhedral in shape Open air. Well ventilated with large fans on the ceiling. A large image of Jesus on the crucifix hangs from the ceiling much like the UP chapel. Adequate comfort rooms. The place is situated on the mountainside Westside facing metromanila. As such the church sits in the middle of an urban forest. The air is cool because of this. If you are looking for an open air church then this is highly recommended. The wedding I attended made use of the open space underneath the church for antigen testing.

I was supposed to pick this church for my upcoming wedding but the slots were full. Anyway, I was able to see it in person when I attended a Christening of a friend's daughter. The place is well-lit, good for weddings where one would require a lot less Saints present. Unfortunately, since it is an almost open-Church, it could get crowded during a wedding because strangers can come in. Before the Christening, there was a wedding that day. There was less privacy for the newly weds because it got crowded immediately to prepare for the Christening. This Church has good ventilation. All in all, it's pretty good.

The place is an open air church, you can hear the birds chirping. Accessible by the road, street parking only. There are available local food stalls across the road. The place could hold an event in the basement like a small reception.

Solemn place for Sunday mass.
Perfect for weddings. Sunday Mass are scheduled 7AM 9AM 10:30am 4pm 5:30 pm and 7pm.
Morning Sunday Masses are usually full of people compared to the afternoon sunday Masses.
Pay Parking inside the area (php 20.00) are limited only. While parking outside (alongside the road) is UNLIMITED but its very far to walk to the church
There are food and drinks kiosk available outside the church.
Hinulugang Taktak is a national park that serves as a historical shrine and is known for its majestic waterfall. The serene and natural setting of the park is considered a protected landscape by the Rizal Provincial Government and the DENR. Standing at 21 meters high, it currently does not allow swimming but visitors can still appreciate its beauty and take pictures.
Interesting place. A Zumba class was being run when we got here. Pool was closed, but the falls are very photogenic. Be warned though lots of steep steps down and back up.

Nice waterfall attraction near Metro Manila. Good place to visit for a short time.
It has a parking space outside of the entrance.
As the place is on soft reopening, the entrance fee was free. Feel free to donate any amount to their donation box.
You cannot swim beside the falls. Hopefully, in the future, they would be able to make the place capable for swimming.
The place also has a rock climbing wall.
Chris Lasa — Google review
Hinulugang Taktak is still under renovation so entrance is free. I think it will cost P30/adult once fully operational (free for seniors and PWDs).
The Canopy Walk and Spiderweb are a great addition to the swimming pool and will definitely be a hit once they open.
There's an elevator with a scenic view of the falls which can be used by those with mobility concerns.
I'm glad the falls does not smell like sewer anymore so we had a short but wonderful time exploring the place. There are places to sit and eat, just be mindful of your trash. No stores inside though at the moment.
The staff are so nice and accommodating. There's a parking area along the road too. It would be a nice place to relax and breathe some fresh air.

It's nice to visit Park.
Water fall was smelling stingy and location was good tho for kids and fully family, it's quiet good place picnic 🧺 and celebration 🎉
They have a lot a activities to do inside the park like trekking on mountain, spider web climbing and so on.
Swimming pool activities is looks fine and have a good security for kids.
Timing to close the activities and park is 4PM so before going there you need to check the schedule and on weekends it's full of crowd.
In my opinion better to choose the weekday if you have time.
Everything is secure and very guarded so that kids and all person are enjoy the activities safely and this place is also good for taking pictures.
They have a maintenance cleaning day on Monday and ticket 🎟️ price's are cheaper it wouldn't effect on your pocket.

During the time we went just this sunday, we were able to came in for Free. Although, normally there would be an entrance fee.
Place still nice to visit for a quick nature trip. Wide area surrounded by trees, also the rivers and the Falls. Relaxing and nice place to rest. Like a big nature park.
May need more proper maintenance on some of the places, but overall, all good.

Very enjoyable park just Close to Manila.
Many activities to do here like wall climbing. Unfortunately you are not allowed to swim in the waterfall but its very picturesque so at least you can go here to take pictures and enjoy the day.
Entrance is free but you need to have your ID with you. Outside the park theres some vendors and small shop where you can buy water and some food. Bringing your own snack and food would be better. You can spend whole day here just relaxing with friends or family.

One of Antipolo’s iconic landmark. Entrance is free, all you need is to register at the entrance. Parking is available outside. Good place to unwind and spend quality time with your friends and family.

The last time I was here was ages ago and I think it was the peak of summer. The falls was literally just trickles of water. So when I saw recent reviews, I thought it was a good time to stop by.
There was no entrance fee. At the moment, they just seek guest to log and then throw in donation for the maintenance of the place. There were groups of people, but not hoards of them. One can still find a hut or cabana to rest in.
The falls, though picturesque, reeked of sewage. Physical trash is absent but sludge and detergent is evident. The park is kept tidy. The pool is still closed, understandably, and the rock climbing and suspended web are temporarily off limits.
Still worth a visit.
Raphael Hizon — Google review
The great thing about this adventure park is that it's free. I'm not absolutely sure about the recreations (wall climbing, etc) if they are free too but I am pretty adamant that it is. Don't go there during rainy days though, as they suspend the recreations for safety purposes.
Nonetheless, the park is a must-visit for bonding purposes. May it be family, friends, or officemates or just your significant other.

National park located in Antipolo, Rizal. Outdoor activities such as wall climbing, tree traverse and spider web available inside. Registration upon entry, public pool available inside, however the falls has a stinky smell and dirt bubbles can be seen. CR needs more maintenance and street parking is the one only available. Close every Monday for maintenance.

Pros: the area is clean. With falls and some activities such as spider web, wall climbing and pool. Very nature and just pay for the entrance (php 100 per head)
With open elevator for the PWD and SC.
Many pasalubong area
Cons: unpleasant smell coming from the falls.
Limited parking but can park on the side of the road.
Limited table if you want to a lunch here or stay.
Overall: Good but not the best pasyalan area near the metro. A quick escape is okay.

This public park in Antipolo is very spacious and clean. It's also family, kid and senior friendly as there is an elevator that will bring you down to the falls without having to use the stairs. You can also enjoy some outdoor adventure activities such as canopy walk and spider web for free.

People are so friendly and always ready to assist, the best thing is everything is free, all the activities and even the pool. Been here multiple times already, can't wait to go back again.

I have read about Hinulugang Taktak since my childhood days but it was only recently that I came to see it. Infrastructures have been developed which make it easy to view the falls and take 'instagramable' photos. The staff mentioned that there is an upcoming project to solve the pollution and bad smell of the flowing water.
Hinulugang Taktak is open to public with free entrance. There are also other facilities like spider web, canopy walk. There are safety protocols observed and guests are provided safety briefings before they can use the facilities.
There are also picnic areas.

Casa Santa Museum is a diverse exhibition hall displaying an extensive assortment of Santa Claus sculptures and other Christmas-associated things. The museum features a small but impressive collection of collectibles showcasing the legendary figure, although some objects require cleaning. Additionally, there are battery-powered playthings hanging from the ceiling that appear to be still. Food and beverages are not allowed inside the premises.
Great collection, labeling, and display design. We thoroughly enjoyed it. More sineage needed after entrance to go to counter where museum admission would be paid for.

Very lousy customer service 👎👎👎
I called up their landline +63285843199 on Oct 30 around 9:30AM and a certain May answered the phone. I clarified about the location, landmark, operating hours and cost considering that it would be 8 persons who were going to visit the Casa Santa. She was excited to tell me this:
Ma'am, tamang-tama meron kaming promo ngayon for the entrance fee: 5 pax + 1 free. I responded to her: Oh great! Pupunta kami dyan mamaya. 1st time namin at mangagaling pa kami ng Taguig City.
After getting all the aforementioned details, we decided to go to Casa Santa, Rizal. We arrived there past 3PM and we looked for their Admin Office. We had a hard time looking for their office where we could pay for the entrance fee. Finally, we tried knocking on one of the doors there and staff Beverly spoke to us. She told us that the promo 5+ 1 ended and no longer valid. We got very disapppointed when we heard it from her. We still insisted on the promo info provided to us earlier and told her that we travelled all the way from Manila. Despite the major inconvenience this had caused us, Beverly told us that they could not give us the promo, only the regular fee. What made the situation worst, she was not apologetic at all and even reasoned out that the staff who answered the phone was not privy to the details. As if the staff was not part of the company she's working for. She was inconsiderate and insensitive! 😔😡

Totally worth the inexpensive entrance fee of ₽50 per person. The caves are full of stalactites and stalagmites dripping water from the ceiling. Various rock formations and intriguing lime deposits shows mystical figures. There’s a face of Jesus, resting Jesus, Mary and child, and the Holy Spirit - all in the limestone.

I just searched on google maps on what places to go to in antipolo and this is one of the most searched place so we decided to try. At first we did not know if this is the right place because the road was not paved and there were no people in the entrance. We paid 50 per person and the tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. A must see in Antipolo ☺️
Beatrice Rose Harpst — Google review
The nearest cave accessible from Metro Manila for aspiring spelunkers.
To get there from Marilaque by private vehicle (there were no public transportation accessible to the attraction spot, thus don't expect to find one), once the large limestone mountain is found, turn right to Puting Bato - White Cement Road and expect the extreme slow travel for 23 minutes along the sharp rocky road, since the roads were undeveloped for years.
If coming from Hinapao - Tagbac Road from Sumulong Circle, expect the uneven road and steep ascent to the site.
Parking is limited, and can be parkrd in the soil near the wild trees and shrubs in front of the entrance.
The entrance fee is P50.00 to be paid to the locals. Wooden cottage is available.
It takes a 10-minute stairway walk to Inday Nelly Delens Cave.
The interior cave was so awesome, as I see the pure white Stalactites and Stalagmite formation. The cave was now lighted inside by a bulb. It was wide as if I was in the Basilica or Cathedral.
It was humid, but expect some bats to be encountered when entering from the outside.
The stalagmite is a white rock formation and it shines like there was a glass or salt gleaming from a flashlight. Unlike stalactites, stalagmites form from the base of the floor.
It was a hidden gem of Antipolo.
There were two staircase to choose from: Whether visiting first the Calvary Mountain or enter the Mystical Cave first. I can be both hikers and spelunkers in a single day.
Spelologists may come to cave for research, upon coordination with the locals.

Who would have thought that there is a cave in Antipolo just an hour and a half drive from Metro Manila. The view on the peak is beautiful although you have to climb a lot of stairs. Be careful as there are green molds in every staircase which make them slippery. There are cottages where you can eat your snacks.
There is an entrance fee but no parking area. Just leave your car along the road. The road going here is not cemented so be ready for a rough road drive. There is no public transportation going here as it is comparable to a hidden place, you will not find neighborhood within the compound.

The cavern is quiet large. Many interesting rock formations. Some unfortunately damaged. There is some light inside but not efficient so it is better to bring your own torch. To reach the entrance you have to climb 150 m up from the road. The entrance fee is 50 PHP per person. One may follow up the path up (300 m) to reach viewpoint with a cross.

Nice cave, you have to climb a lot of stairs ( a little slippery) from the road to.the cave entrance.
Nice inside, just a little disappointed that they are collecting the water in buckets. So the floor of the cave is not wet. They are diverting some water with the use of a pipe to create an artificial bath. That's a little sad. It is privately owned, and I don't think they realize what damage they are doing by changing nature.
There has been some writing placed on the wall that I could see in 1 place.
Using candles as a ceremonial offering. But the wax has dropped on the side of the formations.
Jardin de Miramar is a stunning and expansive garden venue that provides a peaceful atmosphere for events. It features various event venues, including a tree maze and Santa museum, making it an ideal location for outdoor weddings or other celebrations. The accommodating staff ensures that every event held at this open air place is perfect with its built-in string lights in the Ylang Ylang x Prado area.
Such a nice place for garden wedding, prenup, or any special occasion.
Appreciated the nature-sunset vibe.
Ample space for parking.
Their air conditioned hall is well ventilated and well lit.
Though it may be an extra challenge to go here.
I hope they can improve the mini bridge in their garden.

The first church was built by the Franciscans in 1669. In 1880, an earthquake caused significant damage to the church. Due to the dwindling population in the area, the church were not rebuilt. Whatever remained was razed to the ground by the Japanese, except for the lower portion of the original façade. After the war the area was slowly resettled, and the idea to rebuild the church emerged. The restoration was completed in 1995, preserving the ruins of the façade, with the new portions built as close as possible to the original.

Cattleya Resort is a welcoming hotel perched above to admire the dazzling city lights below. The parking is conveniently located near the well-appointed cottages, making it an ideal destination throughout the year for any occasion. The rooms boast sturdy wooden floors, ensuring warmth during the chilly Christmas season. While a firsthand assessment of the service quality was not possible for me as I was invited by a friend, it seems to be satisfactory.
Highly recommended. The staff are friendly. Super clean, affordable and you can even cook ur own food they will provide the kitchen tools u need like gas stove etc, u just have to bring ur own pans ahah love the place 🥰

This is a friendly resort situated atop to appreciate city lights below. Parking is in a good location of your chosen cottage even better if the season is about right, don't get me wrong the place can be an all year location to celebrate anything. Rooms have wooden floors to resist the cold since I believe during Christmas season cold bites. Service is somewhat good since I was just invited there by a friend I could not really tell. Lastly location is awesome if you're looking for a close getaway to relax, this is the place. You need to experience going alone here and pretend to be filthy rich.. I'll do that someday.

Clean, cool place, accommodating staff in every stores. i like the swing on the 2nd floor but haven't tried since there is a lot of teenagers wanted to try it too😅

My favorite go-to place whenever I need to do a quick grocery shopping. Aside from the sloppy cashiers at the EATS section, the grocery is decent enough to have a wide range of selections. Instead of going to the wet market, you can conveniently buy fish and meat here. The mall also has this open space at the top where mini events are being held. There are also nice restaurants. Good place minus the typical large mall crowds.

A cosy place, supermarket, hardware, clothing, and electronic stores are available.. fast food restaurants are also available.
Antipolo Star Resort is a lively vacation spot with open-air cabanas and gazebos, featuring a saltwater outdoor pool and food kiosks. The resort provides an ideal setting to relax and appreciate the natural beauty of Antipolo city. The facilities are well-maintained, including the showers which are often overlooked in other resorts. Additionally, the resort offers a clean grilling area and friendly staff.
It is a nice resort. I love the overlooking view. Cottages varies on what the customers need. Grilling stations available without extra cost. A variety store is on site but prices are double. Down side the slide have limited operating time. Slides need to improve their physical appearance as some of them seems not really safe due to humps or not smooth. Most of the areas are Instagramable.

Kids ang mainly target ng resort. Pools are ok for kids to play with. Slides are for grown ups naman. Max 5ft ang pools. Ayos din.

My family went twice for good reason, it's a place where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful nature of Antipolo city, the whole experience was great, I liked the shower a lot which is normally neglected by most of the resorts it's very clean.
They also have a place for grilling which again it's clean compared to other resorts that I have been to, the staff are nice as well.
The only negative this place has would be "karaoke" which is debatable if you're a type of a person who likes peace or quiet versus a party goer...
I gave 4 stars only because it's my highest and could potentially be beaten by another resort in the future.

I only came for an afternoon on the waterslides and I did not get a room, so this is the only thing I am reviewing.
I was disappointed for 2 reasons:
1) the waterslides are only open from 1 PM to 3 PM in the weekends. In the week days they are closed and only the small children slides are open.
2) you are not allowed to access the structure with only the entrance ticket, but you have to rent a gazebo too. (minimum 1000 PHP
in the website there is no mention of neither of the items above.

I was invited for a weekend gala of my team. Actually, it was their first anniversary celebration with the company together so as their team lead I was invited. The place was good; clean and spacious. Nilinis nila agad pag 5pm na for the overnight na magccheck in. I love the view plus it is really giving me the aura of enjoyment lol. Yong tiles lang na nilagay nila sa daanan nakakabahala kasi nakakadulas to be honest but the place is recommended. Ingat na lang. Worth it naman. Goods sa mahilig magpicture. Sana imaintain nila ang kagandahan at kalinisan.
Entrance is almost 300 for adult and almost 200 for 4 ft below. Corkage fee is 100 per bottle but they sell liquors inside and lots of snacks/foods /drinks available right aside the resort. You can use the grill for barbeque. Spacious ung parking area as well.

I would suggest that this is a perfect resort for your family to celebrate a birthday party with your kids or even with your friend or tropa. They have 4 kinds of swimming pools. Slides, salt water, round cold water, and kiddies. The entrance fee is quite more expensive than some other resorts around Upper Antipolo. It costs 220 pesos for day swimming and for a small cottage it costs 1,200 pesos. All of that price has a limited time discount. The staff are really nice, attentive and hospitable. The cottage is clean.. comfort rooms and shower rooms are not stinky. However we went there Monday, I'm not sure of the situation or the ambiance during weekends or pickdays. But my experience is awesome and we're planning to visit again.

The place was nice! It was spacious, beautiful and clean. Even with a lot of customers during our visit and a bit pricey compared to other resorts nearby, their facilities were enjoyable. There were plenty of clean restrooms, lifeguards by the pools, a shop available inside in case you forgot your swimming essentials or snacks, fun slides to watch, and a great overlooking view. However, I do wish there were rooms available to securely store our belongings and for those who need to rest, such as kids, elders, and pregnant individuals. Overall, it was a great experience for us and our friends.

We've been here last June 2, 2023. I will give them a 3 star because their admin staffs are kinda rude when we ask if they are going to open their slides. We are informed that they should have at least 75 - 100 persons/guests on that day so they can open the slide.
We tried to request to open the slides but they didn't grant us since there were only 67 visitors on our day. It's disappointing that they should have done us a favor since we were so close to their required number of visitors. Aside from that if they open the slide they will only give 1hr to use it. It's unfair since we also paid for that and knowing they will let it use in a short span of time (if we reach 75 guests). This is acceptable if their guest count is only 50% (30 guests) of their required number. Another disappointment, there is no water source, their shower & toilet rooms do not have water source, in the morning there is but after lunchtime it is gone. They said we can only use the bathroom near their admin office but the water flow in their is weak enough to use as a shower. We heard some guest ranting "Wala na ngang Slide, Wala pa tubig"
After all, the place is beautiful, especially the lawn area, good for relaxing and sunset viewing. The toilets and shower rooms are clean but there is no source of water only in the morning. The location is close to Metro Manila. The lifeguards are approachable but their admins are RUDE.
NEVER AGAIN to this resort better improve your staffs CUSTOMER SERVICE. 😠

Amazing experience! Was really impressed by the lawn and view! They also have 5 pools! Most resorts only have 1 maybe 2 pools! Their toilets and showering areas are also squeaky clean! Mura ang entrance fee para sa experience, definitely recommend! Forgot to mention, saya ng slides! 🤗

My child with special needs enjoyed the place very much. The staff were very accomodating and helpful to us. Ang downside, the manager of the place has to make sure that details posted on the net have to be updated... the landline posted is wrong... please look into this. Your staff in the place are very hardworking.
