🛖 Check-in at Lake Farm de la Marre
We were supposed to book the Couple Room with lake view and breakfast for P5,750 but got upgraded to Casita with Kitchen (P11,500) since it was vacant in exchange of content.
🌅 The casitas are facing directly to the lake where you can catch both sunrise and sunset.
🍃 A garden with beautifully designed benches, perfect for Instagram photos
🛖 A casita has 3 floors: - Lower Ground: Kitchen and BBQ area - Ground Floor: Entertainment area and bathroom - Second Floor: Attic room and balcony
🛏️ The attic room can accommodate up to 6 people and it comes with a balcony
📺 Aesthetic sala with TV
🚿 Clean shower with toiletries
♨️ It has a private kitchen and a BBQ area
📶 If you're planning to work, they have fast wifi distributed all over the resort at around 100 Mbps. You can request for the password upon check-in at the reception or pool area.
🥄 Lunch at their own restaurant
The resort comes with a well-designed restaurant both inside and outside. Even the bathroom is aesthetic! 😍
You can eat in 2 ways: 🥶 Inside with aircon ⛺️ Enjoy the fresh air with a beautiful lake view under a teepee
I loved everything I ordered!

The owner was there during that time. She's very humble, says hi to every table, and super kind to their staff.
Even the restroom is well-designed.
