Nueva Ecija

Hi there! 👋 I’m @benjtupas and welcome to another Travel PH82 Guide 🇵🇭 where I write DIY and budget-friendly guides for group and solo travelers on how to visit all 82 provinces of the Philippines!

Let’s virtually explore Lake Farm de La Marre within the province of Nueva Ecija!


This was my second time in Nueva Ecija. During my first visit, I explored Mount 387 and Aloha Falls. Mount 387 looks like the Chocolate Hills of Nueva Ecija.

🛖 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!

Sample order for lunch: - Chicken BBQ ala Satay (P450 good for 2) - Tinapa Crusted Tilapia (P450 good for 2) - Signature Tinapa on Cups (P330 good for 2) - Mango Shake (P155) - Rice (P30)

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.

🏵️ 5,000 Roses

🌹 These roses light up at night just beside their infinity pool and band area.

🎶 Since this spot is right beside the band area, it would feel like the acoustic band is serenading you while enjoying the place and taking photos
