I remember when hubby and I were looking for a resort somewhere in Antipolo, Rizal. We browsed the web and saw the enticing website of Loreland Farm Resort. The pictures are impressive and with the amenities, it’s perfect. And so we thought. No, the place is not bad at all. In fact, the place is relaxing. It’s just that it is not as beautiful as we expected. This is my Loreland Farm Resort review.
Loreland Farm Resort is an 8 hectare land resort located in Brgy. San Roque, Antipolo City. It is divided into 3 phases and I should say it has complete amenities, well almost…
Resto and Bar with Acoustics every Saturday night
Convenience Store
Spa and Sauna (stone massage, foot spa, manicure and pedicure)

Sports Amenities (volleyball, basketball court, billiards)
Zip Line
chapel and station of the cross.
If I’ve counted it right, Loreland Farm has 18 swimming pools but most of them are small and they were too crowded when we went there may be because it’s still summer weekend. I don’t know if it has the same scenario during week days. And because it was a hill developed into resort, you have to take steps to access other swimming pools which are a little bit tiring.

Kiddie Pool
There are also many cottages, cabanas, umbrellas, and rest houses for overnight accommodations. So even if you go there late, you won’t run out of affordable place to stay at.
We rented a cabana P1,300 (day tour), P1,600 (night tour). It has a papag (bed made of bamboo) inside and electric fan. I recommend this if you have babies who take naps once in a while. You can also request for a padlock but you have to deposit P200 which is refundable. Good for 8 persons.

There are trees everywhere that shade most of the pools. So if you are a nature lover who wants to unwind and is after the relaxing ambiance, Loreland Farm Resort is definitely the place for you, but not if you are after a good swim on big swimming pools.
What I love about this place is they have many big shower and comfort rooms that’s why there’s no queue inside the shower room even the place is crowded.
