We all need a quick break every now and then right?

However, time (and budget) may not always permit it so this might be a good place to consider.

Jomar Alameda shared more about this place on his Facebook post.

According to Jomar, “Yung Php 700.00 mo, madadala ka na sa Paraiso.” (Rough translation: Your Php 700 can bring you to paradise.)
