Pine Tree Mountain Resort – Sanctuary Close To The Heavens

1/1/2017

Comments

 
​Cebu has a number of resorts aimed at meeting the needs of residents and visitors. Many of these resorts are located in Mactan Island while a number can be found in the northern and southern towns of the island. There are also resorts situated on top of the mountains of Cebu. One of these resorts is the Pine Tree Mountain Resort, which is located in Barangay Gaas, Balamban Cebu.

The Pine Tree Mountain Resort is a newly-opened resort that offers magnificent views of the mountains of Cebu. It is also a first of its kind and was initially designed to be the rest house of the owner.  The owner decided to open up his mountain retreat to visitors other than family and friends. Additional rooms were built for this purpose.  While it is a mountain resort, it is for the exclusive use of the guests of the resort. In other words, no outsiders can enter the resort and prior reservations are required before one can enter the resort.

Features

The resort features a Mediterranean design and sits on a six-hectare private property nestled on the mountains of Cebu. It is called Pine Tree Mountain Resort since it has numerous pine trees planted on the properly. It offers an exclusivity that is not normally offered in other resorts close to the city. Aside from the elegantly-designed luxury villas where guests can spend the night, the place also has a game room, a veranda offering a magnificent view of the mountain side, sauna and outdoor Jacuzzi, and an infinity pool. Guests opting for the day use package can look forward to a plated meal and the use of the facilities. For those opting to stay the night, they can make arrangements for their food prior to the date when they would stay.

Rates

For the moment, reservations are done through email. The rates of the resort are PHP 6,000 per room but a minimum of three rooms should be reserved for a particular date. Guests can also opt for the day-use option where they can use the facilities without having to spend the night. Day use rates are PHP 1,500 per person. But, it is necessary to have 30 guests using the facilities for a particular date.

While there is a minimum number of rooms to get for overnight stays and minimum number of people for the day-use option, it is not necessary for a single group to rent all three rooms or for a single group to reach the 30-person minimum. A guest can book one room and wait for two other people to book two more rooms to meet the three-room minimum. For the day use option, as long as 30 guests select this option on the same date, they can use the facilities of the resort. 

The main resort for the minimum number of rooms and people for the day use is that the main target market of the resort is companies rather than individuals. 

Getting to the Pine Tree Mountain Resort

Getting to the Pine Tree Mountain Resort requires guests to take public transportation or their own vehicles through the transcentral highway up to the mountains. The resort is located just before the Adventure Café and its gate is visible from the highway. It is necessary to coordinate with the caretaker of the resort to ensure fuss-free entry into the mountain resort.

​Life in the city can be quite stressful, especially for people working in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. The Pine Tree Mountain Resort offers local residents as well as visitors the opportunity to recharge and see the beauty of nature at its finest. It is a mountain sanctuary that is as close to heaven as it can get.  Have you visited the Pine Tree Mountain Resort already? Tell us about it on the comments section below.
