Taking A Dip In The Cool Waters Of The Middle Earth Resort

​The northern towns of Cebu have beaches featuring fine white sand and crystal clear waters. But, the northern part of the island has more than just beaches. There are also a number of resorts offering something different for people looking for something new. One of these resorts is the Middle Earth Resort in Carmen.

Carmen 

The Municipality of Carmen was once called Bugho before the Spaniards came to the country. The town was eventually named Carmen by a Spaniard due to miscommunication. According to the story, a woman who was baptized was asked for the name of the place. Thinking that the Spaniard was asking about the necklace she was wearing, she said Carmen. Due to this, the place was named Carmen.

Middle Earth Resort

The Middle Earth Resort is a relatively-new resort located in Barangay Lower Natimao-an, Carmen. The resort features four swimming pools with water source from the Mangitngit Falls. The Mangitngit Falls is one of the main features of this northern Cebu resort. While no one is allowed to take a dip at the Mangitngit Falls due to a tragic incident in 2007, the resort has a viewing area for visitors who want to marvel at the beauty of the waterfalls.

​The swimming pools of the resort are surrounded by lush greenery. This makes the Middle Earth Resort ideal for visitors looking for a place to appreciate the beauty of nature while enjoying the creature comforts offered by a resort. The resort is one of the more popular places for locals to spend their weekend. The cold water of the pools is perfect for the summer months when the searing heat of the sun can leave one sweating like crazy.

There are also large kiosks with two table and ten chairs available at PHP3,000. You can get additional chairs at PHP10 each. An additional table and five chairs cost PHP200. Since there is no restaurant at the resort, it is advisable to bring your own food if you plan to stay at the place the whole day.
