Antipolo Summer Heat Escape : Bosay Resort


Just last week, I was invited to join overnight swimming by my co-employee. And last Saturday, we had our refreshing time at Bosay Resort at Antipolo, Rizal. Entrance fee is 190 Php. We are a group of 8, we wanted to have a room but due to summer season, the only available are cottages. Cottage rental is 1,000 Php. Overnight swimming is from 7 PM to 5 AM. Most of the pools open at 7 PM but party pool opens at 9 PM.
The management is strict with proper swimming attire. Due to that did not get a chance to try all the Bosay's swimming pools. We were only allowed to three swimming pools which were so crowded.

In the morning, we roam around the resort and took some photos. Here are some.

Even though we had not tried Bosay's other amenities, I still had enjoyed the whole experience.

Note: Management is strict about wearing proper swimwear. They will only allow you to enter the pool premises if you are wearing swimwear made of Lycra or spandex, so be prepared.


How to Go:


From Recto ride the LRT 2 to Katipunan, fare is 14 Php. From Katipunan ride a jeepney going to Antipolo and get off at Ynares, fare is 26 Php. From Ynares ride a tricycle going to Bosay Resort. Tricycle drivers will usually ask 15 Php per person.

Enchanted Kingdom : Back to being a Child

November last year, I had a chance to go to Enchanted Kingdom and try every ride that my courage can overcome with my partner.

EK's Front

The first ride that I tried is the Space Shuttle.

After the nauseating Space Shuttle ride, we plan to try a milder ride, thus we decided to try the Grand Carousel. The carousel is really pretty and very relaxing through out.

After that, still doubtful if we can conquer another extreme ride so we decided to try, Up Up and Away. Just like the movie Up, the ride was balloon inspired that rotates and rises above the ground.

Up Up and Away

As we are looking for an ice cream shop, we came across Eldars Tent. We decided to watch the Christmas Presentation.

After that we experienced 3D part of the movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island at the Rialto.

Next that we tried is the Wheel of Fate. By the will of fate, when it was about our turn, there was a brown out, and we have to wait for about 30 minutes before it resumes.

We also tried Anchors Away and Swan Lake. There was also fireworks.



We thought that the park will close early because of brown outs and rain but no. We came across Extreme and we decided to try the ride since there were only few people in the line. This was actually my fave ride of all. So thrilling!



Extreme

After Extreme, we tried Roller Skater and Lastly Rio Grande. And with that we gone home drench in water of Rio Grande but totally happy. I failed to try some ride, like Disk-O Magic but next time I will surely try it all.

Note: Bring extra set of clothes if you will try Rio Grande.
