Slide doors are like gateway to a mini-forest view which hide the entire resort's quietude against the noise of city life.

View from the porch showed another sliding door connecting the veranda to a bedroom concealed by thick layers of curtains to dissociate temporal residents from external verdant panorama.

Comfort and shower room are furnished well of toiletry except for toothbrush which you need to request/buy from the concierge.

Outside, the homey cottage is a perspective of combined modern and traditional structure fitted to natural forest landscape. Here, crickets thrived and sang its hymn in choral at night oblivious of the contradiction of issues Filipinos are madly affronted of. 

How relevant is this to a restless life? Its significant for those sensitive to insects' existence. Some natives said that crickets thrive in cool or temperate quiet places that will resonate their safety. Their silence means its diapause or their adverse expression that its inhabitable for them. Crickets therefor help signal the coziness and serenity of places for those in urban areas wanting immediate and undisturbed respite.



What I liked most from the cottages' zone is this expanse of space held dramatic by orange lights. Its a good site to hang around above a hot pool-- the relaxing jacuzzi lounge, and watch those who frequent there to de-stress nerves and epidermis through hot water massage.

Adjacent to the dining area is the cozy winery section for those wanting bitter taste of alcoholic beverages over conversations, unless you'd want it while sulking with solitude which remains acceptable in this corner. 

There are two soft sala coaches adjacent this bar for those who simply wanted to unwind with the venue's breadth of space.

The other pool section is located behind the front desk and concierge office. Most of those who prefer the cool water exploit the myriad swim strokes here while romancing the verdant surrounding. Inside, you'd forget that the location is just within the heart of an urban Cagayan de Oro city. 

Those two kiosks by the pool are massage sites but unfortunately, masseurs were not there while we're there.



This hotel offers sports facilities too but since I am not keen on basketball, tennis, wall-climbing, and weight-lifting, I decided not to take photos of them.
