Beat the Summer Heat at the budget friendly resort located at Bgy. San Isidro, Rodriguez Montalban Rizal, Noah's Park Resort. Who would have thought that Rodriguez Rizal offers lots of hidden budget friendly resorts that's just few hours away from Manila.
Summer time means bonding time with friends, love ones , family or just ME time that almost everyone is waiting for. But of course, one of the main consideration for most of us is the budget. I'm looking for nearby resorts in Montalban Rizal because we are planning to spend our summer getaway together with my parents and brothers that is also living within the area to avoid the hassle with transportation.
Until I came across with a newly renovated resort in Montalban, the Noah's Park Page. Upon checking their FB page, it seems nice specially for its entrance rate of P150.00 for kids and P200.00 adult for daytime, that already includes use of 5 themed swimming pools, playground, team building area and garden maze compared with others.
I was quite hesitant at first because their fb page is not updated because their last post is last year. Though posted videos and images of the resort is enticing but it might be a battle of "expectation vs reality".
Good thing that the resort is just one ride away from my mom's house. I decided to do an ocular visit upon checking the place I then decided to have our cottage reservation. The staff even allowed us to get inside the park to check which cottage we want to reserve. Reservation is not required but it is suggested. When I had my reservation the staff just made a pencil book and didn't ask for any fee. What I'm worried for most of this kind of affordable resorts is the possibility that it will be crowded. We visited on weekdays expecting that guests is lesser on ordinary day.
This is it! We arrived a bit earlier, the guard will only allows guest to enter at exactly 8:00AM but the staff in the cashier is there to accept payment. While waiting, there are already bunch of visitors coming in. So I'm hoping it will not be too crowded.

Our cottage is nearby the ROCK POOL, which requires a little bit walking exercise since it's located towards the end of the resort. We have chosen rock pool, since it is the cottage that accommodate up to 12 pax for P800.00

This is the Rock Pool is a 2ft kiddie pool. With hanging bridge on top of it.
and surrounded with a man made rock formation which I think based from one dam in Montlaban Rizal.
Kids can't wait so as soon as we settled our things in the cottage.. Swimming time....
But not for me, I want to take first the opportunity to take some selfie shots before getting wet. One good thing about the place is the nature themed environment. Lots of good spot for picture taking to capture memorable moments.
Of course I tried the hanging bridge that connects starting from the team building area and passing through 3 themed pools. Looks fun.
Team building area is near the hotel and with team building activities and playground too.

The most favorite part, though its quite far from our cottage since it is located in front of the park, the kids friendly WAVE pool in just 2-4 ft only. The wave is created through the big bouncing ball in the middle.
Between Bucket Pool and Wave pool is a small bridge. Nice to see the view of the pools and taking pictures.

Final words
PROS well for entrance of P200.00 with themed pools and spacious environment that is close to nature for daytime 8:00AM- 5:00 is very much worth it.
CONS
-The comfort and shower rooms are not well maintained though I found one near the Pavilion area that is far better than other CR and shower rooms in the park because it is new and a bit spacious.
-I was just curious on how often they change the water in the pool. Because when we arrived the staff is just cleaning and treating it with chemicals and it's not that clear.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
