Rejuvenate in Nature's Embrace: Zapanta Resort, Antipolo's Finest

 Are you looking for an affordable resort that fits your budget?  May alam ako!

here at Sitio Buyag Brgy, Antipolo, province of Rizal you will find Zapanta Resort.




How to get there?

  • from cubao take a jeep going to Padilla then get off at cogeo gate 2.
  • after Cogeo gate 2 ride a jeep going to Paenaan, Simply tell the driver to drop you off at the RC plant.
  • After that, you will walk  five to ten minutes to reach the Zapanta resort.


if you have a car...

You can get to the resort's parking area from Marilaque Highway in about two minutes.  It's just a house with a small parking space that costs 50 pesos per day. You will hike on the trail from the parking lot, passing through rice fields before coming up against a residential house in the middle, where you will have to pay the entrance fees to the resort.


 In our case, I only paid the entrance fee of 100 pesos and begged not to get a cottage because we will just swim for an hour. Fortunately, the owner is kind. They said we were the only people in the resort, it's like we rented out  the entire resort.  


The view of the mountain and the rice field is breathtaking, and the water is extremely cold (Chlorine-free spring water).  We stayed for an hour here and we're rejuvenated.   Most likely I would recommend this place to summer visitors on a tight budget.
