Visited February 2009. Roughly 30-45 minutes south of Bacolod City. It’s a good idea to rent out transportation for the day, leave early in the morning for Mambukal, and then come back in the afternoon/evening. We rented out a jeepney for roughly 2,000 pesos and brought some food to cook. There’s quite a bit to do here at Mambukal, all on cash basis, with relatively low fees. Per the website: Hotel Rooms, Water Falls, Swimming Pools, Function Hall, Therapeutic Warm Dipping Pool, Picnic Huts, Overnight Cottages, Food Court, Bat Watching, Boating, Wall Climbing, Slide for Life, Canopy Walk, and Camping Ground. First we rented one of the picnic huts and started cooking. After we ate, we checked out the water fall, swimming pool, therapeutic warm dipping pool, boating lagoon and bat watching ….Picnic Huts – Nice views with a stand to grill and a sink wash your hands. The water comes directly from the falls.Water Fall – I’d say about it’s about a 30 minute hike to the first waterfall, over uneven ground and a single pipe railing to hold on to. Certainly a workout, I wouldn’t recommend this to the less-adventurous. There are a total of 6 or 7 waterfalls you can hike to, each one a less safe hike than the one before. You should at least hike to the first waterfall, it will be worth the trip. Bat Watching – You can see the bats hanging down from the tall trees in the distance from just about anywhere on the resort. They have specific ‘bat watching’ signs though, on the route to the first waterfall. Boating – You can rent a kayak for 30 minutes to an hour, good for 5 or 6 people per kayak. Life vests and two paddles are provided. Nice lagoon, lots of fun and good exercise. Swimming Pool – Cool water, large pool area. Like any other swimming pool except that this water is from the falls!Therapeutic Warm Dipping Pool – Like a hot shower on a cold day, but in ‘pool’ form. If you’re not used to the hot water just give your body time to adjust and sink lower and lower …. The resort was lots of fun, don’t forget the suntan lotion. Easily took up a whole day. A must visit if you are in Negros!

    We booked our Apo Island trip through an Apo island local. The local people of Apo Island are preserving their sanctuary with considerate rules, pride, and respect towards their incredible nature. They are just so hospitable and lovely. They even had a protected(restricted) area just for the turtles to rest in peace. Our guide was trained by a dive master from Apo Island with 15 years of diving experiences. Time we spent there was just incredible.

    It's much more than the husk of an old house or an Instagrammable background. There are stories worth listening to and lives worth imagining. Spend your time learning about Bacolod rather than taking the standard photos. Ask Mars questions and hope he answers with more than a joke.

    A relaxing place to do early morning walk or jog. Feel the sea air in the morning with noises of birds near the Bethel Hotel area. A short walk along the breakwater to kick-start your day. A visit during the evening will provide you a taste for the local street foods and occasional programs during festivals.

    Not too bad. But getting too touristy. It used to be easy to go-to, now it's got too much shops around it

    Truly off the beaten path but were glad that the road going there was okay (concrete) and easy. Upon arrival, you will need to pay Php 30 for the Entrance and Environmental fee. And taking 300 or more steep stair-steps is quite the adventure (especially on going back) Good for cardio exercise, though.
    The challenge of reaching the Enchanting Falls is truly worth it. The falls overflows with enchantment and beauty. The water is clean, cool and refreshing. And the lush green environment sums up the paradise this place truly is.

    It was so refreshing to stay even at the view deck alone and marvel on the mountain, the lake and the foliage surrounding the restaurant on the deck. The food was good and very cheap.
