Since my family moved to the suburb, we had taken a liking to private resorts–swimming pools with guesthouses that can be rented for the day or for overnight stay. It isn’t that expensive if you go with a group of, say, four families and you split the bill equally. The following photos were taken on two previous visits to Cattleya Farm Resort in Antipolo. The facilities include two swimming pools, a jacuzzi, a guesthouse with an airconditioned bedroom and a fully functional kitchen, outdoor grill, a mini-playground and, optionally, a karaoke machine.
