Mambukal Mountain Resort
Despite the heavy rains, we set out to Mambukal Resort, in Murcia, Negros Occ. after the sumptuous lunch at Aboy's restaurant which consisted of nylon shell for soup, grilled scallops, grilled blue marlin, oysters, shrimps, crab omelette. Restaurateur Aboy sat with us and offered us his signature tarragon tea with mint leaves to freshen our mouths.
My four guests from Manila loved the scenery of the sugar cane fields. And they were awed by the wide river even though the water was so muddy. When we got to Mambukal, my guests were wowed by the lush vegetation of the area. There were cottages that has a small kitchen and could accommodate six persons. Bats were flying from tree to tree. At first, you wouldn't recognize the bats, since thy are hanging upside down from the trees. At times, they would fly under the bridge as they make their mating sounds.
There are two swimming pools which the young and not-so-young can frolic about. If you wouldn't want to take a dip at their dipping pool, you can indulge for a relaxing body massage at a nearby spa. There's a man-made lagoon where you can go boating.
The visit wouldn't be complete if there were no photos to take. Thus our photo shoot.
