Loved our 2-night stay here. Stayed in a very spacious cabin with a queen bed and 2 daybeds. Had tons of room for our 1-yo to practice walking. Lucky that our cabin was situated in front of the pool too.<br>Travel to the resort was an easy 1.5-hr drive (90% highway) from the metro. Although, the highway between Lipa and Ibaan was bumpy enough that we had to stop and check our tires twice.<br>Food from the resort’s restaurant, Courtyard, was great. We aren’t heavy eaters so they also offered to keep a portion of the food for a later meal—very thoughtful. We wanted to have Adobo sa Dilaw which wasn’t available so settled with their beef sofrito. The next few meals we had their lomi (great), squash soup (baby loved this), and inihaw na liempo (I loved this).<br>Food service was amazing. We brought some mangoes for the baby that they cut happily. I imagine other hotels would have charged extra for that. We especially loved the afternoon ice candy! Such a small but lovely gesture.<br>Over the two days, we just cooled off in the pool, lounged in their duyans, ran around in their playground, and did their farm tour.<br>The farm tour was the highlight of the trip. Two things our baby loves: vehicles and animals. So seeing a tractor and farm animals was amazing.<br>We rode the tractor around the farm and learned about their cacao and mango trees. We got to taste some cacao too—sweet like mangosteens. After that, we fed some rabbits, pigs, goats, and chickens. Our baby enjoyed this a lot so we fed them again the next morning. Saw some huge cows too with their calf—hi Salome—and some kilyawans while lounging in the duyan.<br>Huuuuge kudos to the staff for making this such a memorable experience. One of the guests’ kids said “I could live here for 100 years” and, honestly, we felt the same. Kilyawan felt like home for 2 days.<br>We’ll be back! Hopefully in time for the mangos to ripen 😁
