Top 5 Things You Need to Know When Visiting Splash Mountain Resort (Los Baños, Laguna)

Last Sunday, we had an outing to Splash Mountain Resort in Los Baños, Laguna—about two hours away from Manila. Venturing in this resort is best for those who are looking for a kind of adventure that’s friendly for everyone in the family. Activities done here will surely make your vacation memorable and meaningful. 🙂 Read on for a host of things you need to know when planning for a visit.

Top 5 Things You Need to Know When Visiting Splash Mountain Resort (Los Baños, Laguna)

1. Room Rates and Reservation

Splash Mountain Resort boasts a variety of excellent lodging options, all housed in its tastefully developed outbuildings. Guests can choose to stay in for the night or just book a room for the day. Room reservations can be done via email or phone call. The room rate is the same for both day and night. This means that even if you are not staying overnight, you’re still charged the same amount. Check-in time is 2pm and check-out time is 12nn the next day.

For more info about the room rates, visit their website.

2. Food

Splash Mountain Resort has a restaurant that serves American, Filipino and Chinese food and it’s open from 6AM to 10PM. If you don’t prefer eating food from the inside restaurant/cafe, you are free to bring your own. Selected items such as alcoholic drinks and softdrinks incur some corkage fee though. You may also grill seafood, meat and vegetables, as charcoal grills are available for rent. Moreover, they can accommodate kitchen service.

Note: They offer complimentary breakfast for occupants of the Suites and Oasis hotels. No need to worry about breakfast. Whew! 🙂

3. Swimming Pool

For me, the main attraction in this resort are the swimming pools—19 of them, in various sizes catered to all ages! This is a great place to experience natural hot springs from Mount Makiling and the relaxing breeze of the countryside.

There are activity pools with waterslides designed for both children and adults. Also, the giant waterslide will be opened in the summer of 2015, so watch out!

With regard to swimming attire, the resort management is not strict. Any clean and decent shorts (not briefs for men) and shirts can be worn while swimming. That said, you don’t need to feel shy about wearing tight swimsuits (two-piece or a maillot) and short trunks. 😛

4. Other Facilities

Aside from swimming pools, Splash Mountain Resort has a gym, a basketball court, a tennis court, and venues for team-building activities and events such as weddings, debut parties, and seminars that accommodate up to 400 guests. (The Splash resort phase I has a capacity of 1,000 to 3,000 guests.) Plus, they are open for an exclusive day tour package for the whole resort to include lodging, swimming and food.

5. Entertainment

Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean you have to completely unplug from the world. Wireless free internet (wi-fi) is available in the lobbies of Splash, Suites, Oasis and City of Springs hotels. Surf the net all you want. 🙂

For those who want to sing, the good news is that they have a coin-operated videoke in the resort area. If you’re staying in a function room, you can choose to also rent a mobile videoke setup at the convention building in front of the giant waterslides.

A convenience store slash souvenir shop is nearby, where you can buy gifts for your loved ones back at home.

Wrap Up

Dreaming of sun-kissed days on a resort? You’re in luck. Splash Mountain Resort is open all the days of the year. Whether you already live in a steamy locale (like we do) or are just looking forward to a sunnier climate, you’re likely going to both beat the heat by swimming into the colder pools or relax with warmer pools here. Hate the sun? Stop by in the late afternoon or early evening. Their gates are also open for night swimming.

Another good thing is that this resort is easy accessible. For directions on how to go to Splash Mountain Resort, read this.

    WoW! Great resort. Good Review.

    I am thinking of it now,…hmmmm…this could be another great summer getaways!

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      The resort is nice, with decent pool for summer and great access to the mountainside. There are lots of things to love in this place. 🙂

    We planned to visit this place years ago. However, it never transpired. Your post somewhat gave me another push to plan it again.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Visit this property if you have a chance soon. Splash Mountain Resort is a great place for families ANY time of year!

    Wow, 19 pools??? That’s crazy! Sounds like a great getaway place, but at the moment i cannot even think of another sunny place, Surabaya is boiling hot i just want to lie in the fridge all day…

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Haha yeah, the same is true here in Manila. But now since it’s nearing December, we can almost experience the “amihan” season when cool winds are more likely to blow through.

    It looks like a fabulous hotel. I just love that super large swimming pool!

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      I’d love to swim in a large pool because ours at home is not enough to make a decent lap. 🙂

  5. Hannah Staveley Avatar

    Looks so good but too far for us 🙁

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      If all these sound/look good, you can always list this as one of the places in your travel bucket list. 😛

    This looks like a great place to stay especially for families. My son would love the pool with all the slides and stuff.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Yeah he would enjoy playing in the water for sure. 🙂

  7. mr_jeng Avatar

    Dude 19?! WOAH!!! That’s a lot! The fact that they allow you to bring in food and let you grill them and there is a karaoke machine then, I got to say that this indeed caters to the needs of a Filipino barkada/ family.. Karaoke and grilled food is love! awesome 😀

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Haha yes, you read that right! There’s a lot of pools to dip into. This is an awesome place for a reunion with high school classmates, teambuilding with the whole division in your company or maybe your wedding. Speaking of which, when yun? :mrgreen: hihi okay lah enough teasing.

    Thanks for this little tour. Splash Mountain sounds like a blast!

      You’re welcome, Dawn! It will be a blast if you’re with a great company. 🙂 The more, the merrier!

    That looks amazing! The only Filipino food I have had is Lumpia, but it is a fav! This looks like a very family friendly great time!

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      We’ve tried the food from their restaurant and the quality was pretty average. Maybe it’s best when hot. 🙂 Yeah, try their water slides.

    19 Swimming pools? That is so cool. I love swimming.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Yes! There are pools for children and adults. Also, there are pools for swimmers and non-swimmers (those who only want to stay in the water and play). 😛

    Looks like a destination that I would love to visit! So much fun and things to do there.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      You won’t be bored with lots of facilities available in the place. 🙂

  12. Taylor Avatar

    What a cute place to stay! I will definitely keep it in mind for the future!

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      It will be a nice treat for your family when you make a surprise visit and bring them here! 😀

  13. Nina Say Avatar

    What a lovely resort. I bet the giant water slide is going to be a lot of fun when it opens.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      That’s for sure! I’m excited. 🙂

  14. Wanderer Juan Avatar

    These are interesting facts about Splash Mountain Resort. It has piqued my interest.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Visit the place and mark it as one of the places to write about. 🙂 You’ll appreciate it more in actual.

  15. Cindy (Vegetarian Mamma) Avatar

    This looks really fun! Thanks for the tips for when I visit. 🙂

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      You’re welcome, Cindy! The resort is spacious and I never felt like I was stuck somewhere and seeing the same group of people in the same places (like some resorts start to feel).

  16. Laura@mynewestaddiction.com Avatar

    Looks like you had a great time. I would love to visit.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Yes, we did. You can find serenity here away from your daily grind. There are spots where you can just appreciate nature as well. 🙂

  17. Margarita Ibbott (@DownshiftingPRO) Avatar

    That looks so lovely. We are heading into Winter here in Canada so that outdoor play area and pool looks wonderful.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Laguna has plenty of resorts in the same area placed side by side. Seriously, you will have a hard time deciding where to go. Here’s one reco so you can have Splash Mountain Resort already shortlisted. 🙂

  18. Badet Avatar

    Nice place just a few hours away from Manila.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Yup, and I tell you it’s easy to go here. With the directions instructed in their website, you won’t be lost. 😀

    Those slides look like a lot of fun! Thanks for the tour

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      You’re welcome. 🙂 The slides were most enjoyed by my sister and mother who even went to the point where they took the slide at the same time (my mom sitting at the back). #FUN #GOODTIMES

  20. Franc Ramon Avatar

    The first thing I appreciate about the place is that it’s so clean. There also seems to be a lot of good activities here.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Yes, you’re right with that observation. During our visit, it was almost like we had reserved the entire Oasis section to our group since we were the only people there. Privacy/seclusion in the quiet is one advantage of going to this kind of resort during non-peak season. 🙂

      1. Franc Ramon Avatar

        I like that setup too having the place all to yourself because it’s off season.

        1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

          It was actually raining in the afternoon. That didn’t stop my family from swimming under the rain. Good thing they didn’t get sick, haha. I was just scared of thunder and lightning (so I better be out of the water). 🙂

    This looks like an amazing place for the whole family to visit. I would love to spend a couple days there with the family. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      You’re welcome, Rebecca. Check out the hotel rates posted on their website. It’s best to inquire by reaching out to them if they have promotions ongoing so you can have the best deal. 🙂

  22. Ann Bacciaglia Avatar

    This looks like a fantastic place to visit. I have never been to Splash Mountain. I would love to bring my kids for a vacation.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      This was also our first time to visit. First stop was Oasis and we thought that was the only pool at the place (so why bother to go farther from our house…), then we walked around and discovered the other pools and facilities in the same resort! Waaah 🙂

  23. Erica Brooks Avatar

    What a beautiful resort. Your posts are making me want to visit the Philippines.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Hehe thanks, Erica! You should. 🙂

  24. Nicole W. Avatar

    That’s a lot of swimming pools.But like you that would be spend a lot of time getting wet, event though I can’t swim.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Non-swimmers are absolutely welcome. You can spend time in the pool just enjoying the water and the sun. 😉

  25. Cassie @ Southeast by Midwest Avatar

    This place looks like a blast! Definitely putting it on my “Need to Visit” list.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Good move. I really recommend this resort for celebrations. You can bring thousands of people in one same exciting venue. 😀

  26. HilLesha Avatar

    How fun! I love water parks.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Trying out the waterslides would be the coolest. 🙂

  27. Hazel Asoy Avatar

    They have numerous swimming pools! I checked their site and the room rates were cheaper than the others, considering that this is a nice place

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      I was also surprised that the entrance fees are super affordable. If you’re not staying in and just renting a cottage/table for your belongings and dining, an outing here won’t put even a small dent in your wallet. 😉

    The place looks visualy appealing. This is indeed a good place for leisure to take place. I can’t imagine how spacious the place is.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      It has open doors all days of the year so you may drop by for a visit anytime you’re free. 🙂

  29. Algene Avatar

    I wish I could visit this place soon with my family and friends! I love the fact that it’s super affordable but the place looks great 🙂

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Yes, affordable — that part I love too. 🙂

  30. Grace | A Shutterbug's Lair Avatar

    Wow! This is such a nice place! It’s been a long time since the last visit we had in Los Banos..

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      I really like it when the water’s warm and not freezing cold.

  31. Debarpan Avatar

    I like the pool most as I just love to swim.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Best time to swim is around 4PM-6PM since you’ll still have the sun but the heat is not overpowering.

    It looks like an amazing weekend away. I love swimming and the country so this looks like a great fit for me.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      You’ll love this place. 🙂

  33. Mommy Pehpot Avatar

    I love their hot spring pool! I really wish I could bring the kids here or to any hot spring resort in Laguna 🙂

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      The kids will surely enjoy the water slides. 😀

  34. Kath Rivera Avatar

    Yay! Thank you for sharing this. Now I have an idea where to go in Laguna for our summer outing. I’ve seen this place already because we go to Quezon once a year so it’s along the high way naman.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      You’re welcome. Hope you have an enjoyable stay here with your family next time. 🙂

  35. Peachy @ The Peach Kitchen Avatar

    My daughter will die when she sees the pool area!!

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Haha huwag naman sana. 😆

      1. Peachy @ The Peach Kitchen Avatar

        hahaha, I will die pala. Kasi sigurado I’ll shoulder all our expenses..hehehe

        1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

          Haha well ganyan talaga parents. 🙂 Hayaan mo pag tanda ng anak mo, chance naman ninyo magpasarap nang libre. 😛

  36. Aisha Kristine Chong Avatar

    It’s been awhile since I last heard of the place – and I think I’ve never been there myself, lol… always at the wrong time to even go there but I always wanted it – seems fun.

    1. Rochkirstin Santos Avatar

      Ohh so you’ve heard of Splash Mountain before! I’ve just known Splash Island in Laguna. I think it’s the most popular ever since.

  37. Teresa Martinez Avatar

    Oh this is very accessible from our place. I’ll definitely keep this in mind.
