Janne, Mark, Lo and I have scheduled a day at the Club Manila East (CME) which is located in the City of Taytay, Rizal, Philippines. The venue isn't so far from Quezon City. The entire trip going there has only taken us 45 minutes (luckily, with moderate traffic condition in Manila going to Taytay, Rizal).

We haven't encountered problems with the staff as they were all friendly and accommodating to us. The surrounding is clean and well taken cared of. The restaurant serves good food at reasonable price. Aside from CME's restaurant, you can also find a pizza store and an ice cream stall inside the premises of CME. All in all, we will surely be going back to CME if given the chance next time we visit the Philippines again.

If you are planning to visit CME, be sure to bring with you proper swimming attire as this is a strict rule for everyone. Don't bother taking with you food and drinks as they will be left in the guard's possession (which you can claim upon check-out).

CME is open from 7 in the morning until 9 in the evening, seven days a week.

The entrance fee for adults is Php350/person while kids below 3feet are free of admission.

If you do not want to pay for cottages/accommodations, you can just stay in the Picnic Area (yes... it's for free). You can rent a Pavilion for Php50 for your whole stay if you choose to pay a little bit at least. If you want to get a cabin near the BeachWaves area, BeachView Cabins are priced at Php1,000/ day. If you want to stay near the restaurant, the Eagle's Bar, the covered pool, the kayak/wakeboarding area, the kiddie pool and the adult pool with a three-looped giant slide, you better stay in either a Hut or a Cabana (we rented this one). A Hut costs Php1,000/day while a Cabana is priced at Php1,500/day. The difference between the two is that the Cabana has glass windows, glass doors and a private toilet and bath while the Huts are secured with wires (doors and windows) and have no private toilet and bath. I suggest renting either a Cabana, BeachView Cabin or a Hut when you are with your family or when with a group as you can have these three accommodations locked whenever noone is left to stay and keep an eye on your belongings. Shower areas and clean restrooms are all over the place for those who decide not to rent a Cabana. (See photos below, scroll down and click photos to enlarge)
