Grotto Vista Resort is located in the heart of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. A short 15-minute ride by car or jeepney from SM Fairview is all it takes to enjoy a wonderful pool day under the melting heat of the sun.
I've been to Grotto Vista Resort in two separate occasions. First, with my younger brothers, Mark and Darwin on the 12th of February. My brothers still have joined the fun the second time I've been there [26 February] with Madde [my boyfriend's only sister] and Micke [a friend].

A Review on Grotto Vista Resort Air-Conditioned Rooms:
●A huge DISAPPOINTMENT! During our second visit there, Madde and Micke decided to get a De Luxe Room accommodation and oh my... it was UGLY! The matress was hard and really old. The pillows obviously needed to be replaced. The pillow cases and the sheets were well, newly washed but did not look fresh at all. The toilet/bathroom was dirty. The shower head and knob weren't functioning well. The toilet bowl was yuck. The shower and faucet water --- definitely disgusting [brownish/yellowish in color].... And yes ~~~ mosquitoes had somehow found a way to get inside the room!
Aside from the air-conditioned room catastrophe, everything else is good. The pools and surroundings are clean and the attendants are friendly.

thanks so much for the info! parang na-turn off lang ako dun sa rooms. un pa naman gusto ko minsan pag nagsswim outside Metro Manila, un me overnight accommodations. me lamok pa, oh man! :(
ReplyDeleteWElcome Beth.
ReplyDeleteYup.. Everything's great except for the rooms. My expectation was so high tapos, ganun ang dinatnan namin. Kakahiya sa mga visitors ko. :(
It looks like a beautiful place for a day's outing - but what a shame the room, itself, did not match
ReplyDeletethe external beauty of the resort.
Really is a great place for day and night outing but for overnight occasions, not good at all. :'(
ReplyDeletebitin nmn ang night swimming nila til 11pm only....sana til 5am....
ReplyDeleteOo nga. Yun din ang naisip ko. Why is it until 11PM only... Not fair. A lot of people are hoping for the pool to be opened to the paying public until 4 or 5 in the morning. Hope they change this sched...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your information. My family and I wants to have a day outing at Grotto Vista resort. Can I asked you, if its ok? We want to accommodate the Vigan House 2nd flr. is there a Kitchen,Videoke, chairs and tables included??? Or it has a seperate fee? I'm glad if you could answer it. Coz, the hotline of the resort given above was not available. Thank you so much. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Kathrina.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Been there twice and kinda like it :)
About the Vigan House, I do not think that there's a kitchen in it. But there are a lot of cooking and barbecue areas around the Vigan house. So, I think, that's not a problem.
Chairs and tables are included but the karaoke/videoke machine, isn't. There are karaoke machines next to the pool area for public use. But I am sure that if you request for one to have in the Vigan House, they'll provide you one. About the fee, I hope that they will not charge you extra for the karaoke machine because you'll need to be dropping 10 pesos per song... by that, they can earn a lot already.
I know. Their hotline isn't working at all. That has been my frustration, too. I've just thought that I am the only one having troubles contacting their offices [Manila office and Bulacan] but now I know, I am not alone. :(
But to be sure, bring along a videoke player and a small telly with you. Since the Vigan house costs a lot, they shouldn't mind if you bring your own... I hope.
Have a nice day and enjoy your day at Grotto Vista!
Thank you for dropping by and sharing some love! You're lovely!
