Bato Springs Resort Revisited

In: Resorts

25 May 2010

Man made falls
We’re able to go back to Bato Springs last weekend, together with our high-school friends and took a dip in their cold water springs. The experience was different in a number of ways, but the place looks just the same as the last time we were there, and we had a great time with our friends just like before.

This summer has set record highs in temperature and it is a common sight to see multitudes of crowd in resorts and beaches. That and maybe an increased internet exposure, attributed to our previous feature years back, along with other blogs have made Bato Springs quite popular in its area.


When we first visited the place, I think we’re the only group who stayed in the resort overnight, a stark contrast compared last weekend where all rooms are fully booked and some even spent the night in tents and their cars. I thought the place has lost its exclusivity, but that doesn’t hold us for having a great weekend.

Man made falls Man made falls Clear spring

Ms. Elaine and Ms. Babes have been very warm in accommodating us, and we haven’t had any trouble checking in our designated room. Which is located nearby the room where we first stayed. As before, we had fun time grilling our food, eating and drinking, while we rented a videoke machine which our friends enjoyed, it also drown out the noise from the other guests.

They have a new larger pool on the lower part of the resort which complemented the first 3 pools that they have. For those who don’t know, those are actually man made pools but the cold water is flowing from the mountain.

For this part, I’d like to give prospective guests these tips, so you can prepare and have more fun in your trip.

  • Book early as soon as you planned to go to the resort, don’t just go there and assume that you’ll have a room, more importantly if you’re going with a group that is more than 4.
  • Take care of your belongings, don’t just assume that the resort staff can guard your belongings all the time. There are a lot of other guests which can be easily tempted, especially when you leave a pile of those expensive flip-flops unguarded. Better if you bring a spare cheap pair you can use while swimming.
  • Bring your own food, have a list of grocery items as well as utensils. There are no restaurants in the resort as far as I know, and you can’t find one around the area. There are grills available for each room and picnic table, where you can cook or re-heat your food. Better if you can bring a portable stove to make cooking a bit faster.
  • If you’re coming from Manila and planning to stay overnight, better to leave around noon time, as their check-in time is 5PM.
  • Just have a great time, and don’t expect too much, the main feature of bato springs is its clear spring water, cool temperature due to the shade of tall trees in the area. It’s not a 5-star resort where you have room service on-demand, but the fees are priced appropriately.

For inquiries and bookings you may contact Ms. Elaine at numbers, (049) 562-0976 or (0926) 5822-822

Thank you, Jeff, Jong Gesmundo for the pix, & to the other people behind eatandrun.

To Jocas & Raquel, the entrance fee/pax are as follows: On weekdays – 70, On weekends, Overnight – 125. Room rates do not cover the entrance fee. Room for 10 is 3200. Check in time 8:00 am – 7:00 or 5:00pm – 4:00pm next day.

To Zhello, you may reach Bato Springs by Lucena bus. Get off at the second 7-11 at the intersection. Then take a jeep bound to Dolores.

Sorry for not being able to answer the earlier queries.

To Lightandbubbly & the others who want to know the rates of Bato Springs, please give your e-mail address where I can send them to you.

Thank you.

I’d like to ask if we can extend our stay at the resort for a few hours and how much?
you check in time is at 5pm check out at 8am..if ,let’s say we extend until 12nn, how much would that be?
I’m actually from san pablo city but the last time I’ve been there was 12 years ago, high school days pa.

I and my family and friends just had the worst weekend of my life last Saturday and Sunday.And it was my most embarassing day too!
The reviews are soooo misleading.
I don’t understand why people patronize it and had everything good to say about this resort when in fact, it is still a resort with the dirtiest, most ill-maintained cottages and the most fly infested surroundings.To think that they earn a lot from the P125/px entance fee, P400 mushroom sized ugly cottages and P1,500 non aircon rooms w/o balkents, towels and toilet papers, with dirty Jack and Jill bathrooms with destroyed locks and faucets, and w/o heater.
Aside from the addition of new poorly constructed cottages and cheap bathrooms and a man-made pool,its still the same as when we last visited 15yrs ago and vowed never to come back because of the swarming flies with their eggs deposited on our tables and foods and with their dirty cottages. May nadala pa kami na pagkain sa bahay na may mga itlog ng langaw.I am not exagerating.God knows I speak the truth because I care for the health of the public. I shudder now when I remember the filth.
I regret that I again encouraged my friends to have our bonding there after 15 years last weekend when I read the comments of guests on how nice the place is already. I became excited once again to see what efforts the management did to please their customers. After this harrowing weekend, I conclude that they are just after the money of the customers. Pagnagalit ang Diyos sa kanila for not giving back to the customers the good service and clean surroundings they deserve, baka bawiin ng Diyos ang biyaya ng napakagandang tanawin and endless supply of spring water that He blessed them with.
Attention Dept of Health and Sanitary Inspector of San Pablo. Pls do your job and inspect the place. The flies are danger to the health of the public. Everyone can easily get typhoid fever in that place.Magkakaproblema kayo pag nag- outbreak ang sakit na dala ng mga LANGAW.
Even Ms. Elaine assured me there are no more swarms of flies and smell of chicken pooh all around which we experienced before when I asked her as I was reserving rooms for the weekend.So I took her word that she answered me honestly.Mayruon pa rin naman pala.
