Hidden Paradise, San Fernando Cebu

A friend recommended to me a unique and fun mountain resort I have never been to. I was a bit hesitant the first time my friend told me coz I already had a bad experience from a mountain resort I've been to in Toledo (which I'll never post in my blog, sorry). But you bet, this mountain resort I have been to, is totally different and an experience I will never forget.


Going there, is I guess the easiest and the most adventurous one. Well, let me tell you this, we took the bus from the city of Cebu and rode the famous "habal-habal" (cebu's motorcycle transport). The ride took 10minutes only, knowing that from the area where we stop, we still have to travel for another 5 kilometers.. I could say, I was a bit scared because not only that the road was rough but it was sheer as well .Like we could fall off the cliff if our driver is not so familiar with the place. I'm glad we had a good driver.

When we reached the resort, I was not totally wowed by it but when I got to see and experience what I can enjoy there, I realized it was not a bad place after all. This trip made me conquer some of my fears and that is the fear of heights.

Hidden Paradise, I would say has everything. They have three swimming pools, billard hall, videoke machines, functions rooms and rooms for rent that ranges from Php600-Php2,500. Not only that, they have this what they call "zip line" which really is a challenge to me because you will hold on to harness that will carry you from one side to the other not more than 100feet below the ground..Gosh! and i did tried it.. Not only that, I also tried their monkey bridge and I finished it in twenty minutes. Ahahahhah! Yes I admit I was a bit scared but the thrill is worth it! I say, you better try it when you get there.
