Before going to Nurture Spa Tagaytay last November, I did a lot of googling to check on what to see in this acclaimed one of the top spas in the Philippines and in Asia… Nurture Spa’s website has very limited photos but good thing a lot have blogged about this and so I still found some worthwhile snapshots… Here’s my blog, its main purpose is to give you a tour on Nurture Spa and to get you more excited in visiting this very relaxing, fascinating, and enjoyable Spa outside the city….:)
Morning shot, pathway from the entrance to the big garden…
Nurture Spa serves really awesome hot teas…superb taste and very soothing… hot teas was served upon arrival while waiting for our room and also after our massage… and both teas were different, the latter tea had a ginger taste…
Here’s a shot of our room name – Runong room, I think it was the first room in the garden view.
The room was just fine, with big bed, good lights, clean bathroom, and tv…without cable…
Guess, they really wanted us to just enjoy our time together…
But not to worry they have movies in dvds that you can borrow for the night…
The path way going to the Spa Wellness area… this shot is the open area for Facial, Head, Shoulder massages… very relaxing place, you can enjoy the cool breeze, sight of the garden while having your massage here… Nice!
While here’s a shot of our massage room, they call this the Couple Massage Room, with aircon and bathroom. We had here our 1 hour Hilot Massage; had a quick foot spa first, then started our Hilot Massage with Banana leaves on our back… it was really relaxing… how we wish we have this kind of massage/treatment every day….
We woke up around 7am and headed to Dulang’s 2nd floor, to have a different spot from our dinner. Still a great place to dine – very serene…
with a good view from the 2nd floor…
Also, you can play Sungka while waiting for your order; this is part of their table décor/set-up for some tables…:)
Here are some shots of the garden, enjoy…

Subic Tree Top Adventure
by webby on Mar.28, 2010, under Blog, Travel
One weekend, we decided to travel and do something different as a group. Subic Tree Top Adventure was our choice of destination for our March getaway. We knew that we would wear harness, swing from trees, easy and fun as that, right?
But…uhhhmm… hanged and dropped 60ft high to the ground, soared from tree to tree up to 450 ft long and 100ft high and explored the forest sitting up to 100ft above the ground was definitely a thrilling, heart-stopping, challenging and one-of-a-kind adventure!
Tree Top Adventures offers 6 different activities namely, rappelling, canopy ride, trekking, interactive free fall, superman ride, and silver surfer. Interactive free fall is their newest ride but we were not able to try it, we just had their Package E adventure at 620php per person which includes rappelling or tree drop adventure, canopy ride and superman ride. We had so many pictures so I’ll be blogging each ride we had, a better and closer view of everything about it.
Above is a shot of the harness station for the tree drop and canopy ride adventure. Below is a shot of their main lounge/dining area/watching area; almost everyone there were waiting for their turn, taking pictures, resting or having lunch or snack.
We had our lunch arranged when we booked for our Package E adventure, set lunch meals for 175php… honestly, we were dismayed, food was so poor in taste and quality, they didn’t get our orders right, drink was just a small glass of iced tea but good thing their leche flan as dessert was okay.
Here’s a shot of Tree Top’s house rules, have a look and get to know every detail before taking their adventures. You have been warned! Hehehe.
Feeling lost? Here’s some directions, know where to find each ride…
Tree Top’s helmets, a must-wear for the canopy ride.
Choose from red, green or pink.
Tree drop adventure/rappelling main area… this is where you will be hanged from… Hehehe… more stories in my next posts…
At the start of the canopy ride…whoooaaaa…are you sure, this is safe? Hehehe.
Superman ride main area, time to pull yourself up…
Are you ready for the real excitement?
Keep yourself posted and join us in our very unforgettable thrilling experience in Subic Tree Top Adventure…
