I love their mission! Great place to stay and #disconnecttoreconnect Place is kid friendly and has alot of areas to explore. Food is very yummy, just the right amount of portion. We tried the hard trail to hike up the mountain and it was a blast! The view from up top is amazing. Tour guides are very friendly. I would definitely come back and bring family and friends here so they too can experience the serene and tranquility that this nature reserve has to offer.

We rented tent space for our trip. The view inside is calm and tranquil. The spacing is not crowded and there is nearby comfort rooms with shower and bidet. The water is not heated though. The light is just enough to navigate at night. Food is average but multi-course for dinner, the breakfast was much more tasty. Staff were responsive and helpful. The hikes and river adventure was fun. You NEED sandals or hiking shoes as it is slippery and muddy. Ok for beginners as long as you pace yourself.

TL;DR | Great place for relaxation but could improve more. The place is amazing especially for families or groups who loves hiking and forests. They have activites just for them like riverhiking, mountain trekking, or you can just stay within their complex and enjoy the sound of birds and the fresh air. They also have a playground, swimming pool, and a game room (with table tennis, billiards, sungka, and foosball). The river trek activity is not inside the complex. You have to first walk by the main road to get to the riverside. A guide will be assigned to your group and you will be provided with walking sticks. The trek is relatively easy except for the 1st part where you have to descend from the road to the river. It was very slippery probably because it just rained when we were there. But once you reach the river, it's a walk in the park. You can also bring your kids in this activity. Then there's a bamboo raft ride at the end of the riverside which will only take you farther to the deeper part of the river but returns for after like 15 minutes. Depending on the group size, you might have to wait for your turn before you can ride the raft. While waiting, you can swim in the river. The mountain hike to Malvar's peak is amazing. It is recommended for you to start the hike with the group at 5:30AM to catch the sunrise and the sea of clouds. There is a point in the hike where you'll have to choose wether you're going for the 'hard' trail or the 'medium' one. Kids and some active elderly people can handle the 'medium' trail but it only lead up to the middle of the trail. There's only an open space there with stone benches to sit on. There's no view of the summit. The 'hard' trail though, is actually kinda easy for people whou are used to climbing. They already prepared a path to the summit. But it may be challenging for some because it is slippery. From the deciding point (the point of the trail where you'll have to choose either from hard and medium), it's going to take you about another 45 minutes to reach the summit. (Note: make sure you have insect repellent on because there's a lot of mosquitoes on the summit). The view above is wonderful. You'll definitely enjoy watching the clouds flowing like a river. There's just one problem though, the space on the summit is a bit cramped. It can only allow up to about 10 people. You won't enjoy the view as you hoped if there are groups of people racing to get their photos. Thankfully, more than half of our original group opted for the medium trail and there were only about 15 of us left to continue the hike. The guides are helpful and friendly. You can tell them if you want to rest a bit and they'll gladly answer your questions about the hike. Our guide (Macky) patiently waited for us before descending back because we haven't taken a proper photo of the view. Activities aside, the room we stayed in is fine. No, they don't have wifi, phone signal, and airconditioners. But that's what you came for. Connect to disconnect. But if I really want to just absorb the nature around me, I would appreciate it better if there were no videokes blaring noises from day to night. Seriously, I was still awake at 11pm trying to sleep with the sound of crickets and nocturnal birds but someone's singing their heart out. I know those 'singers' are not inside the complex and probably from other resorts but I wish there's a curfew in place to limit their singing up to 10pm. For your meals, you will be provided a stub that you will present to Loli's Kitchen. Food is ok. My favorite was our dinner. I enjoyed the pasta and soup and once again, the staffs are friendly. The brewed coffee was quite underwhelming tho but that's just nitpicking. Overall Pros: - Good for families - Friendly staffs - Great advocacy Cons: - The late night videoke - Unwelcoming swimming pool

It was a fun and nice calming nature experience. Good food really heavy meals. Nice ambience cozy rooms feels like natures home. River trip is outside the vicinity and you go for a walk in the community. Hiking is inside the area a lot of uphill steeps. Has a play area for kids. Game room with small court, table tennis, billiards (table and taco is in bad condition.) Has a nice pool to dip in. Many cabanas and places to chill n relax. We got the couple package for ₱5400 casita room w/ bfast and lunch overnight. Overall its a good place to be with nature and peaceful environment. Staffs are also friendly. We had to problem at all. They had bonfire at night too.

Detach from real world and attach with nature... relax and destress... visit this place and enjoy God's gift of fresh air, water, food, and environment. Clean and green and beautiful! They also have tribal demo of cooking using bamboo with food tasting and immersion with local tribes. I love the buffet too.

The water hike is to easy.. A hil hike is more interesting but still short 35 minute , hardest trail. This adventure is more for easy family park walk , for hikers looking more intense hike it is not worth the time going here and back , 5 hour total travel tike by car.

I loved the place! Quite near from our place, 1 hour :) I loved the story on how they started. it's inspiring and you will appreciate everything you see there. People are friendly and since I have a son with autism we really appreciate friendly non judgemental environment for him. They were very patient with him. The cabin is big and able to comfortably accommodate 7 of us. It has a provincial feeling which i liked. Though I had an issue with the bathroom it was quite smelly and the rug seemed use. Not comfortable using the bathroom. For the activities we Iiked it because it made my kids even me busy enjoying the activity and nature. I liked it that there's minimal mobile data or non at all. No TV, no gadgets for us adults and kids. We liked the riverwalking and the trekking. Their food was very good and from the long walk it was so rewarding. Will definitely go back again.

A very nice place to visit when you want to get away from the city. It's a relatively short drive from Manila, though you are advised to bring an SUV to manage the winding mountain roads. The roads are paved all the way, but some sections are still being constructed. The nature reserve covers a huge area, so even when all of the cabins are occupied, we were still able to avoid other people. Meal times are set and must be pre-booked in advance. If you want to avoid the crowds, you can come in an hour after the start of the meal times. We loved the natural materials used for the cottages. Of course being so close to nature means lots of bugs, so make sure to bring an insect repellant.

A one of a kind experience of the great outdoors. Very accommodating staff that catered to some of our requests that were not a part of the norm experience. The place also has an amazing advocacy to help the community and environment. Highly recommend this place

This is a peaceful and verdant paradise that will inspire you to deeply connect with the locals as well as nature. It is also a perfect getaway for me and fiancé. The whole place is lush and lovingly maintained. It is romantic for both human couples and the rare species of beautiful birds you will see in the trees. Accommodation is superb and food is generously portioned (mostly Filipino cuisine). Highlight of the whole trip is to meet the man behind this nature reserve, Lolo Toto. So warm and welcoming. He is very encouraging as we share our similar dream of rehabilitating a piece of land and helping a community. Tip: It was not mentioned in their website but you can request for vegetarian option for your meals. Can’t wait to come back. ❤️

Time your trip right so you can avoid large day trip groups. Excellent hiking adventure for the kids. We stayed in one of the cottages while some friends pitched tents.

Currently, it is highly recommended that you travel here using a 4x4 car or a van. It will be hard to travel using a sedan as the roads (especially when it rains) are not fixed. There are only two activities offered at the moment: nature walk and river trek. Food has to be pre-ordered. They serve mostly Filipino dishes. Meal rate is P300/head. Choose this place because you want to support the local travel industry in Rizal and to disconnect from the city as there is no internet and only smart has signal.

This place is perfect for disconnecting with our busy world. No mobile signal, activities such as hill trekking, river paddling, bonfire, or just plain old killing time under a lush forest. All staff are the friendliest. The place will freshen up your tired and worried soul. Try it, you'll thank me later.

Definitely a good place to go and the activities/package/ambience are very much worth it. The place is a bit of a challenge to go to but its worth it, with all the plants and trees that it felt like you're in a magical forest. Temperature is very cool there since it's in the mountains. The food is good. It's not mind blowing but its simple and has been prepared well and fits well with the ambiance of the place, which is back to nature and basics. What's just surprising a bit is the Forest Hike/Walk, which I thought was gonna be easy peasy (coming from a biker and hiker) but tuned out quite an exercise since it was steep and it took 2.5 hours. Thankfully the way up is covered in trees so it's not too hot. The room (Casita) is very nice and spacious, I have no issues with it. I liked all the service that the whole staff has provided, such as the good romantic dinner, private bonfire, briefing of the place, guides, etc.

This is the place to be if you want to commune with nature. There are 4 hiking trails of varying difficulty. However, some parts have been eroded due to the heavy rains. Safety ropes need to be put in place. There is a free river crossing that comes with your entrance. The nearby river (about 15 min walk) is NOT recommended. There are road hazards going to the river and the water is murky Note: There is no wifi nor mobile phone signal so better inform sigbificant people about your whereabouts.

Despite being a nature reserve, they allow guests to belt out their videoke skills. During reservation, we were informed that they were observing 30% capacity for the place, upon arriving, we were surprised to see so many guests. There was also a big group just drinking the day away. The place was crowded and the place was fully booked. They said that food was only allowed to be eaten in the restaurant, but when you roam around, guests were eating everywhere. I guess during times like these, things you uphold give way to profit. It's just sad because we were looking forward to have a nice and quiet getaway, that is why we chose this place. Turns out to be just another ordinary resort.

Very relaxing place with an activity suitable for all. Super love the place and the food!!! Sulit kaya bitin hehe.

From Q.C. it took us almost 2 hours to get there. It is quite easy to locate. Registration was a breeze and after an orientation and some coffee at the mess hall. We started to climb Malvar's Peak with our guide. Took us 2 hours with lots of gasping and pitstop. Would suggest to do it early in the morning or later in the afternoon. It could get hot on the mountaintop. The cottages in the area looks awesome but wasn't able to check it out since it was only a day trip for us. The landscaping and facility is well maintained. Buffet at the mess hall is highly suggested. The food is delicious and the black coffee is GREAT (Had like 3 to 5 cups for the day). The staff are friendly and quite attentive to our request. We enjoyed chatting with them as they have several suggestions and insights on how to go about our day trip. Would suggest to visit the place during its off peak period to avoid the crowd which based on some reviews could affect your experience here. We visited during the week day and we are quite happy to have the whole place almost to ourselves with no hustle and it was so peaceful. The visit the river via a short tricycle ride through the town streets instead of walking is so worth it. So better to get a ride than walk if you are conscious about your time. Small fee to pay at the river and that's it. Hope you guys enjoy the nature walk.

I like that they do an orientation with the guests when you check in. You get to buy-in on their vision and passion to preserve the forest and prevent flooding. The place is quite big but I’m a bit disappointed that the nipa cottages are too close together that you hear your “neighbor’s” noise and every chatter. Although, they have a 10:30pm “no noise” rule, it’s still defeats the purpose of why you are staying in a nature reserve. We were 4 families staying in 2 loft cottages right beside each other. I can’t imagine staying in that loft with strangers beside us. I can hear everything! I’m ok with roughing it up, no mobile connection, and simple amenities. But it could have been better if you really get the nature reserve experience. The cost of the accommodation included free breakfast. But, you have to pay P500 for a “supposedly buffet dinner.” The set up was a simple “family style” buffet (meaning not your usual chafing dishes) which is quaint. But when we went back to get more food, the kitchen said that they ran out already. When late guests came in, the kitchen staff all of a sudden had food to serve. We asked for the salad to be replenished and a kitchen staff came out with a bowl of greens. Upon seeing us and probably realized that we were going for seconds, immediately turned to go back to the kitchen! If they hadn’t said it was a buffet, we would completely accept it. I think that’s a bit tacky regardless of how much you paid for your accommodations. On the positive side, our companions enjoyed the early morning trek to Malvar peak. It was still nonetheless a fun time with family and friends.

Organized nature camp experience. Friendly staff and a safe haven for all. Very nice experience with Lolis kitchen. We also got to meet lolo toto the owner who's so approachable and friendly, always have a knack about life😊🇵🇭. Are we to come back? Definitely❤

This is a good place for family and team bldg. They have recreational area, townhall, swimming pool, mini zipline, etc. They include buffet lunch, trekking, river hiking and native interaction on the day tour. Staff are great. For me price was a bit high but all in all its great.

Beware that there is no way to just do a hike, it needs to be prebooked and guided only. There is no option to explore the forest alone even for payment. We travelled for 2+ hours to come to that conclusion (should have done our due diligence). The reception desk was unhelpful, fortunately another staff member was willing to ask a village acquaintance to guide us around the area and show the river - which was a delightful experience.

A great place to relax and unwind. Feel the nature at its finest. Cool breeze, good food, adventure hike and river excursion.

Quick escape from the bustling Metro. Perfect for weekend getaways for a much needed dose of fresh air. Notes: 1. The road is quite rough in some parts as you exit the highway 2. Bring mosquito repellant and flashlight 3. Wear comfortable footware 4. Bring your own toiletries and bathtowel 5. Smart is the only telco that has signal

The owners have a noble intention in this place which you could see during the briefing before checking-in. The food was good but expensive (500 pesos per meal). My only problem is its noisy starting at 10pm. There is a videoke nearby which is kinda surprising because I thought the place is in a remote area. There is also a noisy house playing loud music at the back of the dorm room. When you wake up you could hear their staff talking loudly while cleaning the grass. I barely had a good night sleep :-(

Very beautiful scenery in this nature reserve. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and were always quick to help. The food was delicious and the casita was spacious and intimate.

So worth it! All the staff is super accommodating and their mission is super admirable! I was a little worried that given the shift from buffet to plated food that it wouldn't be worth it, but there are different courses and it's all still filling and A+ Goes without saying that the hike is gorgeous and worth it and so is the river walk. I wish we had an extra day to just chill in the kubo because really, there's so much going on. Loved it.

The ecopark is clean and well-managed. The staff is helpful. Good place to disconnect and appreciate nature. Will definitely return.

It was overall a good experience. The accomodation is good as well as the food. All the staff during our stay are very accommodating and nice. If you wanna commune with nature, Mount Purro.

Had a disappointing experience, we went to the resort to mainly go up the mountain as it was included in the package. Took the 5 am hike, woke up at 4, came down at 4 40 when they said be ready at 445 in the lobby. Area was pitch black, we waited 2 hours then the guards told us the tour probably won't happen and the next one was 10am. When we went to see the receptionist at 8 he said the guy called in sick?? Why not let us know if that was the case to begin with? Asked for a refund for a wasted night and he said it's part of the package so they cannot refund us....... The same thing happened the next day, they told us the guide will come pick us up from the room. We woke up at 4 am turned the lights on opened the door at 4 55 and 5 10 and no one was there so we went back to sleep at 5 30 to not waste any more time. Came down and they said we missed it?????? Seriously disappointed in the staff. When you ask for something it should be delivered, they can come wake us up if we were sleeping... It's a contract. 2nd thing was the food, dinner is good but a breakfast for 350 pesos and you get 1 egg 4 pieces of bacon and 4 piece fruit salad was disappointing. You can buy this anywhere for around 100-150 pesos. Lastly the staff was very shy which should not be the case when you work in a customer service environment. Overall the place was nice but extremely pricy for the lack of service, location, activities and communication from the employees.

We stayed over here for team building. A great place to relax and unite with nature. Food is good, easy hiking and trekking.

Great family experience. Good challenging hike to the top. Nice refreshing river trek also. The kids playground is also well equipped, kept my children busy for hours. Oh food is great too

It was an amazing experience staying there in Mt. Purro Nature Reserve. I recommend that you get one of their casitas, which was spacious enough to fit even 4 people. I love that they have seating areas on both sides of the casitas interior. The place itself is refreshing, lush and we saw lots of butterflies feeding among flowers. They have a promo these days, our promo package included a candlelight dinner for two at one of their tastefully designed and well appointed gazebos and a bonfire pit complete with marshmallows, hotdogs and graham crackers. Just lovely!

I did a long weekend personal retreat here away from the city life. No signal just a perfect getaway for meditation, recollect self and personal reflection, also did mountain climbing great for newbies like me. Also the food serving was great(and alot lol)

Mount Purro Nature Reserve (MPNR) is a family-run eco-park, in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. It covers vast area in a lush forest 🌳. Sustainability and respect for the nature is seen in every structure and every detail of MPNR. One may visit MPNR as a day tour or stay for the night. The reservation (mandatory, no walk in) is being done through their website. Day tour option (stay, hike, swim) includes using all the facilities (swimming pool, playground, place for bonfire, gazebos etc), activities (Forest Walk and River Walk) and lunch (rich in variety and very tasty). Personnel is friendly and accommodating. Upon our visit in December, the place was nicely decorated with numerous Christmas 🤶 items. Highly recommended to visit. If you look at the photo in cafeteria, you may spot that the ancestor of the owner was a member of the Ilustrados. It seems that the tradition of mindfulness and working for the benefit of the community and the nation is still strong in the family 😀

The only bad thing about it was the location. Calawis road that goes to the place was harsh. Cemented yes but one lane has fallen to disrepair and promotes counterflowing motorists. This coupled with the treacherous blind curves and lack of street lights makes the place dangerous to go to especially at night. However, if you do reach it, the place is very nice and the food was especially good. There's a pool and an obstacle course area for guests to use freely. The place also offeres hikes for free and is a must do. Note however that the place does not have good cellular signal and wifi.

I give it an additional star for its purpose but other than that, they should really train their staff better. My chief complaints would just be about their food. Although their food is delicious and comforting, I find their juices a little too sweet and vegetables a little too salty. My family and I would dilute more than half of the glass with water just to thin out the sweetness of the juices. And I'd eat 1 piece of sayote at a time with a tablespoonful of rice just to reduce the saltiness of the dish. They're also pretty clueless about what vegetarians eat and don't eat. I was asked if they can serve our vegetarian with fish, or even chicken. They're probably just making sure but it's a stretch. On a positive note, it's pretty easy to book their activities. They just need to work on their communication skills instead of replying to me with "We will find out if Activity A will happen when you get here." Not everyone's as spontaneous as those without kids.

We had a nice vacation for 2 days here. The place is cozy and relaxing. Love the breeze. The people are very friendly. The river and forest trips are great. We stayed in a Casita, and it was really well maintained, clean, fresh and we appreciate the structure and design. The food is great! Fresh, tasty and filling! Just a quick 1.5 hr travel from Manila

Great to being nature. Well run with great staff

It's beautiful. They grow their own fruits and vegetables. You can swim in the nearby river. And the staff are wonderful. Also, there were fireflies in our room!

A family run mountain place that employs its own people that is popularly called the Dumagats. It has a bamboo styled sleeping units for small and big crowd up to a hundred. Food is great served in buffet style. Trekking, tree planting and simply relaxing are a must here. Enjoyed the place with my best friend.

Near Metro Manila. Well maintained rustic environment with the owner's touch who lives there. Homey pleasant atmosphere. Mountain hiking is great and exhilarating at the peak and it can be done before breakfast. Good food, good coffee and natural fruit drinks. You can have a dip in the river too. Learning experience on how a reforestation activity can be sustained with the participation of the Indegenous Peoples

A place conducive for rest, recreation and retreats because nature is flourishing here. One is surrounded by lush trees and vegetation, a flowing stream, and the sounds of crickets. One may simply come here to snuggle in bed, catch up on sleep or read a book. Those who want activities may choose to swim, play indoor games in the Game Room, go hiking, try the zipline or interact with the Dumagat tribespeople. The staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating. The place is owned by a family that has invested much in the development and preservation of the area and the local Dumagat tribespeople. I like their advocacy for the indigenous people, for poor people, and for the environment. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5-star rating is the food. Meals are priced at P500 for lunch/dinner buffet and P400 for breakfast buffet. What was served to us didn't seem worth the price. :-( The selection for each meal was really just about 4 dishes and these tasted ho-hum.

The owner of this place gave a living to Dumagat tribe. Peaceful & tranquil. We reserved for 6 pax, sadly, reduced to 3. But still prepared us 6 mattress to sleep on. No issues on accommodation itself. Not 100% insect free but the net around the cabin served its purpose. You just need to close door every time. No need aircon as well since it's cold at night. You might want to put #3 to #1 on fan lol. All visitors should use their inclusions: hike, river, etc. Everything accommodated. Go try their buffet! Should go back with friends. No drinking liquors. Disconnect from urban. Only smart ntwrk (i think) has signal. Pet friendly. Snacks only no heavy food. Thank you so much MPNR. Also try Patio Calawis restaurant along the way.

We loved the place. Its perfect for those who want a little solitude and commune with nature. You have to watch the video upon check in to understand the vision of the owners. Truly admirable. We had a pleasant experience except that the food is a little bit pricey for us. Overall the stay was memorable!

Nice place to be with nature. Only a couple of hours from Metro Manila. Easy to find even when commuting. All-in packages and promos allow you to save and not worry about anything. We availed of the couple's retreat and they even set up a candle-lit dinner for us. Enjoyed the smores and bonfire. Weren't able to try the pool. Our package included hiking. It's a fairly easy trail, if not for the mud making everything slippery. The guides could be a lot more helpful given how dangerous it could be. No one was there to assist at the flank. Staff are super friendly. blog - rainbowjournal . com

Great food, great place, great people! ❤️

This place is highly recommended to people who needs to relax, to have a peace of mind and to connect with the environment.

Very homey

I can live here!

Relaxing. Plenty of plants.

Good for retreat and relaxation

A balikbayan friend and her foreigner husband requested for an overnight trip with the barkada to be able to bond. We wanted something different other than the usual Tagaytay, Batangas or Subic trip. A friend who had long wanted to go to Mount Purro Nature Reserve suggested it and everyone agreed. Selling point was that it was around an hour and fifteen minutes away from the Eastwood area. Some friends were into hiking and loved being around nature. Some were not used to being without the usual comforts of home. It was synonymous though that we all looked forward to this new kind of bonding and adventure, and have the kids experience being outdoors for a change. Another plus is that I knew the family who owns Mount Purro Nature Reserve. Even before having the privilege of visiting on several celebrations of the family, I was already well aware of their warmth, kindness, and generosity. Every time I visit, I feel and see these same characteristics in how each staff was trained and how every detail of the surroundings fell into place. The briefing videos upon check-in, which aimed to share the roots and vision of Mount Purro Nature Reserve, set the tone for the weekend. Acknowledging God and His creation and giving back by caring not only for nature but for each other was effectively related. I have been to Mount Purro Nature Reserve several times already, but it was my first time to stay overnight. From inquiring up to check-out, we were dealt with kindness and with overwhelming Filipino hospitality. Since it was a new kind of adventure for our barkada, there were a lot of inquires made, from food restrictions to facility concerns, among a few. Each inquiry was handled patiently and promptly. Since one of the family members was a batch mate of our barkada, we could’ve “name dropped” to our advantage. We never had to though since each and every guest was naturally treated specially by the staff. A tag line of Mount Purro Nature Reserve is aptly “Disconnect to Connect.” There was no wifi, no cellular signal (at least for Globe subscribers), no television, and while we’re at it, no aircon. There were a lot of pre-scheduled activities (all with guides slash “photographers” who had our safety as their priority) that could be joined that didn’t make us realize that there were none of these. As soon as we arrived, we joined the river trek, which was the activity that the kids enjoyed the most. Then in the afternoon we interacted with the Dumagats, who were the natural inhabitants of the mountains and generously welcomed by Mount Purro Nature Reserve. In the evening we joined the community bonfire. The next day we hiked to Malvar’s Peak as the sun was rising. During lull times, which were very few, we enjoyed staying in our accommodations and in the many cabanas, while the kids swam in the pool, explored the play area, and braved the zipline. Actually, we found ourselves eating in the very homey Loli’s kitchen every few hours. The food was just excellent. The home-cooked buffet spread always hit the spot and the staff was attentive. Not having an aircon wasn’t an issue at all. We came first week of February, so it was pleasant even in the afternoon. We slept without even opening the ceiling fan in our loft. It was a different kind of adventure for our barkada indeed. A special kind of adventure. We were able to bond with each other, with other people, with nature, and with God. We were reminded of the basics which truly matter, and left with a sense of respect and responsibility. On the way home, we were already talking about going back with our own families and recommending the experience to other friends. Thank you Malvars for opening up your beautiful haven to everyone. God bless your hearts for finding joy and peace in what truly matters – God, Nature and People.

It was a breathtaking experienced as we climbed the Malvar's Peak at 419m above sea level. The ambiance of MPNR was very good because of it's friendly staff, quiet place, good food and fresh air far from pollution at the city.

Very relaxing. Thank you for great experience. Specially Kay kuya Sonny na tour guide nmin.

the place was beautiful and peaceful. the cabin/ cottage was clean and comfortable. i don't suggest this for the elders - as there's a lot of walking up and down. we were trying to advantage of the hike to the falls, but the posted time was different from when they were actually going to do it. we chose a private guide instead and that was fun. the food, although buffet, was a but pricey but the selection was reasonable.

Very nice place and staff!

Had a lovely time with family and nature.. Highly recommended for those who want to be disconnected from citylife traffik and all kind of stress.. The place is ideal for seminars retreat weddings and staycation.. Cottages and rooms were clean and the price is very reasonable... The food is delicious and good for vegans too. They have swimming pool as well a game room.. They organize as well outdoor activities such as mountain hiking to the falls early in d the morning to watch the sunrise..

Nice place to relax..

Great place to bond with family!

An ideal place if you want a break from the noise and pollution in the metro. The amount you pay is also put to good use, that is to protect nature so that it can continue protecting us. My complements to the chef also. I didn't expect the food to be this good!

Great place for an outdoors family getaway

I feel peace here. The air is clean. The trees are plenty. You will love it here.

Relaxing and quiet

Very good place for experience

It was just ok. Nothing phenomenal.

Relaxing

A great escape from the city.

High quality without over spending

If you want to disconnect from the internet and the busy city life, this is the place to go. About an hour and a half (minus the traffic) from the city, this place offers a very serene place, with lush trees and cold weather. The staff is friendly and accommodating. If you're lucky, you can have a quick chat with the owner, Mang Toto. I recommend this place if you're into nature tripping and wants an internet detox.

Very Relaxing

Unwind here!

Get ready to get your feet wet during the river trek. Early morning well spent communing with self and nature.

A very very cozy place to unwind, as long as you don't mind the long bumpy ride from the highway to the location

Where do you stay to explain this place... It's a natural resort with activities to explore the area. They serve wonderful food and have local guides to take you around. Overnight stay would be nice. Bike up to the peak is worth it.

They offer great day tour and overnight packages: you can hike, swim, eat, and play games. Not that far from Masinag.

Beautiful place with good facilities, outdoor activities, super nice staff and delicious food. A great way to see and appreciate nature. You will never regret coming here ☺️

The route to mount purro is rough roads so suggest to bring off road or big SUV only. And when we got there it was closed, wasted travel time. It was shown in Pop Talk for it's food offering, closed naman pala.

If you want a safe and clean place where you disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and connect with nature, then this is the place for you. Good service, good food, clean facilities. Owner Toto Malvar (an envirinmentalist) is also a nice, informative and gracious host. Highly recommended.

We live the life we could and through MPNR you can experience an extra ordinary lifestyle with Nature. Highly recommended, all the staffs are very accomodating and the experience was awesome. A lot of fun activities and a beautiful view everyday. Hope to visit again soon.

The place is nice. it has an amazing view on the top of trail .Good atmosphere and the foods are really good.

A relaxing place to share with your friends and family. Disconnect from digital world and reconnect with nature.

Nice place to relax and unwind.. Staff are very accommodating.. Food is great, plus this place is pet friendly.. If you're a nature lover, You'll definitely enjoy your stay here.

So fresh environment, air was clean and unpolluted...scenery was superb!

Very refreshing stress relief.

Relaxing place but the way to Mount Purro is a different story 😁

A vast expanse of things to do as long as you have enough money to shell out. Haven't yet experienced everything the place has to offer. Good for team building activities and if you want to stay off the grid for a good while.

The place is perfect if you want to relax and take your mind off from work. The staff are very accommodating and the food is great. Will be sure to come back!

We celebrated Christmas at Mount Purro Nature Reserve. Everything in this place is so great. The weather is like Baguio's-- so cold especially at dawn. Their food is so delicious. Their coffee... love love love it. We booked the romantic retreat package and we are more than satisfied. Our accommodation (Casita) is so clean and cozy. The place is so lovely. There are plenty of activities that Mount Purro Nature Reserve offers. We've tried the river excursion, forest walk, and bonfire (both in romantic package and in group). They also have an activity area where you can play billiard, table tennis, foosball, scrabble, chess, and sungka. They also offer tree planting activity that should be booked in advance. MPNR also has a swimming pool. Moreover, when you stay at MPNR you are actually helping their community and the environment. 😊

Beautiful nature and views. Very clean. Friendly staff.

Great place to stay. Really enjoyed the nature there, the ambience, the temperature is sooo cool and refreshing even without aircon on their casitas. Great food too ( no menu available here so you just have to eat what they serve but it's all sumptuous naman)! Though cash basis lang sila and we were not informed before hand kaya ang hirap ng payment. So better prepare cash specially if you only paid dp before coming. No wifi din since you really have to disconnect to connect (but it's a good thing, you have time to meditate and enjoy the nature) only Smart Network works. Be sure to bring a set of slippers and hiking shoes for the pre-activities. Overall, we enjoyed the place ❤️

An ecotourism site in Rizal which will make you feel like in the middle of the mountains. It was a very relaxing stay. Highly recommended.

The first Yoga retreat by Haliya Yoga Retreats was held in this beautiful place. The staff were really accommodating. The management helped us make the retreat possible and adjusted to our request to make the chosen facility really conducive for our activities (Yoga asana practices, meditation, and other activities). It was so nice to truly be disconnected from all the busyness of city life and just be able to easily connect with nature and go within ones self. As one of the facilitators, I never imagined that such experience would bond everyone in just that short span (an overnight retreat). The participants and us facilitators became friends with the stories shared and it helped that the ambiance made it so calming. It helped everyone feel so relaxed and just enjoy the moment without the worries and problems in the external. We’ll surely come back for another retreat experience with MPNR. :)

We love this place! The cottages are homey! The food is great! You’re at the heart of nature! The cool climate is perfect. You breathe fresh air!

A lot to see, to do and to eat. 4 star because we weren't able to do the river excursion ☹️ they did not inform us first hand that it is seasonal.

Very relaxing ang ambiance nang place, the staffs are very accomodating.. If nature lover ka, you'll surely love this place.

Very relaxing place plus great food ❤

A really wonderful experience. Spent 3 days and 2 nights with the family and friends last week. Great service, delicious food and fun activities to keep all ages occupied. This was the second trip to the resort and will definitely come back again.

Nice and cozy place. Disconnecting to connect with nature. No signal for your devices and not so much stores nearby. 11/10. Warning to those who are going when there is typhoon, some bridges are impassable.

If your nature lover, you might consider this place. The park features a diverse range of ecosystem which includes forest,rivers and waterfalls. it is also home of variety of wild life such as birds,monkeys and lizards.This is great destination if you want to experience beauty of nature while supporting sustainable tourism!.

Great place to get away from the city! Only about 1.5 hours away but when you're there it feels like a totally different world. Hardly any cell signal, but that can be a good thing too. The trail hike was harder than I expected, the river walk was refreshing! Food was amazing!

Mount Purro Nature Reserve is an amazing destination for nature lovers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the beauty and serenity of the place. The reserve is nestled in the mountains and surrounded by lush forests, making it the perfect retreat for those seeking some peace and quiet.

Came here to celebrate my son's birthday. The place was okay but the downside was their staff's bad attitude and behavior and also despite being a nature reserve, they allow guest to play loud music using the videoke at 10 am in the morning for the field trip that was made there. They even set the mic volume so loud that when one of the guide explains and orient the students you can clearly hear it from your room and that what will keeps you wide awake even if you are still so sleepy and tired. Plus im telling you also that most of the staff there are not friendly and accomodating but more likely arrogant even if you try to talk with them nicely. Specifically that one short chubby girl at the reception desk who always miscalculate the computation for the food voucher multiple times and that one old chubby lady in loli's kitchen that doesn't try to accept guest requests and will bad mouth the guest instantly inside the kitchen. Lastly, the food was pricey and not worth it and they make this irrelevant regulation about the food that shouldn't be eaten inside the rooms, I just hope they can change this rule since some guest can't have their meal at loli's kitchen if they will arrive there late and also loli's kitchen close so early so i hope they should give the guest other options or way to eat when the kitchen's is not available during the time the guest need or feel to eat. The owners have a noble intention in this place which you could see during the briefing before checking in, and i admire their advocacy for the watershed and the dumagats but I hope they do better than this next time. This place could be more way better from my expectation but I guess not if they will continue their system like this. Side note: They have false advertisement. The river is not a part of the nature reserve and you need to ride a trike on your own expense. The river is far from Mt. Purro and is near residential areas

Went for the mountain romantic retreat. I think every couple should do this at least once. We are going back for our 3rd time. The food is excellent and everyone on the staff is super friendly and helpful. This is a MUST GO PLACE !!!

Mount Puro Nature Reserve is one of the best trips I've had in Antipolo. The place has very fresh and cool air and it is the great options for anyone who'd like to get closer to nature. Beautiful mountain resort.☺☺

Nice place,very relaxing..staff r very accomodating ..well served food..very clean rooms and toilets.had a great time..kudos to ll of u..thank u to all staff esp to nurse jam dimo kami iniwan...hehe..good job...

Who would have known that you don't need to travel far for a great relaxation. I love the place soo much. Very homey and nature-y.. All staff are friendly and accommodating. I like it most that you can just sit and relax to any open huts and just be.. Then appreciate the birds chirping, wind passing through the trees, the sound of the small river flowing, then at night you'll hear crickets, feel the cool breeze and if you're lucky you'll spot fireflies around. Very relaxing!! The food selections are also superb! No need to worry about getting hungry at all! (though all meals are pre-booked) The forest hike is a must do where you can get the chance to witness sea of clouds, really amazing! River trek as well is an extra-ordinary experience! you will literally walk in the river. The balsa ride gives you the best view of the mountains. Mount Purro Nature Reserve is truly a hidden gem that everyone needs to visit to appreciate more our nature and also an eye opener on how to be more pro-active in helping save our environment.
