    Beautiful place indeed. I like how they have staff who will offer their assistance to take your pictures for you, very convenient. The flowers are so lovely and beautifully arranged. It's like a little Dubai Miracle Garden. Keep it up!

    Any type of plantation especially in the hills and the mountains will prevent soil erosion. The aesthetic component which mainly consist of how good the place is landscaped is an added bonus for the pleasure and enjoyment of all who come to the place. Though this place is quite far from the city proper, it's worth the trip

    ## A Hidden Gem in the Mountains Buwakan ni Alejandra was a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively! Nestled in the cool mountain embrace of Balamban, Cebu, this beautiful garden offered a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. **A Floral Paradise:** Arriving late in the afternoon, we were immediately greeted by a symphony of colors. Flowers of all shapes and sizes bloomed across the meticulously landscaped grounds, from vibrant hibiscus to delicate lilies. Each corner offered a new visual feast, making it a photographer's delight. **Warmth Beyond the Cool Breeze:** Despite the slightly chilly mountain air, the friendly attendants exuded warmth and helpfulness. They readily answered our questions and even offered their expertise in capturing stunning photos and videos for free – a service that went above and beyond! **Affordable Tranquility:** We were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable entrance fee, further adding to the appeal of this hidden gem. Even with several visitors enjoying the space, the vastness of the garden ensured there was always a quiet corner to relax and soak in the peacefulness of nature. **A Gentle Reminder:** Just a friendly heads-up for future visitors: the scenic mountain roads leading to Buwakan ni Alejandra can get foggy, especially late in the afternoon. So, if you're visiting during rainy season, take it slow and drive cautiously. The breathtaking views and serene atmosphere will be well worth the extra care! **Overall:** Buwakan ni Alejandra exceeded our expectations on all fronts. From the stunning floral displays to the welcoming staff and the tranquil atmosphere, it's a must-visit for anyone seeking a nature escape in Cebu. I highly recommend it and rate it 5 out of 5 stars!

    The place is located on top of the mountain. It was quite a drive but worth it. The flowers are so beautiful and surrounded with the mountain. There's a restaurant in side but food I wanted to order is not available. However the sandwich, shake, halo halo are so good. I enjoyed my visit, and I can recommend to all to drop by this amazing placed.

    Details of the garden is a must see! One of my favorites. Plantita’s heaven I must say. Also has very friendly staff stationed to take photos for free. Not much people were there even on a weekend. They are still expanding. The food is amazing, try the local dishes and refreshments at a very reasonable price. Located along the highway. Has a mountain view resort just next to it if you have plans swimming.

    If you're a flower fanatic and nature lover this is a good place! Has a good amount of breezy air and the best way to get sweaty. 100 peso entrance worthy❤️

    Fields of flowers, we spent 10-30 minutes here looking around the place and admiring the view. Even when the weather isn't great the place still looks very beautiful. At the time of writing priced at Php 100/head for adults

    Weather was perfect when we visited Buwakan ni Alejandra last October (weekend). The plants were arranged, grouped, organized aesthetically and pretty amazing they must have planned it really well. The place didnt looked cheap unlike the sirao garden. We were lucky that many of their flowering plants were in bloom. The crowd is ok. There were times we were alone on some spots and got really good instagramable photos. Crowd is mostly groups are families. They have parking space for free but i bet on weekends it get full like the time we were there. They have resto but havent tried any of their food except for their mango shake which is ok. They have entrance fee of 100 pesos. I thought that it was a hifty price but after seeing how they managed the place i think 100 pesos is worth it. Because this is a park, i would rate this place 5 star if only they have benches on their gardens. Other than the resto, theres no other place to sit down and enjoy the view.

    Super pretty place. Much more colourful and well maintained than Sirao garden in design and authenticity in our comparison. Adventure cafe next door is also fun zipline.

    The place is nice. They strictly don't allow the tourist to pick flowers. There will be a penalty for this action. There is a restaurant available, with a beautiful view. There are photographers available inside but they require an extra charge.

    Beautiful gardens and a great view. It was a lot cooler up here than the city, especially with a breeze and a halo halo to cool us down. I got a coffee, neat little single use pour over bag. Looks like the coffee is grown in Sagada. I would recommend this place when you're passing through.

    This spot is ideal for relaxation and enjoying garden views. Although they have a restaurant, we haven’t tried them yet. The entrance fee is affordable, making it budget-friendly for all. The garden is spacious with various paths, so taking your time is recommended. However, besides that, there isn’t much else to do except staying at their restaurant and taking all the time you need while chitchatting.

    This now costs ₱100 each (year 2023) and you can rent their umbrella. They have rep who will take photos of you & your group for free. Some areas are still under construction and their CR is limited. It's not too wide but it's not that bad. I was hoping there are more unique types of flowers but it's still fine. It's best if you visit early because it can get too crowded especially on weekends.

  • 4/5 Xyra June A. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful landscaping, friendly staff, someone will welcome you upon entrance. Good food. Literal downside is you'll have to walk a downhill steep path not stairs upon entering but the exit is with stairs.

    For 75 pesos (50 pesos for Seniors and PWDs), you can get a breath-taking scenery. Also, one of their staff Ms. Liezel lend a help for us to have a family picture and she got a great shots 😊 Ms. Liezel really gave us a great accomodation while we are out there 🥰 Really recommended to visit this place 💜

  • 4/5 ann cathryn A. 1 year ago on Google
    It was beautiful!!! However, I am giving a 4-star review because its entrance is not elderly-friendly. It is too steep. As a tip, you should only visit the place if you are certain that it will not rain.

  • 5/5 Nikko Z. 1 year ago on Google
    instagrammable place, when we get there it's raining so we got an added fog effect 🥰 an employee approached us to help in taking pictures (its weekday and not much visitor at that time). and since we are a group we allow him so we can focus on our posing 🤣. we give him extramoney as a token of appreciation.

    Traveling to Buwakan ni Alejandra by DIY is a challenging adventure, from Cebu City commuting by public transport means you are prepared come what may,We reached the mountain garden, bewildered by the awesome picturesque of the place, The weather is sunny but later in the afternoon,fog clouds show up, cooling the Buwakan,A colorful garden meticulously landscape invites you to take more pictures with you captured by the camera.More and more stories could be written about the place but I recommend you personally visit the place, you will not regret it

    It was raining when we went there but it was still worth it. Different flowers were blooming and great scenery.

  • 5/5 Hany Grace T. 7 months ago on Google
    The place was so beautiful and the added factors of a sunny weather and it not being so crowded on a weekend was great. There were also a lot of spots to take pictures at and the space was not too cramped, making it easy to move around. Overall, a marvelous experience.

    it was a beautiful not so sunny day. they got staffs who'll greet you as you enter and tells you a few reminders. they got a restaurant now too. we ordered banana split, halo2x (not really good) and pancit (i like it!). i like where the restaurant was, it's overlooking the beautiful mountains. we went there with my almost 3 month old baby. refreshing!

    Buwakan ni Alejandra needs an hour or more ride from Cebu city. You will need to hire a vehicle since there are no public one available. The place is situated on top of the mountain areas. Fogs visit on regular occasions so expect cool breeze in the area. The place has a restaurant and snack bar. It does lack a place to stay for the night. The place is wide and has great scenery.

  • 5/5 ANTONETTE A. 11 months ago on Google
    The place was a wow!!!! The garden meticulously arranged & designed & your eyes feasts on the multitude of colors, textures of variety of plants. Set amidst a mountaintop, you see fog & clouds mingling with the riot of colors greeting your eyes. What a beautiful garden!!!

  • 5/5 Joe M. 10 months ago on Google
    The flowers were beautiful. Entrance fee only 100/adult. Not crowded. Staff very friendly and will assist with photos for free (tip expected). The cafe has delicious dessert.

    Entrance fee - P100.00 It's a splendid flower garden. Our two hours had passed by unnoticed. They have a photographer that will help capture your best moments free of charge. It was my first time seeing a pink and hairy banana. What a delightful experience.
