Spent the day here and it was AMAZING! The carabao ride was pretty nifty and the best part - our carabao was named Sexy! hahahah. We had someone who was playing the guitar and another lady was singing. We went straight to the waterfalls restaurant. What a unique experience!! It was quite crowded and we were lucky to get there early enough that we were able to find tables for like ... 20 of us that went. I wore slippers that day anticipating that I would be wearing it when we went into the water, but our tour guide highly suggested taking it off because if your slipper comes off your foot, it will float away, down the river, fast. I am filipino, but I never eat with my kamay (hand), but I appreciate them wanting to have the guests experience eating with their hands. I do wish we got a table close to the falls, but not at the front because a lot of people like to go up to the waterfall to take pictures and having people bump into me would bother me. Afterwards, we waited in line to use the bamboo rafts and the line was long. We ended up giving up because people were taking a long time venturing and not returning the rafts. I wish that they had someone to enforce some type of time limit when there's a lot of people waiting. We stayed and watched the filipino folk dancing. Our guide told us to get there early to reserve a table because it gets packed and she was right - it was crowded and we were lucky to have a table. They a bar to order food and drinks from and they had people wait on the tables. It was cool watching the folk dancing and I like how it was performed by the staff that works there. I wish they would have let audience members go up and do some of the dances, particularly tinikiling. I really wanted to jump on stage and do it! I wish we had more time to explore because the villa is huge. We didn't have time to go to the museum because our relatives were tired out. I would love to come back and eat at the restaurant again!

The museum and cultural show are great for educational tours.The place is clean and well-maintained. The restrooms are always clean inspite of heaps of people coming in and out.The atmosphere is relaxing.The staff are friendly and attentive.There are food available for purchase, which are not overpriced compared to other places of attraction in the country. The lunch buffet though, even very Pinoy, can be improved in terms of variety.

Summer..finally! Villa escudero is a family resort for those wanting to have a laid-back vacation with a twist. From alabang, we got there in no time, the 2-hour ride was a breeze and the plantation was easy to find. From the entrance to the reception area, an abundance of coconut trees lined the road,giving it that authentic countryside feel,which was good. A welcome drink of unlimited gulaman was thirst-quenching( coconut or buko juice would have been better) as visitors freshen up and talk with the ever present receptionists, who were very pleasant and willing to answer our queries about what we can do for the rest of our day tour and tell us about the history of the resort. After being given our tickets, we went to the pick-up area for our carabao ride to the museum and the falls, we were serenaded with filipino songs while being transported to the pool area by luningning( 1 of i think 5 resident carabaos). We decided to forgo the museum tour since we came with our 1 year old niece and my mother who were both restless at the time(hungry maybe?). So off we went to the pool area to inspect the river , the cottages, the swimming pools and take in the rest of the surroundings. We came early, so we were told that lunch will start at around 11 until 2, so we waited. As a whole, the entire plantation was clean, the restrooms were pristine and well-maintained, the river had fishes that you could feed and catch all you can( you would only pay for the bait and rod),and have it cooked for free. There were plenty of guides to assist you and answer your questions, unlike some resorts who had staff who will only look at you if you ask something, as if you were speaking e.t's language. Highly commendable was the staff who patiently assisted my mother(sorry, i forgot his name), in going down the ramp to the falls and back up again after our lunch. Lunch...you go down the stairs or ramp and go barefoot or wear your rubber slippers as the moss from the river can get slippery, to reach the dining area..an unusual but a different kind of experience. The man-made falls were mesmerizing and we had a grand time taking pictures, even if our feet were submerged in 2 feet or so of flowing cool river water,even my little niece had fun playing there. We were served authentic filipino foods, but the beef kaldereta (beef stew) was a standout, soft and melt-in-the-mouth beef meat spiced just right! After a heavy lunch, it was off to the swimming pool area for a relaxing dip( it has 3 pools)and afterwards a nice tall glass of halo-halo(iced mixed fruits) and buko shake. Food was not allowed inside the resort since the buffet lunch was included in the day tour package, the restaurant food menu was reasonably priced , but you can bring snacks and beverages if you want. The in-house photographer was very skilled and professional in taking pictures of our group but i think the 150 pesos per print of our souvenir photo was too much, so better keep your tripods and selfie sticks on hand if you want good pictures. Would i go back to villa escudero?? Definitely! It was on top of my summer bucket list anyway and it.was.worth.it.

My family and I really enjoyed the day. I booked directly through the company. We didn't use a travel & tours company because I found it cheaper to just book directly with Villa Escudero. First, Joel, with Densha Transportation, made sure our driver & van was on time to pick us up from the place we were staying. Densha Transportation was recommended by Villa Escudero & this was also the lowest price I found for transportation [4000 pesos for an all day driver]. The ride there was fine. The day was smooth. We enjoyed looking at the museum but I feel like the second level of the museum wasn't as interesting and the first level. The caribou ride was fine and we had someone singing and playing a mini-guitar on the ride to keep entertained. The experience eating at the Waterfalls was AMAZING! That was probably the highlight of the visit. Our server was so attentive. He got all of our food for us and he made sure we were stuffed! The food tasted good as well. Be a little careful though because it can be a little slippery, but you should be fine walking around the waterfalls area. We enjoyed the complimentary bamboo rafting and we rented fishing poles (for 100 pesos- I believe). We didn't catch any fish but it was nice to park the raft and try to fish. I hurt myself on the fishing pole and it was really nice to see that they had a first-aid station on site. The nurse was attentive and careful. Finally, the cultural show (only offered on weekends right now) was entertaining. We enjoyed watching the dancers and instrument playing. It was a fun day! We were definitely tired by the end of the trip.

Went for a day trip for Valentine's Day and experienced something different and fun...from the carabao cart ride,Filipino lunch buffet by the waterfalls(getting your feet soaked in flowing water while you eat) to the cultural show(it was funny and the costumes were colorful)...the museum was interesting enough but the food was just so-so...we didn't get to do the boating as it was too hot and the line was long but all in all,it was an unforgettable valentine's day celebration!

The Villa offers a lot of things to do: the museum for the culturally-minded, a glimpse of Filipino rural life for visitors and natives alike, the playground and swimming pools for the kids, and the young at heart, and the carabao cart ride and the waterfalls lunch for those seeking a unique Philippine experience.

I guess it didn't help that San Pablo City had their Fiesta on the day we decided to visit. It took over 3 hours to get there. The 'museum' is more like an old house with grandmas collection of teaspoons as the major attraction. The whole place looked very run down, dusty and uncared for. The hydro dam and eating in the water was fun. We wanted to go rafting on the lake but the line was too long. The 'cultural show' was ok, but we left early feeling disappointed. I guess it is good for family with kids, but not much fun for couple. It took 4 1/2 hours to get back to Manila.
