Every year, our team, the Finance Team is yearning for a once-a-year company outing to rejuvenate our minds from everyday tasks (rush, urgent, important but not urgent, name it we have it! haha!). For this year, everyone favored the nearest resort, Shercon Resort and Ecology Park situated in Mataas na Kahoy in Batangas with the anticipation that it will provide a sublime respite for each individual.

Shercon Resort and Ecology Park

Tucked in a quaint and verdant location and with breathtaking view of Tagaytay Ridge and Taal Lake, Shercon Resort is an ideal resort for a relaxing getaway. It offers swimming pools, 60 nice rooms, function halls and areas for special occasions like Weddings, Team Buildings, Parties and other events. They have recreational facilities too for zipline, rock climbing, rappelling, hanging bridge and maze.

Swimming Pools 

What made Shercon Resort famous is its 11 pocket pools. Aside from this, it has six swimming areas that will surely want visitors to take a dip.

Here are their pools:

• Hidden Pool
• Hotel Pool
• Sophia’s Duck Pool
• Prime Pool
• Forestville Pool
• Infinity Pool
• Ecology Pool

We spent almost two and a half hours in getting to Shercon Resort from our office in Makati. Our team will stay in Club Manuel Suites. Upon entering in our designated room, we immediately dropped our bags and went to the veranda to look at the breathtaking view. It was a downcast afternoon but we were delighted of what our eyes were feasting. The view was refreshing!

We took rest and changed to swim wears. Yes, we will go to swim now! Haha!

The sprawling resort was huge that is has shuttle service roaming in the designated areas. We boarded the vehicle in front of our suite and headed to the 11 pocket pools.

We were expecting that the famous 11 pocket pools were big as what we saw in the pictures. However, they were small-clustered pools that is ideal for the kids who want to hop from one pool to the other. There were less people in that time so we enjoyed dipping in the water.

We had our dinner in the FVS Reception Hall. It was a 5-minute walk coming from our room. Little later, we headed to the Hotel Pool and spent the night soaking our tired bodies in the water. We waited until the pool closed.

Our Room

Our room has two double beds, each with a pull out bed, one private bathroom, led TV, small table with two chairs. It has toiletries, coffee, creamer and bottled water.

What I really love in our room is the veranda. I had a wonderful time looking at the night sky. It was so delightful to stargaze. It was so peaceful.

We comfortably slept in our beds.

Mornings at the Resort

We woke up early for breakfast to fuel up our bodies with enough energy needed for the activities for the remaining half day. We changed to swim wear and dashed to the Hotel Pool for a refreshing swim. Again, we headed to the 11 pocket pools and swim! Next, we went to the maze and played like little kids. We are about to try the zip line but since we are dripping wet we are not allowed to do the activity.

We continued walking around until we passed in the hanging bridge. Then everyone went to their chosen pool to while away time. Mine and An were in Infinity Pool. We enjoyed the rest of the remaining hours basking on sunshine.

We ended the day by taking a scrumptious lunch. Everyone had a great time. I enjoyed the indulgence of spending more time in activities than in bed as it took me away from pressure and everyday routine. This is such a good breather as I had again a close encounter with nature. For me, it is really recommended for every working people to have a definite break from workload at least once a year to be rejuvenated and refreshed.

We took a package tour, which includes room accommodation, entrance fee and customized three sets of meal.
