NEPTUNE PITTMAN'S Garden Resort, Guimaras

Hidden is the town of Buenavista, Guimaras is Neptune Pittman's Garden haven.  Hubby and I were indeed delighted to see the resort's sprawling garden.

Each nook of the resort just screams "photo ops".

The resort's main attraction is it's botanical garden that showcases florae from around the globe.   True to Neptune Pittman's claim it is indeed a botanist paradise.


 
 
 
 
 
The resort has a restaurant bar, fish ponds, herbarium (homegrown herbs), basketball court, swimming pool and a massage/spa parlor (by appointment only).

 
 
They have air-conditioned rooms, that the care taker Kuya Wilfredo, graciously showed us. 
 
 
The Isabella Cottage (located about 500 meters away from the main house).
 
 
The Leo's Woodhauz, a wood house, located a top the Pittman's bar. Leo's Woodhauz is wonderful adorned with nicely crafted and detailed furniture pieces.
 
 
 
And Mag's Cottage, which is my favorite since it is closest to the resort's pool.

 
 
TIP:
The resort allows walk-in visitors' private tours to their garden.  If your are in Guimaras, planning a land tour, I suggest you include this beautiful garden resort into your itinerary.

Warm Welcome to Jannah Glycel Beach Resorts


Jannah Glycel is more than just a beach house, it was our Guimaras' home for 3D/2N. 


Jannah Glycel Beach Resort is an affordable comfort in the heart of rustic Guimaras.  

  • Rooms are adequate and clean.  Beds comfortable.  
    Air-conditioning was perfect.  

  • Television signal good and channel options varied. 

  • Staff were awesome. Anna especially tries hard to satisfy all our request.



  • However, only towel (clean and soft though) and soap were offered. No shampoo, lotion, so don't forget to bring yours.

  • There is also no refrigerator inside the room, but the resort has a water dispenser at the dining hall. 

  • There are also slight problems with the water fixtures, poor water pressure through the sink faucet and toilet flush, hot and cold water was a bit difficult to mix.  

  • Poor cellphone signal (We have Sun, Smart and Globe, Globe was the only one working), but this was expected as we are in the middle of an island.  
  
  • Food does not come with our room package.  Average meal price is at P150, with the Chef's Recommendation at P250 (The Chef's Recommendation comes with soup, softdrinks and dessert). 


These were, however,  no big deal for us and we still managed to enjoy our stay.



View of the beach!



Jannah Glycel's beautiful garden!


VERDICT: We had a lovely stay at Jannah Glycel.  The sound of the waves is truly relaxing.  It was quite a distance away (about 33km) from Jordan Wharf. But the view makes up of the long travel. 

The resort is serene and peaceful, with a breath taking beach as our backdrop and the sound of the waves as our background music~ breath taking.
