Pansol: Angel Springs Resort

Our company had a mini outing at Pansol in Calamba, Laguna this weekend. Man, was the traffic ever so bad going there. In any case, after leaving Manila at 7am, we finally arrive at our destination after 2 hours at Angel Springs Resort.

It's a private pool/resort just some walking distance from the main road.


There are 4 bedrooms upstairs; 2 rooms that had 2 double bed and the other 2 had 1 double bed each. All with air con, fairly thick mattress, very clean. Upstairs there are 2 bathrooms. The aircon was not that strong but if you'd like, you can just open the door to the veranda and you'll get a fairly good breeze. Sorry I forgot to take pics of the rooms ...

dining room, small kitchen, ref 
The dining room/kitchen and sala opens up to the lanai overlooking the pools. Karaoke use for the entire day is included in the fee. Beside the dining room/kitchen is a small structure that has 4 shower stalls and 2 bathrooms divided between men and women. 

Big table that can accommodate 15-20 people
There are two pools - one for adult and the other for kiddies. The big pool is about 5 ft deep while the small pool is about 2ft deep. The water looks very clean, not too hot (warm spring instead of hot springs :D) and they put in a small shade on top of the big pool. Wish they could have put in a bigger shade since all throughout the day, only a part of the big pool is shaded. No problem with the kiddie pool. 


pool shade at 9am
I like the fact that they build up the fence high enough so the neighbors can't see into the pool. 

kiddie pool


Just beside the kiddie pool is the "wet kitchen". This is where you can grill or cook some food for a fee (P200 for the use).

There is a caretaker (Sonny) who lives on the property and you can ask him to do all sort of errands for you. 

Pros

The place is very very clean and well cared for, plenty of bathrooms/shower stalls, spacious and airy. Enough space for parking. The place can accommodate about 30 people. You can park about 6-7 cars inside. The caretaker is very accommodating and even offered us to pick some mangoes from the tree inside the property for free. He was also kind enough to put 2 standing fans at the lanai. 

Cons

The shade on the pool is too small. So in the morning, it is too hot to use the entire pool. The best time to use the pool is about 4pm because by then, the sun is setting behind some hills and the entire pool is already shaded. Rough short road going into the resort from the main road (it was only a block away). 

Fee

For weekends, it's P10,000 from 8am to 5pm. For weekdays, its P7000 for the same time. If you decide to do an overnight stay from 8am-7am, it's P17,000 for the weekend. 

Verdict:

Very nice place to have a relaxing day. The place is very decent and clean which was a big plus.Highly recommend it for private gatherings. Good directions can be found in their website here. Ask for the Resort II since this was the newer place. They have not updated their website for a while so some of the facilities indicated were not applicable - we were expecting 1 bedroom but were pleasantly surprised to find 4. Bring additional plastic (for the garbage), dish-washing soap/scrub, tissue (for the bathroom) ice and beer.

Have a nice summer, guys!
