Ruvi Cave Resort : A Cave With A Pool

ruvi cave resort minglanilla cebu


One of the reasons why it's good to go out and spend your weekends at the beach or the pool is because of the heat brought by summer, this season is not about staying at home.. For most Filipinos, summer is never complete without going to one of the thousand resorts in the country and getting our skin tanned or worse sun burned. I had my first get away for this year's summer in Bantayan Island. And the second was just last weekend at Ruvi Cave Resort. Of course, the team was also present! My colleagues and friends went there too!

Ruvi Cave Resort is a 15-20 minute drive from Cebu City located in Tungkop, Minglanilla.

Here's how to get there...

From Cebu City you can get to Minglanilla proper with any of the following:

  • KMK bus for Php 25
  • Jeepney route code 10H or 10F going to Pardo then from Pardo to Minglanilla with route code 43. You can easily find the route codes on the front, generally on the roof side and behind part of the vehicle. Current minimum jeepney fare is Php 8.
  • Mini bus from South Bus Terminal for Php 11-15.

Oslob's Cuartel


I got the chance to get back to Oslob last Wednesday because we were invited to Charlene's graduation day, she is James' younger sister. The graduation was held at the covered court near the Catholic Church and the Cuartel so I grabbed the opportunity to get some photos of their Cuartel Area. It's a building made thousand of years ago during the Spaniards era for the guardia civil or the soldiers. It was not finished though since we were already freed by their colonization. It reconstructed and developed to become their town's tourist spot. 

When I first went to Oslob about almost three years ago, the place was not really good. A great difference can be observed if you got to visit the Cuartel. Here are some of the photos we have taken:

Open Summer at Camotes Island


My summer for this year 2011 had just begun and Camotes Island opened it for me and my colleagues.

Nothing can beat the beach when we talk about summer. Who would like to spend the heat and the sweat inside his four cornered room? Nah! Those are for the weak-bonned. So as I told you already in my last post, we were spending our team building budget for Camotes Island. It's quite perfect for the whole budget plus there were team members who decided to not come so our friends went instead.

We headed to North Terminal at 4:30am. Rode a multicab to Danao, we were supposed to ride the first trip at Quano Wharf but since they cancelled it, we went to Danao. We reached Danao at 5:30, we didn't expect that the port was filled with heads already. We were blessed to secure the last 15 tickets for 8:30 trip.

For some unknown reasons, the Mika-Mari ship departed the port at almost 9:30 already, thanks to the movies at the air-conditioned room, we didn't feel bored waiting. At 12:15, we finally reached Consuelo port, a van from My Little Island Hotel was patiently waiting for us there.

Team Building Day 2

As promised, I will be updating you with the things that we have done during the second day of our team building at El Paradiso Resort Alcoy, Cebu. 


As for the second day, we started it with a good breakfast and we had fun with our games. We played "Pinoy Henyo" which was taken from the noontime show of GMA 7, Eat Bulaga. It was a funny game actually and we also played Charades which is really common to outings like this. Team Michelle won the two games, supposedly, there were prizes given but we already ate them before arriving at the resort, so we ended up swimming though. The sea was alluring but the itchy thing is still there. We went to a deeper part where the ramp was located, the boys had fun jumping over and diving to the sea. I was able to get there by swimming but most of the girls were not, as a solution, they rented the paddle boat which cost them Php 100 an hour. They were able to reached the ramp part but they did not get out of the paddle boat, instead they returned to the shallow portion. I also rode on the boat, in fact, we tried going to the much deeper part but the boat was so slow that in which I had thought it was better to swim by yourself, haha. 


After the sea adventure, we also went to the pool, this time, we opted to just stay in the kiddie pool since the bigger one was like sort of dirty. Good thing though was the gentleman who maintains the pool cleaned it and also increased the water in the kiddie pool, it was like jacuzzi that time. Daryl also massaged some of us, he was good with that actually, we also exchanged conversations until it reached the topic of "waxing the private parts." Funny it seems but there are really people out there who do that. Well, going back we got out of the pool when the time was already one in the afternoon and we need to eat our lunch. As usual, our food was really good. There were fried fish, grilled beef and fish, there was calamaris, my all time favorite and also chicken curie. 


Unfortunately, we were only allowed to stay up to 2:00 in the afternoon. So after lunch, we packed our things and bid goodbye. We had picture taking of course before we left. There was a funny stuff when we went out, there was a lettering at the wall of the resort, here it is:

Team Building location changed: Alcoy Everyone?



Three days before the team building, the location was changed due to some safety problems. Instead of spending it in Bantayan Island, ( :'-( huhu Bantayan ohh bantayan!) we decided to spend it in Alcoy, Cebu. The problem with Bantayan is there are rumors that the place is not safe since election is coming up and the NPAs are active right now, they said the place has been listed as a danger zone in times of election. Well, we will not be risking ourselves of course just because the place is nice.


Anyways, moving forward, we still don't know the final resort where we will be spending the two days and one night event. We were thinking in Bodos Bamboo Bar, where there are pools also aside from the beach. Here are pictures of the place:



Here are there rooms: 

  

I heard the room rates were low, that's quite nice. And before I forget, the place is a wifi hotspot! I will be bringing with me my laptop so I can update you guys!
