| Fontana Leisure Parks And Casino |
Fontana Leisure Park located at Clark Pampanga and is one of the largest recreational resorts in the area with a 300 property hectare. It has a theme waterpark, resort and casino which is a perfect place to spend a weekend staycation at and besides it's just a 3 hr drive from Manila.
It used to be open to the public before with corresponding entrance fees but recently staying here requires membership already. Being a member has its perks including an annual week's stay in their villas. Fortunately I know a friend who has been a member for a long time so my friends and I were able to rent one Villa. Members are the only ones allowed to register in the reception prior to checking-in so good thing our friend lives in Pampanga and was kind enough to assist us.
We stayed in a standard 3 Bedroom Villa.
- Amenities:
Complete mini-bar
Hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers
Centralized Air Conditioning
LCD Television (International & Local TV Channels)
Electronic Safety Deposit Box
2/3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, a Living Area, Dining & Kitchen
WIFI Access
Fontana is not strict with head counts so you can bring as much people as you want. We were around 10 that time. The villa had 2 to 3 Parking Space. There are three bedrooms in our villa. All of them have two single beds, some have queen sized beds. The beds were comfy and the sheets were very clean. The whole place is actually air-conditioned and neat, feels like we're staying in a hotel. The rooms were so big, you can even bring more people and just ask for extra mattress. It's so spacious!
Check-in time is at 2pm and check out time is at 12 noon.

We cooked our own meals from breakfast to dinner. We really enjoyed it even if it was a little tiring but thanks to our friend Chef Jose everything went smoothly and we were still able to eat delicious food. We helped each other in cooking and washing the dishes.
During the afternoon my friends and I went to the Water Theme Park. Masyado siyang pambata for me actually except for the giant slide. The water is freezing cold so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the moment, it also rained so I wasn't able to enjoy swimming in the pool area. However, since I was with my friends I still had a great time! There were few food stalls inside but there were no available chairs and tables so you won't be able to leave your things properly. We only brought towels and phones with waterproof case.
There were some rides which looked vey unsafe. I've also heard that a lot of people have experienced minor and major accidents in Fontana that's why we were very cautious when we were in the resort. We still had fun though cause all of us are child at heart. :)

Cooking our own food was a nice experience and having the room all to ourselves, drinking and playing was such a relaxing experience. We are all grown ups now so once in a while moments like this makes us forget all the worries and the reality we have to face in life. A moment i'll never forget.
