Purico’s Cabin Resort perfectly embodies the definition of a quaint and secluded weekend refuge. The clock seems to tick in slow motion, especially because of the quiet surroundings – free from the seemingly endless noise of the urban jungle. Just the same, Purico’s Cabin Resort is far from being bland and boring. It has all the amenities to ensure an enjoyable weekend, especially for a family like us with little children. Not only that, Purico’s Cabin Resort is undeniably Instagram-worthy, so you would have a lot of opportunities for pictorials with your loved ones while on a holiday.

If you are looking for a destination near Metro Manila where you can spend a peaceful weekend, then Purico’s Cabin Resort may be the ideal choice for you. 

We discovered it on social media and I would say it was indeed a good decision to spend the night in Purico’s during the weekend after my birthday. Purico’s Cabin Resort is surrounded by rice fields in a small community in Apalit, Pampanga, so you are assured of nothing but the sound of nature.

Here are some of the things that we liked in Purico’s Cabin Resort

The highlight of our stay at Purico’s is, of course, the cabins. These are beautifully made mini-houses complete with a living room, a dining area, a spacious loft bedroom with comfortable beds, a strong air conditioning system, and a jacuzzi.

Not only that but the whole resort is landscaped with lush bushes and flowering plants that are pleasant to the eyes.

There’s no question that children love being in the water. They can stay in the water for the entire day, even forgoing food if you don’t remind them to eat. 

That being said, Miguel and Rafa both enjoyed the kiddie swimming pool at Purico’s Cabin Resort. Adults, meanwhile, will definitely enjoy swimming in the deeper portion of the swimming pool (the deepest is five feet).

When in Purico’s Cabin Resort, you don’t have to worry about food (or getting hungry) because the resort has a café & restaurant called Istorya. Aside from coffee and pasta dishes, Istorya also offers rice meals and accommodates small events.

If you have pets, you can bring them to Purico’s Cabin Resort. We saw several guests who brought their dogs with them – now that’s the true definition of a family weekend adventure.

It’s easy to go to Purico’s Cabin Resort. If you are bringing your own car, you can pin it in your favorite navigation app and follow the directions. Take NLEX then make an exit to San Simon, Pampanga. Follow the directions going to San Simon town proper then proceed to drive to Apalit town. Just follow the directions until you reach Purico’s Cabin Resort.

To book a cabin, you may get in touch via Purico’s Facebook page. There are currently seven cabins for rent, as such, booking can be a challenge because they are almost always fully booked. With that, it’s important to book ahead of your intended stay.

When staying at Purico’s, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• You would have to pay a corkage fee if you would like to bring outside food. Small drinks are allowed though. Anyway, you may order food at Istorya Café & Restaurant since the prices are reasonable. If you have a child like Miguel with specific food preferences, you may want to discuss it with the staff at Istorya so that they can cook it for you.
• While toiletries are provided in the bathroom, be sure to bring your kit especially if you are bringing your children with you.
• You may use the pool at night but keep in mind that they close it before midnight.
• Bring swimwear and flip-flops for you and your kids. You may also bring floaters but there are also items for rent.
• Parking inside the resort is available.

All in all, we had a wonderful stay at Purico’s. The staff are very friendly and always eager to fulfill our requests. Evenings at Purico’s are serene so you are assured of a good night’s sleep.

Be sure to include Purico’s Cabin Resort in your family travel bucket list this year!
