Welcome to Shercon Resort and Ecology Park |
What's great about this resort is its affordability. Its P250 entrance fee for adults and P150 for kids 4-7 years old combined with the scenic beauty of the place gives other resorts in Batangas a run for their money. One can also rent cottages ranging from P800 - P2000. You can check these out in the RATES section of this article.

It's not only the view and affordability that makes Shercon Resort and Ecology Park great, the resort's fame actually came from its pools- the 11 Pocket Pools to be exact. Combined with the amphitheater, the 11 Pocket Pools create a beautiful landscape photograph.

Zipline yeah! |
Shercon Ecology Resort and Ecology Park are not only for relaxation. It is also a perfect place for team buildings and barkada bondings. There is a zipline, hanging bridge, and maze to keep each of you occupied and challenged.
If you're planning to visit here are some tips that you might want to consider:
- Book in advance. The resort is usually fully booked during the weekends and sometimes even the weekdays.
- Bring your own food. You can cook in the resort, so bring your rice cooker and portable electric cookers.
- You may choose to buy fresh ingredients in the market of the town of Balete or Mataas na Kahoy before heading to the resort.

I got to visit Shercon Resort and Ecology Park when my wife and I decided to celebrate my daughter's 4th birthday there. It was only a less than 2-hour drive from our house in Cavite. Overall, it was an enjoyable trip for us. My daughter surely enjoyed the day-long swim in its numerous pools. Sadly, we only had a day tour. If I was given a chance I'd try the overnight package to maximize my stay there.

Things to consider:
- If you're staying in the Kubo and Japanese Kubo, the toilet rooms are quite far from you.
- If you're not a fan of walking then this place is not for you.
- The pocket pools are Instagram worthy but the crowd there would give you a hard time taking that Instagram-worthy shot.
- Children should be supervised at all times even at Sophia's Duck as the pool and its surrounding vicinity are most likely slippery.
- Reserve first before heading to the resort. It will save you time and effort.
Why stay at Shercon Resort and Ecology Park?
Shercon Resort and Ecology Park are probably one of the most famous resorts in Mataas na Kahoy. What's great about the resort is despite its fame, it remains to be quite affordable. There are also plenty of things to do in the resort aside from swimming in its pools so it's also a perfect place to conduct team-building activities.
Getting to Shercon Resort and Ecology Park:
If you're commuting:

From the bus terminal near Buendia-LRT Station, ride a DLTB or Jam Liner going to Lipa City, Batangas. Travel time is about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. Fare is about 125 -140 pesos.
Tell the conductor to drop you off at Lipa town proper. From there ride a jeepney going to Mataas na Kahoy. Fare is P13-20. Tell the driver to drop you off at 711. From there ride a tricycle to the resort.

ReplyDeleteGood day! You are allowed access to all pools. However, just a heads up the pools are quite far from each other hence you should book a room near the pool of your preference.
