It's summer once again!

In the west coast of Cebu lies the industrial city of Toledo. Toledo, once known to be a copper mining capital in Asia, has developed its industrial zone along its neighboring municipalities. In the midst of continued industrial growth, there are still parts of the city where a relaxing vibe is a "go-to". One of which is The Ranch Resort. Owned and operated by the Gaite Family, the resort started welcoming guests a few years ago.

Summer will never be complete without a cool refreshing dip. In The Ranch, 5 different pools will cater to those needs. The pools are not more than 5 feet deep, suitable for non-swimmers (but boring to most pool lovers). Like most resorts, swimming attires are strictly implemented. Bringing of food from outside is not allowed since they have their own restaurant. Food prices range from 100.00 and up.

Inside the vicinity, various activities are offered. They have the farm tour (which includes the visit to the aviary, bee farm and the whole ranch), horseback riding, a zip line, trampolines, and biking. The Ranch is suitable for team-building activities.

Cousins from Catmon came to visit last April 09, 2015. The Ranch Resort was what they had in mind for their summer get-away. The whole day was hot - seriously, it was very hot! The heat of the sun was a pain on the skin. The air was humid. I advise you to bring your sunscreen lotions, face towels, and extra shirts. Drink plenty of water to avoid heat stroke. Most of them took a swim while the others kept under the shade. At 4 o 'clock in the afternoon, the sun's rays aren't as painful anymore.

We enjoyed our day at the Ranch except for the hot weather. It was a okay and we had a good bonding experience. It was a day worth spending with them. But since it was Kuya Keith's treat, the monetary spending was under his care. Haha.
