FAMILY BONDING AT BAYER'S CAFE

Located in Barangay Taptap Cebu City along Transcentral Highway which is an hour drive from Jy Square Lahug, Bayer’s Café is a mountain resort, cafe, and camping spot with a beautiful view of the mountains and gardens. ##### ENTRANCE FEE The entrance fee is PHP 50.00 and it's consumable. They have a separate payment for the swimming pool which is 125 pesos. The café serves affordable all-day breakfast, snacks, and drinks with views of the mountains.  It was a very cold Sunday morning when we arrived at Bayer's Cafe. I personally love the feeling of being surrounded by fog. Sunday is always a family day for us so we decided to bring our family here. It took us 10 minutes by scooter to be here since we are living a bit closer to this place. ##### Let's go and take a nature tour! Beautiful flowering and non-flowering plants can be seen all around the place. We saw some mayana varieties, spider flowers, sunflowers, lilies, and more. It looks more amazing because of the pine trees scattered around the pool and garden area.             After our tour with nature, we went for a cool dip in their swimming pool. Their pool is located right beside their cafeteria and is situated in the middle of towering trees and many other plant life.   The sun was not showing up. However, the kids were really enjoying it even though it was extremely cold. We played water games and taught the kids how to swim. By the way, the pool is less than 4 feet deep.      ----- After spending some time in the pool, we went to the newly opened cabin area. It was so nice and peaceful. The fog cleared away at that moment so we could see the view of the rolling hills in front of the fire place.   If you’d like to spend more time in this calm place, you can book an overnight stay at their Native Tipi. They have bonfire area overlooking the rolling mountains of Cebu. You can also book all the rooms for 4,500 pesos only and usage of the pool, entrance and garden are already included.  ##### BAYER'S CAFE AMENITIES All Day Breakfast Swimming Pool Viewing Deck Flower Garden Campsite and Rooms for rent Spacious Parking Area #### FOOD CHOICES  *Photo was taken from Bayer's cafe FB page*  *Photo was taken from Bayer's cafe FB page* ##### RATES & OTHER INFORMATION DAY USE: Open hours: 7 AM to 8 PM Entrance fee: ₱50 per person (consumable) Swimming fee: ₱125 per person ##### ROOMS: **Native Tipi/ A-frame rooms:** ₱900 per cabin (good for 2) **Bamboo Room:** ₱1300 per night, good for 2 to 4 persons *Check-in at 2 PM, check-out at 12 PM* #### EXCLUSIVE POOL AND CAFE PACKAGE PHP 6000 (30 pax) Extra person: PHP 100 Free swimming and use of cafe (weekdays and non-holidays only) #### EXCLUSIVE CAMPING PACKAGE PHP 4500 (Good for 9 adults and 3 children) Exclusive use of 3 native tipis, a tent and campsite Overnight stay (2pm-12 noon) ##### OTHER INFORMATION Walk-ins are allowed.
