A quick 20-minute drive from SM Mall of Asia,  Island Cove Resort and Leisure Park in Cavite is the perfect destination for a quick day tour or weekend bonding with family and friends.Â
For those who prefer indoor entertainment, there’s billiards and table tennis tables and Game Room (complete with Wii, Playstation and Xbox consoles). There’s also a Bayside KTV equipped with Chinese, Koreak, English, Japanese and Filipino songs.
Doing the YOLO thing. I am actually afraid of animals. I know they won’t attack unless provoked, but we wouldn’t know what’s in their mind, right?
I had a pic with the python. He came too close to my face. I could only touch the crocodile. That one is wild. But I tried to feed the lion and pride of ostriches. Fun!!!
If you are looking for a place to hold your event, party wedding and concert, Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park has function halls and concert grounds to accommodate special events. There are indoor (with air conditioning) and outdoor spaces for rent.
Food Outlets – Sangley Point, iCafe and The Fishing Village
Feeling hungry? Not to worry. The Island Cove has food and beverage outlets headed by Executive Chef Vill Purificacion. He’s a well-traveled man who worked in several luxurious hotels and grand cruises. We got to taste his interesting creations inspired from flavors all over the world.
I only go gaga over lechon skin!
During our trip, we also got to try the Binalot Offerings. They are mostly composed of Filipino dishes! I love the inclusion of salted eggs and tomatoes!

Our day tour ended with a relaxing massage (for others) and a scrub and milk bath (for me and Karen!). I heard that JR and Rodel tried this relaxing bath and I was ready to go bold for it! Haha.
If you want to keep fit during the staycation, there’s gym facilities in the resort too.
The Island Spa has interesting Mediterranean ambiance that is warm complete with relaxing scent of massage oil. It is not intoxicating unlike most of the spas and massage parlors that I have visited. They say that the massage oil is not even greasy.
My Island Spa milk bath experience started with (err… photos!). I seriously wanted a bath tub in my room (not in my bathroom!).
We started with a full-body scrub. It is a perfect way to destress after my #RuthGoestoBarcelona adventure. After the scrub, we immediately soak in the warm bath. They pour in goat’s milk in our body – they even said we can wash our face with it – and I did (just like how I do with Avene’s Milk Cleanser). It smells so good!
We stayed there for a couple of minutes. We didn’t want to leave.
I took a warm shower after and I feel my skin felt so soft and smooth. And I smelled like a baby! Haha
Karen said my skin was glowing after. 🙂
A must-try when in Island Cove. #RuthApproved.
It is just near Manila. 20-minute ride from SM Mall of Asia.
There’s wifi connection in every facility and room.
There are alot of things to do inside the resort.

I love the milk bath experience which is super affordable at Php 1,200!
The staff is friendly and fun! Kuya zookeeper wants to make sure you have nice photo with his pets. Haha But he makes sure that safety is the priority.
