Swimming Pool Area at Leyte Park Resort

The pool area was so relaxing. We paid about 120 pesos per head for the pool entrance and 70 pesos (chicken inasal with rice).It was rounded and at the very center was the deepest point, let’s say around 7 feet. I took the plunge and the coolness of the water reminded me of how I actually made the right decision. As I was on one edge of the pool I could not miss how beautiful this part of the world is. Cottages and Suites on one side of the resort, and the sea just in-front of the pool. Yehey ! A perfect place for a vacation!
