TRENDS YOU NEED TO KNOW ✔: Spring Time: Mt. Uragay

Feeling hot this weekend?

There is no place better to hang out with family and friends to unwind than a spring resort! Mt. Uragay Spring, otherwise known as The Uruguay Spring Resort, an oasis located in the quiet and beautiful town of Carmen, Cebu is a perfect spot this weekend! Instead of going to the beach for the entire day where the sun's heat sting and burn, try the spring's fresh cold water for a change!

Mt. Uragay Mountain Spring Resort is located in Barangay Corte, Carmen, Cebu. 

Based on our research, the spring has been the source of the bottled water of nature's spring water, until the company acquired a new spring source of their own. This a private resort, has 2 pools, for kids and for adults. The pools are fed by a flowing water from a spring or "tubod" so obviously the water is expected to be intensely fresh and cold as well. There is no restaurant in the resort yet, but you can bring foods as many as you like! For there is no corkage fee! Isn't it great? Yes, it is and each cottage costs only for Php 300.00 and Php 50.00 for the entrance fee. If planning to stay over the night, their fee is Php 1,500.00 for 2 persons only.

Carmen is located in the northern part of Cebu and approximately 1.5 hours travel from Cebu City. If you have your own vehicle, you can travel by the main road from Cebu City passing by Mandaue City-Consolacion-Liloan-Compostela-Danao City and finally Carmen. Uragay is just few meters away from Carmen Public market. Just watch out for the sign beside the road, pointing the direction of Uragay. Reaching Uragay Mountain Spring Resort is easy and enjoyable. From the main road, you will have to travel for 10-15 minutes to reach the resort. On the way, you will pass by banana plantations, orchid garden of Mlhuiller, Mlhuiller farm, poultry farms and mountain views of Carmen. The roads are asphalted, but be careful in the curves and in going down especially id it's raining.
