And since it is way up top, you can achieve that peace and quiet that you actively seek.

Waking up have never been so scenic and green. You’ll find yourself so at peace with all the birds, the mountain breeze and the joy of being so far away from anything that’s fast-paced and too loud.

Pools and Entertainment

Plus, they also have pools and entertainment for a more enjoyable family stay or a fun-filled barkada vacay. Their pool has a new great addition too which is the colorful slide.

Where better way to do a pool slide than in the mountain top? I’m sure the kids, your friends and yourself will love this.

How to get there?

Exact location: Upper Mohon, Can-asujan, Carcar City, Cebu — Blueridges is a bit isolated. It is approx. 5 kilometers away from the main road.

The resort can arrange pickup services from the main road for P700, good for 10 pax. Otherwise, habal2x drivers (motorbikes) are happy to take you to the resort for only P50 each person.

If you are using a private/rented vehicle, READ THIS CAREFULLY. DO NOT follow Waze just yet. Instead, put the destination first to Sangat National High School (as shown on the image below). From the alley near Maiqui’s Bakeshop, that’s the time you change the destination to Blueridges Resort.

If you don’t follow this, and opt to use Waze directly, then you will be lead to the longer and uglier road, which will waste 30mins of your time.
