I tried out another hot spring. I googled “onsen” and found this. Makiling Onsen Hotel @makilingonsenhotel also in pansol. It’s a few meters further down/ away from 88 Hotspring resort. I find it to be a rare offering and the most sanitary because you have your own private onsen and the natural spring water is filled up only if you will book the room ( advanced notice of 30 mins -an hour.) It’s P 300.00 per person ( for 3 hours use) and since i was only 1 i had it all to myself. The water just flows and it drains so it is always new water flowing. It’s continuous for 3 hours. They said the water doesn’t go to waste because they use it for plants etc. I also like them because they are conscious about onsen etiquette especially about taking a bath before going in. This was my schedule. It’s best to make the most and try to dip in the onsen as many times as you can

Look for Kath and/or Candy. Before coming I was communicating with Kath via Facebook messenger. I had warned her that I was coming the day before The first thing you see on the left is the swimming pool 🙂 Then you can pass this way to go to the onsenOnsen rooms
This was where they assigned me There is a small air-conditioned room. I brought my yaya with me to accompany me and make sure she is there in case i faint haha!! It’s just always good to have a companion when doing the onsen or hot bath. Then a Japanese curtain to enter the onsen They give you a plastic container with 2 towels. I also brought my own towels. They provide toiletries for taking a bath, but again I brought my own It took around 20-30 minutes to fill the onsen. You can call in advance to prepare and open the aircon etc. Other onsen rooms. I took a tour while waiting for the onsen to be filled There is a painting of Mt. Fuji in all the onsens 🙂 Another onsen which is bigger is by the garage Then there is another onsen with a bedroom. You can opt to get this if you want to lie down or just have your own private room
Then at the back there are 3 more rooms which have onsens inside
They told me the last room is the most popular because it has the strongest aircon 🙂 You can watch TV 🙂
Have tea Japanese style 🙂 There is another swimming pool at the back Then they toured me around the rooms. The owner is Filipina but just loves Japanese anything and i noticed she likes putting signs and quotes around the place 🙂 I forgot what room this is but each room has a tatami dining table 🙂
Leads to the balcony Another room with a heart pillow 🙂 More rooms I only saw one since the others were occupied. This was not used because the bed was used in another room
She took me to the spa Another room across the spa
