The Commute
From Makati, we took a taxi to Baclaran and disembarked right under the Overpass where buses are temporarily waiting for passengers. Take the bus going to Cavite City or Noveleta. The fare is only 26 pesos for adults.The bus took the Cavitex route from Baclaran. It was fast until we reached Bacoor, where traffic is quite congested. Travel time is about 1 hour.
We saw the Aguinaldo Shrine before we finally reached Panamitan in Kawit where Watercamp is located. Don't forget to tell the conductor that you are going to Watercamp Josephine Resort. It is well known so there's no difficulty in explaining where you are going.
From the highway, walk approximately 300 meters going to the resort which is situated in a big subdivision. There are motorized tricycles outside the subdivision that will bring you to Watercamp for a fee. But if you want to save a little and exercise a little, just walk.
Checking the Place
Watercamp Resort is appealing to safety-conscious parents. The guard at the gate checks every bag that is brought inside the resort, confiscating alcoholic drinks and breakable glasses and bottles. Since we went there on a Saturday, the entrance fee is quite pricey at 220.00 pesos for adults and 200.00 for children 4 feet and below. We learned that it's only 150.00 from Monday to Friday.Every pool has an assigned lifeguard whose eyes are always on the swimmers with his whistle fixed on his lips ready to blow in case someone does the forbidden.
There are different kinds of pool that can be enjoyed. It was my first time to be in a lazy river, and boy, I don't want the day to end. It was fun!
All in all, there are six swimming pools: The Mini Wave Pool, Kidney-shaped Pool with slides, the 160-meter Lazy River, Children's Interactive Pool, Dunk Pool for two level slides, and an adult pool with water falls.
