New Era University-HS batch of 1993 April 30,2011: It's my 2nd visit to Club Manila East, Taytay Rizal. First time with my family just early this year, this time with my kids and my High School Friends and their loved ones. Entrance fee is 350php, for adult and kids more than 3ft. Cabana rate is 1,500php with 300 key deposit. March-May are the busiest month because it's the summer season so i suggest to make a booking before your visit to have a hassle free day. Or go as early as 7am, to skip the long lines and crowded reception area. Zipline is also available for 150php. Foods and drinks are not allowed, they have many stalls inside and an airconditioned restaurant which offers affordable menu.The waves are fantastic, your kids will definitely enjoy it. visit their link for more info : http://www.clubmanilaeast.com/ Cabana where we stayed My 3yo little boy my 2yo princess                 ...
