- JÉz QuiritNovember 17, 2016I have been to this place 3x and I can say that it's highly commercialized now more than ever. On the plus side, it made the area well maintained and it's a happy place now. Good music, delish food.
- Trish PNovember 2, 2014The #1 attraction in Bacolod, although certainly does not come close to the Taj Mahal as advertised, it's a beautiful spot during sunset and a nice place to relax with a book on the lawn.Upvoted Mar 22
- Gee PeridaMarch 31, 2013Afternoon turning dusk-that is the best time to visit this place. Not only will it save you from the sun's heat but also you'll get to see the lights that showcase the beauty of this place at night.

- Yv BrNovember 26, 2016Very organized esp in queuing for the toilet use and in paying for tickets. Very commercialized (they never had tickets before), but it's a beautiful place and it's worth the entrance fee.

- Miguel LimonMarch 3, 2012There's a cafe in the back with aircon :) and really good pizza, try the Mirene ( anchovy pesto) and the Marilori (chorizo) PHP 90-240. And sangria. Great for the sunset :)
