Team Out of Town
How nice would it be to leave the busy roads of Metro Manila behind and step into a beautiful world of color, with a kaleidoscope of pools, fun inflatables, and endless entertainment—all just a short distance away? Rayloong Resort Waterfun Park might just be the colorful escape you’ve been looking for!
Rayloong Resort Waterfun Park’s colorful entrance welcomes visitors with its playful windmill-inspired design and vibrant cartoon murals.
Nestled in Phase 4B, Brgy. Camalig, Meycauayan, Bulacan, Rayloong Resort Waterfun Park is around 1 to 2 hour drive from Manila, making it a convenient escape from the fast-paced rhythm of the city. The resort unfolds into a colorful world of water, adventure, and entertainment, where nine (9) inflatable pools transform the water into a giant playground. Three (3) pools are about 4FT deep, while the others are shallower for young visitors.
Bright inflatable structures float in the light blue water like huge puzzle pieces from a child’s game, creating a festival of floating challenges to overcome in the water. The swimming area shines under the hot sunlight, while the inflatable spots look like colorful figures in a painting. Key attractions include the Big Slide and Rainbow Slide, which add thrill and joy to the resort’s atmosphere.
The Giant Slide gave us a much more thrilling experience because it was so steep that you had to hurry down from the top to the pool. As we climbed the stairs, we worried about how high we were going. Clutching the handrails on the stairs, we took each step higher, and our hearts pumped a little harder. As we slid down, we heard the splash of cold water rushing down the steep slope. It doesn’t take much for the heart to start racing when you are high up, yet now it is much harder to calm it down.
Nearby, we could find the Rainbow Slide, which was more colorful. The slide had wide lanes painted in many colors, creating a rainbow road. We could go down the slide in different ways, including on a tube. On the Rainbow Slide, we raced through the colorful lanes, feeling like we were slipping down the rainbow and landing at the bottom.
What impressed us most about these rides was that we could ride them over and over again. We could climb to the top, relax, and ride again. With every slide, we had fun, enjoyed ourselves, and kept up friendly competition throughout the experience. Whether racing each other or just having fun, the slides were a highlight.
After exploring the resort, we finally reached our pool, where the cool water felt like it washed away the afternoon heat and urged us to jump right in. The moment we waded into it, the heat from the day disappeared as if the water was taking it away from our bodies.
After an hour of swimming, playing in the inflatable structures, and enjoying the water, we forgot every bit of tiredness we felt that day. With every splash, we heard laughter floating above the water as we climbed, raced, and fell.
We also used the inflatable house slide and played with the big floats, creating our own little poolside amusement park. The water teased us with every splash as we stumbled around, spun into dizziness, and got the water up our noses. Instead of letting these small accidents spoil the fun, we laughed it off and dove back in.
With colorful inflatables floating above the sparkling water on a sunny afternoon, the pool became more than just a swimming pool. It became a small oasis where we gradually forgot about our fatigue and laughed instead, while every drop of water seemed to catch the splashes and fun. When we left the pool, we were tired, but our smiles said it all.
Beyond its pools, Rayloong has activity and play areas, including leisure elements like seesaws, a trampoline, obstacle bridges, a DIY roller coaster, a mini Viking ride, and a hamster wheel, that add a touch of playfulness to the resort. The resort seems like play brought to life. Rayloong is more than just a swimming area since it offers pools with floating obstacles, waterslides, and many other attractions. It creates a miniature world of adventure and water.
Visitors enjoy the recreational area, playing and spending time together as the sun sets.
After hours of playing and taking part in various activities, we realized that resting in a comfortable place is just as important as the fun you get at a resort. Rayloong Resort offers a wonderful variety of cottages and tents, ensuring visitors can choose accommodations based on group size and budget.
These accommodations are situated in different areas of the resort, so they feel like separate islands where guests can relax, eat, store their luggage, and recuperate before returning to the fun. For small groups, the Rainbow Slide Table costs PHP 300 and can accommodate up to six people.
The Kubo Cottage and White Tent can be booked for PHP 1,200 per day or night, or PHP 1,600 for the entire day, with a maximum of 12 people. The Kubo Cottage was designed to reflect a traditional look and a cozy atmosphere, while the White Tent offered a simple, spacious feel for gatherings.
For larger groups, the Pyramid Tent accommodates about 16 people, and the Whole TV Tent can accommodate about 30-36 people, making it a suitable option for larger families or groups of friends.
Those who want to escape the summer heat can also book VIP cottages with air conditioning and a KTV system. The maximum capacity is 10 for the VIP Regular and 18 for the VIP Big. After spending so much time under the hot summer sun, nothing is more pleasant than stepping into a cool, air-conditioned cottage and relaxing there. Another fun activity is singing at KTV after visiting the swimming pools.
Being equipped with different sizes, features, and prices, we admired the way in which the resort allows all guests to have their own experience. Whether we wanted simple shade or a more spacious place for everyone to gather, we always found an appropriate cottage or tent. After all the splashing, wetness, laughter, and sunlight, having a little corner of our own made it feel like a complete trip. At Rayloong, we enjoyed the water, but our greatest moments were when we sat together and laughed.
Before you enjoy a wonderful time, it’s wise to learn a few small tips that can add comfort and bliss to your experience. From the reception line to affordable entrance fees, available facilities, and a few things to keep in mind, here is what travelers should know before visiting Rayloong Waterfun Park Resort.
For budget-conscious travelers, the entrance fees are another attraction. The Day Tour (10:30am-5:30pm) and Night Swimming (6:00pm-1:30am) cost PHP199, while Overnight Swimming costs PHP159 (12:00mn-8:30am) and the All-Day Tour costs PHP299 (10:30am-1:30am). These rates already include access to the inflatable pools, playgrounds, and attractions. (Note that entrance and cottage rates may change, especially during summer and the holiday season.)
Getting to the resort is fairly convenient, especially for those traveling from Metro Manila by private vehicle. The large parking area adds convenience, with the parking fee already included in the payment at reception. However, guests should expect long lines on busy days. As soon as we arrived, there was already a long line at reception. So, if you’re planning to visit, we recommend bringing your own water, umbrella, and mini fan, especially if you’re going during the daytime. The reception area doesn’t have enough shade for everyone, so you can definitely feel the heat while waiting in line.
Although we had a fun-filled experience, there are still a few areas that could use attention. The restrooms, though, could still use some improvement. The restrooms aren’t very spacious, and we noticed some doors were already damaged. Some shower doors were also broken, and a few shower areas tend to get flooded. Hopefully, these issues can be fixed and improved in the future for a more comfortable guest experience.
If you need food, there are plenty of food stalls, as well as places to buy beverages and other items in the resort. A word of advice: You cannot carry alcoholic beverages inside the resort, although you can purchase them on the premises. You may use previously cooked food, but under no circumstances can you use the resort’s kitchen. And don’t think about taking a pet along or wearing denim.
Sometimes, it is not the distance but the chance to unwind and relax with your loved ones that matters. After an all-day visit filled with entertainment, laughter, and fun, our trip to Rayloong Resort Waterfun Park turned out to be much more than just a swim. From its thrilling slides and pools to its multiple cabin types, Rayloong Resort gave us plenty of opportunities for fun and great memories.
Whether you’re speeding down the water slide, plunging into the refreshing water, or sunbathing, it feels like time stops so you can enjoy the moment. Although some facilities still need improvement, their shortcomings don’t take away from the trip’s overall excitement and spirit.
If you have been looking for a reason to change your routine, maybe now is the time to start planning your trip to Rayloong. Rayloong is a great place for families and friends to come together, forget about their problems, and have a great time.
So why not get your favorite company, pack your swimsuits, and get ready for fun filled with laughter and excitement? If the fuss of the city gets tiring, listen to the water speak about something brighter and more exciting than your daily worries—the next fun awaits you at Rayloong Resort Waterfun Park!
