An oasis to a countryside vibe of Nueva Ecija.
Armando's Garden Resort houses its in-house restaurant, "Lutong Armando's", public pools, and villa-type private resort.
Last September, me, my family and friends (Team Sang-ayon) had a relaxing weekday to refresh ourselves from our jobs. We had a 22-hour stay at Armando's Garden Resort and had to taste delectable food.

OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Parking area near accommodation |
We arrived at noon time on the first day of our stay at the resort. Jampacked on our travel, we had to fill our bellies to recharge for the other half of the day. So we had lunch at Armando's Restaurant - an in-house resto-bar in Armando's Garden Resort.
ARMANDO'S RESTAURANT
Armando's Restaurant |
We're happy to try their own version of Boodle Fight - a feast where food is usually served on banana leaves and eaten without utensils.
We had Boodle Set C which includes servings of tempura, Dinakdakan, mixed seafood, Kalderetang Kambing, Ginataang Sitaw at Kalabasa, Tinolang Manok, salted eggs, plain rice and bagoong rice. Plus buko pandan and a pitcher of red iced tea. SEE MENU
Armando's bar and restaurant mainly offers local artisan food and commercial beverages such as beers and alcoholic drinks.
After having a satisfying meal, we took our siesta in the afternoon. Of course, who will miss merienda? We also tried their special halo-halo and some of their brick oven pizza - the first in Nueva Ecija!
Their halo-halo was a cool treat to us - perfect snack in the balmy afternoon. While their pizzas woke us up with cheesy and meaty toppings. They also use natural and organic ingredients mainly from the province. SEE MENU
For dinner, we had 2 of their appetizers - Sizzling Pork Sisig and Sizzling Chicken Sisig. To top it off, we also savor with their very own Armando's Chicken and Special Bulalo. Both were so soft, almost fall-off-the-bones.
The chicken was so tasty, a perfect match with their warm rice. The bulalo on the other hand has a flavorful soup and tender beef plus the buttery (sinusutsot) "utak". SEE MENU
The following day, we had their classic "silog" meals for our breakfast, came with hot brewed coffee, a great way to start the day.
MERIENDA BUFFET
Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Armando's offers all-you-can-eat merienda.
EVENT'S PLACE
This spacious area located at the heart of the resort covers variety of events. The 350-sqm event area can hold more or less 300 guests - perfect for Christenings, birthdays, reunions, team buildings and weddings. The good food served by their in-house restaurant is a plus for any kinds of events. They also offer event styling and coordination.SWIMMING POOL AND COTTAGE
Their main pool, which is 300-sqm wide, ranges from 2 to 5.5 feet deep. While their kiddie pool has 2 feet deep. They also feature a 2 ft. deep jacuzzi at the same area. Both are located in their public pool area.
In our case, we stayed at 2 of their cabanas (see rates below). Both have king-sized beds, aircondition, TVs, restrooms, complimentary water, towels. The rooms are perfect for couples or a small family.

HOW TO GET TO ARMANDO'S GARDEN RESORT
Going to Armando's Garden Resort is never a hassle. However, it's advisable that you bring your own vehicle going to the resort for more convenient travel.
Thinking of Nueva Ecija, all I know is Gapan and Pantabangan (reminds me of my Baler trips). So I thought, it would be a long ride from Metro Manila. However, it's not the case for Armando's Garden Resort.
If you are coming from any point in Metro Manila, the best way to start off your travel is to take NLEX then head off SCTEX until you reach TPLEX. Travel time is more or less than an hour (depending on your stopover). Toll fee is about Php 360.00.
TPLEX Anao Exit |
From TPLEX's tollgate, for less than an hour, you take Anao Exit to get to the Municipality of Cuyapo. Brgy. Malineng, where the resort is located in, is 30 minutes away from TPLEX Anao Exit.
Please use Waze (not Google Maps) for more accurate directions. If you don’t have a private vehicle, you can rent a car or van here.
You can book a bus trip or rent a car via 12go.
COVID-19 UPDATE
Traveling from NCR to Nueva Ecija is allowed depending to your reason of visit. You also have to bring your vaccination card, valid IDs and quarantine pass (if you have one). PNP/AFP might stop and check your vehicle upon entry or exit of Nueva Ecija.
PARKING
Bringing your own vehicle is no problem! Armando's Garden Resort has a wide and spacious parking area.
