Antonio Mountain Resort Baroy – Hidden Nature Escape

Peaceful surroundings and swaying coconut trees make Antonio Mountain Resort a perfect escape from city life.

I recently discovered a quiet little escape in Brgy. Pange, Baroy, Lanao del Norte—Antonio Mountain Resort! It may be off the tourist radar, but trust me, it’s worth the journey. A great spot for family bonding, Antonio Mountain Resort is also perfect for a peaceful escape. I only learned about this place during my last vacation off the ship, and I instantly loved it. Quiet, surrounded by nature, and perfect for photos—what’s not to love?

Getting there is part of the adventure. The resort is about 2 kilometers from the main road along a bumpy, unpaved path. It can get slippery after rain, so car or motorcycle is the best way to go—skip tricycles or toktoks. Honestly, I love that rustic ride. The rough road feels like a prelude to a quiet, hidden getaway—exactly what you’re about to find at Antonio Mountain Resort.

Relax in Nature

Silence is your soundtrack here: coconut trees, birds, and hush—unless someone brings karaoke. Kind of disrupts the vibe—but it happens.

Swimming & Pool Fun

The pool is clean and chlorinated—not a natural spring, but good enough for casual swimming. It’s also a nice spot for photos. Just remember, shade is limited, so don’t forget sunscreen, hats, or umbrellas.

Take a refreshing dip! The pool at Antonio Mountain Resort is perfect for family fun and Instagram snaps.

Cottages & Overnight Stays

The resort has two air-conditioned thatch-roofed cottages for overnight stays. They’re perfect for those who want to experience the full tranquility of the place—fall asleep to crickets and wake up to birdsong. I haven’t found exact rates yet. It’s a great idea to message them via Facebook or ask locals when you get there to get the current price.

Cozy cottages for overnight stays—sleep under the stars.

Picnic & Snacks

There’s no full restaurant, but a small canteen serves drinks and basic snacks. I highly recommend bringing your own food for a picnic-style lunch or afternoon snack—it makes the visit more relaxed and personal.

Pack your favorite snacks! Enjoy a laid-back picnic by the pool.

Nature & Surroundings

Surrounded by coconut trees and birdsong, the resort is a serene place to unwind. Except for occasional karaoke, it’s almost completely silent—a rare find these days.

How to Get There

A short but bump-filled drive down an unpaved road—part of the charm. If it’s wet, it can get slippery, so take it slow. And don’t bother with tricycles—save yourself the shaky ride.
• From Baroy proper, head toward Brgy. Pange via Butuan–Cagayan de Oro–Iligan Road.
• Once in Purok 3, take the 2-km unpaved road leading to the resort.
• Best travel mode: Car. Avoid habal-habal (single motorcycle), tricycles or toktoks as these won’t do great when it’s bumpy or muddy.
