A Simple yet Relaxing Place
If you are from the north of Cebu or just passing by Compostela, you might have been familiar with Twilight Pool. This resort is located in Estaca, Poblacion, which is not so fancy, but maybe that's what makes it interesting. It is never too crowded to not enjoy your time there. Just bring yourself food and good company, and you are good to go.
How to Get There
It's super easy to find! If you're commuting, just hop on a jeepney or bus heading north and ask to be dropped off near Estaca. From there, you can either walk a bit or take a habal-habal. If you're driving, there's a parking area nearby, so no stress.
First Impressions
I wasn't expecting a lot when I came here, but that was the beauty of it, really. It's just a simple, chill place that's really mellow. The pool isn't gigantic, but it's clean and well-kept. There are trees around, so it doesn't feel too hot even during the day.
Swimming and Relaxation
The pool is just the right size—not too deep or shallow. There's a kiddie area for the little ones and a deeper section for those who want to swim properly. The water is clean, and the whole place feels relaxing. If you're not in the mood to swim, you can sit back, enjoy the shade, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.
Ideal for small gatherings
Twilight Pool is great for solo trips, but it's even better if you go with friends and family or for a small celebration. There are cottages and tables for rent, so you can bring your own food and have a mini picnic. There are small stores nearby where you can grab snacks and drinks, but if you plan to stay longer, it's better to bring your own food since there aren't a lot of big restaurants around.
Budget-Friendly
One thing I love about Twilight Pool is that it is super cheap: the entrance fee is affordable, and even cottage rentals are not all that expensive.
Best Time to Visit
If you want a quiet time, come during the weekdays. On weekends, things can be a bit crowded, especially in the afternoon. If you're after a more peaceful swim, go in the morning. Warm at night and with soft lights around the area, it is never a luxury night resort but a nice spot to unwind and enjoy the cool evening air.
Twilight Pool is far from a five-star resort; that's where its charm comes in. It's bare bones, as inexpensive as the best places can be, but it's somewhere to take your ease. Then again, sometimes you don't want to go as far or take so many dollars in roasted currency to have a good time. If you're in Compostela or nearby, give it a visit! Be it just a dip, a fun day out with friends, or simply relaxation, you'll find Twilight Pool worth a visit.
