Harry's Point is one of the new talk in town, a trending place in the city. It is a park located in the higher part of Mati City that when you get there, you will have a view of the entire city from afar. Many go there for relaxation, family bonding, date and have a taste of the food in their restaurant.
Now let me take you to our Harry's Point trip with my husband.
Harry's point is almost a 40 minute ride from our house but around 25 minutes ride from the City Proper. Since it is located in the higher part of the city, you will expect that the road is really uphill. Going up, up in the uphill is like riding in an airplane that you can feel something in your ears. (I don't know exactly what's the term for that)
We really planned to go there near sunset so that we can have a view of the city at night. We arrived at around 5:10 pm. One should have a short hiking going up the restaurant and the park.
They have an entrance fee of Php 25.00 for the adults and Php 15.00 for kids. After an almost 3 minute hiking we reached the restaurant and lo, and behold, we saw this view.
Isn't it relaxing and amazing? The wind was cold, enough to dry the sweat that we had for the hike. But, wait there's more!
Harry's Point built some landmarks that you can have a picture taking but you need hike uphill again. We hiked again and we have this another view from this place, a much wider one. I really said "Wow!" and also took pictures of those landmarks.
Aside from the majestic view of the city, they also planted different flowers that you can enjoy watching and taking pictures. Here are some of the flowers and plants that I saw there.
They also have a rest house that one could rent and stay for a night and enjoy the sauna bath, the city view and the fresh air.
It started to be dark, and their lights looks beautiful in the night. We ordered food from the restaurant. We were a couple on a budget, so we just ordered a few from their menu.
While waiting for our order, we enjoyed watching the city with lights on and listening to mellow music, feeling the cold wind and talking with nonsense and with sense things. There were many people coming in the place during that time. They also wanted to see the city in the early night.
Around 20 minutes our orders arrived and here they are!
Time to have food tasting! The presentation, the taste and the serving size were good but not as good compared to the other restaurants that we have tried. Nevertheless we enjoyed the food, after minutes its all gone! We were hungry of hiking I guess.
Our Harry's Point trip was a great experience! I love the ambience, the place and the person I am with. (sorry for being cheesy) It is really good for couples to have some time together, even if they already have kids. Time with each other, talking anything under the sun will really strengthen the bond that you have as couple.
Harry's Point is a good place for relaxation. It is not yet fully developed but I believe that they will keep improving it. But, it is not ideal for people who have problem in walking or hiking. The kids can come to the place but should really be given attention and should be very careful because of its location and there were no barriers for kids yet. I can imagine them rolling in the mountain if not taken cared.
That's all for our Harry's Point trip and thanks for joining us. One plan achieved for my Mental Health Break week. Keep safe everyone!
