Riverview Resort at Asin Road, Tuba

There are hot spring resorts near Baguio City and these are located at Asin Road, Tuba just one jeepney ride from Baguio City. 

One of them is Riverview WaterPark which is the most famous and prominent.  

How to get there?

Take the ASIN jeepney from Baguio City Public Market. Tip: Be there early to maximize the entrance fee.


Travel time will be 3 days and 2 nights, which is a joke as it only means you will go through 2 tunnels to get there.


The resort has rooms in case you want to stay overnight. These are located in the 'private' portion of the resort complex. They also have a restaurant and rooms include free breakfast. They allow guests to swim until 10 in the evening.


The resort also have a public portion. Swimming is from morning until 4 in the afternoon. Entrance fee is less than 100 pesos per adult (as of May 2013). There are 3 main pools each with slides. These pools are on different heights as they are build along a mountain side.


Included in the entrance fee are the cottages. You may also bring charcoal and marinated meat to grill. 


Best time to go there is when the temperature starts to fall. So from December-February. Summer may just be too crowded unless you'll be staying overnight, then you have the early morning and late afternoon to evening without the crowd and the water newly replaced.


So next time in Baguio make a side trip to Asin and enjoy their hot springs!
