I recently visited Regina Rica in Tanay, and the experience was truly serene and peaceful. The atmosphere is solemn, enhanced by the presence of the beautiful image of the Virgin Mary. The good sunny weather added to the overall positive vibe. 🌿 The gardens are lovely, but I suggest enhancing them with more flowering plants to make the surroundings even more captivating. 🍽️ While the restaurant offers a peaceful dining experience, it would be great if there's a stronger emphasis on "Clean as You Go" to maintain the serene ambiance, especially since not all diners are mindful. 🚽 Accessibility to comfort rooms is crucial, especially for the elderly or senior citizens. Ensuring easy access would contribute to a more comfortable experience for all visitors. 🌱 Additionally, it would be wonderful to see more plant-based options on the menu. Embracing a variety of choices would cater to different dietary preferences and promote a healthier lifestyle. 🍲 If you choose to dine at the restaurant, I highly recommend trying the Molo Soup and Mushroom Barbecue. Its super delicious 🤤 Overall, Regina Rica is a gem, and these suggestions are meant to enhance the experience for everyone. Highly recommend for those seeking tranquility and spiritual reflection.

A beautiful place. Perfect for pilgrims who'd like to have a calm and peaceful atmosphere. If you are planning to visit the place, here are a few things that you would need to do. There is no entrance fee. Everyone in all walks of life are free to come regardless of age, religion and ethnicity. Dress code is observed in the place. You are not allowed to enter Mama Mary's mantle and the church if wearing skirts with length above the knee, shorts, short sleeved or spaghetti strapped shirt/blouse, and revealing clothes. Footwear is not allowed but you will be provided with shoe bags. For parents with babies or children, please be considerate with other pilgrims who would want to have a quiet place to pray. If your child is starting to make loud noises, run around the church to play and you cannot control them, please be kind enough to exit the church or mantle. The church and the mantle are NOT playgrounds. Picture taking is strictly prohibited in the mantle. There are NO GABAGE COLLECTORS in the area so YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE HOME YOUR TRASH. Be responsible and mindful with your trash. Eat at designated places. Souvenir shops are also available.

Two hours from Shangri la edsa. Half way there, you have nice paved roads. Place is quiet and ideal for.meditation. Activities are limited. Have to walk towards the Regina grotto. Can visit the place in half a day or less. Attended the 4pm anticipated mass. Nice surrounding with greeneries. Perfect place to walk the whole day unless it's raining and super hot. They have a restaurant but all foods have no meat just veggies. Also limited choices on food. Canton is good. Bihon needs improvement. Stray cuts walking and running inside the restaurant. You may see horses and peacocks on the surrounding gardens. Parking is ok. Reception area is not crowded. For ladies, avoid sleeveless and shorts. Wear something not above the knees. Wear something appropriate. This is not a place for contemplation not for selfies. Good for families with children. For the elderly, may be hard due to steep slopes and long walk. They have small shuttles to cater those in need and for those who don't like walking. Image is huge with a small chapel under the Virgin's image. A lot of photo by opportunities. Don't forget to bring water.

Travelled all the way from the South to finally visit this place. This is a pilgrimage and reflection place of prayer. Regjna Rica promotes and practice silent prayer while walking along the sacred trail. Parking fee of P50 is collected at the gate. Entrance to the place is free. Upon registration there's a short orientation of the place and the rules while inside. If you must visit, dress appropriately as you are entering a sacred place. Silence should always be observed at all times. Picture taking is allowed everywhere except inside the adoration chapel. Volunteers are ready to assist visitors at all the entry points of the place. Temperature check and disinfection is strictly observed. There's a section for columbarium and ossuarie located near the Chapel. Inside the Adoration chapel picture taking is not allowed. The image of Our l Lady of the Most Holy Rosaryis 71ft. tall. Clean comfort rooms, souvenirs and refreshments available at the convenience store. Peaceful place, a taste of heaven on earth.

We visited yesterday, good timing cos it was the Feast of the Nativity of Mary. It was my 2nd visit, but it was the first time to attend mass in this place. There was contemplative/healing prayer at the end of the mass, and the priest dropped (COVID-19 protocol) healing oil to each of our hands and gave us all attendees Miraculous Medallion of Saint Catherin Labouré. It was a wonderful experience and would definitely be back. The place is open from 8am-5pm, you can visit the giant statue of Mama Mary or the Pilgrim’s Place and climb up to the top. Restaurant is open for takeout (during quarantine). If you like peace and solitude, you can find that here. Regina RICA is a holy place and you can feel it as you step inside. Close to nature, closer to God. The Dominican nuns are very friendly and welcoming, and you have to hear their healing prayer being played as you walk up the statue. Regular masses are done every Fridays 11 am and Saturdays and Sundays, 11am and 3:30pm.

A very well-kept, organized and solemn place for prayer and reflection. Aside from being a holy destination for devotees and pilgrims, Regina RICA has also been one Tanay’s prime attractions. An orientation session is given per batch of pilgrims. The orientation session is organized such that pilgrims will be able to fortify anyone’s devotion to the Holy Mother, learn about Regina RICA and at the same time be able to tour the facility. The place has been established in honor of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary. The place promotes not only spiritual wellness but healthy living as well. An organic garden is located within the vast compound of Regina RICA and organic produce is used in serving food to visitors and devotees. Regina RICA has a big parking area but gets full during weekends, holidays and Holy Week. A parking fee of P50 is collected at the entrance. A survey is also handed over to pilgrims which you need to submit at the reception desk.
