My second visit is car camping overnight.
LOCATION = one of the best if not the best for dine in, sight seeing or family camping trip...since around 100 meters from the national highway lang. You have both windy highland feel and scenic beachview... perfect place to escape urban life. yung bungad medyo develop with al fresco cafe and 2 cabin type structure to check in. minimal lang mga facilities with outdoor restroom for campers. most part is raw and hopefully they will keep it that way. the attached picture says it all for the untouched part.
FOOD=so affordable compared to any place nearby yet so great na nakalimutan naming may mga baon pala kami since we availed camping so of course we bring part of our kitchen with us pero nung nakita namin menu, why not avail more. the serving is more than enough for 2-3 person per dish, a bit subjective depende kung gaano kayo kalakas kumain. if benchmark of great food is in comparison to other resorts, this one is great - hindi yung basta mura lang.
AMENITIES is so on point can't suggest more dahil more will make this place less inviting for nature trip. :D kasi kung camper, or for peeps that want's to enjoy the dramatic sunset and afternoon full meal, snack or dinner - restroom is good enough.
CAMPER VAN if you don't want to invest on gears yet but want to experience car camping, they have two vans for rent. medyo di ka masyado maninibago sa car camping kasi may aircon pa :D too much for real car camping pero why not plus very affordable.
MANAGEMENT AND STAFF = so polite and accommodating, wala kami masabi sa service, well coordinated, as previous reviews may vouch it too. They have staffs also na in house overnight for security or emergency assistance.
Overall, 18 degrees offers something new in North Luzon, blessed with beautiful location. A setup like some restaurants in Tanay, Rizal [mountain view] with cold breeze like Baguio or Tagaytay [maybe seasonal] and beachview near Pagudpud...

Read moreThis place is super awesome if you are an American. It's so hard to find food I really like here. It all looks really strange, foreign, low quality or I read a menu and still have no clue what it is. This place was even better than home!!! I had Chicken Alfredo and my gf had Sweet and Sour Pork. Ah finally a menu I recognize. They were both awesome. Like fancy restaurant kinda awesome!! Mine was 170... lol and hers was only 190!!! 🤣 mine could have used more fresh pepper but I know they can't spice it up or the average person might complain. It was still really good though. The pork was a tiny bit harder than perfect but foreign on top of a mountain with an insanely awesome view no worries. Now the extra awesome part... go to any restaurant and a soda is 70-90 for 1 small drink or a small can. I never get enough to drink and don't want to buy 3 at 90 each. This place was 100 for a coke... and it was a 1.5 liter bottle!!!! Oh heck yea!!! Best restaurant EVER!! Finally we got enough to drink, paid a fair price and had some left to take home!!! But wait!!! There is more!!! As the WPPGA Paramotor World Champion I am a master with a paraglider and this place has a clearing at the edge of a horseshoe shaped mountain range facing into the wind!!! I am totally coming back here to fly my paraglider!! 100% A++ if you are in the area this is an absolute must stop. This will likely be the only place I eat here from now on. Loved it!!! The atmosphere here is very yuppie American but super friendly Filipinos...
