La Bella Vida

Located at the high mountains of Clarin, Barangay Guba shines with their new Mountain Resort and Eco-Agri Park - the La Bella Vida. The drive to the resort is quite lengthy with bumpy, rocky and dusty roads (so I suggest closing your windows folks) but the breath taking mountain view made the whole journey worth it. The trip is so long that you'll be confused if you are lost or something... but you'll know when you get there when you already see streamers on the side of the road, but what I like most about this resort is their kiddie-friendly pool with 1 foot in depth (so mommies, you don't need to worry with your little ones). Families could also stay at the resort overnight and use the hall for celebrations. At this time, La Bella Vida is still functioning though under construction with their pools and other facilities.
