I’ve always dreamed of staying at The Farm at San Benito, especially after seeing their beautiful and inspiring social media ads. I was really excited when I finally had the chance to visit, hoping to relax, de-stress, and enjoy healthy food.
Unfortunately, my experience didn’t fully live up to my expectations. The breakfast buffet had limited options, which was a bit disappointing. However, the most stressful part was dining at the PESCE restaurant. We ordered spaghetti priced at over ₱500, which took around 40 minutes to arrive—and when it did, it was bland and lacked flavor. The fish fingers, which cost about ₱800, came after a 45-minute wait, and the serving was not appealing. The menu mentioned tartar sauce, but they only served mayonnaise.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend eating at PESCE. The waiting time alone is stressful, especially if you're with hungry kids. You may want to try their other restaurants, but even then, expect to wait at least 30 minutes for your food.
Overall Rating
Ambiance: 10/10 – The place is truly beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for relaxation.
Food: 4/10 – Pricey, and unfortunately, the taste and quality did not match the cost.
This place offers a beautiful nature-inspired atmosphere that feels calm and private. While the prices are on the higher side, they’re justified by the exclusivity and overall experience, not just the food itself. We explored all five restaurants on-site, each offering unique dishes — a great choice for those with refined or adventurous palates.
The only downside was the warm temperature due to the open-air setup, so bringing extra clothes is recommended. Despite that, it’s a wonderful destination with excellent restaurants and a comfortable hotel, perfect for a relaxing getaway. 🌺
Highly recommended! I planned to celebrate my birthday over the weekend to enjoy some relaxing time, connection and presence with my family. We stayed in their Mahogany Villa and it’s very spacious, well curated plus the view was amazing in the morning as well. The food is AMAZING, we highly recommend dining in PESCE, worth the money! Good food, fresh ingredients. We also enjoyed a grounding & soothing sound healing session before dinner. All the staff & medical team are very attentive & welcoming as well. You’ll be greeted with a smile & warm greetings whoever you see when walking around the area. I really love the lush nature as well, how they maintained the ecosystem and their for support sustainability. Also had a magical experience under their 300-year old mango tree. Indeed, a weekend full of love, grounding & connection! Thank you so much The Farm at San Benito for the surprise perks as well. Truly appreciated and received! We’ll surely be back, overnight stay is “bitin”.
The only one I could compliment is just the impeccable nature vibes they have around here. To get here though, is another thing. You either have to have your own vehicle, or you rent a car. It’s really hard to get here more so if you have a family traveling with you. The food was so so, some are really good, some are meh. Some of the plug in the room not working. Towels are not ready when we are checked in the room? Spa was great!
Nice view good food. However, we experienced a serious issue.
No hot water during our stay in Lakan and Bamboo. Reported but staff wasn't able to fix Lakan. Made it very uncomfortable for our party which included a guest with mobility needs. It would be helpful if hotel ensured hot water system was fully operational before guests check-in
