A Weekend Getaway at John Gil’s Secret Place in Amadeo, Cavite

A few weeks ago, we visited John Gil’s Secret Place, and it was such a memorable staycation. Tucked away in Amadeo, Cavite, this hidden gem is the perfect budget-friendly escape from the city. In this post, I’ll share all about our relaxing experience at this cozy campsite.

John Gil Secret Place has two different private accommodation:

Option 1 gets fully booked quickly; And it was no longer available when we inquired. We opted for Option 2. This is slightly smaller but is as charming as the first option. 

Daily Rate                                         Php 2,500 x 2

Additional pax (2 kids)                      + Php 500 x 2

Additional Bed                                  + Php 250

Total Php 6,250

We paid Php 6,250 for a two-night stay. By the way, we are a total of 6 pax – 4 adults with 2 toddlers.

Our Experience at John Gil's Secret Place

Cavite’s notorious traffic had us expecting a late arrival, and we were right. We even managed to squeeze in a quick grocery stop at Robinsons Dasma for supplies. By the time we finally got to John Gil’s Secret Place, it was already 7:30 PM.

When we finally arrived at this tucked-away spot, we were instantly taken in by its beauty. The peaceful surroundings and lush greenery made the long 5-hour drive from Manila completely worth it. Check-in was a breeze, and after settling in, I got started on dinner while the guys kicked off a drinking session inside the kubo. On day two, Neddiene took care of breakfast while the kids braved the pool, though the water was freezing!

So they washed off and just played inside the tent and teepee hut. 

For our lunch, we prepared a samgyupsal feast. This lasted until dinner.
