Celebrating a New Milestone in a Brand New Place!
After three years of celebrating Twinkle’s birthday at Vista Al Sol, we thought it was time to try something new. (If you’ve been following along, you probably remember her 8th and 9th birthdays spent splashing around that cozy pool!) This year, thanks to Ykaie’s online research skills, we discovered a lovely new venue in Bulacan — The Royal Branch Private Pool in Pulilan — and it turned out to be such a fun change of scenery!

📍 The Royal Branch is located along Juan Espino Street, Lumbac, Pulilan, Bulacan. It’s actually an events place, but they also offer private pool rentals for day tours and overnight stays. Perfect for intimate celebrations like birthdays, family get-togethers, or even barkada bonding sessions!
📅 Their schedule is simple and flexible:
🌤 Day Tour: 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM
🌙 Overnight Stay: 2:00 PM to 11:00 AM the next day
For our day tour, we paid ₱7,500 for 15 people — not bad at all for a full day of fun!
Here are some of the things we LOVED about the place:
💦 Beach-Type Pool – The shallow entrance makes it safe and fun for the kids, and it looks great in photos too!
🛏 Air-Conditioned Cabin – Fully equipped with 4 queen-size beds, a loft with extra mattresses, and a cozy vibe overall.
📺 TV with Cable – Great for winding down or keeping the kids entertained during break time.
🍽 Outdoor Kitchen – Comes complete with a rice cooker, electric kettle, kitchenwares, refrigerator, and even a BBQ griller!
🎤 Videoke – Yes, may videoke! Of course, we sang our hearts out after swimming.
🎯 Mini Activities – There’s mini-billiards (which my nieces loved), dart board, and even an archery set for a bit of fun on the side.
They even provide FREE 1 gallon of water, a cooler of ice, use of the gas stove, and spacious parking. It was such a thoughtful and complete setup — we didn’t feel like we were lacking anything.
Honestly, we had a blast! The place is clean, relaxing, and family-friendly. While we enjoyed our day tour, I think it would’ve been even better if we stayed overnight. The resort lights up beautifully in the evening and has such a calm, cozy ambiance at night — sana next time overnight na!
If you’re planning a private pool getaway or a simple but special celebration, The Royal Branch is definitely worth considering!
And of course, this celebration wouldn’t be complete without a heartfelt “Happy Birthday, Twinkle!” 🎉 You’re growing up so fast, and I’m so thankful we get to create memories like this together every year.
