Despite being surrounded with waters, many of us still find playing with and in the water amusing. Our family, for example, resides near the shore and yet, despite seeing the water every single day, we always end up in a waterpark, a beach resort, or a mountain resort with giant pool for our family bonding adventures. We celebrated birthdays in a pool resort, post fiesta activities in a beach, or Christmas bonding somewhere with beach front.
One of those bonding celebs brought us to Port Royale Waterpark Resort. That was my birthday anyway, and the kids and adults loved it.
Nestled along the coast of Mangnao in Dumaguete City, Port Royale Waterpark Resort emerges as a vibrant aquatic playground, promising a refreshing escape for families, friends, and water enthusiasts alike. Billing itself as the first and biggest waterpark in the province of Negros Oriental, Port Royale offers a delightful blend of thrilling water attractions and relaxing resort amenities, all set against a picturesque backdrop
Port Royale is not for the laid-back
The heart of Port Royale lies in its diverse array of water features. For the adrenaline seekers, a variety of towering water slides promise exhilarating descents, with twists and turns that culminate in a cool, splashing finale. Those looking for a more laid-back experience can drift along the lazy river, a gentle current winding through the resort, offering a serene way to soak in the tropical ambiance.
Younger visitors are well catered for in a dedicated kiddie pool area, complete with mini-slides, splash zones, and playful water elements designed for safe and engaging fun. Adding to the aquatic adventure is a wave pool, designed to mimic the ocean’s rhythm, bringing a taste of the beach to the waterpark.
