If you’re already set on booking with us and just stuck deciding between a glamping tent and one of the glass villas, this is the post that settles it. Both are private, both put you right beside the river, and both get booked out fast on weekends — the difference comes down to the number of persons, how much weather-proofing and air conditioning you actually want between you and the outdoors.

Glamping rates run lower than all three rooms above, which is exactly why it’s the go-to for barkada groups and couples on a tighter budget who still want the private, riverside experience rather than a shared kubo.
Here’s the direct answer if you’re still torn: for most first-time guests, book the Glass Villa. It’s the middle ground that covers you either way — private pool, air conditioning, river view — and if you fall in love with the property, the floating glamping tent is the one worth coming back for on a drier month.

What Is Glamping?
Glamping here means two things, not one. There’s the regular landed setup — a proper tent, elevated off the ground, with real bedding instead of a sleeping bag. And there’s the floating version, which does exactly what it sounds like: the tent sits directly on the river. It’s the one people ask us to photograph the most, and it’s genuinely a different feeling waking up with water moving under you instead of ground. The trade-off is honest and worth saying plainly: it’s a tent, not a sealed room. No air conditioning, and weather exposure is real — fantastic on a clear December night, less fun in the middle of a July downpour. If you’re chasing that closer-to-nature feeling and don’t mind a fan instead of AC, this is the pick. Check our Glamping Tents Virtual Tour here.What Is a Glass Villa or Glass Cabin?
The glass villas and cabins are the fully enclosed option — air-conditioned rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, so you still get the river or garden view without giving up climate control. Several of these, including the Glass Villa and Stilt Glass Cabin, come with their own private bubble pool attached to the room. This is the pick for anyone who wants the private, riverside feel without gambling on the weather — or anyone traveling with kids who need an actual bed and a locked door rather than a tent flap.Side-by-Side Comparison

| Amenities | Access to shared infinity pool, swimming falls | Select units include their own bubble pool |
Which One Fits Your Trip?
- If you’re bringing kids: go with a Glass Villa or Glass Cottage. Air conditioning and an enclosed room matter more with children than the novelty of a tent, especially for overnight stays.
- If it’s an anniversary or proposal: the floating glamping tent has the better story, but a Glass Tree House with its own bubble pool has the better execution — private, climate-controlled, and just as photogenic from the inside looking out.
- If you’re on a budget: glamping is the clear value pick. You still get river access, privacy, and the infinity pool — you’re just trading air conditioning and full weatherproofing for a lower rate.
- If you’re visiting between June and October: lean toward our glass accommodations. Typhoon season makes an open tent structure a minor inconvenience.
