10,000 Roses

In this fast-paced life full of stress, it's essential to take a break and unwind. As I got older, I realized the significance of spending quality time with loved ones and exploring new places. Recently, I visited the famous 10,000 Roses in Cordova, Cebu, Philippines. This destination has been trending on social media for years and I always wanted to go there, but I didn't have any means of private transportation. However, since we got our vehicle, traveling has been a breeze. I love exploring new places, and 10,000 Roses was on my bucket list for a long time. For those who are interested, you can find it on Google Maps or ask for directions. It's located in Barangay Day-as in the town of Cordova, Cebu City, Philippines and it's called 10,000 Roses.

As first-time visitors to Cordova, we relied on Google Maps directions to guide us here from Lapu Lapu City. We were pleased to see welcoming signs as we entered the town, as it made our travel easier. It's especially helpful for newcomers or tourists to have clear signage to indicate the location of their desired destination. This is something we appreciate as we've been traveling more often lately. Seeing the sign for the famous 711 convenience store confirmed that we had arrived in Cordova, Cebu, Philippines. We followed the Google Maps instructions to go straight since we were unfamiliar with the area. Overall, the signage and clear directions made our travel experience smoother.

10,000 Roses Parking Area

We've finally arrived at 10,000 Roses, our destination, and parked our motorcycle at their ample parking area located outside the establishment. Despite it being a busy Saturday night, there was enough space to accommodate a large number of customers. Additional parking spaces were also available at the right corner for the convenience of the customers. We paid 20 pesos for our motorcycle, which was a reasonable amount considering the presence of dedicated staff to look after the parked vehicles, ensuring their safety.

Aside from the 10,000 Roses attraction, there are plenty of vendors selling colorful lighting balloons, snacks, and water at the 10,000 Roses site. Children will definitely enjoy seeing the colorful lighting balloons all around the place. Tourists from different countries visit the site frequently, making it famous not only among locals but also among international visitors. The place is very welcoming to everyone, and it's delightful to see people from different nationalities visiting our country. The Philippines is a rich country with many tourist spots, and 10,000 Roses is just one of them. It's definitely worth visiting if you're planning to come here because it's located near the Mactan-Cebu International Airport which is located in Lapu-lapu City, just a few minutes away from Cordova. You might want to add this to your travel bucket list.

Lantaw Restaurant Located Just Outside 10,000 Roses Cordova

If you're a traveler who's feeling hungry after a long journey, I recommend checking out Lantau, a Filipino restaurant located right at the entrance of 10,000 Roses Cordova. Lantaw has branches all over the Philippines and is known for serving famous Filipino dishes. Conveniently, there is also a branch located just outside the 10,000 Roses establishment for bus passengers. If you want to dine in before entering the 10,000 Roses area, you can stop by the Lantau branch outside. Additionally, there is a restaurant inside 10,000 Roses, but I'm not sure if they offer the same menu as Lantaw. It could be just a café serving snacks and refreshments. If you're looking for a seafood meal or some Filipino favorites, I suggest considering Lantaw Restaurant outside of 10,000 Roses. Keep in mind that it may cost extra, so be sure to add it to your budget accordingly.

Before visiting the 10,000 Roses establishment, I met up with some of my closest friends from our hometown, Caduawan, Tabogon, Cebu, who were also there. It was great to reunite and travel together to this new place, which we were all visiting for the first time. We were all filled with excitement and enjoyed exploring the area together. The day felt random, but it turned out to be a happy one as we caught up with each other and took in the relaxing view of the place. Traveling to new places, especially with close friends, is always enjoyable.

10,000 Roses Entrance Fee

I was surprised at how affordable the entrance fees were at this place. They had varying prices for different groups, with persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and children below getting in for free. This is great since it shows that they are not overcharging people. All you need is 20 pesos to enjoy the view and have 10,000 reasons to be happy. Although transportation might be an issue, once you get there, it's very budget-friendly. We went on a Saturday night and there were a lot of people, but it didn't stop us from enjoying our first visit.

After waiting patiently in line at the entrance, we were finally stamped with the official 10,000 Roses logo, signaling that we had paid the entrance fee. Once inside, we began our journey of exploring the 10,000 Roses establishment. It was no surprise to see many people there, as it was a Saturday night, the perfect time to go and see the 10,000 roses lit up.

All over the place, it is filled with so many lights, and it's vibrant to see, and it's very relaxing being able to see the lights. One thing I love about 10,000 Roses is that it is located just near the sea, so you would feel the fresh sea breeze, and you will hear the sound of the waves while enjoying the beautiful view of the ten thousand roses.

So, this is the highlight of the establishment, these artificial roses that lift, especially during night time, and I'm quite not sure if it's a total of 10,000 roses.

It was my first time here, and I was amazed to see the beautiful roses. Although these are artificial, it was such a nice view to see, and it's not bad for a 20 pesos entrance fee, which is worth it.

It's a beautiful tourist destination here in Cordova, which really would attract a lot of tourists, both local and international. This is the highlight of the establishment, but there are many spots you could take photos of. Here are some.

I love that with your 20 pesos entrance, you will enjoy all these amazing views and all the photos that are worth posing for. These are the famous parts for picture takings here in 10,000 Roses, and of course, we did not miss the chance to take photos in these spots. In most of the spots where we took the photos, people were patient, waiting patiently in line to get take photos of these spots.

The 10,000 Roses boasts its own restaurant with a live band playing well-known tunes, including some of today's popular hits. I particularly enjoyed how they serenaded all the diners with their melodious music. Listening to their performance while relaxing on the fluffy big pillows provided outside the restaurant was simply wonderful. The live band was conveniently located near the dining area outside, so customers could enjoy their music while having their meals.

The restaurant with the live band offers a spacious area for customers to relax and enjoy the music. It's one of my favorite things about this place because not only can you see the stunning view of the 10,000 roses, but you can also enjoy the beautiful serenade of the live band while you're there. Many people enjoy listening to the music while dining, but even if you're not dining, you can still sit and enjoy the music.

This is my favorite spot at 10,000 Roses. The open space is filled with chairs facing the sea, giving a spectacular view of the Cebu Cordova Expressway Bridge and the city lights of Cebu City in the distance. The seaview is just breathtaking, and it's a great escape from daily stress. The establishment charged a twenty-peso entrance fee, which was well worth it. Sitting here, listening to the live music, watching the waves, and feeling the cool sea breeze was just perfect. I'll definitely come back soon.
