Practical

Position from OpenStreetMap (tourism=hotel, Magdiwang; an unnamed restaurant is mapped inside the grounds at 12.49003, 122.53541 and a convenience shop at 12.48988, 122.53564). The Natural Pool (Pawala River) is mapped at 12.48976, 122.5366 and a Guiting-Guiting viewpoint at 12.4916, 122.53416. About 2 km east of Magdiwang town and close to the Mt. Guiting-Guiting Natural Park office, so it pairs with a park visit or Lambingan Falls. Entrance fees, opening times and menu were not verifiable (resort website unreachable in 2026) - ask in Magdiwang.
