Riverstone Castle Resort is not your ordinary resort – it seems to have the feel of a museum, has the sights of a zoo, and the amenities like ordinary water resorts. How’s that for a mix?

This stone castle built by a Belgian artist stands proudly in Jomgao, Argao southern part of Cebu . Just by looking at its exteriors, you would think this place could be something grand. It is a medieval inspired palace with oversized knights guarding its gates. The entrance to the castle itself is a drawbridge door – a replica of an ancient type of door that is pulled up to close and is lowered down on the ground to open; historically, it also functions like a bridge as castles of the middle ages were surrounded by water. In the case of Riverstone Castle , it has a mini ditch where alligators happily swim just right under the drawbridge. But of course, they are caged for your safety.

As you go inside, there is still that ambiance of olden days with the dim lights and stone interiors. Add to that the vintage-looking harp. But that is not all this extraordinary resort offers – later in your journey of discovering the towers and dungeons, you find some animals like monkeys, rabbits, and exotic birds along the way.

It is not going to be called a resort for nothing. The Riverstone Castle Resort has a swimming pool. Air conditioned rooms and cottages are also available for those who want to make a longer stay.
