Gilkrissa Function Hall and Resort, the newest resort in Iriga City, Camarines Sur.


There’s a new resort in Iriga City, and it’s called Gilkrissa Function Hall and Resort. Actually, this business has already been in existence for several years now but during those years they only have a function hall. A few weeks ago, they constructed a swimming pool to convert their business into a resort. The place is just a small resort. The pool is a small pool which is only 4 to 5 feet deep and very ideal for kids.

They also have several cottages that are for rent and you can also rent a log cabin for an overnight stay. As of now, they only have 3 air-conditioned cabins that are available for rent and these are only small cabin with one queen size bed, a small refrigerator, a flat-screen tv and its own bathroom. The cabin can only accommodate up to 2 persons only. The price for the cabin is 2,500 pesos per night. The rental fee for the cottages is 250 pesos only and for the entrance fee at the resort, that’s 50 pesos for adults and 30 pesos for kids.

The resort also has a minibar at the pool and a waterslide. I don’t know if they offer foods at the resort or if you can order a cooked meal, but I guess they have those kind of services since they also have a large function hall that is for rent for wedding reception, birthday parties and other activities. The resort is located at Emerald Street, Barangay San Nicolas, Iriga City. You can call these numbers for more information. +639198571433 and (054) 299-1832

How to get to Gilkrissa Resort:

By Plane:

Cebu Pacific and Air Philippines have several daily flights to Naga Airport. From Naga Airport, located in the town of Pili, you can ride a bus or a taxi bound for Iriga City. The city is about 45 minutes to 1 hour ride from the airport. The bus fare from Pili to Iriga City is 30 pesos and be sure to get off at the San Nicolas barangay hall. From the barangay hall, you turn left and then take the first road to the right. The resort is just more or less than 100 meters from the barangay hall. If you’re coming from Naga or Pili, you will be passing the forked road in Baao town going to downtown Baao and Iriga City. Just after the railroad crossing, turn left going to Iriga City, because if you turn right, that’s the road going to Nabua and Legazpi City.


By Bus:

From Manila, there are several buses bound to Bicol region. Ride a bus that is bound for Iriga City or Legazpi City and then get off at Iriga City.  If you’ll be riding a bus bound for Legazpi City or Tabaco City, be sure to ask the driver or the conductor if the bus will pass by the city of Iriga because some buses will not pass Iriga City and will just use the diversion road at Nabua town. The usual travel time from Metro Manila to Iriga City is 8 to 10 hours. There are a number of bus terminals in Cubao, Quezon City, that have buses bound for Iriga City, Legazpi City and Tabaco City. There are also bus terminals in Pasay City, near Pasay Rotonda.

By Train:

The PNR has a regular train schedule for the Manila-Ligao City route. The train departs at Tutuban Station in Manila every 6pm and 8:30pm and arrives at Ligao City at around 6am the next day. Ride the train and get off at PNR Iriga City Station. The last station is Ligao City station which is 45 minutes away from Iriga City so be sure to get off at Iriga City. The usual travel time is 10 to 12 hours. From Iriga City PNR station, ride a tricycle and tell the driver that you’re going to Gilkrissa Resort at Barangay San Nicolas. The travel time is just around 10 minutes.
