Cintai (pronounced “Chin-tai”) is Indonesian for the word LOVE. One of the servers at the restaurant told us the story of how the place came to be while having dinner. He said that the Garden started out as an ordinary private family rest house. In 2005 however, their mother Corito
was diagnosed with a terminal disease. To help her recuperate from
treatment, the family oftenbrought her to the garden because the place
made her relax and temporarily forget her sickness. Few years later,
Corito finally succumbed to her illness. The family she left, her husband and kids decided to convert he place into a resort thus the creation of Cintai, love
for their mother and love for his wife.

| Road Trip!!! :) |
Cintai Corito’s Garden is an hour drive away from Manila. It's easy to get here, just follow Waze or Google Maps. We used Google Maps to get here. A perfect place for relaxation. The Garden has 4 swiming pools of differen sizes, a play ground, different villas available and a home to different unique animals such as alpacas, spotted deer, mini horses and
peacocks. Since the check in here is at 2:00 PM we went on a side trip at Marian Orchard and got Lunch at Candlelight cafe.
