we requested for their boat ride but nobody responded to our request. on our way out, we were charged an entrance fee of P25 per head by the security guard. No notice was posted in any conspicuous place within the vicinity of the farm. no receipt was issued for the entrance fee. Poor service! weak internal control!

A great place to unwind as the beautifully landscaped surroundings is conducive for relaxation. A native bahay kubo or Balinese type of hut serves as their restaurant. A man-made lake is just outside the restaurant and small boats good for 3-4 are available if you want to enjoy the beauty of the place. We tried their Buco, Calamansi and Cucumber... More

Rafael's Farm is a nice place to visit when in Tacloban, Leyte. We ate lunch at their restaurant and they served good food. The landscaping is beautiful.

This is really nothing great at all. Large grounds of what was probably around 1 acre in the main. A small outdoor restaurant and a moat sized man made lake. Did not spot any animals? Not really worth the effort to visit.

A relaxing place where you can eat at your own pace and at peace. Mood music (Buble) filters through the speakers. Gotta try their spare ribs... and waray laing! Saraaaap! If you don't have any reservation, you gotta wait to be seated... have a cup of cappuccino while you do that and taking in the landscape. Wander around the lagoon,... More

We took a lot of pictures here with my family because they have such wonderful backgrounds. A pond is available but i'm not sure if it's good for boating though i see a... More

The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Very pleasant place to enjoy an afternoon and lunch or dinner. Food was good and reasonably priced.

I went to San Rafael Farm without expecting anything. I have never even heard of it until that day. The place really came out as a surprise because it's just so pretty... and serene! :) It was beautifully landscaped, with so many open green spaces where you can walk around. Even my 4-year old boy enjoyed his time there! He... More

I like the place. The garden is well maintained. We went there last Easter Sunday. The food is great...so sad that the waiter who served us doesn't seem to have people skills. We were waiting for our food beside the fish pond and it so happened that it rained so we moved the sofa a little bit inwards as the... More
