A Different Way to Experience Iligan:
See the City From Above
You can spend a whole day in Iligan hearing the roar of waterfalls, the honk of jeepneys, and the buzz of the city. Then you drive minutes up a hill, and suddenly all you can hear is the wind,the chirping birds and the rustling leaves.

Have you ever wondered how beautiful Iligan City looks from above, beyond its busy streets?
Welcome to Monte de Amore, a place to slow down and experience Iligan from a whole new perspective.
A View Worth the Climb
The ride uphill can be bumpy and a little scary, but the view at the top makes it all worth it. You can see the city’s rooftops, buildings, busy streets, and the sea stretching toward the horizon. It’s the kind of view that makes you stop and say, “Wow, what a view!”
Sometimes, seeing a familiar place from a different angle makes you appreciate it even more.
The Pool With the Best View in Town
Unlike ordinary pools surrounded by fences and chairs, this pool opens up to a beautiful view of the city. You can relax by the water while watching the clouds pass and listening to birds chirp in the nearby trees.
At night, the pool lights up as the city slowly comes alive with lights. It’s the kind of view that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and appreciate the little things we often overlook.
Stay, Camp, or Simply Stop By
Monte de Amore offers rooms for couples, families, and barkadas, including groups of six. For those who prefer the outdoors, tents are also available for a night under the stars.
If you don’t have the whole day to spare, you can still drop by to enjoy the fresh air, take a swim, or spend time with friends and family. They also have cottages where you can relax and enjoy the day without booking a room.
Discover Iligan From a Different Perspective
Iligan will always be known for its majestic waterfalls, but there’s more to discover beyond them. This place is a perfect way to slow down, reconnect with loved ones, and appreciate the city in a different way.
Sometimes, all it takes is a change in view to see the beauty we’ve been missing. Here at Monte de Amore, Iligan has a different story to tell, one that’s best seen from above.
