The Sierra Madre Resort and Hotel, Tanay, Rizal

We had our yearly planning workshop, this time at Sierra Madre Resort and Hotel, KM 56 Tanay, Rizal

The room amenities are not really five star or three star even, but they food is very good and a lot of outdoor activities could be done that visitors will surely enjoy.
