How do I get to Mambukal Resort from Bacolod-Silay airport?
Short answer
Mambukal Mountain Resort sits up in the hills of Murcia, and you can head there straight from Bacolod-Silay Airport (BCD) without going into the city first. The airport is about 15 km north of Bacolod near Silay, and Mambukal is roughly 30 km east of the city, so it is around 35 km inland by road, usually about an hour by private car depending on traffic and the climb.
The easiest way after a flight is a private car that meets you at arrivals and drives you straight up to the resort, with the driver waiting through your hot-springs soak and the seven-waterfalls trail. Resort entry is paid at the gate, outside the car quote.
