🛏️Kenemeking Spring Resort
About this place
Tucked into the inland Malibago side of Torrijos, well off the busy Poctoy White Beach loop on the opposite coast, Kenemeking Spring Resort is a small, owner-run swimming-pool spot in Sitio Masilig. On Google Maps the same place is listed under a slightly different version of the name — "Keneme King Farm Resort" — and that's not a typo. The operator, Louie "kEnEmE KiNg" Apostol, telegraphed the rename himself back in 2023, when an August page post said the public swimming pool was being temporarily suspended so they could enhance the experience before officially opening as a "Keneme King farm & resort." Today both names point to the same property, but the Facebook page is still the one most active for updates.
What You Can Book
Kenemeking is, at its core, a swimming-pool resort — Facebook lists the page under the "Public Swimming Pool" category, and the photo set on Google Maps shows a landscaped pool with surrounding open rural land. The owner-uploaded shots and the visitor uploads line up on the same look: a pool area, palm fringe, the kind of well-kept inland grounds that read more "family-run weekend getaway" than "commercial beach resort." What that means in practice: this is the side of Torrijos you come to for a freshwater swim, not for sand. If your trip is locked onto the Poctoy White Beach cluster (Murillo's, Marahuyo, SARA), Kenemeking is the inland counterpart for a kids-can-actually-swim afternoon without the salt and the wind.
What Visitors Say
The Google rating is a clean 5.0 across 6 reviews as of May 2026, but the picture for an outside visitor is still forming. Several of the early reviews come from accounts that share the owner's family surname — Louie "kEnEmE KiNg" Apostol himself, Winnie Apostol, Thomas James Apostol — so they reflect a family launch more than independent guest feedback. The cleanest outside note is from John Francis Andrade in August 2023: one word, "relaxing," attached to a five-star rating and a small batch of photos. The page itself has been quiet for stretches and active for stretches. In May 2026 the operators posted a thank-you to creator JC Cobra Vlog (KeneMoto Vlog) for featuring the resort in a "Beautiful Resort in Malibago Torrijos Marinduque!" travel reel — useful real-world footage if you want a look at the property before you commit.
What to Know Before You Go
Entrance is ₱80 per adult and ₱30 per child as of May 2026 — straightforward day-pass pricing that's friendly to family budgets, though it isn't published on Facebook or on Google so you'll want to confirm the rate hasn't moved before you go. The page lists "Always open," but the 2023 voluntary closure for renovations is a precedent worth respecting; message the page or call the published number before you make the drive, just to confirm they're admitting guests on the day. The page is reasonably responsive — when a visitor commented on the most recent post, the owner replied within minutes. This is a small operation with a small online footprint: no booking-site presence, no published rate card, no real review history yet. Bring cash (small bills help — at ₱80/₱30 per head, exact change for your group is the courteous play), and arrive with the expectation that this is a family-run swimming-pool spot, not a polished resort-hotel.

Where It Sits
Sitio Masilig, Barangay Malibago — inland Torrijos, in the hilly stretch on the opposite side of the municipality from the Poctoy White Beach cluster. For a fuller day on this side, pair the visit with Mount Malindig (the dormant stratovolcano that anchors the Torrijos–Buenavista border, visible from much of this side of the island), Sibuyao Highlands when you want elevation and viewpoints, or a stop at Ludy's Original Halo-Halo back in the Torrijos Poblacion on the way home.
Why to Consider
If you want the freshwater-pool, family-run, inland version of a Torrijos getaway — and you don't mind a phone-only booking flow and a still-forming review picture — Kenemeking is a low-key pick on a part of the municipality most day-trippers skip in favor of the beach. Pick a weekday, message the page ahead of time to confirm rates and that they're admitting guests, and you'll get the version of the place the owner is clearly working to build.
Best Time to Visit
December through May (the dry season) is the safer call — Malibago is inland and hilly, so wet-season afternoons can turn fast and the roads on this side of Torrijos get slick. Weekday mornings are quieter than weekends and the light is gentler on the pool, so if you can swing a Tuesday-or-Wednesday visit, do that. Whatever date you pick, please message the Facebook page or call the published number a day or two ahead — they've quietly closed for enhancements before (August 2023), so a quick confirmation saves you a long ride out for nothing. If you're bringing little ones or older travelers, plan to arrive before midday so you're not on the inland roads at dusk.
What to Bring
How to Get Here
From the Torrijos Poblacion, the standard last-mile option is a tricycle inland toward Barangay Malibago, Sitio Masilig. Tell the driver "Kenemeking spring resort, Sitio Masilig, Malibago" specifically — the property is also known on Google Maps as "Keneme King Farm Resort," so if your driver doesn't recognize the first name, try the second. Negotiate the fare before you get in; for a poblacion-to-Malibago inland ride, ₱150–₱250 one way is in the normal range as of mid-2026 depending on the exact sitio drop-off. From Boac (the provincial capital and the usual jump-off if you've come in via the Balanacan port), take a van or jeep heading toward Torrijos — about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic and how often the driver stops. From the Torrijos Poblacion, tricycle inland as above. If you're a larger group, have small kids, or you're carrying luggage, please consider hiring a van for the whole day from the Boac terminal — the same driver waits and brings you back, so you're not scrambling for a return tricycle from an inland sitio in the late afternoon. Google Maps will get you to the pin reliably — search either name (the listing shows as "Keneme King Farm Resort"). Coming from the Balanacan port, count on an additional 2 to 2.5 hours from the port to Torrijos before the last-mile leg, so plan an early start if you're arriving by ferry and want a proper swim before the light goes. If the road ahead looks rough, call the published number (+63 917 627 3360) before you turn off the main road — the operator is local and will tell you which approach is the cleanest given the day's weather.
Local routes, fares, and ferry schedules can shift without notice — and travel times depend on weather, traffic, and tide. Confirm fares and timing with the driver or locals before you set out.
