CLOUD 9 ANTIPOLO: 360 Deck and Hanging Bridge In Rizal
Antipolo has become one of the most popular weekend getaways near Manila, partly due to its accessibility and vicinity. Although the city center is densely populated, the city’s hilly outskirts emanate a rural atmosphere and rustic allure that attracts to people seeking a quick and easy retreat from the city. This is why the city is filled with gorgeous spa resorts, concept restaurants, and tranquil nature parks.
Cloud 9 Sports and Leisure Club, one of the most well-known leisure centers, was originally offered to the public as a restaurant in 1995. Eventually, accommodations and other entertainment and event facilities were added.
The primary attraction, however, is the 360° View Deck, which provides a panoramic view of the surrounding area, including a distant view of Metro Manila and an outstanding sunset. A spectacular suspension bridge connects to the observation deck. Cloud 9 is also home to the biggest Philippine flag in the Philippines. They will be opening a zip line as part of its attractions.

ARE CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY PERMITTED?
Only guests between the ages of 15 and 65 are permitted inside.
Note that guests who pose a greater health risk or who are immunocompromised are also not permitted in. This complies with IATF regulations and processes.
However, if you intend to stay in one of the rooms, it is strongly recommended that you make a reservation or advance booking, particularly on weekends and holidays.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT?
Weekdays. We arrived during the week, so we were able to easily reserve a table at the restaurant. We did not have to wait in line for the suspension bridge because there was none. We were free to enjoy the vista and take photographs at our own speed.
If you must visit on weekdays or holidays, arrive early to maximize your experience. If you plan to have lunch at the restaurant in order to gain free access to the observation deck and suspension bridge, arrive before 11:30 a.m. and opt for brunch instead.
