"The resort offers a unique relaxing experience with its array of pools of sulfuric hot spring water..."
I've got the chance to visit Mapaso Wellness Resort in Mainit, Surigao del Norte last month - June 2013.
A must visit in Mainit (Surigao del Norte), Mapaso Wellness Resort is a perfect place for aching and tired muscles. The resort offers natural spa through its array of pools with continuous/flowing supply of hot spring water. Many believe of its healing prowess. Imagine submerging your body in a pool of hot spring water- relaxing!
Plan your visit now to Surigao del Norte and don't forget to include Mapaso Wellness Resort in your itinerary.

How to Get There:
If you have your own car, just find crossing Magpayanggoing to Mainit or Matin-ao. Look for the sign of “Magpaso Wellness Resort” in junction Mapaso. From crossing, another one km rough-road-drive going to the location of the hot spring.
From Butuan, ride in a bus bound to Surigao City. Tell the driver/conductor to drop you in eskina/crossing Magpayang. There are tricycles and habal-habal for hire in Magpayang. I recommend habal-habal - it can tolerate the rocky and rough road going to the location of the hot spring. Bus fare is P100+ for air-conditioned and much cheaper for non-aircon while hiring of habal-habal costs around P100-150.
From Surigao City, ride in a bus or van bound to Butuan City. There are also multicabs bound to Kitcharao. Tell the driver to drop you in crossing Magpayang.
