Goshen Hotel and Resort -  you can get a taste of Colosseum (also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city in Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built.)  just in Bamban, Tarlac.  With Colosseum on the bucket lists of many, what would it feel like if you got a slice of that even for an overnight weekend at lesser cost?

You don’t have to spend a lot to get that. Situated in Brgy, Lourdes the unassuming facade opens up to a refreshing experience.  Bamban is most commonly known for Our Lady of Lourdes Pilgrims.

And when I say the European ambiance there is amazing… it's really A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

The rooms are really nice and so are the bathrooms.  If you’re looking to stay in the whole weekend, the rooms are perfect for relaxing too.

What you would like the most when you look outside the windows you can get a view like this.

Definitely a place to relax this summer! The pool and accommodations are well setup and maintained for a refreshing Europe-ish experience.
