It has various recreational facilities such as Olympic-size pool, Bowling Center, Billiard & Table Tennis room, Golf Riding Range, Lawn Tennis Courts, Basketball & Volleyball Courts, Baseball Field & Firing Range among others.

I never heard of this place before, i saw this on google map and thought that it's a village. Good thing, we know someone who knew someone who previously work with the now non-operational Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, so we finally we made a reservation. From what i gathered, this is a housing facilities at the time when the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is still at works for the employees and staff. Some staff are still residing in some houses. I do not know if this is a non profit-organization or they operate just to sustain in keeping the place and staff because even if they accept guest, there is no extensive marketing of the place. The houses are big and comfy but needed renovation, some houses are abandoned and needed total restoration but nevertheless, a prefer this place if i am going to bataan with friends and families.

There 4-bedroom houses cost P3,500 and 2-bedroom cost 2,800. There is a CR/Shower room which is adjoining two rooms. Rooms have 2 queen beds, aircon and cabinets. The house has a lawn, garage, dirty kitchen, sliding glass door to a veranda and a spacious living/dining room. You can rent a gas range for P500.00 or you can bring one if you prefer. I would love to have a TV - please NPC provide some TV :-). The recreational facilities is a 10-15 minutes walk from the guard house. If your going to use the facilities, be sure to inform the guard when you enter, it can be tiring if your going back and forth at the guardhouse or ask a contact person and number who can assist you during your stay. This place is old so it can be eerie at night.

The accommodations includes an entrance to Westnuk Beach Resort, it is inside the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant which is 20 minute ride from NPC Village Resort. Secure a gate pass at NPC before you head to Westnuk coz if you dont, an entrance fee there cost P130.00 each. We have a gate pass from our contact so we only paid a cottage fee of P130.00, i'm not quite sure if because we have a recommendation from an ex-employee but it does not hurt to ask so give it a try. The road to Westnuk is within a mountain range so it is quite steep, let's just say its curvalicious-if that's even a word. I am surely going back to this place, next time ill drop by the Pawikan Conservatory.
