Speaking of summer getaways. If you are living in Metro Manila and the southern part of Luzon, Batangas is a popular summer destination because of the beach resorts. We live in South Luzon so it is our go-to place if we want to have fun in the sun. There are so many resorts in different parts of Batangas but I will share the resorts that we have tried in the past.
Batangas Resorts
1. Golden Sunset Resort
Golden Sunset Resort is located in Calatagan, Batangas owned by Ricky Reyes. The resort has different types of swimming pools but no beach (just beach sand). It offers an outdoor museum, playground, butterfly garden, and serendipity spa which you can visit during your leisure time. During our visit, there was a parade show of sea creatures. The place is a little bit big but don’t worry there is a mini-jeepney inside the resort that transports guests.Read: Golden Sunset Resort
2. Kabayan Resort
Kabayan Resort is the cheapest resort that we’ve visited in Laiya, San Juan Batangas because the entrance fee is only P100 for adults and P50 for 11 years old and below so it is not surprising that the place is crowded during peak season. It offers both beach and a swimming pool but there will be an additional fee if you want to use the swimming pool. You can bring your own food and drinks without a corkage fee.Read: Kabayan Resort
3. Blue Coral Resort
Blue Coral Resort is the second beach resort that we’ve tried in Laiya, San Juan Batangas. The resort facilities, rooms, and services were good but the food was just ok for us. Food and drinks are not allowed so you have to avail of their food package for P1,100 per person which includes buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Read: Blue Coral Resort
4. La Luz Resort
Another beach resort that we’ve visited in Laiya, San Juan Batangas is La Luz Resort, the resort is always fully booked even in lean season so make sure that you make a reservation for a day trip and overnight stay. The day trip fee is P850 which includes buffet lunch and merienda, you can add buffet breakfast for an additional fee of P200 per head. The beach resort has no swimming pool.Read: La Luz Resort
5. Stilts Calatagan Resort
Stilts Calatagan Resort is one of the resorts that I’ve been meaning to visit but their room accommodation is quite steep in my budget so we just had a day trip. It offers a beach and swimming pool. The beach in Calatagan, Batangas is not as good compared to Laiya, San Juan Batangas so manage your expectation. Food and drinks are allowed but with a corkage fee. I like the service at Stilts Calatagan and if ever I have a budget I would like to revisit the place but this time for an overnight stay in one of their cottages.Read: Stilts Calatagan Resort
6. Canyon Cove Resort
Canyon Cove Resort is located in Nasugbu, Batangas, just like other resorts this place is always fully booked whether lean or peak season. We just visited this place last November and my mom wanted to have an outing here but when I checked the March weekend schedule last November, fully booked na agad. The resort has both a swimming pool and a beach. I prefer the beach in Nasugbu compared to Calatagan and Laiya, San Juan Batangas (hindi kasi bigla lalim and hindi maalon).Read: Canyon Cove

7. Acuatico Beach Resort and Hotel 2015

9. Hamilo Coast Pico De Loro 2018
We stayed at Pico Sands Hotel but you can also rent a condominium in order to enter Hamilo Coast Pico De Loro. The place is big and it offers both a swimming pool and a beach. You have no reasons to get bored here because they have a lot of activities that you can do. They have several restaurants so you'll never get hungry.

This is the fifth resort that we have tried in San Juan, Batangas. It is the sister company of Acuatico Beach Resort but they do not have a swimming pool.

12. Palm Beach Resort 2019
Palm Beach Resort offers a day trip and overnight stay. They have rooms for a couple, family, and even for a big group. They have 2 swimming pools, a beach, a playground, and some team building facilities. The place is big so sometimes going from one place to another makes you feel tired but they have a shuttle service for that. The shore of the beach is a little bit rocky so it is better to bring your aqua shoes or you can borrow them, it depends on the availability. For an overnight stay, you need to avail yourself of their full-board meals at P1800.Read: Palm Beach Resort

13. The Farm at San Benito 2019
The Farm at San Benito is not a beach resort, it is a Health and Wellness resort so if you are looking for a peaceful place then visit this holistic sanctuary. They have activities for kids and adults, some are free and some are for a fee. The only disadvantage is, that everything is expensive but if you have the budget, then treat yourself and stay here.Read: The Farm at San Benito

Lilom Resort is the second resort that we have tried in Anilao, Batangas. This is a rustic resort with 7 rooms only so you can book the whole resort if you want an exclusive stay. The rate includes full-board meals so getting hungry is never a problem.
15. The Henry Resort Taramindu Laiya 2022
I celebrated my birthday at The Henry Resort Taramindu Laiya, it is the former Taramindu Beach Garden. It offers both a swimming pool and a beach. Their room is good for 2 to 4 people only. It has its own restaurant which is called Apartment 1B.

Thank you for sharing this. I am from Quezon City and the South area is also our favorite destination during summer because its only a few hours from us. This post is definitely a good resort guide for people like us. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love a beach na hindi biglang lalim because we have little children. Also, I prefer a resort with pool AND beach. Pico de Loro is a good option, although there's membership or you have to be vouched by the member or something. But, in the late afternoon, there are jellyfish already swimming beside us. Yikes!
ReplyDeletePico De Loro is nice too but quite expensive for non members. Scary naman ang jellyfish.
DeleteWow, so many resorts in Batangas! And I bet, from your experience, you can identify which resort has good water sports facilities, the best for the budget conscious and so on. Yes, summer is undeniably here! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful place and resort to visit. You really got me on this and I feel like flying over there asap.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, enjoy and have fun. Thanks for sharing all the amazing pictures.
Philippines has a lot of beautiful beaches so it is really fun to spend summer here. :)
DeleteWe were able to go to a few resorts in Batangas but haven't been at the ones mentioned above. Summer is already and we have to plan again for the outing for family and the company I belong to.
ReplyDeleteOh, now I'm drooling over the pictures. I'm a beach lover and I can remember when I was still in the Philippines, my family always go to Batangas for family outing. A week before going to KSA, my sister and her husband brought me to Batangas to get the last taste of beach even if it has typhoon that time. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhao there are so many different resorts to stay at at Batangas. I too think that Cannon Cove looks the most grand place to stay at.
ReplyDeletethanks for this post, now i have an idea where can we enjoy this summer at batangas, nice places!
ReplyDeleteNow we have hints for R and R activities for our annual event.
ReplyDeleteOh my, these beaches are as mouth watering as food! lol! Summer's really almost here! :)
ReplyDeleteI also want to go to the beach with my family because my kids haven't visited one since we came to the Philippines. Thanks for the list of resorts we could choose from in Batangas. Perhaps we could visit one this summer...
ReplyDeleteWow! You've traveled a lot! Thank you for sharing these beautiful resorts in Batangas. I may not be able to visit them soon but this list is very helpful. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteYay. Summer is here. Hopefully we can hit a beach this summer. I am sure Matthew will enjoy it this time.
ReplyDeleteBATANGAS is one of those places to visit when summertime hits. The beaches, the white sands and the mini-island resorts there are all amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeen here! Yeah, awesome place for RnR :-)
ReplyDeleteLike Cym, I look for a resort with the best of both worlds - clear, kid-friendly beaches and a swimming pool too. My girls tend to panic when they hear the sound of water by the bay. I bring them anyways; just so they will find that there's nothing to be scared about. In time, they will fully enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteMy son prefers pool than beach so it is really nice if the resort offers pool. :)
Deletethis list is so timely! nakakalokang magbook ng pangsummer outing namin sa office, kundi puno na yung resort, ang mahal naman
ReplyDeleteTrue, so sometimes I prefer to have an early summer outing to avoid the peak season rate. :)
DeleteI've only been to Laiya. Stilts looks inviting. Only if they're all accessible by public transpo.
ReplyDeleteI'm missing the Philippines so much with this post. I love seeing all the beautiful resorts that surely give relaxation to the whole family. So perfect for summer coming up. Thanks for sharing Sis
