Road Trip to Batangas
March 24, 2008 | Filed under Adventure | 4,102 views
WoohOoo! Finally, I was able to rest three days. It’s something that I’m looking for months now. My friends and I went to Batangas after my work. It was not planned. We’re all not prepared. We went to San Juan Batangas. But before we got there, we lost our way. It was a road trip.
We’re all tired and hungry so when we got there, we went to the first beach we saw. We found Laiya White Cove Beach Resort. But the rooms were full except for the cottage so we hit the road again. We went to different beaches but none of them got our attention. So we went back to Laiya White Cove Beach Resort and rented the cottage. I checked my wallet and found out it was not enough for a three days stay. Damn. I thought there was an ATM machine and that they accept credit card payments but they didn’t. Everything there is really expensive. We spent out all our money in just one night. When the morning came, I thought of hitting the road again, looked for an ATM machine and buy some food and drinks. But to my surprised, my gasoline was almost empty. The first thing we did was to look for a gasoline station and we found one after 24 kilometers. We then look for an ATM machine but the only ATM machine in San Juan was offline. We were told we could find one in Candelaria. It was in Quezon. So we hit the road again and went to Candelaria, Quezon. It was a 30-minute drive from San Juan, Batangas. It was totally a road trip. When we got there, we bought food/drinks and went back to resort. We stayed there from Thursday until Saturday afternoon. We all had fun. Cool.

Actually we weren’t able to rent a room since it’s already full. Yeah, they got strong shower on the public C.R. but the flooring was not yet tiled so medyo…
But if you want a clean bed, strong shower and less crowd, you may want to check out Palm Beach Resort.

Thanks! We’ve been to Palm Beach Resort already, the beach area is made up of crushed corals not good for company team games
Thanks! hopefully we get to visit Laiya white cove. by the way if you want to visit another resort check out Balai Laiya it’s a small neat resort along Laiya suki na ako dun 
but the place can only accomodate 30 people e 100 pax kami. Ciao! Happy Summer! – Christine

Meron. The last time I went there, parang 2k-5k ang room. Kung may balak kayo pumunta this weekend, I suggest magpabook na kayo. Last year kase hindi kame nakapasok dun kase puno na!

hey there… i have the same experience with you.. it all started with a road trip… everything was unplanned and to our surprise we are already driving going to Laiya… it was awesome!!… we arrived at around 9pm, hit the beach by immediately and went home at 1am and arrived home 3am (today)… we found a beach where there is no entrance fee (semi-private) we spent P500 for the “kubo”… it was all worth it…

went to Laiya, White Cove this holy week 2010 and I was really disappointed. The place is nice but the crew is not so friendly. When we arrived, reception people were ok but they did not even offered to assist us, lead us to where we can wait till our room can be accommodated. Then, our dinner was served around 9pm already! Ang tagal ng set-up! It was by the beach and lighting was very poor, so you have to guess what kind of food is served. Our meal package is good for 3. We were served 3 viands (mixed veggies, 3 small pcs tilapia w/c i don’t even know what kind of sauce it has, 4cups rice, 2pcs small sliced watermelon & 2pcs small sized pineapple, 1 round softdrinks-coke/sprite). It was not good. Had I not requested the waiter for addtional food, that was our dinner “P316/head”. 2 liters of softdrinks was shared by around 20 people! The next day, my sis-in-law had breakfast first and she just got a small portion of food, when she returned at the breakfast buffet to get a second round, the crew told her that the buffet is only good for one round! Me and my hubby got our breakfast around 9am and there was no one there to serve/assist us. There were hardly no food left (tuna, egg, esp tocino-portioned into 3). Buffet lunch is by portion too! 1pc of each viand, though this time had 4 choices. Our ordered shakes/drinks took so long everytime as well as our ordered additional lunch. When we followed up, the crew we asked would not take responsibility in delivering our meals in our table (it was already labeled by my name and he said “di ko po alam yan!”. They knew they had a lot of guests, they should have added more crew to serve their guests! Or their few staffs could have been more friendly and accommodating. I felt they were very discriminating…sorry for the term but “yung feeling na ginugulangan mo sila” sa food…that they promote as “buffet” (1 time serving only and by portion!). We were suppose to have a relaxing weekend but instead got pissed with the kind of service we experienced at Laiya White Cove. I really want to pose this comment to warn guests who would go there…

I have the same experience din when we had our dinner. mga 1hour ata kami nag-antay and ung porkshop na order namin eh sobrang liit. Kaya after nun, hindi na kami kumain dun. marami naman mabibilhan sa labas ng beach at pwede pa magpaluto at mura pa.
