Sometimes it is difficult to find a romantic place where you can celebrate anniversaries and monthsaries. The fact is that most of the place that we like is far away from the city and located in a different island. So most of us just look for a romantic restaurant or book a staycation in a hotel within the city.
For couples who really wanted their celebration to be romantic and exceptional there are resorts who are just 3 hours away from manila. Laiya, San Juan, Batangas is located 140 kms from Manila. The place is 28 kms from the San Juan Municipal Hall.
During my vacation in Laiya we stayed at Acuaverde Beach Resort. I just want to reiterate to you that most of the resort in Laiya are really pricey because most of them includes half board of full board accommodation. Though it is pricey to stay in Laiya the place is really breathaking. The beach water is so pristine and the sands are pebble like.The place also offer water sports like jetski,flying fish and banana boat.
Most of the resorts in the area are beach front and you can see the amazing view of the beach. The place is quite isolated or not crowded during regular season, maybe it is because of the price of accommodation here. Our stay in Aquaverde was really relaxing, we stay in Casa Marina Room so this a room that is facing the beach though we are located on the first floor so I recommend you choose the second floor room because each room has veranda where you can relax while staring at the calmness of the beach.During our arrival we are greeted by the resort staff and they are really helpful and they offerred us tamarind lemonade which I really like.Each room is equipped with wifi so you can post all your selfies at the beach right away.Like what I've said most room rates includes meal and we have full board included in our accommodation and they have their meals served at Cocina restaurant, Its is a two storey nipa hut typed structure very native Filipino design .On our first and second day we have a la carte meal but on our third day they serve all foods in buffet style. The food is good and you can add bottled wine but with additional cost.The resort also have a bar, it is called the Al Fresco bar where they serve smoothies,lemonade, cocktails ,wine and beer. and I really like their mango shake really refreshing. The good thing about this bar is that they offer some activities here like foosball. gameboards and table tennis.If you want to swim but forget your towels they will provide you with beach towels so you don't have to bring your own towels.
Their beachfront have cabanas where you can stay and take a nap when you can't take anymore the heat of the sun. and the cabanas are quite romantic you can have privacy there specially at night you can do stargazing with a bornfire and a bottle of wine.They also serve drinks at the cabana so it is really quite romantic.
For Families who have kids and pets the resort is kids friendly as well as pet friendly. They have a mini playground for kids so the kids can play under your watch. The resort also accept pets and each room can accommodate a maximum of two pets but with additional cost.
To sum it up our stay in Laiya Batangas is a mix of relaxation and a romantic get away. I can recommend this place to Honeymooners and couples who want to spend some time together.
