As a scuba diver and adventure seeker, Batangas is one of those dreamy destinations that simply have a lot to offer. Next to Anilao, San Juan, Batangas is surely the next best thing for beach lovers alike.
My family had our needed dose of vitamin sea during our stay in Blue Coral Beach Resort in September 2018. We booked the beachside room good for 4-5 pax at the rate of P12,000/day. Lounging at the balcony overlooking the beach made the cost so worth it. The resort's infinity pool is also one of the best backdrops for one too many photo ops. Overnight guests, however, are required to avail full meal buffet packages at P1,600 for adults and with 50% discounted rates for kids 4 to 10yo. They also offer day tour packages at P1,200 per pax.
Our 2019 weekender trip to Acuatico Beach Resort was the stress reliever we longed after a week’s worth of work and school load for my daughter. We were able to book the La Prima Double and Single room in the resort’s La Prima Wing at the rate of P16,800/night inclusive of breakfast, good for three adults and one child. The private pool and garden view are exclusive for the wing’s guests. We took our time indulging in the Main Wing’s infinity pool and enjoyed the laid-back vibe in the beach. Day tour rates are at P2,700 per person with food and beverage consumables worth P1,000.
In 2022, we spent our pre-Valentine’s Day weekend at an Airbnb beach house near the Laiya coastline costing P10,932, good for 15 pax. The place consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining area, kitchen and a spacious living room. We planned a day of island hopping by contracting a boat worth P3,000 for our group. As the pandemic took a toll in our lives after more than two years, it was quite refreshing to see my daughter back at her element---enjoying freediving, exploring the island and playing with her cousins by the beach. The following day was spent at La Luz Beach Resort for a day tour rate of P800 per person. The kiddos maximized their vacay by swimming in the resort’s pool.
As of April 2022, guests of all ages are welcome for staycation in San Juan, Batangas except those coming from areas under Alert Level 4 and 5. Fully vaccinated individuals are only required to present their vaccination cards upon confirmation of booking. See also Laiya, Batangas for other resort options.

Certified as a PADI rescue diver. Got my first compact camera in 2011. I was simply content then to just capture a glimpse of what I see during my dives. It was only last February 2014 that I fully maximized the use of manual macro settings.
My camera skills and knowledge are still a work in progress. Enjoy browsin’!
