We have had a lot of trips along the way and it surely does not end there. Those trips were made memorable because of the hospitality shown to us by our fellow Batangueños in every place we’ve been to.
What you will see here are the resorts we have featured in the past five years of discovering Batangas. The good thing about these Batangas resorts is that apart from letting people experience their facilities and services, they also try to showcase the beauty of province in different ways.
BEACH RESORTS
Dive Solana (Anilao, Mabini)
If you prefer the kind of relaxation where beauty of nature is focused right before your very eyes, beach resorts in Anilao will surely give you that. We had the best time during our stay in Dive Solana back in March 2010. We did kayaking, snorkeling, and had delightful meals in between.

Butterfly Beach House (Brgy. Fabrica, Lobo)
Butterfly Beach House is a humble beach accommodation in Lobo. It’s a decent place to accommodate you and your group after a day of swimming and sunbathing. There are lesser beach activities you can do here but we tell you, summer is better spent here than in other crowded beaches in the country.

La Sueña Brisa Resort (Brgy. Nonong Casto, Lemery)
Do you still remember the days when Matabungkay beach in Lian and the black sand beach of Lemery were the most frequented summer destinations in Batangas? For everyone’s information, these beaches are still drawing in thousands of people every year. And if you haven’t been back to Lemery, there’s this one lovely resort there called La Sueña Brisa that’s becoming popular among visitors from various places such as Manila.

Llamar Beach Resort (Laiya, San Juan)
You know how Laiya is so popular among beachgoers during the summer season. But we are yet to feature the long list of resorts lined up along the infamous stretch of San Juan, Batangas beach. However, during one random road trip to Laiya, we were welcomed by the staff of Llamar Beach Resort. I forgot how we were able to contact the owner but it was a good short trip we had there.

LAKESHORE RESORTS
Galilee Place Resort and Spa (Brgy. Sala, Balete)
Balete is where you can capture the best sunset shot (at least for us). Galilee Place Resort and Spa is a typical Filipino resort with nipa huts and cottages strategically located on the site. No deluxe rooms as everything is designed to give you that very Pinoy accommodation and so that you can indulge yourselves more on the beauty of what’s outdoor.

Club Balai Isabel (Brgy. Banga, Talisay)
This resort in Talisay, Batangas is a well-known destination for weddings. Because of the picturesque view of Taal Lake and Mt. Binintian (the cone-shaped mountain people mistaken as Taal Volcano), this location of this lakeshore resort injects more drama and romance to a couple’s significant event. Celebrity couple Kristine Hermosa and Oyo Boy Sotto tied the knot here in 2011.

Villa Khristalene Resort (Brgy. Leynes, Talisay)
You know that “feeling at home” vibe you get on a place that’s situated far away from your own home? We had that when we were at Villa Khristalene Resort in Talisay. It’s another resort by the shore of Taal Lake which gives you quite a closer view of the volcano across the water. Villa Khristalene feels much like of a vacation house where familiarity is so comforting you would want to stay for longer.

GARDEN AND SWIMMING POOL RESORTS
Abby’s Garden Resort (Aroma Beach, Butong, Taal)
When it comes to finding a resort to book, there are people who don’t look for anything fancy. And a resort, we believe, does not have to be hectares-wide to be beautiful. Abby’s Garden Resort has the kind of appeal that is not overwhelming, just right. It’s a recommended place to stay for tourists who want to spend a day or two wandering around Taal, the Heritage Town.

La Virginia (Brgy. Manggahan, Mataasnakahoy)
La Virginia Leisure Park and Amusement resort is probably one of the most popular Batangas resorts. This resort screams of random features from superhero statues to giant animal figures and many more. Your kids will definitely have the best time here. Plus, an overlooking view of Taal Lake and the volcano island will guarantee you of the perfect selfie background.
P.S. Don’t forget to ride the zipline!

Casa Corazon (Boundary of Lemery and Calaca)
You will have an overlooking view of the beach from where Casa Corazon is located. This resort, they claim, is one of it’s kind because of all the resorts in Batangas, this is the only one which has a motorcycle and vintage car museum in it. Tho owner has a very impressive collection of motorcycles which left us in awe.

Shercon Resort and Ecology Park (Bo. San Sebastian, Mataasnakahoy)
Can you count now how many resorts give you a generous view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano? There are many of them actually and we have just started counting. Adding to the list is Shercon Resort and Ecology Park which is a popular events place (for weddings and team-buildings in particular). If you want to be surrounded by the goodness of nature and have fun at the same time with your favorite company, this resort is where you should be at.

Cintai Corito’s Garden, (Brgy. Malabanan, Balete)
If you are not yet convinced that Batangas boasts of many world-class destinations, then probably a visit to Cintai – Corito’s Garden will alter your perception. We tagged the resort as “Bali in Balete” because it will remind you so much of Bali, Indonesia (on wishful thinking, perhaps a passage to a secluded beach would authenticate this tag). Structures big and small depict a strong influence of Indonesian architecture.

La Leona Resort (Brgy. Sampaguita, Lipa City)
Most of the time, we look for a resort where we can maximize our budget and squeeze in the rest of the gang to a day tour or overnight accommodation. That you can do in La Leona Resort. No matter how big or small your barkada is, there’s a room where you can fit in at very affordable rates. Although it’s located in Lipa City, you will be far from the busy streets of the city proper yet still have an easy access to where the resort is situated.

Residencia de Riego (Muzon II, Alitagtag)
Located in a semi-secluded area in the town of Alitagtag, Residencia de Riego has gained popularity since it started its operations a couple of years back. If you’re a fan of swimming pool with logic lights, they’ve got that there. And if partying by the pool is your kind of fun, wait until the night sets in and a band will play your song requests which you can hear all over the resort.

Villa Crisanta Garden Resort (Brgy. Sta Cruz, Rosario)
Have you ever dreamed how it’s like to own a huge piece of land where you can always spend your vacation? Well, you won’t be getting closer to owning Villa Crisanta (unless you can afford and the current owners would give you the chance to!) but good news is, you can always have your vacation there anytime you want. Villa Crisanta has that rustic beauty enough to make you feel like a haciendero/haciendera for a day.
