Batangas Province hotels & places to stay

This spontaneous trip to Batangas was indeed a great escape from the urban life. The Farm is located at Lipa. It was clearly a short drive from Manila but getting inside is like being in an alternate universe where birds are chirping, peacocks are walking around, and green is the dominant color. We arrived earlier than the check-in time and we huddled at the Alive! Restaurant for lunch. They serve the "good" in the food. The menu is mainly comprised of vegan recipes yet the taste is satisfying, it will make you forget about meat. It's the only restaurant inside The Farm and there are no nearby restaurants in the area. Price is actually steep but ingredients are guaranteed freshly-picked. I appreciated that the staff are courteous and friendly despite the slow pacing of service. Our stay includes a free afternoon snack and breakfast. The Farm also offers detox packages depending on personal needs.

This is a must-visit resort in Mabini, Batangas. Although a bit pricey compared to other resorts in the area, every cent is worth it. The building, including the rooms, are well-maintained and offers picturesque views of the ocean. The resort has great spots where you can take instagrammable pictures and I especially love the various furniture pieces that accents every room. They also offer a lot of free activities to keep you busy during your stay such as snorkeling, kayaking, karaoke, movie nights, table tennis, board games, etc. <3 The only downside here is the food, which was a bit pricey and not all that remarkable. Some common bathroom fixings need a little bit of polishing and need a little maintenance, especially those near the pool area. Other than this, the resort is a good place to stay. :)

As Ive thought that I already seen the best, I was wrong. We dont need to go too far as the Paradise is just around somewhere in Nasugbu, Batangas. Everything's perfect, huge pool, clean beach, new facilities, majestic views!!! Its like were in a place where happiness never ends!!! But I do agree with the others regarding the service in restaurant, particularly in Lagoa. The price of the food doesnt bother us, it's the service, where we need to wait an hour before the food arrives. We are already planning a next trip, this time a mininum of 5 nights/6 days/100%FUN!!!

Pros: -No internet! Im thankful for not having internet in our rooms, we were able to bond as a family -the foods are awesome. Terraza serves authentic bulalo (1 of the reasons why i love going to tagaytay and batangas) and lomi :) - your people are really nice and very accommodating, even those who are just cleaning the room are friendly. Kudos. Also please tell your kitchen staff, keep cooking awesome cuisine + your coffee are perfect in any time of the day. -your facilities are kid friendly, since i have a 4 yr old kid, and we had a great time. Cons: -microwave -my sisters room got a squicky bed (malvar 401) and the toilet needs to be checked. -very weak signal if you’ll use your mobile data (if you are situated on the lower floor of the building) But nonetheless we loved the experience and we are looking forward booking to your resort. Thank you.

8/10 Stars overall. We just got home from a nice 2 night stay at the Matabungkay Beach Hotel in Lian, Batangas. The hotel itself is quite old but fairly maintained. But what really gave us a pleasant stay were the staffs. They were polite and proactive. Service was quick although given that we went during off peak season. You can get a 60 minute massage for Php600. The spa itself is quite old and has that smell when a place has not been used for some time. Massage was ok, nothing special. The food was ok but a little pricey. You have food options outside the resort which is good. They have 3 pools, 2 of which can be enjoyed by kids. Clean and well maintained. Not sure though how it would look like during peak seasons. I am not a fan of their balsas which block the view of the beach and makes it look like a “Palaisdaan”. The beach in front of the hotel is not very suitable for swimming. Although you can walk for 10 minutes where there is a good spot for swimming.

It was an anniversary celebration to remember. My boyfriend and I recently celebrated our 4th anniversary in Seas Spring Resort in Mabini, Batangas. To be honest I didnt expect too much from this trip since we're never really used to celebrations like this. But Seas Spring made it extra special for us. When they knew that we were actually celebrating our anniversary, we were immediately greeted (with big smiles) by their reception staff, was assisted properly to our room and was informed of all the things we need to know around the whole resort. They managed to set up a dinner table with candle lights on our room's veranda (overlooking the beautiful and calm Batangas bay) and brought in our requested meals. They even set up the bed with flowers, well the whole place was almost filled with flower petals. Ate Rina and Thalia made all these possible. They were informed at 3pm and was able to deliver at 5:30pm. Kudos for your extra mile service. I must say their staff are very friendl

Cintai - Corito's Garden is a welcome change to the beaches and dive spots of Batangas province. A mere hour and a half drive from Manila through the well-maintained SLEX and STAR Tollways, visitors are transported to a garden oasis inspired by the architecture of Bali. There are 18 villas inside the 5-hectare property. The villas are classified into Terrace (good for 4 pax), Garden (good for 6 pax), and Executive (up to 8 pax). There are 4 swimming pools plus two pavilions that cater to events such as weddings. Every corner of the property is picture-perfect while exotic animals roam freely around the compound. There are peacocks, geese, and even a pony. Breakfast comes with the room while the lunch/dinner buffet costs P500/pax. Each cluster of villas are assigned a butler and Dina (the one assigned to our room) was efficient in handling our concerns and requests (like having the breakfast served in our villa's terrace). Room rates are a bit high compared to other resorts in Batangas. Since this property is located on a rolling terrain, I don't think it is an ideal place to bring the elderly and PWDs. One has to walk several flights of stairs from the reception area down to the villas and pools. To eat lunch and dinner, visitors have to climb several flights of steep stairs to get to the pavilions serving food. Otherwise, any healthy individual will find this a good form of exercise. I would recommend Cintai if you're looking for quiet garden setting to spend the weekend close to Manila.

We stayed at the Peak, the building is new. I love our room, (the loft), its so spacious for the 3 of us, it has 2 bathrooms, receiving area with tv and bedroom with tv, we want to stay in the room the whole time! 😂 I love the customer service, everyone is so helpful, we were able to attend the mass at the chapel, swim in the indoor pool. It was raining the next day so nobodys using the outdoor swimming pool. I love the lake, the sports facilities and the playground. We were just a bit sad about the mini golf, it looked nice but was not maintained properly, I love the shuttle service inside, its fast, maybe because there are few guests at that time. Overall, I love the place because its big but quiet and lots to do for my 5-year old son. The downside? Its harder to reach because of the closure of the road from tagaytay, you have to take the talisay-tanauan road in batangas so it seemed isolated from the city and there is a building construction near the peak.

Had a nice stay at Canyon Cove, my 4 year old niece had lots of fun in their huge kiddie pools. The beach unlike others in Batangas, has soft sand that's also safe for kids. The rooms are also spacious and has a day bed where the kids can stay. Food is value for money but only has the selection of Max's restaurant. The only downside we encountered in the resort is that they ran out of towels as the hotel is fully booked, and it takes an hour to replenish.

eagle point is a 40 hectre resort located in an isolated portion of anilao in batangas. the resort is a bit of a journey from mabini and more so from batangas city but well worth the trip. the services is five star with a very personal touch. it was very quite during our 3 day tuesday to friday stay but i was impressed with the professionalism of the staff. im not a diver so i wont comment on this aspect of the resort and it is marketed as a diving resort. just went for a relaxation\romantic stay. not a good beach but good swiming and good snoreling at the resort is available. the 'dont bring in outside food or beverages' is not enforced and the premium price they charge warrants bringing in what you may want to consume in your room. very good value for the money and an excellent resort.

We really enjoyed our 2-night stay at Palm Resort. We would definitely recommend this place to other friends traveling to Batangas. The place is indeed secluded from other resorts since you’ll have to go through a hill before you get to the resort. It’ll be hard for you to commute to this place so you have to bring a car for you to get to Palm Beach. (+) - The food was great; it was buffet-style from breakfast, lunch, PM snacks to dinner. You won’t be hungry at all! - The service was very fast and efficient. The staff would always greet you whenever you pass by them and they were very eager to help you. We were able to talk with the manager as well. He was very accommodating! - We enjoyed the pool at the day trip area where there was a big slide and it was deep compared to the other one near the dining pavilion. Both were infinity pools so you would definitely enjoy the view of the beach. Perfect for a photo op! - Check in was very fast as well. We didn’t have a hard time at all. We arrived around 1pm and stayed at the cabana to wait for our check in. (BONUS: When we arrived at our cabana, we decided to walk around the beach. To our surprise, a family of dolphins decided to greet us! It was wonderful) - We got a room at Casa Alba for 5 people. It was indeed spacious for us and it’s clean. (-) - The only let down for us was the beach front. Although we enjoyed it because we went kayak-ing. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to try the other water activities. Anyway, it was rocky (no joke). Every where you go, the shore is really rocky. - There’s no signal for Globe & Smart. It was difficult for us to get a signal. (My brother who works as an engineer suggested that the resort should get a booster from Globe/Smart) - Another thing is, the wifi’s signal was weak as well. Luckily, it was working pretty well at our room and in selected areas in the resort. A few things to improve on but overall, our stay was lovely! Would definitely go back to this place in the near

the room is quite big, clean washroom and good amenities, its just that the wifi connection is not working inside the rooms, but over all its a great hotel than any other hotel in batangas, breakfast buffet is what i also look forward, very delicious. the room is very comfortable and relaxing. I can say that its worth the price, very amazing view from our room, its a perfect getaway for a vacation. you can do many things there like swim, go to the beach, they also have a small business center where you can surf the internet, they also have a movie room where you can watch movies. you'll definitely enjoy your stay and you'll end up wanting to go back. its a very great experience and i will definitely go back here.

I was looking for a quiet beach resort (not brimming with tourists) that had quality facilities at a reasonable price. Aiyanar fulfilled almost everything I was searching for - modern yet tasteful resort design, gorgeous swimming pool and lounging areas, good internet connection, quiet location, very friendly and accommodating staff, and I booked it via a great Agoda bargain. Only thing that needs improvement would be the food - for the price point it asks for, they need to elevate the taste and quality. Other than that, this will be one of my top picks on my next visit to Anilao, Batangas.

We really had a pleasant stay here. Booked 2 nights in one of their standard rooms. When we got there, I requested for a room at the ground floor because my husband has a back injury and was advised by the doctor to refrain from climbing the stairs. The staff immediately offered a free room upgrade to a deluxe suite to be able to accommodate my request for a room at the ground floor. Check in was a breeze. Thanked them for the nice gesture. When we got to our suite, we were delightfully surprised! The room was spacious, tidy and luxurious. It was also close to the children's playground and pool where my toddler had a lot of fun. the hotel had a lot of sprawling greens so the place was relaxing and provided a good ambiance for unwinding. We really had a memorable weekend there. Though it wasn't located right next to a mall, it was an easy 20 minute drive to SM Lipa so we had access to supplies we needed during our brief vacay in batangas. I'd definitely recommend it to friends and other travelers.

So me and my girlfriend went here for her birthday, with ofcourse our baby dog. Booking online, payment and confirmation is very easy, fast and convenient. We didn’t have any hard time finding the resort though it was our first time to go to Batangas since the resort entrance is just right along the main road. We just followed the gps from our phone from manila to the resort. When we arrived there like around 12:30pm, Ms Jane who is in the reception counter was very friendly, helpful and very professional. They offered us welcome drinks which was a tamarin juice. It was so refreshing After driving for like 4hrs. The resort is super pet friendly. Supposedly 2pm is the check in time but Ms Jane was so courteous that she offered us to check in that early because the room has been cleaned already. Food was great! Free dinner,breakfast and lunch (mini buffet). Room was far beyond our expectation. Beach is the bonus part.Will definitely be back! I love the staffs there! Worth your money

came here yesterday, I was very surprised and in Awe of what I’ve seen, my expectations were very low and minimal due to bad reviews. and I am so amazed of the staff, very courteous and accomodating, the room was so clean and big, I love the cabana. very relaxing and perfect place for soundtripping and drinking spot with friends. the food is so fab. 1710 worth of food is all worthit, its a buffet style of lunch merienda dinner and breakfast, so don’t expect that its free. after all you are buying the quality of food. so for me it is perfect. the only con I noticed is the sand and too many rocks in the beach area, but its batangas beach not boracay. so its ok. good job! hope to be here anytime soon. good job team.

Quiet clean great staff. Small but cool pool and jacuzzi. Great front desk staff all friendly and easy to deal with. Servers Jun Girlie and Flexie provide service at par with five star hotels. Food expensive but tastes good. Try the fish and chips and Big John Pizza. Food costs around 350 pesos up per person. No other food options around. Nice beach is a few minutes walk away. A bit littered and lots of rafts and vendors. No rocks pure sand beach. More than what i expected. Water not super clear typical batangas beach.Room is clean has bidet hot shower, firm mattress had great nights sleep. Split type ac, cable cignal hd with numerous channels. only downside was a tiny stain in the middle of the bed sheet upon check in but was replaced with crisp clean sheets upon request. No wifi in the room only in resto intermittent. Dont need much wifi in the room cable and conversation was good enuf for us. Public beach so dont expect boracay. Really cool resort for its price very well maintained. Has board games. Enjoyed jenga and scrabble. Has magazines, books. Even the pool guy is nice. Will definitely come back. Great resort!!!

This hotel is in a very nice enclave in Batangas City few blocks from rhe ocean. The hotel doesn't look dated but more modern and well maintained, kudos to Mr Gutierrez the owner. The rooms were well maintained and large and has mini fridge and working A/C. The free breakfast was fine but as usual anytime there is a free buffet style breakfast then there will be few choices of typical inexpensive dishes. The pool was nice qith an attached kiddie pool. If tou want to eat local dishes then there is an abundance of good restaurants outside the hotels and also SM mall is close enough to walk and a Catholic church is next to it. The staff were very friendly and and helpful. It will be in my future place to return to. Since it is accessible from the Star toll way Batangas City exit.

this is a great hotel if you are traveling to lipa city for any reason. the hotel is located downtown, right next to robinson's mall. sm city lipa and the central bayan of lipa are only a few minutes away, either walking or by tricycle/jeep. the hotel is very comfortable with very helpful and friendly staff. the bus/van terminal across the street and the jeep station at robinson's makes transportation to laguna, all of batangas, and manila very accessible. great hotel.

we had a great stay at this hotel, good value for the money and i would like to stay again if i returned to lipa. however, i will not return to lipa city or batangas because as a caucasian i was stared at by everyone and did not feel safe. i did not see any other tourists and i felt like a target. if u must visit lipa you should arrange for a driver to take you to tagaylay, a moubtaintop town where u can view taal volcano on its island. beautiful highlight of my visit.

We've been through almost all the exclusive and 4-5 start resorts in Nasubu and Laiya Batangas and it was our first time trying Anilao. I booked a day before and this was the only resort available. I was skeptical at first because its expensive and it seems like we have not much to do if it rains (given that its rainy season) and there's quite a lot of negative comments. However I still pushed through as I have no other better choice. Food - food is actually cheap. They have family serving that goes from 300-400 pesos for 2-3pax. The individual servings are a bit expensive 200-300 pesos. Taste is ok. I do not expect hotel quality food from beach resorts anyway. But breakfast is superb. They served wide variety of buffet selections including pancakes, cereals, pastries, fruits apart from regular bacon, hotdog, ham, danggit and eggs. They should have provided lunch and dinner buffet as well. Room - room is clean, modern, sea view, everything is working except that there is no ref and bath tub. Given that the room is expensive, they even charge 2200 for an extra person (10yo kid) so in total that's 13k of accommodation. Facilities - architectural design is superb even if the place is small. You can take nice shots in most areas of the resort. You have fantastic views everywhere. Pools are nice especially at night. Just be careful on stairs and some floorings because most of them are slippery. My kid slipped 4x on different areas. Activities - we love snorkeling and this is the best place to be in all areas of Batangas. Right down the resort there is a pantoon (floating area) where you can put your things and just jump onto the water and free dive and snorkel. Most of the corals are dead but you can still see a lot of different kids of fishes nearby. They also lend life vest and kayaks for free and other gears at a fee for the whole day. Even if it rains, snorkeling is still nice. You can also do free dive if you swim a few meters farther. Staff - i now under

Pros: The staff was very friendly! They did their best in accommodating us. And the complimentary plated breakfast for two was a lot. There was adobo, fish fillet, egg, bread, rice, and fruit. Cons: At first, they gave us room 209 but we asked for a non-smoking room so they gave us room 207 instead. However, room 207 still smelled like smoke. Also, they gave us three wi-fi username and password cards and NONE of those worked. Also, the sheets didn't smell fresh. So this hotel could improve on some stuff because I think I'd rather try the hotel near Santomas Suites next time I'm in Santo Tomas, Batangas.

The resort, country club, and restaurants is a bit on the expensive side but my friends and I thought it was worth it. Even on peak season, the staff were friendly and the service as fast as they can manage. The condo we stayed at -Jacana - has space that would comfortably hold four adults. However, a few things caused irritation like light switches that fell apart and a lumpy mattress. Best to coordinate with booking agents and the caretaker of the condo for your group’s needs like enough blankets.
