Brett and Nadine planned an out of town treat for auntie Mema and tita Edith while they were in Manila. Came Ate Lisas suggestion of checking out the Estrellas de Mendoza Playa resort in Batangas. Together with ate Lisa and kuya Ed, ate Roselyns family, Nadine and Bretts family, we travelled one weekend to Laiya Batangas.
Drive to Laiya Batangas will take two and a half to three hours from Manila. Having Arron around and the scenery along the way, made us forget of the long ride.
A grandiose skycraper in the midst of nature, the gigantic infinity pool, the italian inspired cabanas distinct Estrellas de Mendoza from the other resort in the area. Where else to go, surrounded by nature, one side of the building is facing the sea and on the other side , the view of the mountains and green trees of the town is as marvelous as the ocean view too.
Aside from the breathtaking view, there are other activities to enjoy while you are in the resort. Water activities like snorkeling, diving, or rent and ride on a boat, there are small islands that you can look at or you can simply relax in their enormous infinity pool.
Food is great. we got to try most of the filipino dishes they serve in the hotel. Even for our afternoon snacks, we were served with pansit, maja blanca and other yummy kakanins. The owners took time to join our group too.
My aunties dipped in the pool. The kids too..and they had fun playing in the water. We left the resort early evening. Such an enjoyable treat for the balikbayans and we gave thanks to the resort owners for the accommodation
. Wonderful people and wonderful place.
