Malvar Shrine or Miguel Malvar Historical Landmark is under the National Historical Commission; it showcases General Miguel Malvar’s life as depicted on the paintings, photos, and documents on display. Our visit there allowed us to get to know Gen. Malvar better, how he contributed to the Philippine History, and why the shrine is in Sto. Tomas and not in Malvar.

We stayed there for more than half an hour and after the interview with Mrs. Nelly Galicia the shrine’s OIC, we headed back to Lipa.

It’s sizzling sisig for lunch at SM City Lipa Foodcourt. The best part of the lunch? Spending GCs.

What’s next after lunch?

All of us where thinking what our next destination would be as we still have the rest of the afternoon to spend.

And then Reinier thought of this resort in Laiya called Llamar Beach Resort which he can contact. After a few minutes of debate, we all agreed to go to San Juan. We were fortunate because the owner of that resort gave us the opportunity visit their place.

From SM City Lipa, we rode Indai again and headed back on the road. It was an awesome road trip. We traced the roads with music playing inside the car, laughters filling in between gaps, and some exchanging of “banat” lines. We shared everything we could enjoy while we were on our way.

Fom Lipa City, we passed the roads of Padre Garcia and Rosario before reaching San Juan. As we go on our way, I enjoyed looking on both sides of the road because of the trees and rice fields that these towns have. Well I’m sure the whole team loved it, too.

It was about 1 hour and a half drive to Llamar Beach Resort. Though the weather was gloomy that day, the team still managed to enjoy our almost 3 hours stay in that humble yet comfortable resort. We took pictures of the resort to be used for the feature article.

Sad thing for me and Miss D, we weren’t able to swim (unpreparedness and girl thing here) unlike the boys who raced towards the beach for a good swim. However, we did enjoy eating and posing for the camera. Click.

At exactly 5PM we left the resort and headed back to Lipa.

We all went home happy and contented. Our road trip was great one. The day was filled with learning, relaxing, and strengthening a bond worth keeping.

P.S.
Thank you Aris, that road trip will not be possible (or comfortable) without your Indai.

3. Top Three Destinations You Would Pick for a Batangas Road Trip

July 21, the Communications and the Multimedia Teams of WOWBatangas, were in search for something refreshing (it was a frackin’ hot day) and we said, “Ta mag-Laiya na lang kaya?”

See, Laiya is a less-than-two-hour-drive from Lipa and Reinier knows a contact person to this particular beach resort there so “Why not?”, we told ourselves. We’ve been from Malvar Shrine, Santo Tomas after all, and we thought maximizing the fun of the day would just be logical thanks to Aris’ new found love, Indai.

And so we went. We boarded “Indai” (Aris’ car) and laughed and talked and laughed (again) our way to Laiya, San Juan.

And so we arrived.

We were welcomed by Orvil Impleo, an 18-year-old gentleman who also takes care of the place. He toured us on what I believe is one of the most comfortable beach resorts in Laiya.

Enter Llamar Beach Resort.

The resort’s name, as we have found out, is a combination of the surnames of the owners — Elsie Llana and Manny Marquez.

The Beach Front

Clear waters, fine sand, a view of Mount Daguldol and friends to share it with make the experience ethereal. Plus, some locals roam around to sell sea stuffs; I mean, we never bought one but the Daddy Octopus was a sight to behold indeed.

The Rooms

Orvil also toured us to all of the rooms. They have cottages, cabanas, apartments and dormitories which all have decent prices. The rooms range from 2-3 to 14-16 persons with prices that range from Php 1,500 to Php 9,000 — good for a gang of all sizes (and of all budgets) indeed.

All these accommodations are air-conditioned, double-size beds, toilet and bathroom. Amenities vary depending on the type of room you will reserve. Check-in time is 2:00PM, check-out time is 12:00 noon the following day.

Llamar’s Other Offerings

LLAMAR also has a pavilion that is located near the beachfront area, it is equipped with a bar and restaurant complete with tables and chairs that can accommodate up to 80 persons. The area ,too, can be reserved for private functions and events.

Affordable meals and drinks are available at the restaurant.

The resort may also do arrangements for banana boat rides, videoke machines for rent, jet skis, and other recreational activities.

We did enjoy the experience and we have copious amounts of jump shot photos to prove it.

“Why go to the beach when it’s the middle of the year?” you might ask.

It’s not that cold, my dear. Plus, the rates are down.

And more importantly, there’s no crowd of strangers. The company of your friends and the exclusivity of the surreal waters are truly felt.

As promised, this is our separate post for the beach house we stayed at for the WOWBatangas Team Building last week, May 16 in Lobo. This is Butterfly Beach House.

The Butterfly Beach House is owned by Ms. Mary Ann Luz, Renz’s (our WOWBatangas Tours Marketing Associate) tita. We were able to avail of the free accommodation because of him and Ms. Mary Ann’s generosity.

It used to be a private beach house until Ms. Mary Ann decided to open the modest facilities to the public.

Butterfly Beach House Accommodations

Ventilated rooms furnished with fans (two rooms). Available for each rooms are beddings, toiletries, water heater, and WiFi connection (printing and mailing services are also provided).

The rooms cost from Php3000.00 to Php4000.00 overnight, maximum of four persons to a room. Rate for additional persons is Php250.00 each.

The open huts cost Php1,500 overnight for three people. Additional persons @ Php250.00 each.

Beach tables and tents cost Php 250.00 per day for four people, Php150.00 for additional persons

Other Amenities and Services

When you head to a beach, one of the things you would take time to do is to collect shells and stones, bring them home and instantly, you have souvenirs of your trip! In Butterfly Beach House, you will be provided with baskets for stone/shell collection. With the serenity of the Lobo beach, meditating or reading a good book are two more activities you can do here. They have a meditation and library corner by the way.

Free coffee and continental breakfast are served for the guests. And if you’re into organic diet, meals of such kind are also available upon request.

If you don’t know how to cook or you don’t feel like cooking, you can actually ask the staff to do the cooking for you. Each meal per person will be charged at Php50.00. For group of 15, a meal is charged at Php300.00.

You can also pay for laundry and grocery service. So tinatamad ka? Haha.

How to get to Butterfly Beach House

Via Batangas City At the STAR Toll-way take the Batangas City exit. Right after the tollbooth plaza take a left turn towards Batangas City. At this point follow the signboard that leads to Ponte Fino Hotel. After hitting the Ponte Fino Hotel just go straight and follow the main road. When you see the Fortune Cement Plant on your left side stay on the right. Taking the left road will lead to Taysan.

After taking a right just follow the road, and you are around 20 kilometers away from Lobo. You will hit a scenic winding narrow road – with approximately 183 curves. Upon reaching the town proper of Lobo, take the road leading to Fabrica.

You will go past the Rural Bank of Lobo (ATM machine available), the Lobo Municipal Hospital and then you see a chapel on the right, on the left you will see signs that say Gertel Beach. Take dirtroad and go all the way past Gertel Beach. If the road is blocked by a kawayan post, you may let yourself in and put the post down later. Go straight until you see an aqua colored fence with red bouganvillas and a white gate with BUTTERFLIES.

Here’s the backstory from Ms. Mary Ann Luz on how she acquired the property.

With no street number and no street name, I thought it practical to make the address Butterfly, Fabrica, Lobo.

Someone said it was about time I bought property there. As fate would
have it, Dra. Lita Sanchez took me to Fabrica. At that time, the only thing standing was the gate with butterflies and the perimeter walls and the owner’s name Felicitas Ginhawa. I liked the owner’s name and the butterflies.

Little did they know that Lemery also cradles a resort which will give them the kind of recreation and relaxation they want to have. La Sueña Brisa Beach Resort and Events Place is along the shoreline of Lemery beach. I remember during high school, after every school year has ended, we would head to Lemery beach where summer memories abound.

La Sueña Brisa boasts of resort features which you could find in other resorts around the province yet you would only know what’s special about this place once you’ve landed your feet on it.

Probably, La Sueña Brisa’s main attraction is their infinity pool with color logic lights. Can you imagine yourself swimming on the water which gradually changes its color? Well, not literally though.

La Suena Brisa has 18 rooms and 2 Grand Villas for those who would opt an overnight stay. For day tours, they have foreshore nipa huts which would allow their guests to feel and see the beach closer. And oh, they have Cabanas, too. For small gatherings like up to 50 persons, they have The Pavillion to accommodate the guests. Special occasions and corporate events with a maximum of 200 participants can be held at the La Sueña Brisa Function Room which is equipped with essential amenities.

As an advertiser, a client, or an event partner, each of these three resorts here in the province has its own special features to offer. They are all lovely and more than that, the owners of these resorts have genuine kindness which makes visiting these destinations a very rewarding experience.

You may treat this as the part two of the Best Resorts in Batangas entry the other day. Then again, we only like to show our appreciation to these three summer destinations.

Shercon Resort and Ecology Park

They are one of our valued supporters here in WOWBatangas.com. Shercon Resort and Ecology Park boasts of a great view of the Taal Lake as well. I’ve seen the expansion, the growth of Shercon Resort throughout the years and with that comes the realization that more and more people are having the best of time in Shercon Resort and Ecology Park.

They also have the infinity pool which most resort visitors are actually attracted to nowadays. I personally like the Club Manuel Cabins. They’re simple and comfy yet very stylish.

Shercon Resort and Ecology Park has child-friendly facilities like the playground and the ecology park which will allow your kids to have unlimited fun. And what do you get in return? Priceless moments just seeing your kids laugh and play under the sun.

Opening this summer are almost Olympic size swimming pool, third kiddie pool, and Club Manuel Hall which can accommodate 200-300 guests overlooking Taal Lake.

La Leona Resort, Lipa City

The last time we went there, it was like we have the whole world as our concert stage. Haha. La Leona has this certain relaxation vibe which will hit you and allow you to just bum around and have a good time. Their La Leona Cabana can accommodate a maximum of 20 people so if you have a large group of friends, this one will suit you.

Abby’s Garden Resort, Taal

Not a lot of people know that Taal also has quite a number of recreation sites and among these are swimming pool resorts. Abby’s Garden Resort is one of the resorts you can try visiting this summer. Also, if you live in Taal or on a nearby area, catch Abby’s Garden Resort’s summer activities.

One, it’s also sharing the lovely view of Taal Lake and the Mt. Binintian across. Two, guests must try the food in the restaurant, particularly the Pinoy dishes.

Club Balai Isabel, Talisay

When I did the “wedding venue of the stars” article, this resort sits perfectly on the earlier part of the post as it has only been a few days ago before that article was written, when celebrity couple Kristine Hermosa and Oyo Sotto got married in Balai Isabel.

This 10-hectare resort reflects Filipino hospitality matching the global standard in the industry. People might think that this is owned by a foreign business tycoon when in fact, this is owned by a family who hailed from this side of Batangas.

It’s among the numerous resorts in Batangas which shares the captivating view of Taal Lake and the ‘often mistaken to be the Taal Volcano’, Mt. Binintian. Club Balai Isabel’s infinity pool is one of the largest swimming pools I’ve seen so far. Just like any other resorts, Club Balai Isabel has a lot of fun activities available for every guest’s satisfaction. (Photo Credit: www.tripadvisor.com)

La Sueña Brisa Beach Resort & Events Place, Lemery

This one you should check out if you’re heading to Lemery. La Sueña Brisa is located along the shoreline of the Lemery beach. The resort boasts of its two main attractions – the infinity pool with color logic lights and the butterfly garden which adds the ‘close to nature’ experience.

3. Abby’s Garden Resort: Another Installment to Taal’s Must-Visit Places

We were invited by the Talisay Tourism Office, headed by Ms. Len Barba, to cover some of the events that occurred two days before the town fiesta, Feb. 10. Because it’s the team’s first visit to Talisay (except for Alva who had been there for painting commitment and trekking), we got enthused with the fact of discovering something new.

Fortunately, a resort expressed willingness to accommodate us. Villa Khristalene, one of the few resorts along the lakeshore line of Talisay, is characterized by an underrated beauty and a homey vibe enough to make you extend for another day or two.

Khristalene and the Other Names Behind the Villa

Villa Khristalene is a property owned by a Kapampangan, Ding Pangilinan. Named after his late daughter, Khristalene, the resort is merely like a residential compound but because of the attraction screaming across the vast body of water, it then became one of the most frequented resorts for local and foreign tourists in Talisay.

According to the resort manager, Ms. Quinnie Gementiza, the owner is very “humble and napaka-bait”. He wants the resort employees to treat Villa Khristalene as their own home.

The resort’s operations manager, Mr. Jun Rivera, shared that Sir Ding himself plotted the design of the resort and personally managed the over-all architecture of Villa Khristalene.

Resort Facilities and Features

The resort has a total of 24 rooms categorized as suite, bi-level economy, single/family economy, and single/family deluxe. Villa Khristalene Suite, the one with the highest rate is available at P8,600, with a capacity of 6 persons. All the single economy rooms enough to accommodate at least 2 persons are priced at P2,500. All rooms are fully air-conditioned and furnished with television, toilet and bathroom.

Villa Kristalene is open for various functions such as wedding receptions, company outings, business meetings, corporate seminars, and parties. Guests may make use of the Gazebo, the Viewdeck, the Small Pavilion, and the tables and huts for day tour.

Aside from plainly marveling at the exquisiteness of the Taal Lake, guests can also enjoy the swimming pool or indulge themselves with other activities like playing billiards, singing on the videoke, or fishing for tilapias from the cage and ask the cook to have it prepared for your lunch or dinner. Those who would like to reach Taal Volcano, you can ask the management to take you on a boat ride across the lake. Sounds exciting huh?

Why Choose Villa Khristalene?

Foreigners start to rush to various resorts in Talisay from February to June, which the management also considers as peak season. October is also considered a busy month for Villa Khristalene with companies and organizations setting their seminars, team-building activities, and outings during this time of the year.

According to Sir Jun, Villa Khristalene is like a “one-stop-shop” resort where everything you need for your stay is all here. They believe this is one of their advantages among their neighboring competitors.

Waiting for a Comeback

Sir Jun and Ms. Quinnie asked us to stay for another day, but we can’t. So we promised to come back some other time. It was such a nice stay we had there. We enjoyed the food, the view, the accommodation, the management’s hospitality, the massage chairs, and the billiard game we had!

Villa Khristalene, see you again!
