			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was early in the morning of July 21 that our team (the Communications Team: Miss D, Joel, me) and the Multimedia Team (Sir Alva, Reinier, Aris, Paul) met for our visit to Malvar Shrine located in Sto. Tomas.</p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/WOWBatangas-Team-visits-Miguel-Malvar-Historical-Landmark.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/WOWBatangas-Team-visits-Miguel-Malvar-Historical-Landmark-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14569" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/features/people/miguel-malvar-the-story-of-the-great-batangueno-general/">Malvar Shrine or Miguel Malvar Historical Landmark</a></strong> is under the National Historical Commission; it showcases <strong>General Miguel Malvar’s life</strong> 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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/52.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/52-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14558" /></a>It&#8217;s sizzling sisig for lunch at <strong>SM City Lipa Foodcourt</strong>. The best part of the lunch? Spending GCs. <img src='http://wowbatangas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What’s next after lunch? </p>
<p>All of us where thinking what our next destination would be as we still have the rest of the afternoon to spend.</p>
<p>And then Reinier thought of this <strong>resort in Laiya called <a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/resorts/beach-resorts/discovering-llamar-beach-resort-in-laiya-san-juan/">Llamar Beach Resort</a></strong> 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. </p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/72.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/72-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14560" /></a>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 &#8220;banat&#8221; lines. We shared everything we could enjoy while we were on our way.</p>
<p>Fom Lipa City, we passed the roads of <strong>Padre Garcia</strong> and <strong>Rosario</strong> 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. </p>
<p>It was about 1 hour and a half drive to <strong>Llamar Beach Resort</strong>. 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.</p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/14.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/14-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14542" /></a>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. <img src='http://wowbatangas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>At exactly 5PM we left the resort and headed back to Lipa.</p>
<p>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>
<p>P.S.<br />
Thank you Aris, that road trip will not be possible (or comfortable) without your Indai. <img src='http://wowbatangas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Laiya, Batangas</strong> has always been a lure for beach- goers here in the Philippines. With its fine sand, and of course, Batangueno hospitality, one can’t go wrong with the offerings of Laiya.</p>
<p>July 21, the Communications and the Multimedia Teams of <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/">WOWBatangas</a></strong>, were in search for something refreshing (it was a frackin’ hot day) and we said, “Ta mag-Laiya na lang kaya?” </p>
<p>See, Laiya is a less-than-two-hour-drive from Lipa and Reinier knows a contact person to this particular beach resort there so &#8220;Why not?&#8221;, we told ourselves. We&#8217;ve been from <a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/features/people/miguel-malvar-the-story-of-the-great-batangueno-general/">Malvar Shrine</a>, Santo Tomas after all, and we thought maximizing the fun of the day would just be logical thanks to Aris&#8217; new found love, Indai.</p>
<p>And so we went. We boarded “<em>Indai</em>” (Aris’ car) and laughed and talked and laughed (again) <a href="//">our way to Laiya, San Juan.</a></p>
<p>And so we arrived.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Enter <strong>Llamar Beach Resort</strong>.  </p>
<p>The resort’s name, as we have found out, is a combination of the surnames of the owners — <strong>Elsie Llana and Manny Marquez</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The Beach Front</strong></p>
<p>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. </p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/IMG_1086.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/IMG_1086-300x200.jpg" alt="Llamar Beach Resort in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14583" /></a><strong>The Rooms</strong></p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>All these <strong>accommodations</strong> are air-conditioned, double-size beds, toilet and bathroom. <strong>Amenities</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Llamar&#8217;s Other Offerings</strong></p>
<p>LLAMAR also has a <strong>pavilion</strong> that is located near the beachfront area, it is equipped with a <strong>bar and restaurant</strong> complete with tables and chairs that can accommodate up to 80 persons. The area ,too, can be reserved for private functions and events.</p>
<p>Affordable meals and drinks are available at the restaurant.</p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/How-to-go-to-Llamar-Beach-Resort-in-Laiya-San-Juan-Batangas.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/How-to-go-to-Llamar-Beach-Resort-in-Laiya-San-Juan-Batangas-171x300.jpg" alt="" width="171" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14544" /></a>The resort may also do arrangements for banana boat rides, videoke machines for rent, jet skis, and other <strong>recreational activities</strong>.</p>
<p>We did enjoy the experience and we have copious amounts of jump shot photos to prove it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why go to the beach when it&#8217;s the middle of the year?&#8221; you might ask. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that cold, my dear. Plus, the <strong>rates are down</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you been to <strong>Club Balai Isabel</strong>? Aside from being one of the much-coveted <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/features/others/will-batangas-soon-be-the-wedding-venue-of-the-stars/">wedding destinations in Batangas</a></strong>, Club Balai Isabel is also one of the best recreation destinations for you and your favorite people.</p>
<p>The team was able to go there last February 8 for the <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/towns-and-cities/talisay/karakol-festival-2011-video-talisay-batangas/">Karakol Festival</a></strong>. We may not be able to spend the rest of the day there but roaming around the area for an hour to see the facilities and the resort features was one elating experience.</p>
<p>Check out our photos below from our first <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/features/fiestas/our-first-talisay-adventure-pre-fiesta-celebration-2011/">trip to Club Balai Isabel</a></strong>. </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>About Club Balai</strong></p>

As the resort was built around a century-old mango plantation, guests are welcomed with lush greenery giving the sense of escape and serenity.</p>

<p><strong>Going green and getting well!</strong></p>
<p>With its aim to be an <strong>eco-tourism spot</strong> on the map, the resort advocates greenery and the importance of cleanliness. Guests enter a litter-free zone and recognize the sense of being one with nature and immediately instill a concern for the environment. Club Balai Isabel also takes pride in its wellness directive, having a spa hub with signature therapeutic massages. Also developing is the detoxification center and fish doctor. These will be the newest additions of the wellness center set to be completed soon.</p>
<p><strong>The Balai Experience</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/51.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/51-300x200.jpg" alt="Club Balai Isabel chapel" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-13809" /></a>Armed with an unmatched need for customer satisfaction, employees of Club Balai Isabel strive to provide excellent service to all guests. The resort is ideal for <strong>weddings and receptions</strong> and all social gatherings for friends and families. Guests are treated with an experience of solemnity and romance when they hold their events at the clubhouse Pantalan or at the mobideep pantalan which are wharfs on the Taal Lake shores.</p>
<p>Team building venues are also grabbing the attention of the corporate world. The Balikatan obstacle course offers safe and challenging activities that are surely aimed to bond and strengthen groups and organizations. Our menu selections and signature dishes such as the tawilis and the maliputo (a must-try) will entice all guests and satisfy every taste bud.</p>
<p>Club Balai Isabel continues to gain the attention of the media through events and television programs. And as the resort puts together an attractive calendar of events which will appeal to all travelers and corporate groups, Club Balai Isabel will be the charm of Batangas.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Literally. Looking for a place to stay in Lobo beach? We have the answer.</p>
<p>As promised, this is our separate post for the beach house we stayed at for the <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/towns-and-cities/lobo/wowbatangas-team-goes-to-lobo-batangas/">WOWBatangas Team Building</a></strong> last week, May 16 in Lobo. This is Butterfly Beach House.</p>
<p>The Butterfly Beach House is owned by Ms. Mary Ann Luz, Renz&#8217;s (our WOWBatangas Tours Marketing Associate) tita. We were able to avail of the free accommodation because of him and Ms. Mary Ann&#8217;s generosity. <img src='http://wowbatangas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It used to be a private beach house until Ms. Mary Ann decided to open the modest facilities to the public.</p>
<p><strong>Butterfly Beach House Accommodations</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ventilated-rooms.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ventilated-rooms-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-12408" /></a>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).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The open huts cost Php1,500 overnight for three people. Additional persons @ Php250.00 each.</p>
<p>Beach tables and tents cost Php 250.00 per day for four people, Php150.00 for additional persons</p>
<p><strong>Other Amenities and Services</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Butterfly-Beach-House-Lobo-Batangas.jpg"><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Butterfly-Beach-House-Lobo-Batangas-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12403" /></a>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.</p>
<p>Free coffee and continental breakfast are served for the guests. And if you&#8217;re into organic diet, meals of such kind are also available upon request.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know how to cook or you don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>You can also pay for laundry and grocery service. So tinatamad ka? Haha.</p>
<p><strong>How to get to Butterfly Beach House</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the backstory from Ms. Mary Ann Luz on how she acquired the property.</p>
<p><em>With no street number and no street name, I thought it practical to make the address Butterfly, Fabrica, Lobo.</p>
<p>The property is part of Gerthel Beach land holdings owned by Gerardo and Ethel Ramirez family. In the early 1970’s when I used to work at Far East Bank and Trust Company, my officemates and I spent two Holy Week breaks in that beach. We had parachutes over our heads and cots/sleeping bags.</p>
<p>The winding road to Lobo was gravel and dust at that time and it took almost three hours to travel from Batangas City.</p>
<p>My father used to run the Rural Bank of Lobo. The bank started operations there in 1962. We are to celebrate the golden anniversary of the bank 2012. The winding road is now cemented (45 minutes<br />
from Batangas City). With warm and loving hospitality of Didi and Dettie Manansala’s open invitation to sleep at their lovely home (built for them by Dettie’s son who is now a Cardiologist in Australia), I found myself embracing Lobo.</p>
<p>Someone said it was about time I bought property there. As fate would<br />
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&#8217;s name Felicitas Ginhawa. I liked the owner&#8217;s name and the butterflies.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/">Batangas</a>, with its undaunted natural beauty, remains to be among the top favorite summer destinations in the country. Tourists flock to San Juan, Calatagan, or Nasugbu, for an extreme getaway.</p>
<p>Little did they know that <strong>Lemery</strong> also cradles a resort which will give them the kind of recreation and relaxation they want to have. <strong>La Sueña Brisa Beach Resort and Events Place</strong> 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.</p>
<p>La Sueña Brisa boasts of resort features which you could find in other resorts around the province yet you would only know what&#8217;s special about this place once you&#8217;ve landed your feet on it.</p>
<p>Probably, La Sueña Brisa&#8217;s main attraction is their <strong>infinity pool with color logic lights</strong>. Can you imagine yourself swimming on the water which gradually changes its color? Well, not literally though. </p>
<p><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/La-Suena-Brisa-Resort-and-Events-Place-Lemery-Batangas3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11095" />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.</p>
<p>Speaking of events, La Sueña Brisa has an in-house catering service provided by their <strong>Bien Cocido Restaurant</strong>. Why don&#8217;t you try celebrating an important occasion at La Sueña Brisa?</p>
<p>Plus, they have a beverage store called <strong>La Cerveceria</strong> and a convenient store dubbed as <strong>La Tienda</strong>. More attractions to add are the <strong>Pajarella</strong> (aviary) and the <strong>Jardin de Mariposa</strong> (butterfly garden).</p>
<p>Enjoy your stay with fun bonding activities like singing over the videoke, spending hours on volleyball, table tennis, and billiards match. Now are you still looking for more fun?</p>
<p>You can check the rates and other resort details through their website <strong><a href="http://www.lasuenabrisaresort.com/">www.lasuenabrisaresort.com</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In gratitude of their continuous support to WOWBatangas.com, we&#8217;d like to highlight three of the best resorts here in Batangas which contributed to the growth of this website.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You may treat this as the part two of the <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/resorts/swimming-pool-resorts/best-resorts-in-batangas-you-must-visit-this-summer/">Best Resorts in Batangas</a></strong> entry the other day. Then again, we only like to show our appreciation to these three summer destinations. <img src='http://wowbatangas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Shercon-Resort-and-Ecology-Park-Mataasnakahoy1.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="187" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10878" /><strong>Shercon Resort and Ecology Park</strong></p>
<p>They are <strong>one of our valued supporters here in WOWBatangas.com</strong>. Shercon Resort and Ecology Park boasts of a great view of the Taal Lake as well. I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>They also have the infinity pool which most resort visitors are actually attracted to nowadays. I personally like the Club Manuel Cabins. They&#8217;re simple and comfy yet very stylish.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.sherconresort.com">Shercon Resort and Ecology Park</a></strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&lt;<img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/La-Leona-Resort-Lipa-City1-300x176.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="176" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10880" /><br />
<strong>La Leona Resort, Lipa City</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Get to know more about the <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/resorts/swimming-pool-resorts/la-leona-resort-lipa-city-simplicity-redefined/">accommodation and other facilities in La Leona Resort</a></strong> by clicking the link.</p>
<p><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Abbys-Garden-Resort-Taal-Batangas1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10881" /><strong>Abby&#8217;s Garden Resort, Taal</strong></p>
<p>Not a lot of people know that Taal also has quite a number of recreation sites and among these are swimming pool resorts. Abby&#8217;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&#8217;s Garden Resort&#8217;s summer activities.</p>
<p>One special feature of this resort is the technology they&#8217;re using in cleaning their <strong><a href="http://www.abbysgardenresort.com/facilities/the-swimming-pool/">swimming pool</a></strong> &#8211; a technology called Caribbean Clear.</p>
<p>Since it opened, a lot of special events were held here, oftentimes are weddings. For other celebrations and company events, you may check out <strong><a href="http://www.abbysgardenresort.com/accomodation/">Abby&#8217;s Garden Resort website</a></strong> for more details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sadly, we&#8217;ll have a rainy summer. Oh why, oh why? Due to the untamed and quite confusing climate change on earth, summer here in the Philippines could be a wet one. Tsk.</p>
<p>But there is no reason for us not to enjoy this season especially the young ones who would take a rest from school. Check the <strong>best resorts in Batangas</strong> through this list:</p>
<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Residencia-de-Riego-Alitagtag-Batangas.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10711" src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Residencia-de-Riego-Alitagtag-Batangas-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><strong>Residencia de Riego Resort, Alitagtag</strong></p>
<p>Although it would be a bit crowded on weekends, it&#8217;s still the best time of the week to visit this one-of-a-kind resort in Alitagtag. Residencia de Riego has great facilities and we&#8217;d have to give plus points on the cool vibe flourishing all over the resort. Get to enjoy the 12 color logic lights on the three swimming pools. Enjoy backstroke or freestyle as the water changes its reflection from red to violet to green and so on.</p>
<p>To learn more about what <strong>Residencia de Riego</strong> has to offer, click <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/resorts/swimming-pool-resorts/residencia-de-riego-resort-mixes-urban-entertainment-and-rural-relaxation/">resort in Alitagtag, Batangas</a></strong>.</p>

<p>When the team visited Galilee Place in Balete a year ago, (the first Galilee Place is in Brgy. San Sebastian, Mataasnakahoy) it was still under construction and whatever will rise on the location, aside from the already existing huts and rooms, were all shared to us through our interview with the resort owners.</p>
<p>Galilee Place Resort and Spa is located along the shoreline of the vast Taal Lake. Do you want a serene summer destination along a majestic natural wonder? Galilee Resort and Spa in Balete will give you the serenity and recreation your overworked body needs to have.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s the &#8216;poshness&#8217; of luxury resorts squeezed in this property. By land area, it&#8217;s not as vast as other beach resorts you frequently visit. But Villa Khristalene has something really special.</p>
<p>One, it&#8217;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. Three, it&#8217;s a pool resort, you can enjoy a swim, or try their other activities &#8211; billiards, boating, fishing, or singing out loud in their videoke room. If you want a treat for your tiring muscles, their have massage chairs there.</p>

<p><a href="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/La-Virginia-Resort-and-Hotel-Mataasnakahoy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10714" src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/La-Virginia-Resort-and-Hotel-Mataasnakahoy-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><strong>La Virginia Resort and Hotel, Mataasnakahoy</strong></p>
<p>When you get here, it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re setting foot to a couple of different resorts with the extensive land area that cradles many resort features to enjoy.</p>
<p>Take a refreshing dip in the infinity pool; take pictures on The Buddha View-Deck and feel like you&#8217;re in Thailand; have a massage in the spa village; ride on the La Virginia Zipline! Whatever you want to do &#8211; roam around and take pictures, eat at the restaurant, or take a snooze in their hotel rooms &#8211; a day wont be enough.</p>
<p>You can visit their site to check on the rates and other important details: <strong>www.lavirginiaresort.com</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10774" src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Club-Balai-Isabel-Talisay-Batangas.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="194" /><strong>Club Balai Isabel, Talisay</strong></p>
<p>When I did the <strong><a href="http://www.wowbatangas.com/features/others/will-batangas-soon-be-the-wedding-venue-of-the-stars/">&#8220;wedding venue of the stars&#8221;</a></strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s among the numerous resorts in Batangas which shares the captivating view of Taal Lake and the &#8216;often mistaken to be the Taal Volcano&#8217;, Mt. Binintian. Club Balai Isabel&#8217;s infinity pool is one of the largest swimming pools I&#8217;ve seen so far. Just like any other resorts, Club Balai Isabel has a lot of fun activities available for every guest&#8217;s satisfaction. <strong>(Photo Credit: www.tripadvisor.com)</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/La-Suena-Brisa-Beach-Resort-Lemery-Batangas-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10875" /><strong>La Sueña Brisa Beach Resort &amp; Events Place, Lemery</strong></p>
<p>This one you should check out if you&#8217;re heading to Lemery. La Sueña Brisa is located along the shoreline of the Lemery beach. The resort boasts of its two main attractions &#8211; the infinity pool with color logic lights and the butterfly garden which adds the &#8216;close to nature&#8217; experience.</p>
<p>La Sueña Brisa has an in-house catering service and the Bien Cocido Restaurant to satisfy your cravings for sumptuous dishes while on vacation. </p>
<p><strong>A few more resorts coming up! <img src='http://wowbatangas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Talisay is another perfect destination if all you’re after for is the majestic view of the vast Taal Lake and the mountain across, Mt. Binintian (the cone-like land formation that you see from Talisay is not ‘the’ Taal Volcano).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600"> Khristalene and the Other Names Behind the Villa</span></strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600">Resort Facilities and Features</span></strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600">Why Choose Villa Khristalene?</span></strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600">Waiting for a Comeback</span></strong></p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>Villa Khristalene, see you again!</p>
<p>***<br />
For interested visitors, you can contact Villa Khristalene at (043) 773-0148; 542-0618; 0919-6874906; 0999-6114848. The resort is located in Brgy. Leynes, Talisay, Batangas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When someone speaks of Batangas, a rush of conversation on its beach resorts will normally run for a quite a few minutes. What else can people, especially tourists, expect from our province? Many. And we&#8217;ve got a dose of things to do in Batangas.</p>
<p>1. <strong>Resort-hopping</strong>. Batangas, aside from kapeng barako, is known for the beach resorts that attract most tourists both local and foreign. Some of the most exciting resorts in Batangas that we&#8217;ve been to ranges from new ones to almost decades-old ones. Resort features also vary and the services ranges from the basic to high-end.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8482" src="http://wowbatangas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Dive-Solana-Anilao-Mabini-Batangas-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Some of the many resorts the team had visited this year are:</p>
