LILIW RESORT

 Simple, untouched, peaceful, and cool environment is what I can say of Liliw Resort.
If you are sweaty and tired of all the hassles and bustles of the busy city life and want to retreat for awhile to calm your nerves, this is the place. Mostly for Nature Lovers. But if you are a party person, sorry this is a no no.
If you and your friend/s want to have a relaxing Day Off to a place where:

  • You can cool off your sun-scorched body with the cool streams of water.
  • You can swim while looking at nature itself.
  • You can connect with God spiritually.
  • You can relax your mind, body and spirit. 
  • You can have a little privacy.
  • You enjoy nature.
  • there is peace and quiet.
...then this is the place for you.
   For those who want to visit but is not familiar with the place from San Pablo Laguna, go to the jeepney terminal of  Liliw. From the main municipality of Liliw, just ride a tricycle and tell them to bring you to Liliw Resort at Ilaya, Kanlurang Bukal. The entrance fee is Php 50.00 per head. Cottage rental ranges from Php 3,000.00 to Php 5,000.00.
   I encourage everyone, not only nature lovers but also to those who want to cool themselves off for awhile to try visit the place. Also, make sure you bring extra clothes or jacket because the climate is much cooler starting at twilight.

Laiya, Batangas ( Balakbakan, Laiya, Aplaya, San Juan, Batangas)

  Surrounded by hills, the once peaceful, less traveled, nature-rich countryside has now become a popular Summer destination.
After passing Barrio Ibabaw, you will see that the next Barrio is "lined" with beaches. Some high-end beaches while there are some specifically Barrio Balakbakan are the "low-end" beaches or we call it the "pang-masa". If you really want to go swimming with your family and friends on a budget, I should suggest that you go to Balakbakan. I usually go to Lucky 7 Beach Resort since that's where my husband's relatives live.
    The beach's soil is not black but creamy, very light yellowy-white. Soil is composed of powdery sand and pebbles. They also have aircon rooms available. Their prices are also seasonal. Peak Season is from March to June. Their prices range from Php 5,500 to Php 8,500, overnight accomodation.. Depending on the number of persons in a group. They also have Ordinary houses which is much cheaper and more comfortable for a large group. The biggest ordinary accomodation costs only Php 5,500 overnight. Beware though on months of May and June. It's Jellyfish season. Tiny and small jellyfishes visits the seashore usually in the afternoon, and the water turns to brown and itchy but only in the afternoon.
  Besides the accomodation, they also offer snorkeling, touring at the corals and the so-called "Mesang Bato".
In general, Laiya is also a beautiful Summer destination and less expensive than going to Boracay. the only demise is that since people are coming in, the birds are moving out.
If anyone is interested, this is their contact number: +639275410491/ +639217863998
