La Luz Beach Resort: San Juan, Batangas

Who would have thought that I will be able to spend a 2-day team building on this wonderful beach resort somewhere in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas? It was all about through the net that I was able to gather information about the resort. It was when my cousin's wife got the chance to have a vacation on this resort and confirmed to me that this is such a great place for vacation! Well, I can always recall how she enjoyed her vacation when she told me about her experiences in staying here. Go ahead, scroll down and see the beauty of La Luz Beach Resort.

Looks like you're in a private island, right?! Well it's a big NO! It is in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas! There is so much more to appreciate on this beach resort. It is approximately 3-4 hours travel from Manila. Well it is all worth the ride once you stepped down from your car and feel the breeze of fresh air. 

I still believe in paradise, but now at least I know it is not some place that you can look for because it is not where you go..

It's how you feel for a moment in your life where you are a part of something. And if you find that moment, it's last forever. 

"The Beach."

You just read it right! Meal time schedule!!! It's buffet buddy! Eat all you want until you drop! They serve really mouth-watering foods! Fresh fruits too! You can really enjoy having meals along the shore, with the fresh breeze of cold air. Priceless! Oh well, wine will definitely on the resto but it's not inclusive of the fee. You got to pay what you want to drink. :)

Well, I am a beach lover! Hitting the beach without me dipping to the water is a major disaster for me. I just love water and swimming is one of my past time aside from running! So there, I enjoyed swimming with my colleagues. Strolled here and there. Swimming and diving here and there. And off course, chit chat with them!

One crazy little group! 

Such a great day for us to finish our meeting that early and we're able to spend quality time with the other auditors from other campuses. Time for bonding and time for making friends too! Dinner was so perfect! So romantic with all the candle lit on the table! You just want to lie down in bed after getting your stomach full and take that ZzzZzzzzzz!

With my co-auditors... DLSP. 

So there, experience in La Luz Beach Resort is one of a kind. Definitely I will go back here soon with my family or relatives. Want some kind of peaceful vacation then hit this place and definitely no regrets!

Kabayan Beach Resort: Laiya, San Juan, Batangas

Around 04:00 I need to leave my friends in Hacienda R Resort because of another out of town trip. Overnight swimming on a hot spring and this time beach! This time I am with my office mates and other co-employees. I hit Turbina in Laguna, where my colleague's will pick me up. We will be going to Laiya in San Juan, Batangas which is known for nice sandy beaches.

It takes us about 4 hours drive from Turbina. We took the route from Quezon province though there are also some other route going there. Scenery during the trip is fantastic. You can see the beauty of mother nature.

We went to Kabayan Beach Resort. It is a great beach resort! From the entrance you can really say "Ohhh Yeahhh" The resort is huge and can accommodate hundreds of people. There is a wide area for car parking. After arriving there, I strolled around the place and it was awesome. Took some pictures as well.

The beach is great! The sand is fine brown to white. Great views can really make your energy goes up. Can't resists to take a lot of pictures here and there. After setting our food in the cottage named "Kalapati", I easily took off my shirt and began strolling. Beach baby,,,beach!!!

Walking for a few meters away along the shore, there is also a small river which the water goes directly to the beach. You can walk barefooted because the sand is fine unlike some other beaches who are rocky. I did a jump shot... Haha! That was fun!

We then started swimming! We also enjoyed kayaking as the beach does not have a strong waves. It is calm and the water is clear. You can also see some small fishes along the place. I think we rented the kayak Php 200.00 for an hour. It was worth the fun.

After those activities, I find time to rest while my colleagues and their children still having great time swimming. I was able to sit down and enjoy the view... bikinis baby... yeah!!! I also mingled with the lifeguards there. Hahaha such a silly thing for me to do... Is it not?

It's time for lunch!!! We did bring our own food... I enjoyed grilled tilapia... And I did not used spoon and fork. I enjoyed eating using my bare hands during this kind of activities. After lunch, we enjoyed playing volleyball too!!! Playing with Shine and Malene on the sand. The resort also have a spa place... I did not try that so I don't have any idea how much do they charge. Hehe...

We also enjoyed snorkeling. I already forgot how much we paid for the boatmen. We stayed there swimming, watching a school of fish and watching corals. Just bit worried because on our way back to the resort, waves are already getting bigger and water is bumping on our boat. I only prayed during our trip going back to the resort for safety. And thank God, we were safe. That was fun though.

To sum it up, We enjoyed that day. We all loved the place, it is seen on our face. I will go back there again soon. Such a day filled with great memories!!!
