Laiya Batangas - Les Caraibes Resort

Peter spent his birthday weekend by the beach of Les Caraibes Resort

It's been a long, stressful & tiring week and I'm so glad it's almost over. For those of you who are yearning for a beach trip anytime soon, (I know I am) may I recommend this quiet, peaceful, serene and beautiful piece of paradise located in Laiya, Batangas --- LES CARAIBES BEACH RESORT.

Les Caraibes Beach Resort is managed by Ms. Len Congco Haddadin and Ms. Corrie Pumarada Menez. Resort operations began on January 2008 as they pursue their dream of offering Filipinos and Tourists a place with an atmosphere much different from the atmosphere of everyday life. A place where one would sit back and let nature take its course making you feel as if you were never apart from it. Here in Les Caraibes Beach Resort, we believe that each and everyone of us deserves to have a good time...but only our guests deserve the best. Our resort offers Carribean-inspired cottages and rooms, a restaurant with a wide variety of intercontinental cuisine by Mr. Philippe-our French Chef, a bar lounge, water activites such as boating, fishing and kayaking, day-trip picnic tables, tent areas, and other facilites. Come visit us and you'll soon realize that nature is your real home." ----- LES CARAIBES

We were supposed to kayak (only Php200/hr) but I fell asleep!

I am posting an entry here to vent out certain negative feelings I am having about Virgin Beach Resort in Laiya, Batangas… It’s up to you to decide if you still want to patronize the place. I will, however, call them on Monday (since no one is answering their phone right now), to verify who this Grace person is who made such a huge mistake in terms of handling a customer properly.

Beach Wedding Venue

Kuya Nelson and Caren were camera-shy. So in this photo, it was just me, Peter, Ate Rose and Laiza. 

As  I was telling you in my previous post, we went to Virgin Beach Resort in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas last weekend with my friends from the office. We all met at GSIS around 7 a.m. and at 10:30 a.m., we reached our destination. It was our first time to go out of town with Caren, Laiza and Kuya Nelson and they were one cool bunch of comfortable and down-to-earth friends I’ve been with. Couple that with wacky Ate Rose, hilarious Peter and sleepy me (Peter & I went straight to packing for the trip right after the Brownman Revival gig). So what we had was one CRAZY-SEXY-COOL group of friends.

 

One of the kubos we hung out at. 

Our check-in time was at 1:00 p.m.  Yes, we were very early. So we stretched out for a while, hung out in one of their kubos, tested the crsytal clear water and took lots of scenic pictures. At first, I wasn’t sold on the place. Coz compared to La Luz Resort at the opposite end of the same stretch of beach, Virgin didn’t have that “Thai resort” feel to it (exactly the same impression Kai had when she also went to the same resort).

 

My dream beach house… simple and cozy.
