Enjoying The Shores Of Laiya



A great way to start the summer is by enjoying it cooling down at the beach. Our family decided to go to Laiya Batangas this time. It is a 5-6 hour ride from our place in Cavite City to Laiya, San Juan Batangas. We booked our accommodation on Les Caraibes Beach Resort (click here for their website===>).  We availed the big cottage on the beach front for P4,000 after negotiation.  The room is clean, spacious, and with a great view of the beach.  It has 3 queen sized bamboo beds, private bathroom, LCD TV, air condition, and water dispenser.





Big Cottage (Beach Front)






The resort is small compared to some of the popular resorts here in Laiya.  Still, it is a decent and nice resort where you can enjoy the beach.

Around The Resort









Well, there's really not much to tell.  We really just came here to unwind and enjoy the beach. The beach is clean and with clear waters.  You'll just simply enjoy dipping the cool waters and playing with the sand.

The Beach









Everyone had fun and enjoyed the beach. Definitely a place worth going back to again.

How To Get There:

By Private Car:
1. Coming from Manila, take South Luzon Express Way. Go straight until the end, and enter STAR Toll Way. The drive along STAR Toll Way is approximately 20min. until you reach the Lipa(Tambo) Exit. 
2. Upon exiting, turn right (that is already C.M. Recto Avenue) and head for Lipa City. You will pass by La Salle Lipa University and Robinson’s on your left. When you see Mercury Drugstore, turn right , that is P.Torres St. Drive for about 8.5km until you see Magnum Opus School (on your right).
3. Enter the small street to the left (there’s a Rotary Club Logo). Go straight and you will pass by the Public Market before making a right at the corner of Lhuiller Pawnshop. Drive for about 4.5km and you will merge with the street coming from Rosario Town.
4. Just go straight and this road will lead to San Juan Town Proper (approximately 19km). Note: Do not enter the Batangas Racing Circuit. When you reach San Juan, after the Municipal Hall, turn right at the Police Station. This is the main road of Laiya already. This stretch will take for about 30min. You will pass by Virgin Beach and Blue Coral. The road will bend left, then bend right shortly until you come across a diverging road.
5. Take left (opposite of the direction of Palm Beach and LaLuz)…and WELCOME TO LES CARAIBES BEACH RESORT!

By Public Transport:
1. Take a bus from Manila to Lipa City (JACLINER, TRITRAN, BLTB, JAM, Alps,  etc.)
2. Get off at Lipa bus Terminal near McDonalds, Jollibee and Shakey’s.
3. Take a van/fx bound to San Juan, Batangas. Get off at San Juan town market.
