Laiya Coco Grove
Address: San Juan - Laiya Rd, San Juan, Batangas
Laiya -- When we think of, it has a white sand, not fine as Boracay but as we think of, it is decent and clean. I booked my reservations using their website, and I got their email to deposit the half of the amount and the rest will be settled in full once arrive.
Since the food is already packaged, we just bring sodas, water and chips. We booked the cabin room, with one double bed and pull away good for three persons. There's no CR inside but luckily our room is just next to the shower / comfort room.
Sharing you my plates from Dinner, Breakfast and Lunch buffet. Yes, LUNCH. After you check out the following day, you can stay and eat lunch before heading home for a long drive.
PS: Please don't judge HAHHAHAHA!
Yes, I know, you want to ask me more questions.. OKAY!
1. Buffet is not that buffet in Manila like Sambokojin, it's a managed buffet with 3-4 viands to choose from, soup, desserts and drinks.
2. I think we are 200 people in the dining area, please fall in line. :)
Going back to the room itself.
The cabin has 6 combined rooms. It is clean and the AC is working fine. A complimentary 2 bottles of water is given + coffee + tea sachet and a small kettle.
We arrived at noon, they gave us free welcome drinks, easy check in and check out. They asked us if we want to go to their extended beach area round 5 mins from the hotel and they give complimentary van ride. So we went to our room, change clothes and we ready ourselves for a beach adventure. I think we stayed for 1-2 hours only and decided to go back to the main resort and dip to their pool instead. :)
Overall, it was a 100% satisfying tummy este stay! :)
Breakdown of expenses:
- Gas 1,200
- 2D1N accomodations with BUFFET for 3 4,400
- Toll 125
- Snacks/Baon 500
Good for 3 PAX!
