Are you tired of the hectic and congested life in Metro Manila? Why not take a short break and breath some air? Well, just a 3 to 4 hour drive, you can treat yourself with a day in a beach in Batangas.
On Laiya Beach along Tayabas Bay, this modest beach resort on green grounds is 54 km from the Calabarzon Expressway and 3 km from Laiya Adventure Park.
No-frills dorms have wood-framed bunk beds; some sleep up to 16 guests. Snug rooms add flat-screens and porches. There are 1- and 2-bedroom cottages, some with shared kitchens. Room service is offered.
Though it started as a rest house for the owners in 1996, through years, it really progressed. This relaxing hideaway that is nestled beside the clear blue waters has now lots of hotel-type, house-type, and dorm-type rooms that can accommodate guests and vacationers.
The Kabayan Beach Resort has an El Kapitan and a food court where you can enjoy a quality time with friends and families over delicious foods and refreshing drinks. These foods will surely satisfy both your hunger and cravings.

I find the resort good for friends or a group package where you can bonding with different activities you can do. It is also perfect for family bonding like this.

ACTIVITIES TO DO
I also find it very good for team building. There was actually a huge group of people playing games and sports like beach volleyball.
 |
| Kayaking |
The beach resort also offers water activities at different costs like kayaking.
The beach itself was picturesque and perfect for beach photoshoots.
That’s me chillin’ and relaxing under the heat of the sunlight.

You’ll also notice some of the locals roaming their selling their items and products for their living. Don’t hesitate to interact with them. Batangenios are kind and approachable.
