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.

Our cottage |
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.
