The place is at Nasugbu, just a few kilometers from the town proper. When travelling far flung places, it's always wise to have a map on your smartphone. I would advise you to get WAZE (not a sponsor of this trip, just a handy tool) or Google maps.
Just ride a tricycle from Nasugbu town proper. It would cost you 20 php each. A rule of thumb for backpackers! Never ask for the price, just hand the driver 50 php and read his body language.
The entrance for backpackers is at the back of the sign. If you want to avoid the cars coming in.
The resort is pretty huge! Not recommended if you're lazy in walking
Sundays are great to avoid crowds!
The majestic BLUE SEA!! It was my first time to go to a beach with a clear blue water with no trash. Nature is such a beauty!
By late afternoon, the blue sea turned to a not so aqua blue sea. Still, it was very peaceful. If you love taking photos, go to the beach in the morning!
A daytrip would cost 1000 php with 300 pesos consumable. Food is discouraged though but if you insist, there is a 1000php corkage fee! too much!
Food is brought to you by Max's Restaurant, but without the service fee. I don't like their service crew though since you need to catch EVERY CREW'S attention just to place an order. One guy told us he wasn't taking orders, so he called someone, then after a few minutes we saw him taking some other group's orders!! Nobody cleaned up the table and one crew decided to clean the table next to ours first. I asked them for 10 glasses of water since they told us they can't leave a pitcher. The waiter decided to leave it at the next table. =_= seriously, bad service!!! I told my friends to stop asking the crew to clean up our table for the umpteenth time so they'd have a hard time serving our food while cleaning our table.. yup it's that kind of service where your horns start to grow and btch about everything because of the bad service when normally you have the patience of a saint when it comes to the service crew. At least the good ones.
I know they're probably stressed out from the (small) crowd of lunchtime, but in our case they just decided to ignore us. Maybe cause we looked like college kids. I told my friend to flash their credit cards so we can get some attention. They just seemed miserable at their jobs.
The food was great though, as expected of Max's restaurant!
All in all, if you want to enjoy the sun the beach and a beautiful view, I would suggest this place, but be warned! the place would cost 1000php per head, (food included). The hotel is also priced steeply at 5k php average per night, although I am very sure it's worth it! i'm guessing it's a 5-star hotel. The place is pretty fancy, so if you hate rubbing elbows with the rich, I wouldn't suggest this place to you.
