MANUEL UY, CALATAGAN, BATANGAS (2018)

(This is my follow up blog for Manuel uy since we go there twice <2017 last year and this year March 2018> and they've done many changes.) When we want to escape from toxic people and/or stressful work we think of a "beach getaway". When we just want to relax, have fun, and feel the nature some of us wants it to be in a "beach" or somewhere peaceful. Like MANUEL UY BEACH RESORT CAMPSITE (located in Calatagan, Batangas) When you want to relax this is the perfect place for you. They don't have cottages/rooms for guests to rent but they have tents for rent. You can bring your tent or rent their tent/s. But I suggest to bring your own tent if you're a budget traveler or if you want to lessen your expenses. BUT It's still up to you.  Below are the improvements that can be seen in the Resort Beach Camp:  (comparison of our first visit last 2017 to our 2nd visit this March 2018) ENVIRONMENTAL FEE Before y

MANUEL UY BEACH RESORT

Manuel Uy Beach Resort is located in Brgy. Sta. Ana in Calatagan, Batangas. This place is good for budget travelers and those who wants to relax. Better bring your own tents if you're planning to visit this place coz they don't have any means of accommodations here. No hotels, no rooms, no cottages. If you don't want to sleep in a tent, better visit "Stilts" resort. It's near Manuel Uy. But I think It's a little expensive there. They have bathroom here. and there's a fee. The water is a bit salty but you have no choice. hehe. NOTE: By 2am-4am there is no "bantay" in bathrooms so consider that time where you can use the CR for free. hihihi. :D FEES: - ENTRANCE FEES: Daytour 50php / Overnight 100php - TENT PITCHING: 50php - BATHROOM FEES: Wiwi 5php / Poops 10php / Taking a bath 20php - LONG TABLE: 300php to 400php (But its okay not to rent a table just bring your own table or bring your "sapin".

LA PACHIRA RESORT & GUISI LIGHTHOUSE

LA PACHIRA On our way going to La Pachira, the Jeepney driver brought us to the souvenir/pasalubong shop "the trappist abbey". The monks earn a living by selling souvenir items like bracelets, keychains, rosary, bags, clothes, etc. and processed foods (good for pasalubong) such as jellies, jams, candies, piyaya and more, which are sold in a small shop within the monastery grounds. Outside the shop there's a mid-old lady selling her "bukayo" or the coconut with sugar which is a little bit sticky but I assure you, you'll regret if you don't buy and taste it. :P La Pachira Resort is located in Guisi, Brgy. Dolores, Nueva Valencia Guimaras.  You can rent a cottage, table, or room here in La Pachira. But the problem is. . you have to go down of this stair if you want to go swimming in the beach which is I find more difficult for others specially if you have kids and if you're with someone old (grandfather, grandmother, etc
