Let's face it, a resort that will required you to avail of their own buffet and is located on a beach of pebbles instead of sand is not the best you can get in the Philippines. I've always heard a lot of good things about Laiya Batanggas but I didn't expect the pebbly beach. The rooms are great, there was... more

Reservation & Payment: First of all, we inquired about reservations for Dec 25-26 from 3 resorts in the area. Out of the 3, only Palm Beach Resort promptly responded with the complete information we needed. In my book, that is the professional thing to do. The whole reservation was a breeze, but they did require us to pay a 50%... more

- booking was so easy - i called as i was driving south with no place to go - and the reservations person was very helpful plus they accept major credit cards! - the room was very clean with pristine white covers blankets and pillows. the extra beds are actual beds! not folding beds with an inch think foam. split... more

We visited Palm Beach Resort on July but we were lucky that there wasn't rain. It occurred to me that Laiya Beaches are behind and below a mountain, thus there's coves. Theres a cove wherein all the resorts are at - one long stretch. We went there to inquire but they didnt had rooms for us anymore. Lucky Palm Beach... more

1. Booking - a breeze! Very organized. Even faxed directions n map going 2d resort. 2. Travel - fast. Though nearing the resort you'll pass by a narrow rough road (you'd pass by acuatico, blue coral, la luz respectively) it's still manageable even to cars. But I don't recommend it during rainy days coz it could be slippery. At the... more

If there's one thing I won't forget about Palm Resort it's the steep and rough roads that we passed getting there. We were thinking that all these roads used to be mountains and getting to the beach...they just somehow had to make a road. The beach was filled with sharp pebbles that I couldn't last three steps from the shore... more

My friends and I went to Palm Beach Resort for a 2-night stay and was pleasantly surprised at what we saw and experienced. Nestled in a somewhat secluded area of the San Juan area of Batangas, the resort was surprisingly modern and equipped with good quality amenities and facilities. The room we stayed in comfortably accommodated the 5 of us.... more

Found this hotel via their website. With no prior reservation, we walked-in and thankfully, due to a last minute cancellation, we had one space left on a Premier Casita. The room is huge yet homy, the beds and pillows are comfortable. The towels and linens are "Downy soft" and fresh smelling. Everything is clean and pretty. They were fully booked... more

1. The beach is not white sand it is rocky.Not good for swimming, however if you like snorkelling it is ok because there are a lot of corals and fish. I recommend that you bring aqua shoes (available at sm department store P 179.75) In fact a lot of my friends had open cuts, abrasions and lacerations from the rocks... more
