Alternative Places to Stay in Laiya




The narrow road leading to the entrance of Kabayan Beach Resort in Laiya in San Juan, Batangas is dotted with other "resorts" which more or less share the same beach front as that of Kabayan Resort. During our overnight stay in Laiya Austria Beach Resort, I was able to take a look at the other places as we also tried to book an extra night.

These alternative places are not beach front. Guests have to walk on a narrow cemented path for less than  5 minutes to get to the beach.

Ideal for budget travelers, bringing in and cooking food is allowed. These "resorts" have common kitchen facilities complete with stove, griller and refrigerator. Dining and eating utensils are also provided.


Village Plaza Resort



Four air-conditioned cottages with 2 double-sized beds, 
private toilet and bath, and cable tv at Php 5,000 per night

They also have three bahay kubo-type of rooms, each equipped with a double-sized bed and fan. Toilet and bath is common for all three kubo-types. Room rate is Php 2,500 per night.

For inquiries, call Rachel Valdecantos at numbers (043) 5753261, 0908-5065817,
or Sally at 0929-2258618.

Thanks for this. Now I don't have to rely on resort's website which is super expensive and do not allow bringing in of foods. The beach view and water that they have is also the same with the other, they just differ in accomodations. Well for people like me who wants to go there just to relax need not to go to an expensive resort, all I want is to smell the fresh air and to see the relaxing scenery of the beach making sure that the room i'm occupying is safe when I sleep as well as my belongings.
