Cheap Laiya Resort

Cheapest Laiya Resort in San Juan


Have you been in Laiya, San Juan ? Which beach resort? Would you say that you got the cheapest rate in your  Laiya resort?

Let's open the search for the cheapest Laiya resort and obtain a list of cheap Laiya Resort,
Well, just to be clear, let's define cheap resort as the resort which offers the lowest price.  We'll not dwell deeper on the quantity and quality of service and the goodness of amenities.  We'll focused on the amount paid.

What is the minimum money that we should have to enjoy a stay in Laiya, San Juan?
Where can we find this deal? 

_______________________________________________  ?
________________________________________________?
________________________________________________?



Next, let's consider the service provided, the activities and amenities offered. In this case, a resort that asks for 50 pesos but the beach area is contaminated by trashes, leaves and plastics is NOT considered as cheap. On the other hand,  a resort that asks for 1000 pesos but treated you like a President every minute is considered as Cheap resort. This is harder to measure since it may rely on personal opinions.  This time, we are looking for Laiya resort which we can classify as Super Sulit. This means that every centavo we spent was replaced by immeasurable happy moments.  Every peso spent had a worthy cause.

Laiya Resort Facebook Page with the most number of Facebook Likes

Do you know the Laiya resort with the highest number of Likes in Facebook? 





It may not come as a big surprise.  If you are familiar with Laiya, I think you can get the answer right with less than three guesses.

Is it La Luz, Acuaverde, Sabangan, Estrellas de Mendoza, Acuatico, or Blue Coral Facebook page?

The answer is Acuatico.  As of June 2014, Acuatico surpasses the 25, 000 likes in facebook.
Most resorts didn't even reached the 10, 000 likes. This doesn't necessarily mean that the other resorts are not good. Acuatico may have a better facebook page or its customers are more active in facebook compared to the customers in other resort.  Regardless of the explanation behind the 25,000 likes, I can say that the Acuatico is one of the best resorts in Batangas( not only in Laiya). 

I have read so many positive reviews about Acuatico beach resort.  Most guests commend Acuatico good service and appreciate the infinity pool.  On the other side, Acuatico is more expensive compared to other resorts.

I patiently searched for the facebook pages of Laiya beach resorts one by one on the internet. However, I may fail to select the official one.  If you find some error on the links, let me know.

By the way, there's a way to remove the annoying numbers at the end of facebook page name.

Another good video of Playa Laiya Amenities

Playa Laiya




Plaiya laiya is known to be exclusive for lot owners and guests.
If you want to experience an exclusive resort with  relaxing cabanas and magnificent man made pools,
visit Plaiya Laiya

If you are sporty, you'll definitely want to try jet skiing, snorkeling, banana boating, and kayaking in Laiya. If you don't know how to swim, you can still try all of them.  I tried snorkeling, banana boat, and kayak without knowing how to swim.

 Remember, you are wearing a life vest.
The life vest will do the floating for you.
Keep loving and sticking with your life vest if you can't swim properly.



Laiya Austria Beach Resort

I read about good comments about these resort. However, its hard to get contact information and photos of this resort.

Please share if you have a good experience.

Hi Guys,

Let's help each other in finding out the most beautiful resort in Laiya.  Let's connsider all things except the price.  Assume that everyone has enough budget. What do you suggest?

Post your suggestions on the comment section below.


Balai sa San Juan

How about we go outside Laiya and explore the beauty of nearby resorts?
Maybe I should rename the blog to San Juan resorts now haha.

By the way, San Juan is the municipality that governs Laiya. Laiya is just a barangay in San Juan.
Furthermore, there is also a place called Balai Anilao

You can read more about balai resorts in http://www.balai-resort.com/
and their facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Balai-Sa-San-Juan-Resort/332148190161588
and https://www.facebook.com/BalaiResortsFanPage
This is a video uploaded on youtube. See what they discovered on Balai sa San Juan

What to see in Virgin beach resort in San Juan?

I found this video online which shares the natural beauty, ancestral houses, spanish colonial churches, lambanog of of San Juan. San Juan is really a tourist haven of Southern Luzon with beautiful landscapes and rich marine life.  San Juan is not only about coconuts!



 While you are in San Juan, look for Virgin Beach Resort.

La Luz Beach Resort Review

La Luz is located in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas which is around 3-4 hours away from Manila.
It's one of those resorts where the photos do not lie. What you see on photos is what you see on the resort. Consistent!



Prepare to have a little exercise since before you reach the accommodation and beach area, you need to climb down a stair. Don't worry, it's not that hard to climb.

La Luz is full of cabanas beside the resort. I prefer to stay in there at night rather in my room.
Why? Maybe I just want the natural cool breeze of the sea rather than the artificial coldness manufactured by air conditioner.

It's very relaxing in the resort. You will not feel too much heat of the sun because La Luz is also a home of tall trees.   Of course, you can't escape the sun when you're on the beach area. Haha! Go under the resort umbrellas, it might work.

Some bloggers say that there isn't much to do in the resort. However, I believe that snorkeling, boating, kayak, diving is enough for a weekend stay.  Other activities that you can have are massage, boardgames, volleyball, hiking,  and bonfire.

What I did in Laluz? Enjoyed a buffet meal. Took pictures,Rode a Kayak,Took pictures,  Hike on the stone cliffs near the beach area, Enjoyed swimming and took pictures again!


Visit La Luz at their official website www.laluzresort.com so you can see La Luz resort rates!

Are there Jellyfish in Laiya, San Juan ?

I heard comments about the presence of Jellyfish in San Juan. It's not a rumor.
When ?  Around April to May.

Last April 2014, there were news that Anne Curtis while shooting for Dyesebel was stung by Jellyfish. Jellyfish was common in selected rich waters of  Batangas and this includes San Juan.

You can watch the details of anne curtis experience here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvn2A6_FPPs


My advice is not to touch and not to swim near jellyfishes.  There are some species of  jellyfish which doesn't cause any harm or sting to human but unless you are 100% that they not harmful, do not touch them.

What is the first aid for Jellyfish sting? How do I treat Jellyfish Sting?
I will not advise except for do not use urine !

Here are some articles that can help you:

Blue Coral Resort Review, Rates and Amenities

Blue Coral Beach Resort is located in Laiya, Batangas. It is near the popular Aquatico Beach Resort.

You can go to Youtube and watch some videos about Blue Coral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBYt0_R0GUU.


What I liked the most about Blue Coral is their maximize use of space. I don't need to walk far from Blue Coral hotel to reach the pool and the beach. We occupied 2nd or 3rd floor of the hotel where you can capture  beautiful top view pictures of the resort. That's the spot where I took notice of their different ornamental trees. On the ground floor of the hotel is the dining area.   You can watch the koi pond and glimpse on swimming pool on the dining area.  The beach side is only a few steps away of their swimming pool.

Second, I really like the presence of ornamental trees near their koi pond. No one will go to a resort just to look for ornamental trees but these trees add up to my relaxation.

Third, Banana boat ride!  We were offered to have a ride on their banana banana boat and we took the deal. It was my first time. It was the first ride of my friends too and not all of us know how to swim.
That's why we are loving and hugging our life vest so much. Most of us were afraid but we  survived enjoyed our bumpy banana ride! haha
