Resort Review: La Luz Beach Resort and Spa

We just went to our family outing last April 13-14 during my mom’s 66^th birthday. It was awesome! Out of town with my family is one of the many things I want to do, you know natanda narin parents ko and I want to spend more time with them, same with them, my parents want to be with us lalo na mas masaya pag kumpleto kami (plus factor ang mga apo nyang macu-cutelit) Hehe. My older sister recommends La Luz Beach Resort in San Juan Batangas, dito daw kasi sila nag outing before and their service are superb according to her. We have other choices, but most of them are fully book or super pricey (peak season you know!)

La Luz Beach Resort & Spa is just about 3 hours drive from Makati via SLEX – Star Toll Way – Ibaan- Rosario – San Juan Batangas. You need to pay Php 20/each once you reach San Juan Batangas as Environmental Fee. I don’t know if all kids are free of charge, but as far as I remember, we only pay 3 adults. We left our home past 6:30am, had our breakfast at McDo in SLEX and arrived at the resort just in time for lunch.

They offer welcome drinks upon arrival at the resort. I settle our remaining balance including mandatory full board meals. (Please note that all overnight guests must avail the Php 1,710 buffet meal package which includes Lunch, PM Snack, Dinner and Breakfast. Children below 5 years old are FREE and 6-8 years old Php 855/head)

We booked the Premier Loft worth Php 7,760 which is good for 7 persons and can accommodate up to 10 persons. They also have Junior Premier (Good for 2 persons and can accommodate up to 4 persons) Php 4,600, Premier (Good for 4 persons and can accommodate up to 6 persons) Php 5,950 , Annex Room (Good for 2 persons and can accommodate up to 4 persons) Php 4,600,  Annex Dorm (Good for 6 persons) Php 6,760,  Annex Loft (Good for 8 persons and can accommodate up to 12 persons) Php 6,850, Dormitory (Good for 16 persons) Php 9,730 and Hilltop (Good for 2 persons and can accommodate up to 4 persons) Php 11,800

We had our lunch first at the food hall upon arrival since our room is still not available. The meals are served with minimum of 4 dished per meal which comes with Rice, Chicken, Pork, Beef or Fish, Vegetables, Soup and Dessert. Juice and purified drinking water are provided with all the meals.

Our Premier Loft is located on the 2^nd floor with 2 double beds, 2 single beds and 1 pull out.  Everything is in order; the place is clean and fresh as they provided diffuser every room. All of their rooms do not have a tv set which for me is very fine considering the fact that we went there to relax, enjoy the scenery and perfect time to talk and bond.  The shower room is separate from the toilet room which is plus factor for me. Though honestly, the rooms need for upgrade and renovation.

 

I love everything about this resort as they offer a wide variety of recreational and relaxation services. Water and land sports activities are available with minimal charge like Board games, biking, fat bike, kayaking, snorkeling, tribord, banana boat, jet ski, wind surfing, diving, hiking and if you want to have separate bonfire, you need to play additional Php 750.00. If you are on a tight budget, they offer free activities (day time only) such as Beach Volleyball, Beach Badminton, Beach Football. For light fee, if you want to do it at night, you need to pay for Php 150/hour.

They also have day tour package for Php 1,035/head from 8am – 5pm which includes Welcome drinks upon arrival at the resort, parking, entrance fee, use of cabana, buffet lunch and buffet afternoon snack.

Our kids really enjoyed playing sand with their cousins, medyo Malaki ang alon kaya we decided to just enjoy at the shore. In fairness, abot parin kami ng water kahit na medyo malayo na kami. (High Tide!) 

My favorite spot is the cabana, we just lie down, relax and feel the sea breeze and listening to the waves.  Very secluded and clean. So relaxing, in fact my dad fell asleep at the cabana. Hehe. The resort extends up to the rock formation along the shore which is an excellent spot for picture taking and sight-seeing. We actually went to the rock formation as we woke up early the following day. 

Beautiful place

The resort offers free Zumba session in the afternoon and anticipated mass on Saturday afternoon. The staffs are very accommodating and helpful. My mom cannot go and stand in a long when at least 5 men from the resort carry her from the registration area going down to the food hall, going to our room and every time we need assistance, they are willing to give their 100% effort. Kudos to all staff of La Luz Beach Resort. 

I love everything about this resort, I know the its kinda pricey but its worthy. The staff are accommodating, the place is nice and quiet, very perfect for R&R as the resort is like a little paradise with full of trees, lounges and benches where you can rest and relax. Well, if you are looking for wedding venue and corporate events, you may call them as they offer very affordable packages.
