Thanks to friends, I got a chance to experience Laiya in San Juan Batangas. For years, Laiya has given tourists and locals alike the chance to enjoy sun and surf. on its creamy white sands with Mt. Daguldol (San Juan's highest peak)as the backdrop. Many have said this slice of paradise is popular, but when I searched the web for reviews and information, there were so few. Only a handful of resorts in Laiya have reached mainstream which are offering prime accommodations and amenities.
Playa Laiya beach |
We enjoyed Laiya in Playa Laiya's Clubhouse. Playa Laiya is a luxurious beachfront development (c/o Landco Pacific Corp) which envisions to create the "perfect beachside and leisure destination". Developments and improvements are still on-going, and lots are still vacant (but are selling like hotcakes!)
Clubhouse and the infinity pool |
The use of the clubhouse is exclusive only for future residents of Playa, though non-residents could use the amenities through invitations of residents (with entrance fee of Php 150-200).
Clubhouse amenities includes the pools (infinity lap pool, kiddie pools, and jacuzzi), restaurant, shower rooms with hot water (i like!), and of course the beach (this I did not fully enjoy due to slightly bad weather).
Though dubbed as to be the next Boracay (but so many have claimed this), the coarse sand and slightly treacherous waters of Laiya beach could not compare to that of Boracay's powdery white sand and the calmer waters.
