Stilts Calatagan, Batangas

This is one beautiful place.


It's a long drive from Manila, and it's a great weekend getaway.

Here are the notable things about the place:
  • The cottages over the water in stilts
    • Very roomy, great ventilation, and the amazing ocean ambiance
    • There are hammocks on each private patio
    • You can feed the fish from the private steps to the see

  • Great beach-garden ambiance
    • Lots of interesting quotes in signs all over the place.
    • Open dining areas with excellent service.
  • The beach
    • Not really for swimming, it's really shallow and filled with seaweed but...
  • They have floating kubos!
    • Great for having a couple of beers and watching the sun set
  • A swimming pool
    • A good fix for the beach problem, but if you really want to...

  • You can hire boatmen and go snorkeling around the area
    • They pick you up and drop you off directly from your cottage. Convenient!
    • Good snorkeling spots.
