Assembly time was 7 a.m. at the Cubao Bus Terminal. Boyet and I met up with Aubrey and her sister at McDonald’s Taft and caught a cab to get to Cubao. The driver told us that he could drive us all the way to Laiya for Php3000. We initially declined until he lowered the price to Php2500. We gave in thinking that we had to ride a bus going to Lipa, transfer to a van and a jeepney ride to get to Laiya. But the heavy traffic was excruciatingly painful. We were in Calamba for almost three hours. We could see some restless drivers getting out of their cars to stretch and chat with other drivers. It took us six hours to get to Laiya! So we ended up giving him Php2700 for consideration.
But it was worth the wait. We were welcomed by one of their staff when we arrived at 1:30 p.m. The original check-in time was 3 p.m. but they allowed us for early check-in with no additional charge.
The house is divided into two: bedroom and porch/kitchen area. I loved the setting! Their kitchen is complete making it possible for us to cook anything we want. They also have a grill which Boyet used to cook barbecue and grilled hotdogs.
I loved the beach. There were no big waves which makes it perfect for swimming and other water sports. It was my first time to try kayaking! They offer it for Php200 per hour.
The resort transforms into a serene place as lights of different colors beam everywhere.

The sights will simply leave you breathless.
And the sand is perfect for the infamous jump shots!
It pains us to go because we would have really wanted to stay for another day. My heart was craving for some peace and quite. But we all needed to go back to the rat race.
We checked-out at 2 p.m. and was about to leave when one of their staff approached us and asked if we wanted to ride with their service van. We paid Php150 for the Laiya to Ayala ride. Nice! We waited for the van giving us 3 more hours to stay by the beach.

ReplyDeleteIt was my first time at Laiya and Kabayan Beach Resort was one of the cheapest resort that we've bumped into. There are Sigayan, Sabangan and White Cove but I haven't been at any of these so I am not sure if the accommodation is nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry i don't think i could be of any help. :(
