We decided to combine our last trip to Batangas with a visit to the amusement park in Laguna - Enchanted Kingdom. I can say about the park that it is big, there are a lot of interesting things. But most people. The queues are wild for the most interesting rides. The least you need to stand on the carousel - about 5-10 minutes and on the chain swing - about 15 minutes. An hour and a half on the Ferris wheel. And our main record is 2 hours in line for the roller coaster. Trust me, you don't want anything after that. There is absolutely no queue for the 4D cinema. we understood the reason about a minute after the start of the session. Absolutely not interesting. This is not the 4D that is shown in the movies. You can also eat on the territory, what the soul desires. Plus a lot of competitions with prizes, the prize is soft toys of different sizes depending on the results.
Now about the hotel. This time it took a long time to get there. I didn't even know that Batangas is such a big city. The hotel is at the very end. A very large area. The hotel is brand new and there is still construction going on in the area. It doesn't bother me that it's dusty. In addition to the hotel itself, there are also apartments for rent and sale. The hotel buildings themselves are located farthest from the sea, in front of them are 3 apartment buildings. Each has its own name. To the sea and throughout the territory carries a hotel car. Conveniently. You don't need to wait for it. There are always free ones. The trip from the hotel to the beach lasts approximately 1-2 minutes (I timed it). There is an artificial lake in front of the hotel. Beautiful is a plus, mosquitoes are a minus.
The room has everything - bathrobes, slippers, towels, tea set, TV, air conditioning, hair dryer. To the last claim as it worked very badly. So if you can’t live without a hair dryer (believe me, there are such people), it’s better to bring it with you. table and chairs on the balcony. Wifi works throughout the hotel and in the rooms too. There is also Wi-Fi on the beach, the password is different, but the staff will enter it for you. By the way, for half a year in the Philippines, I noticed that in 80% of cases when I asked for a password in hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, etc. , the staff took my phone and entered it himself. When we were sitting in a company and everyone needed Wi-Fi, the waiter in turn introduced it to each gadget, without speaking. I don't know why, but this is. . .

The price of the room includes breakfast. He's on the menu. Packaged juices, tea, coffee and about 6-7 breakfast options - scrambled eggs, pancakes, English breakfast (I don’t advise, I took it on the first day, so it was like a stake in the stomach until the evening). In almost all versions, except for pancakes, there is rice. You can eat during the day in the hotel restaurant or in the restaurant or bars on the beach. You can also order delivery from fast food, but until they take it, you won’t eat it anymore.
The beach is very beautiful. Beach chairs are modern and very uncomfortable. Beauty requires sacrifice. Tables and chairs around the pool. The beach is cleaned twice a day by a tractor. There are water sports. We went by boat to a desert island - 10 minutes from the hotel. It is very small, there is nothing there, except for the boy who actually sailed with us and sat waiting for us to work up on this miracle island 20 by 100 meters.
More about the beach. Beach towels are paid. To take them, you need to put money on a plastic card, which you will be given at the reception. The price of a towel is 150 pesos. In a word, for this money in Manila you can buy it. But it is.
I really liked the food at the restaurant on the beach - everything is there: soups and meat and seafood, national Filipino dishes and Italian cuisine. Fruits, ice cream, sweets, everything is there. The prices are normal. Alcohol, if you drink, it is better to bring with you.
The swimming pool at the second building of the hotel was not working yet. Due to the fact that it is still being completed, the hotel is quiet and peaceful. But we were a noisy company, we had fun. On the day of our departure, a Chinese delegation stopped by. They had a conference there, it was noisy. The soundproofing in the rooms is good.
