I rarely go further south of Cavite and so it was a treat when we were invited for a day tour to a former boss's resort at Calatagan, a three-hour car drive from Manila via Cavitex and the Centennial Highway. We left Manila before 8 am, passed by Tagaytay, and arrived before lunch at Calatagan, known for its cream-colored sand beaches.
From the resort's website: "Set amidst 24 hectares of rolling hills and white sand beaches, Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort is a place to enjoy life's simple pleasures--beautiful beaches, comfortable cottages, flower-filled-gardens, golden sunrises and breathtaking sunsets, happy moments and special celebrations."
This post is pic-heavy. Hope you like it.
After alighting from our car, we passed through a walk-way covered with flowering vines and flanked by manicured gardens.
The turquoise waters of the pool near the reception hut beckoned.
The dining area was sandwiched between the reception and the floating cottages.
Cabanas on stilts! Staying for a week in this type of cottage is up there in my wish list.
We stayed at this floating cottage, dressed in the colors of summer.
The all-white bedroom is so inviting. Imagine the sound of the sea breeze and the roll of the waves lulling you to sleep.
Note the clear waters
View from the cottage:
I could hide from the sun in the cottage and stroll along the beach when gentle times roll in.
It's refreshing to be at a beach teeming with life. Many of them blend in well with their surroundings. Can you spot some of the critters pictured below?
