Where do lazy hearts go?: A lazy heart found at a not-so-hopeless-place

A lazy heart at Aquaria Beach Resort.

And so it begins..

Aquaria is located in the super deep heart of Playa, Calatagan, Batangas. Believe it or not, it's a long travel if you're commuting! Oh god, I think I will be swearing a lot in my very first blog.

How the lazy heart trip started:

So, there is this metrodeal voucher I purchased that costs 375PHP that grants me a day trip pass to the resort.

Regular entrace fee is 400PHP for walk ins. (I still needed a discount, sayang din yun no)
Before I go elsewhere, I have to say that they don't allow people to stay overnight and don't have any rooms available for you to stay if you are planning to stay longer. It opens 9am and closes at 6pm.

The not-so-right-route I took to get there

So, I started my trip from JAM Liner Bus Station along EDSA Kamuning. I rode the bus going to Lemery, Batangas (not a good idea) but it's my first time, we all learn from our mistakes, don't we?

The better way: Find a bus that travels to "Nasugbu Batangas"

Where can you find one? Gosh, I am all spoiling you! There is one located in Metro Point, Pasay.

Back to my trip, I got off at Lemery, Batangas. There's this mall called Xentro Mall in Lemery. From there, located just across the mall you will find a Van (Balayan-Nasugbu route) fare costs 70PHP/pax. It is approximately an hour travel from Lemery. YOU SHOULD GET OFF AT LIAN. Tell the driver. Go ahead.

Land mark: 7-11 convenience store, from there ride a tricycle (10php/pax) tell them to drop you off at Lian, Public Market where there is a jeepney terminal that goes from Lian to Calatagan (38php/pax)

Alternative way: If you rode a bus from my "better way" guide just above, tell that you are getting off at Lian, then ride in a jeepney going to Calatagan in the Lian public market. From there, tell the jeepney driver you are going "Bayan (Sta. Ana)"

Again to my trip, it's a 45min travel from Lian Public Market to Sta. Ana, Calatagan. When you reach the "Bayan (Sta. Ana)" you will be getting off here, take a note.

The last thing you will ride is a tricycle, just don't don't don't let the drivers fool you into paying a freaking high price for a 10min ride. Normally, they will charge you 140PHP/pax or 400PHP/group. Don't ever buy that shit.

I found a very nice guy that only charged us 200PHP back and forth. He's name is Kuya Nato, after getting off the resort, tell him to fetch you at the resort just by texting him at 09109392911. (There is no available public transport in the place so you really have to tell the driver to fetch you.)

The long wait is over! Finally arrived!! I need a time to relax, just look at this. Very serene, no whining kids, loud noises just a peaceful view.

But wait!! There's more!! I know you are wondering how much would be the cottage fees or so. I'm proud to say that you really don't have to pay for shit, just go outside, on the beach area, there are a lot of free chairs and tables out there! Find one! Go grab that chair! Own it!

Amazing huh?

If you have kids, there's a kiddie pool! Just be on a proper swimming attire if you are going to swim on the pools. The pool is located just after you pass the lobby.

There are a lots of amenities that are free to use,you can go boating, beach volleyball, slides and a whole lot more! Adult pools are I think 6ft deep if I am not mistaken. :)

The slide!!

Loving the view from here! It's a pretty decent get away if you really want to relax and just enjoy the moment with your loved ones, family and friends.
