After hours of finding haven to unwind ourselves in, passing through twists and turns... going back and forth the roads of Batangas, our mischance brought us to a secluded nest in Calatagan, Batangas - the Villa Agustina Resort.
The resort is of average expanse, great for private and family getaways. At the entrance is a spacious garden in front of a white, I think four story lodge house. I am not so sure about the attributes of the house because we didn't came in. We went directly to the backyard where we went down a classic, concrete stairway with another duplex access leading to the jacuzzi and pool, and to the cottages beside the beach. The ground floor of the house, which also serves as entrance to the cottages, also features a spacious function room with videoke for corporate/special events.
The resort was not in order. It seems that everything was not in its proper places, maybe because it's not the peak of the season, and there are no visitors except my and another family who was a guest of the Barangay Captain. The beach was messy due to low-tide condition of the sea, corals and seaweeds are everywhere on the shore. Though, the place was a feel-good-feel-free refuge for somebody who spends 24-hours a day and 7-days a week in a fast paced, stressful, polluted environment of Manila. And the biggest catch? It was where Abs-Cbns' Marina took shoots of their primetime teleserye.
I won't say much about the feelings I had when I was there. I just want to share the place for the benefit of those who are looking for a private holiday within the bounds of CALABARZON. I'm sorry if I may not be able to provide the exact location or contact details of the resort. We had a limited time, and we only got to stay for a packaged amount.
