VILLAS BY ECO HOTEL: Travel Guide To A Relaxing Resort In Batangas

The Stunning Views – Taal Lake is without a doubt a beauty to behold. In Villas By Eco Hotel, you get a front row seat to marvel at this stunner unobstructed. Bask at the spectacular view by the pool or while leisurely eating a meal. You’ll never run out of beautiful scenery as you can also see them while you relax in your bedroom.

Spacious And Gorgeous Rooms – This was the first time I had spent P5000 for a night in a resort since I’m much of a cheapskate but I didn’t have any regrets. The room we had was more than worth it. It has a king size bed fronting a veranda overlooking Taal Lake. The interiors were beautiful. The bathroom was posh and clean. Overall, the room has a cozy and homey vibe to it which is perfect for a relaxing stay.

Great Amenities – The resort has a moderate size infinity pool overlooking Taal Lake. The pool benches, dining and the living set were made of native materials and are conveniently situated by the pool area. Everything about them exudes elegance and beauty unique only to resorts within the tropics.

Sumptuous Food – The resort has its own restaurant that serves tasty food. They come in big servings at an affordable price. Their menu ranges from Filipino staples to a fusion of some foreign cuisines.

Accessibility & Exclusivity – The resort is situated in an isolated place but is still accessible to public transpo. There’s hardly any other establishments around. It offers tranquility at best. Owing to its not-so-popular status, guests are pretty limited. So if you hate the crowd and wants some place quiet, this would be it.

Environmentally Friendly – Among all the awesome things about this resort, being compassionate to the environment is what I admire most. They have kept the trees and built the resort around them. The floors were made of recycled hardwood. They discouraged the use of plastic and had the shower essentials in big reusable containers. Even the disposable toothbrushes were made of bamboo. Now that’s just exceptional, isn’t it?

• Bookings can be done via their website but I do also suggest that you do it via Agoda as the rates can be cheaper there during sale.
• For those bringing their car, the roads leading to the resort are pretty straightforward. The resort also has spacious parking area.
• Mobile signal is scarce but the resort has wifi connection.
• The resort is open for day tour but booking must be made first prior to visit. For more details, you can visit their website or call 8881 5318 | 8881 5319.
• If you took public transpo to go there, you can ask the driver to come pick you up the next day. If you didn’t do so, the resort staff can call a local tric driver for you.
• Surrounding the resort is a bird sanctuary where you can bird watch. There’s a binocular provided in each room which you could use.
• Smoking is prohibited inside the resort premises but a smoking area is provided outside.

Public Transpo – From Buendia/Cubao station, ride a bus bound for Lipa (2Hrs ; P150). Alight the bus in Tambo Exit then ride a jeep going to Mataas Na Kahoy (15Min ; P10). From there, hire a tricycle to take you to The Villas By Ecohotel (P10Min ; P100). Note that the locals is more familiar to the resort when you tell them “Eco Hotel.”

Private Vehicles – You can simply use Waze or Google.
