We spent an afternoon in Shercon Resort and Ecology Park in Batangas, the rate is P 250.00/person for a day tour even if you're not going to swim.

For kids at 4-7 years old - P 150.00


This place is probably familiar to you already since this went viral in Facebook for a while. The resort is on a hilly part of Mataas na Kahoy.

It's a good thing that the parking is scattered around the resort so going to one pool to the other isn't much of a problem if you have your own car; and there are also shuttles that you can ride although we had a hard time finding one since they were all used by the people who are doing ocular inspections.

If all else fails, you can just walk around like we did. Though walking is definitely not recommended to the elderly --- na mabilis na sumakit ang tuhod.



Note: I don't have photos of all the swimming pools. I was only able to swim at the pocket pools and the infinity pool.

These pocket pools are, I think, the most famous out of all the pools there but don't expect much 'cause aside from the aesthetics, each pocket isn't big enough to be able to swim in.. parang pinalaking bath tub lang ganern.



This is perfect for people na gusto lang maglublob.


Those are some of the cabins if you're thinking of staying overnight. We waited for the shuttle at this part but couldn't ride one so we opted to walk uphill. Not a problem for me since I'm into these things but my companions did have a difficult time though. 


There's a lap pool there where the lady wearing white shirt is standing at. 





We had to walk along this hanging bridge 'cause the way going back to the infinity pool area from the pocket pools is long if we weren't going to take this shortcut.

By the way, there are also a maze, wall climbing and rapelling near this area.


I miss mountain climbing.
I definitely do. 


Actually, it's not the pools that made me like this resort but the "ecology park" Have I told you that they also have a strawberry farm here?

Love this!!!




The cliff below is quite high but don't worry since the hanging bridge is sturdy.




This is where we spend majority of time especially because it the deepest pool they have. Aura na lang sa pic, beshy para mukha talagang infinity kapag nasa tubig ka na. 






One of their many pavilions/halls you can rent for a private event.


<3

Garden wedding, anyone? I've found a good spot for yah.


If you're the type of person who loves hanging out with people who love to swim, this is the perfect place for you. :))) Hahaha!

I enjoyed the time when I wasn't swimming more than I was since the entire place is a real beauty. As in. You'd feel relaxed even by just walking around the whole resort, granted that it isn't very packed with people.


Day tours are from 8 AM to 5 PM. 
We didn't rent a cottage so we had our things we had all the time. Lagay mo lang sa gilid at palaging tignan. hehe!

Esther's Beach Resort, Nasugbu, Batangas



We wanted to go to a beach overnight trip but we're on a very limited budget. Hence, Nasugbu, Batangas.


It was still summertime then that all resorts we tried to contact in other towns of Batangas were fully booked so we settled with Esther. "Basta may dagat at pool," we said.




Going there, we rode a bus to Nasugbu in DLTB Terminal in Taft, then tricycle to Esther. It was kind of far since the bus passes through Cavitex and would stop to pick passengers up but the travel time was bearable, took us 2-3 hours.







Esther doesn't have restaurants so it's a good thing that we ate at the fastfood before going there. We also didn't have junkfood nor drinks with us, good thing there was a sari-sari store across the street. Where we bought bottled waters, chips and... beer. haha. It was also where we had breakfast the next day.


Pool was not that big but we didn't have other guests swimming with us that time so it was like a private pool.




Esther beach resort was clean and somehow well maintained. Only had they have some dogs roaming around and some are kind of aggressive so careful to those who are afraid of dogs.

Definitely not bad for the price we paid, though I already forgot how much was it.













Sarap naman ng sizzling bangus sa dagat. Yummm. Charot




I've been to a lot of beautiful and clean beaches so eventhough it was Nasugbu beach that I had my first beach trip more than a decade ago, it didn't make the cut this time. We only swam there for like 20 minutes and left for the pool because it was dirty, it felt too dirty.



Dun mo pwedeng kantahin 'yung kanta ni Manny Villar na, "Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura?"



If you bathe here with a white tshirt, don't expect a white tshirt when you leave the beach. Yes. That dirty.


I've blogged about the beaches in Cavite and Zambales, you may refer to those too.














There was only one restaurant in the area because the fastfoods are still a tricycle away.




"Kainan sa Dalampasigan"

In all fairness, the food were good and the interior of the restaurants were as well. It's a mix of a garden and rustic setting.

When we got back to the resort, we were hoping to drink beer by the shore. Inpired by "I'm drunk, I love you" but they had to lock the gate so we had no choice but to stay inside the resort.






Since Nasugbu's beach didn't satisfy our need for Vitamin Sea, we decided to take the boat ride to the nearest cove - the Kawayan Cove a.k.a the fallback/ the redeeming beach of all who were disappointed by Nasugbu. Lol.






We were told that there are corals and snorkeling site in this cove but didn't find one. Maybe in the farther areas 'cause all I saw were plastics. :(




May leeg ako.












Compared to Nasugbu's coastline, it was definitely a lot more beautiful and cleaner though there were still garbages around.





Entrance is free but that doesn't mean that there's no need for maintenance.




So there, head for Kawayan Cove or better yet, the locals were talking about Papaya Cove. Just go there for a more beautiful beach experience, para hindi ka naman maligo sa dagat ng basura.


Hope that they salvage the place before it gets totally destroyed by trash.
