Batangas : Ligpo Island Hotel and Resort

For our third anniversary, hubby and I decided to visit a tiny island in Batangas, Ligpo. This is a good place for relaxing, bonding, snorkeling or diving for only P1200 per person per night with full board accommodation. Not Bad. 

To reach Ligpo, we took a van going to Lemery via Tagaytay below the LRT Gil Puyat Station. It's in the RRCG terminal afront JAC Liner terminal. The fare costs P180 each. We reached Lemery after 3 hours and took a tricycle going to Ligpo Parking Lot for P100, but if you are good in haggling, you can get it for only P70. A boat was waiting for us in Ligpo Parking lot to transport us for 10 minutes to the Island. 

There are twelve rooms offered with two double beds and a private bath (Cold shower only). The hotel looks pretty old so as the room due to lack of maintenance. There is no TV or airconditioning, just electric fans, but that's okay, there is really no need because the room has huge windows and the wind is cold at night.

We went ahead and tried snorkeling. We rented snorkeling set and life vest for P150. Diving gears are also available. When we were done snorkeling, we checked out the Island.

The meal was served generously. Hubby and I received a meal that's good for 3-4 persons. You have to tell the caretaker the time you'd like to eat so they can prepare the food in advance. And yes, though nothing special with the type of food, but really they tastes good.

Unfortunately, it was raining the whole day the following day because of the typhoon. We checked out at 2PM before the current gets too strong and took the same route back to Manila. 

Though we weren't able to spend more time swimming and snorkeling because of the bad weather, I had quality time with my hubby. It opened my interest in snorkeling and decided that this is what I want to do with my next travels. Lastly, the whole idea of spending the night in an island was fun.
