Holiday at Acuaverde

Its holiday and its Labor Day! I am one of those escaping the metro for a quick getaway. I initially planned to book Sabangan Beach Resort because its cheaper compared to other resorts within the shoreline of Laiya Batangas but unfortunately its already fully booked on Labor day. I searched for other resorts and found Blue Coral, Acuatico and Acuaverde and immediately inquired for room availability.Among the three we ended up booking Acuaverde because of the positive reviews online and affordable price.

The staff at the reception area shortly brief us when we arrived. We didn't have to register since we did an online booking. We just sign the papers and were given our room keys. The resort also offered welcome drinks upon arrival. The boyfriend is raving about the tamarind juice! Its cold, sweet and give you a splash taste of natural tamarind.

I read online that the owner of Acuatico is the same as that of Acuaverde and they are only renting out the area for Acuaverde. I prefer Acuaverde because of its greenery feel. A lot of trees surrounds the rooms and giving shade along the resort. Pets are also allowed for a minimal fee.

The amount you pay for room already comes with full board meals Dinner, Breakfast and  Lunch. We got the arrival lunch since we arrived early at the resort. Excited lang😃 They allowed us to check in early at 12PM. The buffet style lunch was set up at Cocina restaurant overlooking the beach.

You also have the option to order from the ala carte menu. For those coffee lovers, brewed coffee☕ is available all day.

I was actually expecting for the beach to be rocky but its different.The beach along Acuaverde is not that rocky. Although the sand is not that fine compared to Boracay, the water is clean and clear. You can walk along the beach without hurting your feet. I didn't even have to use aqua shoes.The resort offered a free kayak you can use and enjoy. There's always a guard on the look out for safety.

Guard on the look out! 👀

The next day, I got up early to make sure I can catch the sunrise. It's wonderful! I wish I had better lens to capture its beauty. I only have my iphone unfortunately🙈
