About This Blog
Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!

Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

The place has a long stretch of white sand, cut by a section of gray sand, with numerous resorts dotting the beach front.

anonymous, the caption says Laiya coco beach...it's the name of the resort. the rock formations belong to the public domain, it's at one end of the beach :P

There is this new resort thats called Les Caraibes Beach Resort. I think it's the best in San Juan right now. They have the best food cooked by a french chef and the price is 750 which is inclusive of breakfast lunch merienda and dinner. You can also order your food a la carte! The a la carte menu is cheaper than the 750 meal package which is awesome. The place is very spacious and very clean. I even got to drink with the chef and the owners who really enjoy their business and are not snubish like the other resort owners. check out their website www.lescaraibesresort.com

paolo, i haven't been to les caraibes resort but if it's in laiya, then the same directions going there for there's only one road

anonymous, at this time yes it's ok since it's off-peak. but i recommend calling them first or visiting their official websites for room rates and prices.

hello people,Laiya, san juan batangas is our haven to unwind and relax since we knew the place. laiya is much better than matabungkay and nasugbu. beach and water wise. actually, 3 yrs back, only a few resorts and few people knew about laiya. but now its getting to be crowded. Aquatica is the newest there and its NEW about 6 months old and category is 5 star i should say. rates and rooms wise. it has an infinity pool. stayed there last valentines day just for the occassion. but my regular place to stay is BALAI because its peaceful and its beach front.

HI guys, i've been to laiya recently... you may check out white cove resort (its right after kabayan resort) their smallest room with a/c is good for 4 pax (3,500/night). The resort is relatively new. very cozy and stylish (esp during evening). Its perfect for big groups and couples as well..there's no corkage fee if you bring in food or drinks.

the food was good too..you'll really know its fresh.
