Canyon Cove in Batangas

This year we discovered a tropical community cradled with lush forest landscaping. The place that our STI Education Services Group chose for this year's company outing is the CANYON COVE in Nasugbu Batangas. It is a one and a half hour ride from Manila, roughly around 120 kilometers from our house in Quezon City. It is just 30 minutes from Tagaytay city.

The pool is big and can fit in at least 400 people at the same time. In the middle there are visible lines that you can use if you want to have a swimfest. For me what made it all the more relaxing were the seats provided at the middle of the pool. I enjoy just sitting around and relaxing and then take the occasional swim from one point to another.

The rooms are clean and can easily fit three people at a time. The beds are big and there is an extra portion of the room where you can relax and transpose into a bed in the evening. The view of the pool and the beach is great from the veranda. Cable Television is provided and the bathroom has a separate shower room and bath tub in it.

Mediterranean inspired Villas are also being rented out while the restaurants area scattered all over. For companies holding their outings this place is perfect for groups from 100- even 300 people. The rooms can fit 3 people and the variety of the rooms are seem to be quite exciting since there are other rooms that have a kitchen and sala inside. There are various places to have lunch or dinner since they have function rooms that can fit abig group.

The facilities are great and so is the price. Obviously its a beach resort that is quite expensive and most of the amenities are above middle class standards. At first, we from STI are happy for the experience of being in a first class resort, but going back to this resort for personal reasons will not be my priority, there are a lot more inexpensive resorts with the same facilities.
