I ♥ Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon 03/13/2011

 
Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon


Batis Aramin Resort, Hotel and Adventure Camp is just one of the few resorts near my hometown Tayabas, Quezon. We went there when we visited the well-known Catholic Pilgrimage site called “Kamay ni Hesus” which lies on the foot of Mt. Banahaw last 2011. You won't be lost to find the place because it is just on the other side of the popular retreat camp Kamay ni Hesus which is located in Malupak, Lucban Quezon.
We don't have enough money to pay the 100 pesos entrance fee but because we wanted to explore the place we just made an alibi to the security personnel that we just wanted to do an ocular visit and see if we wanted to stay. The security personnel was very kind and he let the 5 of us enter the vicinity we just left our ID's for record updating. 
There were a lot of guess that time. I saw a lot of private cars with LaSalle University stickers probably they rented the place for retreat. I never expected the resort to be so beautiful and picturesque. Although this place is located nowhere near a beach, the wonderful landscape, elegant cottages and pools makes this equally a relaxing place to have your summer adventure. 
Batis Aramin has a lot of fully air conditioned rooms and cottages, too many to mention. Ranging from a double occupancy attic room (PhP1,200) to a 26 capacity Amihan Hall (PhP11,000). Aside from the pools, Batis Aramin also has an adventure camp that allows a wide range of group activities like climbing the rappel wall, enjoying the zip-line, fishing and boating, riding a bike and playing in their basketball and badminton courts.

We wanted to swim in their pools but when we tried to dip our feet for temperature test and we weren't surprise to feel the ice cold water. The resort use the spring water coming from Mt. Banahaw just imagine taking a shower in Baguio City without using water heater.
The place is really big. The spaces between cottage houses, halls and pools are like two buildings apart from each other. If you're a type of person who enjoys walking then you'll fell in love with the place. The only advise that I could give is to bring everything that you need because the nearest convenience store is a kilometer away. Going to Batis Aramin is a good side trip if you are planning to go to Kamay ni Hesus and it's worth a visit.

How to get to "Batis Aramin" by commute:For typical commuters going to Kamay ni Hesus in Lucban Quezon, if you are from Manila, just take any Bus bound to Lucena at LRT Buendia Bus Terminal on Taft Avenue, Cubao Bus Terminal or Muntinlupa Alabang Bus Terminal. Until you reached Lucena Grand Central Terminal, transfer on a jeepney bound to Lucban and perch at the Kamay ni Hesus Shrine. Batis Aramin is on the other side of the Shrine.
How to get to " Batis Aramin " by driving or bringing own vehicle: 
From South Luzon Express way (SLEX) take Calamba exit, drive straight to Calamba city proper make a right turn at the junction. Again, drive straight on the highway passing by different town of Laguna, Los Banos, Bay, Victoria, Pila, Sta. Cruz and Pagsanjan. Until you reached Pagsanjan Church, make a right turn (Pagsanjan City Hall) heading to Luisiana town. Drive straight again towards Lucban, Quezon. Kamay ni Hesus shrine is highly visible large statue, more or less a kilometer away from Lucban town proper. Batis Aramin is on the other side of the Shrine.

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his...

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Image
Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou...

I ♥ Pundaquit Zambales 03/27/2011

Image
Pundaquit Beach Zambales Pundaquit, or Pandakit is in San Antonio Zambales, a small fishing village on an attractive bay with a long white sand beach. It is a small barrio next to a glorious South China Sea and surrounded by paramount mountains. It is home to many fishermen as several boats lined their beach. The sun was glaring as I tried to take in the striking surroundings. The beach was very clean, unlike some of Subic's beaches I visited before.   I was really confused if Cove and Island is the same but according to my research A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. So definitely, we are not going to ride a boat just to get there.  It took us four hour of bumpy ride to finally reach Subic Olongapo and another hour to get to San Antonio Zambales with just 2 hours of slow traffic and the difference is our total travel time. We don't...
