Balay Laiya in San Juan Batangas, Revisited

After a stressful two weeks, what a way to unwind, relax and  spend sometime with the family but a quick trip to the beach. You don’t have to go Boracay to enjoy the sand, the cool waters, and even just the smell of sweet air. You can enjoy it just by driving around 3 hours from Manila heading towards the quiet town of San Juan in Batangas, where Balay Laiya is located.The first time we went here was January 2008. Less than a year had passed and Balay Laiya is still the quaint and serene beach resort that it is.  The water is still clear and very few people still go there.

The sand although not as white as those in Boracay is still pristine.

My favorite spot in Laiya. Reminds me of that grotto in Boracay.

The bancas are still there.

Nothing beats the blue skies and the pristine white clouds. Makes you forget  the stress of city life.
