Initially, my husband and I were planning to go to a different place but our resort of choice was fully booked at that time. So we hunted for a resort just a few hours from Manila. This was also not our original choice because I find it a little pricey (not within our budget to be exact) but we decided to give it a try because it looks good in pictures. And I am so glad my husband convinced me to have this one instead. The place is nice and quiet, you will definitely feel relaxed. We got the premier room and to our surprised, it is big for a couple a nice, well maintained, clean functioning bathroom! It has a nice pool and little jacuzzi where you can stay and feel relaxed while looking at the beach or watching the sunset. Plus the staff are polite and accomodating.

There last May 12 to 13, and it was as usual a drive much worth it. Nearer than Laiya our favorite beach go-to, and just besides Nasugbu is Lian where Matabunkay beach is situated.

The resort is not that big but being owned by an Aussie who lives on the property the place is as nice as it should. We checked in and were shown our room, but the wife noticed thw room wasn’t the one she booked. We were informed that we were moved to another room for the A/C was broken and not workin well. But we insisted so got that said room which is by the beach( actually 20 mtrs to the beach). The quantity of rooms and guests were well balanced, checking the parking lot which was full you didn’t feel crowded, not at all.
There’s a small pool (which the filters could have been set to filter to keep it clean)and a jacuzzi asides from the beach of course. Food ain’t included but was well worth it for a serving is enough for two. Rooms were well maintained (asides from the A/C which was stuck at a single speed) but with a ceiling fan was enough to cool al of us down when it got too hot and as we slept.
Im assuming it’s a nice diving spot but you may need a separate trip to take you to deeper water for at low tide, water barely went up my knee at 30 m from the shore.
Overall, everything was just right. Price, good food, nice room and everything else in between, not 5 star but on a budget well enough. As we left, the Aussie owner happened to be there and sent us off.(Staff said he’s actually the son who took over qhen he passed).

Arrived at the resort at 12 noon after navigating the traffic from Nasugbu to Lian, Lunch was simply good and dining hall reserved for us was comfortable with big TV screen and good enough for seminars. It was too hot to swim so we stayed in the room until 4PM, went out to book for boats for the ff day, Swam in the pool - water was hot too from sun.
Hope they have canopy for the pool to maximize time at pool . Also some leaves and burnt embers were flying at some time. Beach was too crowded by Sunday noontime. People can rent floating cottages and crowded the beach , seems like no designated swimming area. Boating and snorkeling to watch fishes and corals were nice though.
