It is known for its centuries-old churches, irresistible delicacies, the Taal Volcano, a strong accent, the balisong, and beaches. And in the midst of a global pandemic where travels are strictly limited to local destinations, it’s never a more perfect time to pay Batangas a visit if you’re just from around Metro Manila. 

To fully experience the sights and activities, it is advisable to stay overnight than brave the late afternoon or early evening traffic along SLEX. There are literally dozens of accommodations to choose from in Batangas and it can be a tad overwhelming if you don’t know where to start.

To give you a starting point, we have prepared a shortlist of the top bang-for-your-buck resorts in the province, at no particular order.

As always, it is worth noting that traveling in groups (at least four) will bring your expenses down without sacrificing comfort and style. Don’t forget to bring your reliable travel credit card with you and always be on the lookout for promos. Lastly, the off-season is always recommended.
