What are your accommodation options? A beach resort in Batangas is a good bet if you’re looking for a simple and hassle-free way to enjoy the limited days of your vacation. After all, the sea is one of the main reasons Batangas is such an in-demand vacation spot for tourists. You might want to check out Pico de Loro Cove and its hotel, Pico Sands Hotel.
The name “Pico de Loro” might sound familiar - Mount Pico de Loro is one of the most trekked mountains in Luzon and is accessible for amateur and expert mountaineering enthusiasts alike. It is most popular for its Parrot’s Beak or Monolith formation, which is a vertical cliff that offers a complete bird’s-eye view of the surrounding environs.
Pico de Loro Cove is situated in Nasugbu, Batangas. Beach resort Pico Sands Hotel stands 7 storeys high and has 154 hotel rooms on offer, allowing you ultimate leisure and relaxation time with your loved ones. If you are a member or guest of the Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club, you’re in luck as Pico Sands Hotel also caters to these groups.
Choose between Mountain Views or Lagoon Views for your room accommodation. Stunning views abound whether you stay in a Superior Room or a Penthouse Loft Room. Feel at peace as each room is bathed in muted whites and creams as well as beautiful wooden desks and side tables to emulate the beauty of nature.
Various activities can also be done within the area of the hotel. Enjoy Mediterranean cuisine at the Pico Restaurant and Bar or savor tasty grilled food at the Reef Bar. Have a massage to soothe your tired body and calm down frayed nerves at the aptly-named Rain Spa.
For those who want to venture further outdoors, try kayaking and pony riding, go on a Mangrove Tour, or visit the Santelmo Eco Trail. There are always more things to try out for both adventurous and leisurely types at Pico de Loro Cove.
