Residencia de Riego & Resort is a new getaway place located in Alitagtag, Batangas. I must say that I liked its facilities and it's child-friendly. I actually had a favorite spot there. It's the lifeguard post. A very beach-y style.

I had my sis and her friends' photos taken at the spot and I so love the result. Especially since I'm using my younger sis' Sony DSC T90.
Another thing that caught my interest are the kubo villas. We were there for a day tour so we didn't avail of such. But I'm glad our cottage is near some of them so I had the liberty to take shots and have pictures taken with it as a background.

It has capiz window and a wooden door which I find charming. And the bench too. I opted to request for an ocular inside but almost all the villas were occupied so I brushed away the idea.

The resort management allows bringing of food without any corkage fees. But they have their own resto which by the way exudes Pinoy style. Actually, the facilities are made very Pinoy.

And don't you worry about the fees because they're affordable. For day tour package, entrance fee is P200 (adult) and P150 (children). Cottage is P1,500. If you opted for an overnight stay, you can avail of affordable rooms too depending on the no. of persons. And the chance to enjoy the pool lights and band entertainment.

How to get there:
(by commute)
1) ride the bus en route Calabarzon-Batangas City pier. There are terminals of different bus operators i. e. Ceres, JAM and ALPS in Cubao-ALI MALL, Kamias and Buendia-LRT. Turbina bus stop is also an alternative. Your drop off point is Diversion. From there, you'll take jeepney bound for Lemery. Just inform the driver your stop is Riego. From the highway, it's walking distance. But if you don't prefer walking, you have an option to alight at Muzon, Alitagtag (it's a junction after Riego) and ride a tricycle to the resort.
2) option to ride bus bound for Lemery. Alight at Muzon, Alitagtag. From there, take a jeepney either bound for Bauan or Batangas City or a tricycle. Again just tell the driver to drop you off at Riego.

wow, i love the kubo villa photo. this sounds like a really nice place to just relax.
ReplyDeleteI wanna have a house like this Kayni. Cute and cozy. :) Sayang nga lang di ko nakita loob. Perhaps next time.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept, especially the kubo villa. I bet it's hard to maintain though.
ReplyDeleteI was interested in knowing who designed the resort but never got the urge to ask the operations manager. Yes, it looks like there'll be a high maintenance needed.

DeleteWe hope you'll enjoy it ther as much as we did! :)
hi! do you know how to get there by car?
ReplyDeletehi camiyana! to go there by private car, take slex. After the slex toll plaza, go straight ahead passing thru calamba-sto tomas tollway. Note that at Calamba exit on the right, you will be seeing a signage To Batangas. Ignore this because you can simply take Calamba-Sto. tomas tollway which will lead you to Star tollway. Take Lipa exit. Turn left after the tollgate. Go straight ahead until you reach Banaybanay junction. This is roughly 4kms from the star toll lipa exit, & you will also see a signage that says To Lemery / To Cuenca. Go straight following the main road. You will pass through Banaybanay and Cuenca and finally Alitagtag. You will then pass through Pinagkrusan and Alitagtag town proper. From the town proper, follow the main road and you will then reach Muzon. That's roughly 3kms. Turn left at Muzon & head straight to Residencia De Riego.
DeleteThank you Anonymous for the direction details. :)
