Aquaria Beach Resort: A Summer To Remember

   After a year and half of working as a virtual assistant, I finally decided to reward myself and do what I always wanted to do; travel! Together with my college friends and my partner, we headed to Coastall Mall (bus terminal) going to Calatagan, Batangas morning of June 25,2015. We were already sitting in the bus before 4AM and waiting for the bus to get fully loaded. We were lucky that day that we chanced upon a bus that goes directly to Calatagan so no need to get off the bus in Lian, Batangas and take a jeepney going to Calatagan Public Market.

It took us almost 4 hours to get to Aquaria Beach Resort but I can say that it was really worth it!
Address:
Brgy. Sta. Ana, Calatagan, Batangas



Entrance



      We just presented our voucher (we got a deal online for 20% for the entrance fee) and ID and staffs let us choose if we are going to use their cabana or just the tables and chairs at the beach area. We chose the latter since we're only 4 and it's only for 200php. We also rented their lockers for 150php so we can secure our gadgets and other stuff while swimming.



 Thumbs up for their shower room and restrooms! It was really well maintained. 
   
What a beautiful view!

Groupie!!

   If you're not a fan of swimming pools and want to relax in a more natural way,don't worry! Aquaria have something for you as well. You can go straight to their beach and enjoy.
