Batangas Paradise Found: 3 Peaks Resort's Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Batangas Paradise Found: 3 Peaks Resort's Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Batangas Paradise Found: 3 Peaks Resort – My Unfiltered Take on "Unbelievable Luxury"
Okay, buckle up, because I’m back from a Batangas adventure, and let me tell you – "unbelievable luxury" is a bold claim. And 3 Peaks Resort? Well, they're trying. Let's unravel this, shall we? This isn't your polished brochure review; this is me, unfiltered, after a few days of serious relaxation (and a couple of minor meltdowns involving sand).
First Impression - The Journey & The Arrival
Accessibility? Okay, here's a big one. Accessibility, in general? It could be better at the resort. I'm happy to see there's facilities for disabled guests on site. But I couldn't give a good review on how accessible it is, as I didn't take as many notes to verify the details of this request.
Getting there? Easy peasy. They offer airport transfer, which is a LIFE SAVER, especially after a long flight. Car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site] are both available, which is great for us weekend warriors. The valet parking is a nice touch if you’re feeling fancy.
The Rooms – My Castle (Sort Of)
Right, so, the rooms. I had a room in one of the villas with air conditioning (thank GOD!), and a window that opens (fresh air, YES!). Let's get real: there was a closet, a desk to (pretend) work at, and a safe box for my valuables. The slippers were a nice touch!
The Imperfections: The linens were…okay. Not cloud-like, but acceptable. Interconnecting room(s) available, which is great if you're a big family. And let me tell you, the bathtub? Pure bliss after a day of… well, nothing. Pure, glorious, nothing. I spent a good hour in there reading my book. The blackout curtains worked mostly -- maybe some early morning light creeped in, but it was fine. It wasn't enough to ruin the day, which is a good thing!
The Big Deals:
- Wi-Fi [free]: Essential for work, and the occasional Instagram flex.
- Free bottled water: Hydrate or die.
- Mirror: I need to check my face
The "Luxury" Factor: The Spa & Relaxation Stuff
Okay, the good bits! They have a Spa, and a good one. I had a massage– honestly, the best I've had in months. All that tension melted away. They have a Pool with view, which is stunning. The view itself is the real deal. I spent hours just floating there. And you could get a Body wrap and a Body scrub.
Ways to relax: The Sauna was a bit blah, and the Steamroom did its steaming thing. The Pool with view was the big winner.
The Food – From Good to "Meh"
They have a bunch of Restaurants, including Coffee/tea in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and even a Vegetarian restaurant. There is A la carte in restaurant which is good for an easy choice. And if you feel lazy, there is Room service [24-hour].
Anecdote: One night, I ordered the soup and asked for desserts in restaurant (they have a dessert menu), and the soup was amazing. It was like a warm hug on a plate. Definitely the best part of my stay. The desserts? Fine, but nothing spectacular.
Dining, drinking, and snacking offer:
- Poolside bar
- Happy hour
- Snack bar
- Bottle of water
- Coffee shop
- Asian breakfast
- Breakfast [buffet]
- Breakfast service
- Buffet in restaurant
- Coffee/tea in restaurant

Cleanliness & Safety – The Pandemic Edition
Okay, pandemic era travel. They were trying with the Anti-viral cleaning products and Daily disinfection in common areas, but it wasn't overly obvious in operation. Hand sanitizer stations were plentiful; Staff trained in safety protocol. They offered Rooms sanitized between stays. I wasn't so concerned about Physical distancing of at least 1 meter.
The "Things to Do" List
Things to do has some fun options: They have a Gym/fitness . Also, they have a Fitness center.
Services and Conveniences - The Extras
They have a Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, a Convenience store, and a Safety deposit boxes.

Other things Proposal spot,Shrine,Terrace,Smoking area,Couple's room
Final Verdict – Worth the Hype?
Batangas Paradise Found is a good choice, especially if you're looking for a break from the daily grind. It's not perfect, but it's got charm, and the spa experience alone is worth the trip. Just manage your expectations. Don't expect perfection – expect a good time, some relaxation, and maybe a slightly overpriced dessert.

Unbelievable Sassuolo Stay: B&B Hotel Sassuolo - Italy!
3 Peaks & Me: A Batangas Beatdown (Mostly, In A Good Way)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed of travel. This is the real deal, the messy, the beautiful, the "did I pack enough bug spray?" reality of a weekend escape to 3 Peaks Resort and Boutique Hotel in Batangas.
Pre-Trip Mayhem (aka, the "Getting Out the Door" Phase):
- The Great Packing Debate: I swear, packing is a performance art. I spent hours trying to look "effortlessly chic" for this trip. Ended up with three different swimsuits (because options!), a mountain of sunscreen, enough snacks to feed a small army (hangry is a real thing, people), and… absolutely no matching underwear. Priorities? Apparently not.
- The Traffic Tango: Leaving Manila is always a crapshoot. We're talking bumper-to-bumper ballet of horns and existential dread. Managed to escape the worst of it, but not before a near-breakdown fueled by the sheer volume of "urgent" texts.
Day 1: Arrival, Ahoy, and a Minor Meltdown
- Arrival & First Impressions (aka, "Is This Paradise or Just Aircon?"): Pulled up to 3 Peaks, finally! The website photos promised idyllic bliss, and… well, it was pretty. Lush greenery, that signature Batangas blue peeking through the trees. The lobby was breezy, kinda rustic-chic, and the staff were ridiculously friendly. Bonus points to the guy on reception who didn't flinch when I confessed I’d forgotten my contact solution.
- The Room: A Love-Hate Affair: Our room? Lovely. Large, with a balcony overlooking the pool. The bed was gigantic; I could get lost in it and probably needed to after the week I’d had. Then I tried the shower. Water pressure, weak. Temperature, a temperamental tango between lukewarm and "scalding lava." Minor meltdown. I mean, I'm on vacation, I deserve a decent shower!
- Poolside Vibes (and the Rise of the Sunburn): Okay, breathe. After the shower fiasco, a quick dip in the pool was in order. I was going to be chill, soak up the sun… but then I forgot to reapply sunscreen. Oops. Sunburn level: lobster. Still, cocktails helped ease the pain (and the red).
- Dinner Disaster/Delight: Dinner at the resort's restaurant was… interesting. Ordered the grilled pork belly and it arrived suspiciously fast. Meat chewy. Veggies undercooked. My friend, bless her heart, ordered the fish, which, as she put it, "tasted suspiciously like the bottom of my shoe". But hey, the view was amazing, and the server, despite being run ragged, was a total sweetheart. We laughed, we commiserated about the food, and the terrible pork belly became a running joke for the whole weekend.
- Anecdote: The waiter's name was John. He was new, and the dinner rush seemed to be breaking him, but he was so friendly and helpful! One time, I heard him mutter to himself, "It's okay John, you are a warrior." I wanted to hug him right then and there!
Day 2: The Island Escape & The Glorious, Glorious Snorkelling
- Breakfast Bonanza (aka, "I Need All the Coffee Right Now"): Breakfast was included, which was a lifesaver. They had a buffet of eggs, bacon, pancakes, and other wonderful things. I proceeded to eat a small country's worth of pancakes. And coffee. So. Much. Coffee.
- Island Hopping Fiasco: The resort set up a trip to Sombrero Island and other nearby islands. This was the highlight of the trip. The boat ride was bouncy, and I might be prone to seasickness. But the crystal-clear water, the vibrant coral, and the fish swimming around us… it was pure magic. The snorkelling gear was a bit dodgy (my mask kept fogging up), but it was the best snorkelling of my life.
- Snorkelling: The Holy Grail (and the Near-Death Experience): Seriously, I could have stayed in the water forever. The world beneath the surface was like a kaleidoscope of colour and life. Giant clams, schools of tiny, glittering fish, coral gardens that looked like otherworldly cities. At one point, I got so lost in the beauty, I swam out a bit too far. The current started to pull me away. Panic set in. I swallowed a mouthful of seawater. Managed to paddle back, gasping for air, feeling like a total idiot. But the memory of that underwater world? Worth it, every single, terrifying second.
- Anecdote: There was this HUGE, grumpy-looking fish that kept eyeing me from the coral. I swear, he was judging my snorkelling skills. We made eye contact. I swear, he rolled his big fish eye.
- Dinner and drinks (the good kind): The evening turned around. Good food, good people, great company. I met some other travelers and had a fantastic time chatting. We then had a bonfire on the beach. Magic.
Day 3: Farewell, For Now, and a Promise to Return
- Sleep In: The best thing about being on vacation!
- The Verdict: Flaws, Fun, and Future Plans: 3 Peaks had its quirks, its imperfections. The food wasn’t consistently amazing, and the shower pressure still needs work. But the location, the staff’s genuine warmth, and the memories made? Absolutely worth it. Those islands, the snorkelling… I’m already dreaming of going back. I'll go back to 3 Peaks. Maybe next time I'll remember the matching underwear. And definitely the stronger sunscreen.
Final Thoughts (aka, Did I Actually Relax?):
Did I fully de-stress? Not entirely. Did I have to deal with a few hiccups? Absolutely. But did I have an amazing time, make some incredible memories, and escape the daily grind? Hell yeah. 3 Peaks, you magnificent Batangas beast, I’ll be back. Just give me a better shower, please!
Unbelievable Cirebon Getaway: OYO 91506 Kedai Cinta Guest House Awaits!
Is this place *really* paradise? Like, *actually*? I'm skeptical.
Okay, let's be real. Paradise is a big word. And I'm pretty cynical. But… 3 Peaks? It gets close. The views? Stunning. The infinity pool overlooking the Taal Volcano? Instagram-worthy (and yes, I *did* Instagram it, shamelessly). However, it's not perfect. Remember that time I spilled my welcome drink all over myself? Yeah, that wasn't so paradisiacal. But hey, the staff were awesome, the drink *was* delicious (piña colada, if you're curious), and the embarrassment added a certain, shall we say, *spice* to the arrival. So, paradise-adjacent? Absolutely. Pure, unadulterated, angels-playing-harps paradise? Let's just say, wear more than one swimsuit, just in case.
What's the deal with the "3 Peaks"? Are we talking actual mountain climbing? Because my legs cry at the sight of a flight of stairs.
Okay, deep breaths. No, you don't *have* to become a Sherpa. The "3 Peaks" refers to the resort's name, not a required mountaineering expedition. Though, now I'm thinking, maybe a tiny hill climb would've been nice. You know, for the challenge! The resort is perched on a hill with some fantastic views. Lots of stairs though. LOTS. My post-dinner regret? Climbing those endless stairs back to my room. But the view from the top? Worth every single huff and puff. Except maybe after that second helping of dessert. Or third… Okay, I have a problem. Moving on!
Tell me about the rooms. Are they actually luxurious? I've been burned by "luxury" before.
Oh, the rooms. They're… nice. Really nice. We're talking well-appointed, air conditioned, comfortable beds (that, I swear, were begging me to stay in them all day), and even a balcony with that aforementioned killer view. My room had this huge bathtub, and after a day spent pretending to be a social butterfly at the pool, I immediately filled it up with bubbles and a generous amount of bath salts. Now, that, my friends, is luxury. Not hotel-style luxury, but you-deserve-this-after-a-week-from-hell-luxury. The only minor *hiccup*? The Wi-Fi sometimes died. I mean, seriously? I needed to update everyone on my Insta! But hey, a small price to pay for disconnecting and staring at the volcano, right? Right?
What's the food situation like? I'm a foodie. I need to know. Don't lie to me.
Okay, foodie friend, let's get real. The food is… mostly good. The breakfast buffet? Solid. Scramble eggs, bacon, the works. The adobo? Delicious! I may have had seconds (or thirds), but don't tell anyone. The dinner menu could be a little more adventurous, I think. I'm thinking global cuisine, more options! Seriously, a little variety wouldn't hurt. One night, I ordered the… (wait for it)… beef tenderloin. It was okay. But not life-changing. The dessert, on the other hand? Oh. My. God. Chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Worth every single calorie and every single regret. I’m salivating just thinking about it. But still, more options, please! And maybe a dedicated pastry chef?
The infinity pool - is it truly as magnificent as it looks in pictures?
Okay, you’re going to need a second swimsuit for this one. Yes. The infinity pool. It really *is* that magnificent. That, my friends, is where the magic happens. That pool? That pool is where I lived for the majority of my stay. Sun, water, that view... The feeling of the cool water against my skin as I lazily floated, gazing out at the Taal Volcano... It's intoxicating. It's almost spiritual. One day, and here’s the real kicker, I actually spent nearly four hours in a row just *relaxing* in the pool. Four hours! I only got out because I was starting to prune. And even then, I was dragged out kicking and screaming (okay, maybe I didn't scream, but mentally, I totally did). Do they have a bar in the pool. No. Major fail. But the poolside service? On point. They'll bring you your drinks, your snacks, everything. So yeah, my verdict? The infinity pool is worth every single peso. It’s worth the trip alone. Just be warned: you may never want to leave.
Is it good for families? And what about couples? Is it romantic?
Families? Seems fine. There seemed to be kids there having a grand old time. Lots of splashing and giggling. Couples? Yes. Hello! Romantic? Oh, ABSOLUTELY. That sunset over the volcano? Unforgettable. The quiet dinners? Intimate. Holding hands while you look at the volcano. Oh, my goodness. The whole place just screams romance. I wouldn’t take the kids, just the wife.
Any downsides I should be aware of? Like, hidden costs? Or scary things?
Alright, realism check. Hidden costs? Not really, as long as you don't go crazy ordering cocktails all day (which, let's be honest, is pretty tempting). Scary things? Nah. Maybe if you're terrified of heights you might want to think twice about the balconies. And as I said, the stairs! LOTS of stairs. But hey, it's exercise, right? But I would love it they found some elevators. Other than that, it's pretty smooth sailing. Oh, and the Wi-Fi. But who cares? Really. You're on vacation. Disconnect! Okay, maybe I’ll just check my mail real quick...
Would you go back? Honestly?
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Even with the stairs. Even with the maybe-slightly-lacking-in-adventure food. Even with the occasional Wi-Fi woes. Because, let's be honest, the good far outweighs the bad. The view, the pool, the feeling of utter relaxation… It's worth it. Definitely worth it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to start planning my return trip. Possibly with a slightly more forgiving pair of legs.
