(Weekend Getaway) Batangas—Summer 2015

It was a laid back summer for Love and myself this year. No beach trips to Boracay or other summer destinations, just a couple of good ol’ weekend getaways to Batangas for our company outing held at Chateau Royale and a long overdue get together with my college friends at Cintai Cossito.

Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club

Just a few kilometres away from Tagaytay, Chateau Royale is a great place for corporate team buildings as they offer a wide variety of activities:

  • A footballl (soccer) field
  • A large pool where some of my colleagues played some kind of water polo
  • Badminton courts
  • Billiards area
  • Multiple activity areas with a videoke machines
  • Rooms for overnighters and day trips
  • And the reason why I may come back, a really high rock climbing wall


The start of my Ninja Warrior campaign

Here are some nice shots of the resort courtesy my colleague Angelo Calipe:







For some reason, Love and I didn't take any pictures of ourselves during the trip. Very uncharacteristic.

Cintai Cossito’s Garden

Cintai Cossito’s Garden is located just a few minutes away from the Star Tollway-Lipa exit. The resort itself is a really large garden where a lot of couples hold their prenup pictorials. Some of the resort’s offerings include a wide variety of activities for corporate events, a multi-purpose area for wedding receptions, a game area, a restaurant, a bar, two large pools and room service massages. The personnel are competent and accommodating to guests and the rooms/villas are spacey and Bali inspired.








Just when I thought we had already explored all that Batangas could offer, we discovered two destinations for a nice chill weekend just a few hours away from Manila.
