When en route to the Coral Beach Club
The drive to Batangas from central Manila will normally take about 2 & ½ hours depending on the time of day, traffic and weather. There is a continuing programme of road improvements that is making the journey quicker and easier so why not consider breaking your journey with some of the following suggestions. You could stop & shop at the new shopping centres that have arisen on the road between Sta Rosa (just off the SLEX) and Nuvali….you name it, it is probably there and there are a host of eateries as well.
In Tagaytay City (50km from the resort or one hour on) you will find Taal Lake, which is famous for having a volcano on an island, in a lake, in a volcano on an island! You can take a boat to the island then hike to the volcano (or ride a horse there!). Having built up an appetite you could eat in one of many restaurants in the area (or just carry on to the Club!).
Above all, just take it easy on the way and we be here at the resort to welcome you and help you to ‘slow down and pleasure up!’. Relax, you’ll soon be at the beach!
