I immediately fell in love the first time i saw the photos of Canyon Cove, Nasugbu in Facebook. It looks stunning. I didn't realize that there's a stretch of white sand within our reach, (we're from Batangas also) . I want to see for myself if this is for real or photoshop . So we packed all our things for a night in one jansport bag , jumped on the car, got a full tank, and drive to Nasugbu. One thing I like about biglaang lakad is not having an iterinary itself. I even forgot to get the exact address of Canyon Cove.
Well, this is how we got there, since we're already in Batangas City, we drove to Taal, passed by Lemery, then Calaca, off to Balayan and then Tuy. After this, you'll reach Petron Gas Station and I gas on the 'T" road, turn right . The plan basically is just follow the national highway. Our only goal is to reached the town of Nasugbu. We're not even rushing to get there. You'll miss the fun if you get frustrated everytime you have to turn back kasi you're on the wrong way. I'm sure ma-e-enjoy nyo ang scenery, everything looks so green. Specially when you reach Nasugbu, it's the destination of the big trucks that carries tons of sugarcane, azukareras are located here, the air is sweet, smells sugar, literally.

When we enter the premises of the resort, everything looks pang mayaman and exclusive. The hotel itself is huge! The whole resort is HUGE!! The parking inside is spacious, Since we came on a friday afternoon, the resort looks empty. We don't have any reservation but its ok, the staff were very nice and polite, they immediately attend to our queries. We got a superior room for 5800 inclusive of use of pool and buffet breakfast for the next day. The room is very spacious for the three of us, me, my husband and our six year old son. Breakfast is good for 2 person only, but hey is buffet. (wink) and their kapeng barako is to die for. One thing we kept saying is this is impressive.
After we settled in our room, we went down to checked out the beach. And again i'm so impressed. It is white sand (though it's not as white and fine with Calaguas whitesand). The water is very clear, and its very malinis. Its not an ordinary resort wherein my nakakalat na balat ng chippy or balat ng mangga. The whole stretch is exclusive for the resort alone. So you need not to worry na my outsider na magbebenta ng mga pearl bracelet or mga lasing na magvivideoke.

But before we take a dip, we decided to take our very late lunch. Since the resort its very near from the town, we went outside to eat at Chowking. I know that no outside food is allowed inside, Meron kasi silang sariling resto sa loob. So if you wanted to bring small snack inside, just be discreet about it. Wag na lang garapal at super obvious na may pagkain kayong ipapasok inside, or you can always go outside to eat, madami kayong pagpipilian sa Nasugbu town.

Later that day we decided to have a night swim. Its just the three of us on the beach and it was very cold, so we moved to the pool instead, in contrast the water is very warm. We stay in the pool much longer.
The next morning,I woke up early to watch the sunrise in the comfort of our room, but since the is facing west, there's no way that we can have a glimpse of sunrise here. After taking our breakfast on the resort's resto we head on to the beach.We geared on with our snorkel and excitedly dip on the clear water. The water is just perfect for swimming. There's no itchy jellyfish or scary sea orchins. You can swim without any worries within the buoy. They provided this perimeter bouy which I think is a safe limit for swiimming, specially for the kids. Beyond the buoy is good for snorkling. I was hesitant at first because I thought that beyond that will be deeper, but not really, It's just not sandy anymore and you have to be more cautious with your step because there are corals and stones . I wasn't really expecting underwater adventure, but in all fairness, underwater scenery continue to amaze us. Fish comes in different sizes and colors. My husband even claimed that he saw nemo (clown fish). You dont have to swim far from the shore to see this fishes. I swear I can stay here the whole day, snorkling or just lie on the sand and watch the clouds, It was very, very nice.
They offer diving lessons, they have a jetski and banana boat for rental and even offers island hopping tour. Most of the guest are Koreans and they come in buses. Narealize ko that morning na madami palang guest, but still hindi sya crowded. Its like everyone has their own piece of paradise in just one resort.
We checked out at 12pm, we put our things back in the car and head back to the lobby to take pictures again. We hang there for a while, just chilling on the lobby before we drive back home.
Overall, the trip is very sulit. Every cent is worth it. Its a total relaxation for us. The ambience is laid back. Stress and worries are not welcome here and so you have no choice but to leave all of that outside and just enjoy. We will definitely come back here and I cant wait already.
