The locals call the area “Bagalangit” which translates to…Almost Heaven! On the southern tip of the Calumpang Peninsula, along the eastern coast of Balayan Bay in Barrio Bagalangit, Anilao, Batangas lays Eagle Point Resort.

Nestled in 5.36 hectares of land, Eagle Point Resort is your ideal getaway from the many challenges of city life. A mere 2 hour drive from Manila, the resort offers services and facilities that cater to even the most discriminating taste.

It is a breathtaking piece of nature where the land meets the sea. Clean sea air… Pristine waters with an abundance of sea life… Fantastic panoramic view of the bay… Exquisite sunsets…it is serene, magnificent and adventurous.

Once a privately-owned vacation villa, the property has been fully developed and is now considered the biggest and best resort in the Anilao-Mabini area, frequented by well-to-do Filipinos, expats and foreign tourists.

People are drawn to this area because of the pristine waters, scenic islands, rich coral reefs, and the abundance of sea life. Eagle Point sits strategically in one of the best places for scuba diving and snorkeling – the tip of the peninsula in the lower mouth of Balayan Bay is a protected marine sanctuary.

Plankton rides the currents that frequently flow into the bay, guaranteeing the abundance and variety of marine life. A visiting German marine biologist while diving in front of the resort commented that he found a greater variety of fish within 100 square meters here than in all of the Great Barrier Reef. A team of UK marine biologists confirmed that there are more than 250 coral species in this area, more than anywhere else in the world.

Nowhere else within 5 hours driving distance from Manila can one find such pristine water and varieties of colorful sea life.

Eagle Point Resort sits in the middle of this maze of dive spots, making it the most ideal starting point for divers.

With 30 dive spots that abound with life and blessed with clear visibility, divers are here practically all-year round.

Eagle Point Resort offers facilities to accommodate even those that do not dive. Comfort and privacy is what guests can expect with us. Sitting by the sea and surrounded by flowers and trees, the natural beauty will take hold of you. Many guests have said that it was like being transported to a far exotic island but still be conveniently close to Manila.

This seaside haven was developed with adventure and comfort in mind for everyone, a year round destination for divers, adventurists, nature lovers and for those that would just like to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life.

• Coral Conservation: Eagle Point Resort’s Commitment to Nature: Because coral reefs are the basis for all life at sea. Eagle Point Resort is an active supporter of organizations committed to their preservation. The resort actively participates in efforts that not only seek to increase awareness for the conservation and protection but to ensure their propagation. An effort now in place is the use of mooring buoys located at the different dive spots. Boaters are encouraged to tie their boats to the buoys and avoid dropping their anchors which damage these underwater treasures. The resort also takes an active role in discouraging the use of dynamite and cyanide fishing which not only harm marine animals but destroy these precious coral reefs.

• Accommodation: Eagle Point Resort is a seaside getaway where the rustic charm of nature and the comfort and convenience of modern living meet seamlessly. Guests can really feel one with nature while never having to have left home. We have a range of living arrangements that promise to suit the most discriminating taste.
• Terrace Hotel: Seaside hotel with 32 deluxe terrace rooms and 8 superior rooms, air-conditioned with bathrooms and satellite TV. The terrace rooms have spacious balconies overlooking the sea.
• Casablanca: A 3-bedroom condominium, air-conditioned with 3 bathrooms, living room and satellite TV.
• Villa Suite: 2 one-bedroom suites, air-conditioned with bathrooms, satellite TV and overlooking the sea.
• Cottages: 18 twin sharing cottages built in clusters of twos, air-conditioned with bathrooms, satellite TV and balconies overlooking the sea.
• Cottage Suite: 1 two-bedroom cottage, air-conditioned with living room, 2 bathrooms, satellite TV and a large balcony overlooking the sea.
• Native Cabanas: 10 fan units with bathrooms and balconies overlooking the sea.

• The Main Core: Eagle Point’s Main Core is the centerpiece of the resort. The original concept came from the design and purpose of the Samoan Long House from which all activities emanate. It is the first place that welcomes you to an environment of relaxation and convenience in an atmosphere that is in harmony with nature. The Main Core’s interior is graced with a very high ceiling supported by thick Narra wooden beams and trusses. From its high advantage point, guests are treated with an overwhelming majestic view of the sea. Descending a flight of stairs from the driveway, you are welcomed with a cool refreshing fruit drink and the awaiting staff at the front desk. After check-in, you descend another set of stairs and then pause to take in the beautiful panoramic view of the sea through the restaurant’s windows.

• The Eagle’s Nest bar & restaurant occupies the main floor as well as a second level of the Main Core. Here you will find a delectable menu matching the quality of that of the 5 star restaurants. Our menu consists of both local and international cuisine including seafood dishes, continental, oriental as well as Filipino cuisine guaranteed to delight your palette. Of course, we do recommend the fresh daily seafood dishes.

• The Boutique which is also situated in the Main Core caters for all of your necessaries such as toiletries, clothing, pool wear and pool toys to make your stay at Eagle Point even more comfortable and enjoyable.

• Multipurpose Function Rooms: Eagle Point has 4 function rooms the largest of which can cater for up to 250 people depending on the room configuration as well as several smaller outdoor function areas.

• The Reef Pool (saltwater): From the main swimming pool deck down a short flight of stairs to our water sport pier next to the Safety Stop Dive Shop is our Reef Pool. This pool is about 12 feet deep. For easy in and out access, six broad steps descend about 4 feet down. For many of our guests, this pool is a real attraction mainly because they get to swim with baby sharks and other fish. Besides being a launching pad and training tank for novice divers and snorkelers, the reef pool was conceived for those who were afraid to swim in the “big blue sea”. So, what we had in mind was an extremely large aquarium filled with different sea creatures where you can swim in it with no fear. At first,the pool had only small fish but then a guest donated a sea turtle named Charmaine which grew up in a bath tub. You can imagine how happy she was when she had more space.Five years later, with the help of the Dep’t of Fisheries [DOF] who tagged her, Charmaine was released into the wild. Later, we rescued six baby black tip sharks from nets of a fisherman which stayed in our pool for about a year before they were released. Then other baby sharks found their way into our pool every year until they were ready for release which were monitored by DOF. At first, we worried about guests not using the reef pool but then guests loved swimming up close to Jaws Jr. Take note that though the baby sharks are docile, you will be reminded that they are still wild animals. So, the rule is look but no touching. Besides the sharks are not what you should really worry about. You have to watch out for a 12 pound grouper [Lapu-Lapu] with a mean disposition mainly because when we rescued him he had a spear sticking out of him. We nick named him Gus. Aside from being a temporary home for several species of marine animals, our Reef Pool is also used by the local marine conservation authorities as a rehabilitation pool for injured or juvenile animals that are either too weak or too young to survive in the wild. Animals are kept with the resort until they are well enough or old enough to be released back into the open sea. This is just one area of Eagle Point Resort’s contribution to the preservation of marine life.

• Other Recreational Facilities and Amenities: Although Eagle Point’s main attraction is scuba diving, the resort has three (4) swimming pool facilities. Adjacent to the Main Core is our double level [fresh water] swimming pool connected by a fun water slide. The upper (kids) pool has two waterfalls; and next to it is a playground. When the swimming pool area was first conceived back in the early 90s, kids having lots of fun was always forefront in the owners’ mind. So, the concept of double decked swimming pools connected with a 30ft long water slide and children’s play area was born.
• Double-level Swimming Pools with water slide: The top level pool area is complete with a large children’s wading pool no deeper than 2ft. This pool can easily hold as many as 25 to 30 kids. Kids can enjoy themselves by being doused by any of the two protruding waterfalls that cascades into the side of the pool. Of course, the biggest attraction for the kids is to go down that 30-foot water slide into our lower pool. Note to parents: for safety reasons, kids are not allowed to climb up the water slide.
• Southend Swimming Pool: This area has been specifically designed for our corporate as well as individual groups that would like more privacy in their activities. The Southend area consists of a beautifully designed swimming pool surrounded by private nipa huts as well as bar, comfort rooms, showers plus the capability to cater for groups up to 250 pax all overlooking Balayan Bay.
  Also part of this unique area is the Southend pavilion and function center situated directly above the swimming pool. Here we have everything you need to have a wonderful party or conference for up to 120 pax complete with kitchen facilities, shower and change rooms all again overlooking tranquil Balayan Bay.

• Butterfly Park and Playground: Our butterfly park is located right next to the playground and children’s pool. It is basically an enclosed garden filled with a variety of plants, flowers and small trees. When we decided to have our own butterfly park back into 2002, we really did not know where to start. So, we found an expert who established a number of these butterfly parks and brought him to Eagle Point. After we had the enclosure built, our butterfly expert brought with him about 100 cocoons. After about two weeks, we had a variety of multicolored butterflies fluttering their wings throughout the park.
  Note: a butterfly’s life span is very short and they are very delicate to maintain properly. So, do not be too disappointed if you are not covered head to toe with butterflies.

• Aviary’s: Eagle Point has several aviary’s throughout the resort with an array of exotic tropical birds of which some have been rescued from injury and nursed back to health.

• Sepoc Beach Center, Maricaban Island: Eagle Point’s beauty lies in its synergy with nature. With this in mind, we acquired a beautiful stretch of white sand beach at the very tip of Maricaban Island about 20 minutes boat ride from the resort. Sepoc beach is truly a small neck of a peninsula where on one side the beach faces the distant Mindoro coast while the other fronts one of the best dive spots being Sepoc Wall. In this natural island paradise, you are encouraged to explore this unspoiled and sublime natural wonder. Its crystal waters also offer guests a chance to go snorkeling and be one with the sea and all its wonders. An incredible coral reef garden lies not far from the beach.
  Sepoc Beach Center also boasts of other recreational facilities like a beach volleyball area and a hiking trail for the adventurous spirit.
  Again your comfort and convenience are always up most concern for us. So, the beach center also has comfortable dining facilities where you can enjoy a good meal. Want to lay back and nap? A number of hammocks encircle the center just waiting for you. And of course, the bath and rest room facility ensures that you never miss the comforts of modern conveniences. To go hand in hand with this wonderful recreational area we have had the privilege to be able to continue our commitment to marine life conversation. In February 2011 an endangered Olive Ridley sea turtle laid 85 eggs on Sepoc Beach. We protected the nest from predators and once the eggs hatched we transferred the new-born baby turtles to a protective concrete swimming pool that we made specifically for this, and hopefully future occasions. We kept the baby turtles in safety for around 6 weeks and then we gradually released them back into the wild for hopefully a long and adventurous life with the hope that one or more of these endangered marine animals may return someday and lay their own eggs.

Nestled in the hilly, coastal peninsula of Anilao, Batangas, Dive Solana provides generous space, salt air and thick flora to relax mind, body and spirit.

Solana translates as “a place in the sun” where, regardless of the weather, guests are warmly welcome to enjoy respites by the sea. Nestled in the hilly, coastal peninsula of Anilao, Batangas, Solana Resort provides generous space, salt air and thick flora to relax mind and spirit.

Fun, Leisure & Experience

To energize the senses, one can go swimming, snorkeling, boating and, in particular, scuba diving – always a special experience in viewing the abundance of exotic reef life for which Anilao is internationally known. There are nearby islands to explore, and dozens of various dive sites ranging from easy garden slopes to challenging walls and bajuras. Above or underwater, one is pampered and stimulated by the bountiful sights and sounds of a tropical marine environment.

Come alone or with a buddy; or better yet, come with the whole family. SOLANA is child-friendly and has a wide range of recreational activities for all. Additionally, facilities and services for weddings, company excursions, seminars, conventions and other group activities can also be arranged.

Equally enjoyable is to simply lounge in our spacious beachfront, sipping a cool, freshly squeezed fruit juice – with or without a book. Observing wave patterns and the islands beyond, or gazing at gorgeous sunsets and luminous moonsets, are magic moments of quiet contemplation.

The environment at the sea is known to enhance one’s appetite. ‘Eat-as-much-a-you-like’ buffet meals are served to satisfy East and West tastes as well as special diet needs and preferences. In our dining cabanas with a view of the sea, we like our guests to have their fill of food for both body and soul.

Suites & Amenities

Sixteen cottages are fitted to induce restful slumber. Each cottage is air-conditioned, with private shower, toilet and amenities to ensure the comfort of our guests. Twin, triple and family accommodations, all with separate balconies, are available. Each suite has cable tv, as well as, free wifi connection in our dining area and clubhouse. Solana also has two separate quarters for our guests’ staff.

Accessibility

More than just a leisure resort, SOLANA is a nature sanctuary easily accessible by the good roads, just under three hours drive from Makati City. Pull away from the stress of the crowded city and move out to the wide open, breezy space of the relaxing, healing sea!

Kabayan started by building two small fan cottages and a pavilion. Not long after, demand for more cottages grew not only from private individuals but from corporate clients as well. Now, Kabayan Beach Resort boasts of 19 well-appointed air-conditioned cottages and a multi-purpose hall for social and corporate requirements such as parties, weddings, seminars, and the like.

Kabayan Beach Resort is a pioneer in many ways. They were the very first resort built along the white sand beach of Laiya, San Juan Batangas. When others followed and built fan cottages as well, Kabayan upgraded their cottages and built air-conditioned ones. Soon after, others followed suit. Still, Kabayan managed to come up with services and amenities that are uniquely theirs —a few of which are: KTV rooms, a television set with cable service at the pavilion and in all of the cottages, a chapel with anticipated mass every Saturday, dormitories and a multi-purpose hall for seminars, a beach side bar, and a swimming pool for adults and children. Needless to say, Kabayan Beach Resort constantly strives to establish better standards of products and service—all for the continued satisfaction of their guests.
