Been here twice and both have been quiet and serene, which for some could read as boring. But the place lives up to its motto: kain, tulog, sisid (eat, sleep, swim). The food is good, not great, although they do have some great dishes. The whole food experience is just marred by the need to satisfy Manileños with stuff like... More

After years of going to Balai, Laiya I was surprised that they have moved to a different location in San juan. On the way we overlooked the small sign "Balai" on the road, we had to make a u-turn after 3 barangays. Luckily we've asked for directions from the locals there or we would have gone straight to laiya. We... More

The right landmark is Abung Bridge. Resort should change their signage with an UNMISTAKABLE arrow on where to turn. No bars nor TVs. Staff is well-trained. The resort should clean their beach regularly.

We just left Balai Sa San Juan yesterday and our stay was Great. We are a group of 2 families and booked 2 rooms. When we arrive last Tuesday, we were greeted by one of the caretaker and showed us to our respective rooms. The room is huge with 2 double size and 1 single bed. Our lunch is waiting... More

Don't confuse this resort (Balai sa San Juan) with Balai sa Laiya . It is totally a different resort. Balai sa San Juan is located at Barangay Abung near Puting Buhangain, while Balai sa Laiya is about 20 kilometers farther. From Manila Balai sa San Juan is about 3 hours drive. From South Super Highway go towards Star Toll, exit... More

Balai sa Laiya Batangas is a great getaway resort... Though the travel hours is around 3-5 hours but once you see the sandy white beach, you will certainly say that the travel is worth it. For hassle free quick vacation, there are packages that will definetly suit your needs and you can also explore other resorts for their food.. Just... More

Stayed at this resort specifically because I wanted peace and quiet. The resorts unique feature is that their club house and most of their cottages were located on a palaisdaan (fish pond). Cottages were small but serviceable. There was a beach was nearby but nothing much else going on. PLUS : * Place was affordable – accommodation was P3900 (3... More

Balai has the ambience of a fishing village, and in that way is true to its roots. My family went here for a vacation sometime last year. The setting, particularly the chapel, so inspired my mother that planning for my parents' 50th anniversary actually began there... and we are still at it. To me, Balai isn't a place for thrills...

Our family checked-in last Dec 2012. Beach - was so dirty, so many trash in the shore, broken medicine bottles etc. Room assigned to us (Aroma #1) was given to another guest. The room they gave us had a broken lock, we even asked 2 staff to fix it but no one came. Shower - not so hot water and... More
