Amansinaya Mountain Resort Sta Maria, Laurel, Batangas

 I got a voucher from Ensogo for a day tour in Amansinaya Mountain Resort last year but because of the busy schedule and the peak season coming, I and mi amore decided to book the tour early 2014.

So, we don’t have any itinerary and we just search the net on how to go to the resort the night before our tour. Gladly, we arrived safe and sound. Here’s our actual travel expenses and estimated time spent:

6:00 AM ETD from Alabang to Tanauan Bus Stop (ride a bus going to Lipa-Tanauan) P66/pax

6:50 AM ETA to Tanauan Bus Stop, ride tricycle or walk going to Mcdonalds where you will ride a jeepney going to Laurel, Batangas (you need a lot of patience here because you will wait for like an hour before for the jeepney to have enough passengers)

7:00 AM had breakfast in Mcdonalds ( you need to eat so you will have enough patience as stated above hehe :p)

7:30 AM – 8:30 AM waiting time

8:30 AM to 9:30 AM from Mcdonalds to Laurel City Hall P45/pax

9:30 AM- 9:45AM from Laurel City Hall ride a habal-habal (motorcycle) going to Amansinaya in Sta. Maria P100 for 2 pax

10:00 AM – 4:30PM activities

4:30PM-5:00PM departure from resort. You need to ride (again) a habal habal from resort to Tagaytay where buses going to Manila pass by. P150/pax

5:00 PM-7:30PM Tagaytay to Pasay via bus P99/pax

Amansinaya is also known as Las Haciendas I think. The place is huge but still underdeveloped. The food is overpriced I think, but justified because of the vicinity of the place. The place is perfect for family outing, barkada outing and team building. We have to pay another P100 for the locker where we left our personal belongings.

 They have a lot an activity area in Pugad Lawin Camp and their main attractions are- zip line, wall climbing and their slide for life.

They also have an infinity pool near Patio Filipino and another pool in their Aqua Park but sadly, we can’t swim because of the cold and windy weather (we’re chilling to death).

Luckily, they have a shuttle service from one activity area to another because each activity area is quite far from another.

They also offer a free guided tour to Ambon Ambon and Malagaslas Falls which you can read in my another blog entry.

Overall,the place is nice and if you want peace and stress free weekend, you have to spend some time visiting this place.

Patio Filipino for receiving guests

Wall climbing :)
