cintai coritos garden

I would consider Cintai Coritos Garden as a secret gem on this side of Batangas. being off the usual tourist routes in the area makes this resort a spot worth exploring even over a weekend or after a tour around Batangas and Laguna's growing adventure spots.

interestingly, the resort compound is composed of a large area of Bali-inspired villas, swimming pools and gardens. archways and intricately carved wooden gates divide its entirety to smaller areas of peaceful spots. it's quite easy to move around because of the large open lawns and stairways.

villas were strategically placed on areas that gives you a sense of privacy from the larger open grounds of the swimming pool and play areas. there are four types of villas:

deluxe villas - 1 queen size bed, a personal bar with refrigerator and its own terrace
terrace villas - 2 queen size beds, a personal bar with refrigerator and its own terrace 
garden villas - 3 queen size beds, a personal bar with refrigerator and its own terrace
executive villa - 3 queen size beds, a personal bar with a designated bar tender and waiter, an exclusive garden terrace, and an outdoor jacuzzi.

kids will love this place. one big reason would be finding the ten freely roaming peacocks in the resort compound. often moving around in groups of four and if quite lucky, you get to spot them on their most beautiful state. that's when they open their colorful large tails. next thing that kids will definitely enjoy is the open playground and a game room where they can play board games and console games. 

overall a great spot to consider if you want to rest and be disconnected from the busy lifestyle.

recommended activities when in the resort:
swimming - there are several number of swimming pools in the compound. 
walking - follow the walking trails from the main open area to the gate. you will be surprised to find small spots of interest.
do nothing - though it has great amenities doing nothing still is a great activity

giving two thumbs up to:
Bali-themed design villas and structures
several dining spots to choose around the compound
good food is served generously
big rooms of king and queen sized beds
spacious bathrooms and comfort rooms
nice landscape and walkways
fresh air and nice green scenery
