^sis iska, sorry late rep.

open naman to the public yung las casas filipinas. pero may day tour fee na cya. 1200 with buffet lunch, or 1000 if set lunch lang.

[abbiesh]

excited nako, i will go with to Playa with Kuya Kel tomorrow. Sana wag umulan (and sana din wag muna dumating period ko) hehe.

to anyone who has been to Playa with Kuya Kel, pashare naman ng experience. I read from this forum kasi may nakapunta na.
thanks

[kikay iska]

sis abbiesh: thanks sa info. pero pwede kayang saglit lang na tour without meals?  sana pwede.

feedback sis sa Playa pagbalik mo ha? ingat and enjoy your trip!

may nabasa akong good feedback re: kuya kel na yan

[magichild07]

been to montemar last weekend so far ok naman ang facilities nila... the beach is nice yun lang madami nga jellyfish =)

[abbiesh]

mostly ok naman experience ko sa playa.

we got to NLEX at 6AM, and by 7:30AM,nasa Balanga na kame. Dun ang meeting place with Kuya Kel. Super bilis ng travel to Bataan (we drove to Bataan ha), considering we didn't take the SCTEX route. (pauwe nag SCTEX kame, masmabilis)

We went to Mt. Samat with Kuya Kel. Yung ibang guests sa tour, nagcommute so masmatagal ang travel time from Balanga City to the place where we will ride the boat. Sarado ang elevator sa corss kainis kasi yung photo op namen hangang baba lang. Oh well...

Mga 11:00AM, nsa Fajardo's Beach na kame. This is where we parked and where we will be taking the boat to Playa. Fajardo's beach is just beside Las Casas. D kame nakapasok sa Las Casa. D pwede yung daan lang Dapat talaga mag pay for the tour. Sad.

The boat ride to Playa was longer than expected. Kasi super dami namen sa boat, parang d nga kakayanin pero wala naman masamang nangyari. Bagal ng takbo namen since almost 20 kame (capacity nung boat was like 15 lang). May vest naman and the boatmen assured that we will make it naman daw.

12:00Noon, nasa Playa na kame. As in, caretakers lang nandun. Tpapos kameng 10 guests ni Kuya Kel and then yung mga helpers nya.

BEACH: D white ang sand ha. Grey cya and not fine. Pero d ko alam, nasarapan ako magswim dun. haha. Super clear ng water. AT oo, madaming jelly fish. Pero yun yung clear/silicone type. Hinde yung pink. Hinawakan pa namen kahit yung malaki. Hinde cya makati at all! Sarap nga nila paglaruan. haha.

FOOD: super daming food. Busog ka talaga. And may benta din si Kuya Kel na mga drinks. So you dont have to worry about bringing anything. 2nd day nga, may ginawa pagng juice. And sa gabi, may cocktail party. With games! Masaya kasi 8 na gays kasama namen ni bf. Super fun.

Downside:
Ang init sa gabi pag sa tent ka. As in! D ako nakatulog masyado. Baka mali lang yung direction ng tent namen pero wala tlagang hangin na pumapasok. Mas ok matulog sa cottage dun kesa sa tent.

Yung CR na near the eating area namen, someone did the nasty and worse - d siya maflush! So nung maliligo na ko, I saw some floaters. Super kadiri. As in! When we tried to pour water into it, lalung umapaw. (sorry sa kumakain)

Buti nalang may isa pang CR sa kbailang side. Medyo malayo sa camp site namen pero mas ok kesa naman sa maduming CR. Sabi ni Kuya Kel, may nabara daw siguro dun na tissue or something. D umamin sino gumawa so we dont know sino yun. Haha.

May generator din pala kame sa gabi. So may ilaw while we were eating. Pero walang fan fan ha. D din kame nakapagcharge kasi d na kaya nung generator. As in pang ilaw lang cya.

All in all, ok naman yung experience. Ganda ng photo op nila sa may mga rocks dun. D kame nakasama ni bf kasi naka havies lang kame. D kame nakadala ng pang trek na ootwear. Sayang.

[abbiesh]

By the way, pumunta din kame sa Pawikan Conservation Ctr sa Mornong. Nag boat kame from Playa (we payed 200 back and forth, for 2 pax). Ang layo pala nun! As in maalon pa and inabot kame ng gabi since 4PM na ata kme umalis ng Playa. Super scary yung boat ride. Pero maganda yung scenery.

Entrance sa Pawikan Ctr was 20 each. Nothing much to see. They had 5 ata na Pawikans. And pwede mo buhatin for photo op. Wala namang extra charges.

I saw din ata yung PADI sa Morong na house. Super init sa side na yun. Walang puno whatsoever. As in direct hit ng sunlight. And iba ang sand sa side na yun. Dark Grey siya.

We went to Mt. Samat with Kuya Kel. Yung ibang guests sa tour, nagcommute so masmatagal ang travel time from Balanga City to the place where we will ride the boat. Sarado ang elevator sa corss kainis kasi yung photo op namen hangang baba lang. Oh well...

sis, how much naman yung bayad sa tour sa Las Casas?  Ito ba yung pinost mong rate last time, yung with meals?

sayang naman yung sa Mt. Samat. Nakakalungkot naman yan.  Nababawasan na ang excitement ko sa Bataan trip namin.

Add ko na rin pala ayung tanong ko re: gas and toll fees.  Magkano inabot ng gas at toll fees, sis? Thanks in advance!

[abbiesh]

^hi sis. sorry late rep.
D ako nakatour sa Las Casas but the rate is as what was posted on the site. Php1200 for buffet lunch with tour, Php1000 if set menu.

I think sis, magiging ok naman yung elevator by the time you go there. Kasi sabi ni Kuya Kel, malas lang daw tlaga kame. Haha. Like since 2006 daw, pang 3rd palang kame sa tinour nya na sira ang elevator. sad noh?

Gas -- hmm... yung gas full tank na kasi from manila palang so hinde ko lang sure how much yun. konti lang bumawas sa gauge pagbalik e. ok na siguro kahit 1000.

Toll - shux parang d ko maalala. haha. basta sure ako twice kame nagbayad papunta e. yung isa 86, yung isa less than 50. D ko lang sure exactly how much. San Fernando exit yan ha. So roughly 600 balikan na.

when trip mo sis? ill post pics, ayusin ko lang ha.

[kikay iska]

^ sa May 29-30 yung trip namin, sis.  Bale 9 adults and 1 kid yung group ko.  Antayin ko pics mo ha?

Thanks sa feedback at pagsagot sa mga tanong ko. Ang hirap palang igawan ng DIY trip itong Bataan. Unlike Boracay or Cebu or otehr spots na sikat na maraming makukuhan info agad.  Buti na lang andyan ka. Thanks, sis.

[jaded1025]

Okay na kaya yung elevator sa cross?

Wala bang white sand beach sa bataan?

[wkt]

we were in montemar last month and ok talaga yung facilities and the beach!  super enjoy~  i plan to bring my family here next year (ipon-ipon muna)

[b3ach3d]

Try niyo Sunset Cove sa Morong, Bataan.

Ito website nila http://sunsetcovebeach.multiply.com 

[belle_in_pink]

^^ Agree, nice ang Montemar for such an old resort.  

Ok din yung White Corals.

[barefoot_taka]

Went to bagac bay beach resort with co-workers. ok naman yung beach. dami nga lang tao kase weekend and summer pa. we also went island hopping.
with family naman we went na sa sunset cove. although day tour lang kami that time. solo namin yung place. walang ibang guests. off peak naman kasi that time. we didn't have any trouble talking to the owner. we called their landline number and isang usapan lang ayos na agad.
 

[subzero]

we're excited to go to las casas.

sisses, try nyo sa bataan. super accessible and just for a weekend getaway.  we can arrange tours for you.

[PinKisH_23]

Hello mga sis any feedback with Anvaya Cove?

[freeswan]

mga sis, may parang Bali something beach resort in Morong. any reviews? and yung PADI, how much dun?

[rio_luchie]

Just came back from our Subic, Zambales, Bataan trip this holy week. Never again we will be back to Coral View Resort in Morong, Bataan ang dumi ng beach, you will have a second thought na lumusong sa tubig. 'Yung free breakfast pa namin the following day ni-request ko iserve ng 7AM coz we will go boating sinerve mag 8AM na. Naka 3 follow-ups ako. Even 'yung mga room neighbors namin comment nila, di na sila babalik dun. We were really fooled by their website.

[chin66ay]

naku sis ingat sa pagbook kung based lang sa website photos nila. galing ako bataan last week. dun ako sa side ng sunset, phi phi... nagbook yung friend ko sa la primera playa... palpak.
family room 7k good for 10pax pero pag dating namin parang dorm type! as in may 5 double deck at TV lang. OMG ni hindi makastay sa room kasi walang upuan. then may charge silang 2,500 for the cabana, 300 for the ihawan... at walang food na available. dapat dinala namin buong bahay namin! akala namin nakamura... e di dapat dun na kami sa mga resorts like white coral or coral view! pero in fairness maganda naman dun... yun lang deceiving talaga ang website photos. pati ibang kasama namin sa resort naturn off din at nagsisisihan.

anyways, PADISAMORONG is 15K pero fully booked na sila ngayong summer. pinasyalan din namin. maganda ang house, may billiards, pool, airconditioned 4 rooms... pero yung beach, ganun din like sa iba. ang maganda lang, private siya.
