ABOUT VISTA APLAYA

Vista Aplaya is a cozy and homey resort with bohemian vibes. It was a 3-hour drive from Manila, and we stayed overnight. The spectacular infinity pool on the beachfront makes it more unique and soothing. There is also a family-style dining area on the right side of the pool. You can play billiards for free or lay down in a hammock to watch the tides.

Having a few cottages keeps the place serene and refreshing. The lowest rate room is 4500PHP per night, suitable for two people. Each room is inclusive of complimentary breakfast. All rooms are air-conditioned, with a private bathroom, cable television, and patios. The room we stayed in is spacious, and the interiors are very pleasing to the eyes.
