There is this unsuspecting place which is around 2-3 hours away from Manila where you can bask in the sun and feel like you are somewhere in Greece but comes with an inexpensive price. Where is it? It's in Anilao, Batangas and the place is called
Camp Netanya.

Things to do in Camp Netanya:
1. Snorkel at the beach
Anilao is one of the best snorkeling sites near Manila so grab the chance to see the beauty of the underwater world here. Snorkeling masks and fins can be borrowed for free from the office.
2. Enjoy the infinity pool until sunset
Their pool is beautiful and the depth ranges from 1ft up to more than 6ft. Kids and adults alike can really enjoy the pool.
3. Use a kayak or pedal boat
Their kayak or pedal boats are located near the stairs just before going down the beach. Guests are allowed to use these from 6am-6pm.
4. Take a picture around the place
What is the point of going to a beautiful place like this if you wouldn't take a souvenir photo of yourself or the place itself? Just expect a lot of climbing and going down of stairs.
In a nutshell:
I can say that the place is well-designed and very picturesque. The facade, rooms and pool are already finished but the first two floors from the parking area still needs to be done. I had a good time but it would have been better if there were more shower rooms in the resort and chairs or tables for day tour guests. Lockers would also be very beneficial for the guests.
Will I recommend the place? I'd still say yes. Why? Because it is a really aesthetically pleasing resort where you can relax but does not have to cost a pretty penny.
Hi miss ruth ask ko lang po kung Day tour or overnight kayo sa Camp netanya?and panu yung pag process po sa inyo?
ReplyDeleteNagka chat po kasi kami nung Norma Concepcion this is the email account she used normaconcepcion1956@yahoo.com
Then i already reserve na daw po ako then they need 30%depo and she gave me an account no. Under Jose
Jimenez kaso mejo doubt padin ako kung may idea lang po kayo pls inform me Thank you
Hi Ms. Clarisze. We went there for a daytour and no downpayment was asked from us. I just texted them days ahead of time, told them my intention to go there on a given date and nagreply naman kaagad sila just to confirm na noted na ang reservation ko. Pero after that confirmation, wala na silang reply sa mga queries ko like where to eat and how to get there, etc. They don't answer calls as well.
DeleteNorma Concepcion is like the manager of the place but nakapangalan ung Camp Netanya kay Jose Jimenez. As in pag nagbigay sila ng official receipt, name niya ang naka-print doon.
I think what's important is that you keep the confirmation (like take a screenshot of the bank transaction or text) that you made a deposit on their account then show it to them on your agreed date. Then remind them like 5 days prior to your scheduled date to visit them. Lastly, do not forget to get an official receipt from them.
DeleteHi, do you have an updated contact number of Camp Netanya? I've been trying their cellphone and email but I didnt get a response. Thanks in advance.
DeleteHi Myron. That is the updated number from Camp Netanya. Again, they do not answer calls. I just texted them one afternoon and they replied right away. Others are also experiencing the same problem with Camp Netanya not responding to them.
DeleteHi Ms Clarisze, what account nyo po na-contact si Ms Norma Concepcion? I'm also trying to get in touch with her. Thank you!
DeleteWe went last Saturday (Aug.29, 2015) knowing our reservation is all good. But we are welcomed with a closed gate and by three security men. They said that it is now under new management and they are not authorized to let anyone enter the premise.
ReplyDeleteWe tried contacting the previous owner but we didn't get answer. We were able to find one of the previous employee. He said that it was closed 4 days prior, all the staff are not allowed to have access to their database anymore. So good luck to those who have reservations up to December of this year.
Wow. That was such a hassle! Thank you also for informing us that it is now closed and under new management. I hope they fix their schedule especially for those who deposited a down payment.
DeleteHi! Enough n po ang daytour to enjoy the place? or would you recommend to stay overnight?
ReplyDeleteHi Ice. Yes, a day tour is enough to enjoy the place. It's not that big din naman kasi and the activities are just basically, swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.
Deletehello, i'm trying to call the number but it's unattended...can i ask for other number to call on please?
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm sorry but the number listed above is not working I guess. They are under new management now and I do not have their contact number as of the moment.
DeleteHi just wanna ask the status of this resort if its still under renovation or something? thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Abigail Sadie, I am not so sure. I haven't been back there since July 2015
DeleteHi , Can I have the updated contact number of this resort?
ReplyDeleteHi Cris John, I'm sorry but I do not have the updated contact number of this resort.
DeleteHi miss Ruth, can i ask if this place is under Construction? Thank you..
