STELLA MARIS BEACH RESORT A NEWLY FOUND HAVEN
Are you looking for a new place to explore? Something that is not mainstream and crowded? And most specially budget friendly? Well let me welcome you to one of the beach that my family discovered over the weekend. Ready?
Let's go to Bataan!
This is Stella Maris Beach Resort located at Gov. J.J. Linao National Road, Brgy. Banawang
Bagac, Bataan.
A resort that is close to nature with a perfectly fine gray sand and fresh clear salty sea. And since this blog is dedicated to my on a budgetarian reader I'll recommend things that you should do inside this resort.
How to get there?
- Ride a Genesis Bus in Cubao terminal to Balanga, Bataan (drop-off point: Bataan Terminal )
- From Bataan Terminal, ride a jeep to Bagac Market
- Ride a tricycle to Stella Mariz
But for private vehicle use your trusty waze app. Free Parking.
FEES:
- Entrance fee: (as of May 2018) 100 PHP. (Day Tour & Overnight)
- Room Rates: I highly suggest that you can set up a tent (100 php.) or if you don't have you can also rent an open nippa hut (400 php.) they also have airconditioned room which I didn't bother asking hahaha like what I've told you this is for my budgetarian readers but if you have kids and wanted to know you can contact them link below.
DO's and Dont's
Do's:
- Relax and Unwind
- Swim
- Photoshoot
- Island hopping (Tip: Haggle! sometimes this island hopping can cost up to 3,000php. we got it for 1500 only).
- Banana Boating (Tip: Again haggle or use sugarcoated words hahaha regular rate is 1500 but we got it for free).
Dont's: This resort is really protecting this island so please people follow, let's do our part in protecting our mother nature. Beside once caught you will be charge or should I say there is fine in every rules you break.
- Do not smoke
- No eating on the beach
- Bonfire are not allowed ( there is a specific place where you can cook your foods)
- No littering (although there is a lot of sweepers around pls. travelers there's no harm practicing the LNT Leave No Trace ).
There are also a lot of life guards looking and securing people are safe. On the other note, there are certain part of the beach that are prone to jelly fishes which actually mean that the water is clean, so clean that you can see the small fishes swimming around with you even without snorkeling gear.
All in all this is your lowkey minimalist resort that you must try!
