Palm Beach Resort

San Juan, Batangas, Philippines, Philippines

---

Palm Beach Resort is a tranquil, family-friendly beach resort located in Barangay Hugom in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas, Philippines, about 3–4 hours by car from Manila via SLEX and STAR Tollway.

It sits on a secluded stretch of beach separate from the more crowded Laiya Beach, offering beachfront accommodations in modern casas and junior rooms that all face Tayabas Bay, along with a swimming pool, spa, kayaking, and a private beach area surrounded by trees and tropical greenery. The resort primarily operates on a full-board package that includes afternoon snacks, dinner, breakfast, and lunch, with overnight rates around Php6,100 for two people plus full-board meal fees, and an estimated total budget of roughly Php8,800 per person for two guests.

The beach itself is rocky with many pebbles and corals, so visitors are advised to wear water shoes and plan beach time for late afternoon when the tide is higher, since mornings have low tide. The area has weak mobile signal (especially Globe), no nearby ATMs, and the road from Laiya Road to the resort is narrow and unpaved, so it’s best to book in advance, arrive early to avoid traffic, bring cash, and schedule pool and beach activities upon check-in since amenities are now scheduled.

Palm Beach Resort is open year-round but is most pleasant during the dry summer months from March to May, and visiting on weekdays is recommended to avoid weekend and holiday crowds.
