It's worth the trip! Getting there is tough, you have to go steep uphills and rough road by the coast. But when you get there it's so worth the trip. Service from staff is great. Lots of areas to explore. The area is big so you have lots of opportunity for adventure and privacy and there are historical and preserved artifacts you can look at. Rooms are nice. Aircon is cold and heater is good. There are 2 infinity pools and the resort has it's private secluded beach cove.
Title: The Land That Time Should Forget
Road Condition:
Access to the resort is extremely poor. The final 3 km stretch before reaching Punta Verde feels like traveling back to the 1980s—unpaved, narrow, and badly maintained. Guests should be prepared for the possibility of car repairs afterward, which is unacceptable for a resort marketed as premium in 2025.
Resort & Management:
The property feels outdated and poorly managed. While staff members were polite and courteous, the overall operations lacked professionalism. During our stay, the pool area was dominated by guests blasting music at full volume. When we raised this with staff, the response was simply that nothing could be done until those guests checked out—hardly the standard of service expected from a top-tier resort.
Food:
Guests are required to place lunch orders by 10 AM, which is unusual. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the restaurant around 1 PM, the food was served cold. Quality was below average—about 1.5/5 by our assessment—yet prices were comparable to high-end Manila establishments. Value for money was very poor.
Rooms:
On the positive side, the room was clean and well-kept. However, we experienced noise from rodents running above the ceiling, which disturbed our sleep, particularly our daughter’s.
Beach & Amenities:
The beach is a small rocky cove, not suitable for swimming but possibly for light water activities like kayaking. Other facilities, such as the campsite, appeared neglected and past their prime.
Overall Impression:
Given the high rates, poor road access, outdated facilities, and disappointing food quality, Punta Verde does not live up to its promise. There are many other resorts in Batangas that offer better value, comfort, and accessibility. At this point, I would not recommend it.
I got Sampaguita room, I stay during Easter holidays. Fair enough I booked close to my departure time.
I do not like the room. I have sea view and ok balcony except for windows are nailed down and I can’t open them for day light???
So I have to turn on lights during day time, thinking of how unsustainable it is, I am not really happy about that. Besides I turn on all the lights in my room, the room is still very dark. Literally I can’t read anything. If I stay inside the room I feel like late evening all the time. No reading light on bedside table
Food is very good. I like grilled fish and salad.
Basic Filipino food for breakfast, little bit disappointed but I do understand the culture so I can live with it for 2 mornings
Services are excellent ❤️
There are two beaches but the cove one is my favorite. It’s magnificent. Except I found trash laying around. During the time there is not high season and not much guests I think resort should have staff to clean it up.
In general I still love the place and one of the resort has most beautiful beaches in Batangas that I swam for hours daily during my staying. I would definitely come back or recommend my friends.
Quiet resort in Lobo, Batangas with an amazing view of the Verde Island Passage. We love the super friendly, accommodating, and patient staff of Punta Verde! The rooms are comfortable, clean, and cozy... you will definitely get your much deserved rest. Pools are a wonderful feature as well! Meals can be pre-ordered and is served promptly whatever time you wish (just make sure to pre order esp lunch and dinner).
Some heads-up:
Rough road going to the resort. Best use SUVs.
The resort remotely sits away from the center. And that means limited access to food establishments although the resort offers a menu.
WIFI is only available in common areas like the pavilions and clubhouse near pools. No wifi in rooms if you plan on working (not recommended for remote work)
Love this place, a home away from home, but not senior friendly because of steep stairwells going to the beach, but still if youre looking for a place to relax this is for you.
