Submarine Garden Beach Resort in Sawang, Lobo, Batangas

 No, there isn't any stranded submarine in their beach. The 'submarine' refers to the marine sanctuary just a few meters away from the resort. This is no wonder since this part of the sea is still part of Verde Island Passage which is dubbed as "the center of the center of the most diverse marine ecosystem in the world". We really enjoyed snorkeling in this part of the sea. We spent a great deal of time watching Nemo and Marlin in their anemone.

When we arrived at the Submarine Garden Beach Resort, I instantly felt at peace. It was because of the many trees in the resort. It was a hot afternoon, it was Holy Wednesday and yet, the wind from the sea wasn't humid. Their rooms were new and very affordable. The place was actually newly renovated. They also have a 'tent city' where you can rent their tents. They were expecting many visitors since it was Holy Week. Bringing of food is strictly not allowed since they have a restaurant. There's a swimming pool for both adults and kids. Their staff were all competent and customer oriented and they will tell you that one of the scenes of Anne Curtis' Dyesebel was shoot at the rock formations in their beach. The sunset was romantic. There were swings in between some trees where we lazily spent the night, watching the constellations above us.

So to get here from the Poblacion, just head to the Lobo Bridge and it's just around a kilometer after the bridge at the right side and you won't miss this if you're going to the Malabrigo Lighthouse. It's a small intersection with the resort's signage. The road going there is quite rough.

Romantic sunset. This is where some scenes of Dyesebel were shoot.
