Punta Baluarte: An ideal family bonding place

Punta Baluarte is an ideal family bonding place. It is nestled on two verdant hillsides overlooking the majestic Balayan Bay and the South China Sea. The view is breathtaking.

Punta Baluarte’s lush, tropical surroundings make it ideal for outdoor games such as horseback riding, tennis, biking, basketball, volleyball and target shooting, although facilities for indoor activities like darts and billiards are available. Avid golfers can avail themselves of a pre-arranged round of golf at the nearby Calatagan Golf Club.

Getting around this sprawling resort complex is no problem if you don’t want to strain your leg muscles because in-house jeepneys will take you anywhere in the resort. Also, if you dislike having to drive all the way to Batangas, you can always take the Punta Express. For P400 per person (one way), you will be driven to the resort in the luxury of an airconditioned coach that leaves the driveway of the Hotel Intercontinental promptly at 7:30 a.m.

The fare at Punta Baluarte is a delectable mix of Filipino and Continental cuisines. Fresh produce from the sea and nearby farms abounds in the menu of Pagapas Café, the resort’s main restaurant.

Punta Baluarte has packaged rates for family and corporate activities, even weddings or special occasions, and also for twosomes on a budget.
