Together with my Friends Forever barkada, we went out of the metro and visit down South – Batangas to relax and disconnect from the bustling city. Cintai Corito’s Garden is situated at Sitio Pandayan, Leviste Hwy, Balete, 4219 Batangas. We are literally unplugged since there is no Wifi for guests and the internet connection thru mobile data is very poor. We are then forced to just enjoy the place and our time together.

From Manila, Cintai Corito’s Garden is 2 hours drive away. Cintai is pronounced as Chin-tai which means “love” in Indonesia.

Since we are nine (9) in the group, we booked the Garden Villa. It has three (3) queen-size beds and added three (3) extra bed. Inside has a cute center table and a personal refrigerator, and outside is an exclusive terrace.

We booked the accommodation via Agoda where we able to get the discount. It is inclusive of buffet breakfast.

There is also a pavilion where special events or banquet can be held. Occasionally, they offer yoga and meditation sessions in the wonderful open space.

One of the amenities that we enjoy is the swimming pool. They have 4 swimming pools in the area. Since it is surrounded by a garden, it is totally relaxing.

Another thing that could make the trip more comforting is by visiting the Spa area and availing their full body massage (Shiatsu or Sweddish). It costs P1000 per hour per person and offers 10% discount for minimum of 4 persons. They can accommodate 2 persons at a time.

Cintai Corito’s Garden is worth visiting especially when you intend to find serenity, connect to nature or to pamper yourself. Since it is a Bali-inspired place, there are many Instagrammable spots. The whole place is beautiful and the staffs are very accommodating.
