It is always hard to find a resort where there is a beautiful view, nice ambiance, good facilities, accommodating staff, delicious food and affordable. I thought that these amenities are hard to find combined in one resort but Lilom Resort and Café proved me wrong.
Hidden at San Teodoro in Mabini, Batangas, Lilom Resort and Café offers a relaxing experience for its visitors. At first look of the place, I know that I have found a temporary home for an overnight stay.
Upon arriving, the staff will courteously offer a refreshing calamansi juice. We arrived a little too early that our room is not yet ready, but it is not a big problem especially if you are sitting idly with the cool winds taking off the summer heat. When the room was ready, the staff showed us our way and they even insist helping us carry our things.

One of the reasons we chose Lilom is because of its buffet meals of lunch, dinner and breakfast and an afternoon cocktail. Plus, they also have unlimited tea and coffee. This means we do not have to worry about what to eat and how to prepare our meals. It was a really worry-free vacation for us.

The view of the beach is so tempting that we decided to take a look at the shoreline after having our lunch. The shore is full of pebbles, small stones and dead corals that you will barely see any sand. There are lots of rocks lining up the shore. But the great thing about the rocks is that it creates a nice landscape at the sea. The water is clear and very refreshing once you dipped your feet into it.
The beach at Lilom is highly recommended for snorkeling as there are lots of marine animals in the area. Our fellow visitors are coming back and forth at the sea snorkeling and they are always awed by the different animals they see.

During sunset you will be captivated by the bright red orange color of the sky and its reflection at the water. At this time, the tide is low that you could see a huge portion of the sea covered by giant rocks. Aside from the sunset we also watched as fishermen ride their boats to the sea.

Most of the time that I spent at Lilom is reading a book. I don’t mind not getting soak into the water as the cool air from the sea is enough to refresh me from the summer heat. When we were at the mini pool at Lilom, my sister and I just idly sat there watching the sea. It was so relaxing watching the fluffy clouds rolls by the sky and observes the boats passing by the sea.

All in all it was a relaxing, refreshing and hassle-free vacation. I don’t mind paying Php 2,800.00 overnight stay because I was able to get what I paid for.
