A name is a powerful tool that evokes certain images. The image could be good or bad, but if you’re marketing something, you try to evoke something positive. Take an eagle, for instance. It’s a symbol of strength and power, used in the US emblem and designated as the Philippine national bird. It’s also a symbol of freedom, with an eagle’s powerful wings gliding through the open sky.

Perhaps those set of traits comes to mind when you hear Eagle Point Resort (Anilao, Batangas). I realized three things on our way to this resort.
-
- Eagles at Eagle Point, Anilao

- Floating cottage at Eagle Point, Anilao

- Main building at Eagle Point, Anilao
First, are there eagles in Eagle Point? Yes, there are eagles at Eagle Point Resort, but these majestic birds are in cages (also sea turtles and sharks) Unless you’re a diehard animal rights advocate, it doesn’t really matter because you go there not for bird watching, but to enjoy the clear and clean waters, the secluded atmosphere, and the surprisingly good food. You go there to unwind and relax.

Second, I was expecting a great beachfront. There was no white sand and no beach area, unfortunately, but the seawater is clear and clean. We still enjoyed the sea. Plus there’s a swimming pool, with slides, for those who prefer fresh water.

Third, it’s a long drive. After 4-5 hours of driving from Manila, you go through a stretch of dirt road, then through a very narrow road — steep at certain points — carved out off the cliff. I believe it’s all worth it, though. As in Sagada, maybe it’s true that you have to go through hell to reach paradise.
Anyway, for romantic getaways (or, for any reason, you just want stay away from the crowd), the stand-alone cottages at the edge of the resort are highly recommended. You could read more about Eagle Point Resort, including directions on how to get there, through its website. See also here.

[...] How to Get There. Leisure Dive Resort is situated in Barangay Ligaya, Mabini, Batangas. If you’re driving from Manila (around 2.5 hours of driving), take the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) then drive through the entire length of it. Don’t take the last exit because that would take you around a loop towards Calamba, Laguna — which is the opposite direction (although you could always take a u-turn). Take the exit around 5 meters from the last exit point (that’s the first exit after the bridge, and the bridge is right after the toll plaza…whew). Take a right turn towards the Star Tollway and if you get into the center of Santo Tomas (Batangas), you’ve passed the Star Tollway exist by around half a kilometer. The Star Tollway is a nice highway, with less vehicles using it, which means that you don’t have to worry about traffic along the tollway. Before, you’ll have to get off the Lipa Exit, but now you don’t have to. Drive until the end of the line (Balagtas exit). Go straight (but go around the rotonda first; I mean, take the second right around the rotunda). This is the direction towards the Batangas City Pier or Bauan. You’ll encounter a flyover, but don’t go through it; take the rightmost lane then turn right under the flyover. This will lead you through Bauan proper. Just ask directions how to get to Mabini. When you hit a rotonda, go right towards the Anilao pier. Before hitting the pier, turn left. From that intersection, the Leisure Dive Resort is around 6 kilometers away (so look at your odometer so you won’t be wondering if you’ve passed by the resort. You’ll pass through Leisure Dive Resort before Eagle Point. [...]
