Owned by famed hairdresser Ricky Reyes, the beach resort was built on a 20-hectare property in Barangay Uno, Calatagan, said to be the marketplace for transient Chinese traders during the pre-Spanish era.

Marian Orchard at Brgy. Malabanan, Balete, Batangas

Easter Sunday for some Batanggenyo can be well spend by going to this secluded place in the town of Balete Batangas. The place is called the Marian Orchard, located on a hill overlooking the Taal Volcano. It is a nice place to visit if you want to enjoy the beauty of nature and savour the moment with God. They have a of Mother Mary statue on top of a tall building where climbing is a must to enjoy the scenic view of the volcano nearby. A church, flower garden, station of the cross are some of the places you can see inside the orchard.
Not just flowers and fruits. Not just a shrine or  a park BUT A PRESENCE OF CHRIST!–Marian Orchard.
