The Philippine Flag
Nasugbu is in the province of Batangas and has some of the Philippines' finest beaches, many with clear blue waters, coves and white sands. Resorts have been and continue to be developed along the shores of these beaches. Luxurious and not so luxurious accommodations and dining facilities are found here, all catering to local and foreign tourists. A number of them have banquet halls and offer water sports such as diving, swimming and waterskiing, in addition to having scenic sunsets and surroundings.
JohnDel Beach Resort
After local businessman John Ilao started this resort in the 1980s, a number of similar facilities sprouted along the Apacible Boulevard area where Johndel stands. Located about 40 miles or two hours from the Philippine capital of Manila, JohnDel Beach Resort has 36 fully air-conditioned rooms with TV, ref and hot and cold shower. Guests may also choose to stay in any of two native cottages. There is a pool for swimming, even as swimming is possible in the South China Sea fronting the resort. A boat ride along the length of Nasugbu and other nearby beaches is a recommended fun activity. JohnDel has a multi-function room that seats up to 150 people.
