As promised, I will be sharing to you guys my experience staying at the beautiful Pico De Loro Beach and Country Club! Once I said yes to the invite for Orly's Feel The Vibe Launch, I went to my "Google" friend and searched for the place and photos! It is one picturesque place worth visiting!
Upon arriving at the Hamilo Coast, we went straight to Pico Sands Hotel (where we will be staying for the night). I love the fact that the hotel has a lot of natural light coming in from all sides! The sunny-vibe is indeed very visible with the help of some greens.

Earth is my room mate, once we got in, it was so funny how we went straight to taking photos of the room before fixing ourselves!
The "veranda" is one great addition to the room and help makes it even more spacious! I enjoyed standing out there once in awhile to enjoy the view! I even had a nice chat with Mr. AMW outside before I went to bed!
The room has a mini fridge with complimentary water, coffee and tea!
The bathroom is quite spacious with another set of complimentary water, toothbrush, body lotion, shower cap, soap, shampoo and conditioner! Each hotel room has a blow dryer.
Pico Restaurant and Bar is located opposite the hotel entrance also a couple of steps away from the gorgeous pool! Pico restaurant specializes in Mediterranean cuisine while Pico Bar serves wide range of beverages including its signature fruit juices and Mojito blends.
Our lunch menu
Iced Tea
Cream Soup

It is very convenient to go around the Beach and Country Club, I just tell the guys right outside the hotel to help give shuttle service a call!
First stop: The Beach Club
This is located near the coastline where Arribada Lounge is located (where Orly's Feel the Vibe Launch happened). You get to enjoy other facilities like the swimming pool, which was an obvious hit when I was there!
The Beach, I gave a slow "internal whistle" (as I can't whistle at all! *laughs*) as the sands were fine and clean! Outdoor recreation activities like kayaking, windsurfing, scuba diving, fish feeding, trekking, nature biking and ATV are possible! All you need to do is to talk to the Outdoor Recreation Desk.
We only have a couple of minutes to walk around the beach front as we need to head back for a quick tour around Pico De Loro! I enjoyed how clean the area was and the sand are very fine.
Even for less than an hour "break", Earth, Trixie and I were able to enjoy and put "lounging" in action! :)
Second Stop: St. Therese of the Child Jesus Chapel
This chapel can be considered a great wedding destination! The chapel is made of metal and glass, not too big nor too small, just right for a solemn ceremony!
You also get to see panoramic views of Pico De Loro Cove
The famous "walkway" were most magazine shoots take place!
Third Stop: The Country Club
Whatever recreational activities you can think of, I think they are mostly available in this country club! I can live in this place forever!!! *laughs*
Once you enter the complex, you will be greeted with a huge "living room-like" area where you can easily get relaxed.
Fitness Center
Table Tennis and other racket sports area
Badminton and Tennis Court
Basketball Court
Studio for dancing
Game Room
for the computer game addicts out there!
Bowling and Billiards Hall
We headed back at Pico Sands Hotel for dinner and we had Bacon Salad, Fish and Vegetable Tempura and banana cakes!
Early morning, I'm glad Earth invited me for a walk at the beach! It was a good walk and a nice way to bid goodbye to the gorgeous-looking beach worth re-visiting!

Overall, I had a grand time staying at Hamilo Coast. Hamilo Coast is actually SM Land's premier coastal development in Nasugbu, Batangas.
How to get to Hamilo Coast?
- By Land: Travel through Tagaytay route going beyond to Nasugbu, Batangas taking approximately 2.5-3 hours.
- By air on a helicopter for 20 minutes from Mall of Asia Complex.
- By Ferry at Mall of Asia Complex to Hamilo Pier in Papaya Cove, Hamilo Coast for 1.5 hours.
Have you been to Pico De Loro?
