Last year, just around this time of the year, I went straight from work, took a bus and headed to Sanctuario de San Pablo. I met up with my cousins there because my cousin Stewart and his Mom discovered the place because it's en route to our grandma's house.

I love this place! I googled their website to check the rates but unfortunately the numbers there are out of service. (Yes I did call!) I hate it when the websites are not updated. I sent an email inquiry to Thunderbirds Poropoint Resort in La Union and never got a reply! ( Yes, the same thunderbirds resort where John and Estrada and Priscilla Meirelles got hitched last February). So I resorted to my last option which is to send Sanctuario de San Pablo an email inquiry. Nine days later, I got a reply:

Tips
How to get there:
(via commute)
- From Manila, take the bus going to LUCENA ( Bus stations are in Taft or QC)
- Ask the driver to drop you off at Sanctuario de San Pablo which is along the road.
- Sanctuario de San Pablo is located at : Brgy. San Francisco, Calihan ,San Pablo City, Laguna
(private transportation --- shucks, yes, I drive but I'm not really that good with directions but I will try to give decent instructions)
- Get a good driver that must be good with basic directions.
- If you're coming from Manila, take the route from SLEX-Batangas-Alaminos-San Pablo
- Once you're facing SPC Cathedral, take the right turn ( where the BPI bank is the nearest visible landmark) and go straight ahead turning left before road to Liana's.
- Go straight ahead, passing Max's restaurant and Coconut Palace.
- Slow down because after passing Max's Restaurant which is along the road, Sanctuario de San Pablo is just a couple of minutes after the restaurant on the left side of the road ( if the road you're on is bound for Lucena).
- I hope the instructions that I gave are somehow useful but if not...
- ASK the locals / Google Map it! :)
Other Good Stuff:
Happy R&R! :)
- Good Food - check!
- Good service - check!
- Privacy - check!
- Parking Space - check!
- Clean facilities - check!
- Was not able to check if they have Wifi ( I was still on Sabbatical writing break during that time so I didn't bother to check.)
Happy R&R! :)

It's easier if you drive thru the route going to Lucena, from SLEX. It's just a straight drive from Sto. Tomas, Alaminos, then San Pablo. Yes, it's still at the left, right after Max's Restaurant in San Pablo City, along Maharlika Hiway.
