We've been planning to go to Calatagan for weeks but it rained every time, so one weekend we decided to simply go in spite of the stormy weather. It was a long, wet road travel - Sunrise Cove was at the end of a cliffy area. There's parking but it is not covered. We paid php12k/night for the main family room (a hut with 3 bedrooms - 2 aircon rooms and 1 fan room). We're a family traveling with 2 kids (6 and 7 years old), and a college son, and a friend from Beijing. The main aircon room has its own toilet and bath; the other 2 rooms do not, but there's one common T&B. Both have hot and cold shower, and pail and dipper are also available. There's a spacious kitchen with a functioning ref and sink. There's a hot and cold dispenser but there's no water. Turned out, we're supposed to order water but due to the weather, delivery was not available. Good thing we brought plenty of mineral water. The rooms were cozy but for 12k we expected amenities - we were disappointed as there were no towels provided and only one tissue roll was available. No shampoo, soap, toothpaste were provided either. Good thing we came complete with our own toiletries. The sea waters, in spite of the moss and weeds, were clean enough to swim in, but too shallow for adults. There were also dogs and cats loitering on the beach. Fortunately the following day the rains subsided and there's an available boat ride (for 500 per head, kids at half the price; snorkel rental at 200 each). We went snorkeling and the kids were happy with the variety of fishes we saw and there were lots of clown fish (though they were caged underwater, as if they were being bred). There's an "infinity pool" back at the resort but due to the rains we only dipped in for around 30 minutes. The scenery was relaxing both at day and at night. Next time we'll visit Calatagan though, we'll explore a different resort to compare price versus value. Aside from the hefty 12k (we could have gotten a deluxe or better hotel room at this price in other Batangas hotels), the food was overpriced. We spent an average of 1000 per meal (1 breakfast, 2 lunches, 1 dinner (yes, at 12k breakfast is not free!). Food dishes were limited to sinigang, chopsuey, liempo (there were others in the menu but not available, (probably they couldn't go to market due to the rains). But serving size is just right and there's a free one refill for brewed coffee (priced at php50). Cooking and bringing your own food were not allowed, even though there's a spacious kitchen. No room service - we either ate at the restaurant or placed our orders ahead of time and then picked up the food from the restaurant to our cottage. We enjoyed the rainy weekend nonetheless, although we really felt we could have gotten more for the amount we spent on food and accommodation. The staff and the owner, and the boatmen, were friendly and accommodating by the way, so that's one consolation aside from the scenery.

Pricey for what it offers

Spent 2n. Firs time to visit the place and it was an amazing experience with exceeding our expectation. 
 Place was real serene that almost took your breath away (in a few seconds hahaha). Natural beauty. 12kms away from Calatagan proper, so ready all your goodies before heading to the resort.
 NO food and drink corkage. But they also have kitchen available each cottages with minimal cost using gas. They also have short list Menu like Pasta, Rice meal and typical drinks to offer.
 Well, we tried Carbonara with crispy bacon for PHP175(good for 2), Tapsilog with bottled water for PHP 175 and Longganisa Hamonado with bottled water for PHP 175. Taste is acceptable.
 Our room was not that small, Honeymoon suite as they say. Ample space with a view, please don't expect too much glamour since you are in a beach not a luxury hotel.
 The whole place was a bit windy maybe because of the Habagat. Lots of sea creatures; starfish, sea cucumber, sea snake (harmless), sea grass. Love their infinity pool.

Beyond Expectation

We were so excited to see what's SC can offer. To our surprise, place was so chilling tranquil, not over crowded, windy when arrived but no typhoon, as in breath taking view of mother nature. Our room was not lavish, but still its beyond our expectation with large verandah/kitchen.
They also offer infinity pool  and short listed food menu.
All in all,we fell in love in the whole place. The serenity feeling, the epic wave of the ocean and sniffing noise of the bamboo blinds.
Though in some part embarrassed was tons of trash from the other side of the resort which we think it was came from neighbor beach.
BTW, SC is 12kls away from city proper. So bring all your goodies, sunny shades, etc.

I was a bit hesitant first to book at Sunrise Cove in Agoda because it has only two stars but thank God I decided to check the details and read the reviews. To my surprise, the reviews are promising and pushed me to book here. I have also checked the reviews here on Tripadvisor as an additional reference. 

No regrets after all. I and my family really had a great stay in Sunrise Cove and I would like to point out some details: 

Positive: 
1. The place was secluded and a bit far from other resorts so you could really have the privacy. This is the perfect beach resort if you’re not into crowd. 
2. The resort’s theme will make you feel like you are so closed to nature and how to live a simple-province-type-of-life. 
3. There are kitchens in the room / cottage so you could bring / cook your own food without a corkage fee. However, using the kitchen has a 1000php charge. 
4. The staff are amazing and very hospitable. I would also commend Ms. Lira (the manager) for being so accommodating and considerate to our requests. The service is also astonishing! 
5. They are not too strict with the early check in / late check out requests because again, the staff are so accommodating. Because I have encountered some resorts that will charge you even if you are just extending for an hour only.
6. The staff regularly clean up the beach 
7. The resort strictly follow garbage segregation. 
8. The resort lives up to its name, they do have an amazing sunrise ❤️

Neutral / Negative: 
1. The facilities / cottages need improvement. They are already bit old. The hot and cold shower’s not working and the bathroom floor (tiles) needs a major clean up. 
2. No towels / toilettries so you better bring your own. 
3. Even if the staff regularly clean up the beach, you could still encounter trash :( I guess the trash comes from nearby islands / places and it is just disheartening to see. 
4. The beach has been overpopulated by seagrass so if you are looking for a crystal blue sea, this is not the beach for you. 
5. The airconditioners (horsepower) do not fit for the size and the design of the rooms / cottage. But, It gets colder at night so you could still sleep well.
6. They need to change their bedsheets. It has already stains and you could feel that it is already aged.
7. Unstable internet connection (but on a positive note: you could take this chance to have your social media detox)
8. They need proper (bigger) signage going to the resort. And a strong marketing would also help. 

Despite the negative points, we really had a great stay and I would still definitely recommend Sunrise Cove. 

Thank you Sunrise Cove! 

One of the best destinations in Calatagan, Batangas

First of, you’ve already passed by almost all resorts in Calatagan before you reach the place. (which could sometimes be a good thing if you’re looking for serenity) We had arranged for the loft house as it is the only available beachfront hut they have. I was not too pleased with the loft so we were also given the option of Casa Blanca. Before you could get there, you have to take a good 50steps up. The view was amazing, hands down. But the Casa was not maintained at all. Doesn’t smell fresh, trash everywhere, broken furnitures. We ended up choosing the Loft House as it is not convenient to go down 60-70meters from casa (where the pool is, note:small) to the beach. The Loft was not so beach fronting, you have to take few stairs and steps. Again, room was not fresh, sheets too. Ended up using our own airbed and pillows. We had to borrow a broom also and cleaned the house ourselves. Also, There were A LOT of mosquitoes, i was surprised seeing my feet the morning after, having too many bites! I was wearing pjs and fully covered above so only my feet was targeted, & they did quite a feast to it! My daughter’s friend had to take anti-histamine for having gotten to many bites herself. In the middle of the night, there was the sound of “tuko” which bothered me. I haven’t got to sleep anymore. Upon arrival, since there were not much of guests yet, the place was peaceful but came more and this is not the place you’ll go to if you’re looking for peace & quiet. The Main House thou was really fronting the beach & is good for families. The resort was also pet-friendly which makes it a good thing! Staff were also nice. But Overall not impressed with the place as there is a lot to improve on, lot of maintaining to do most especially when it comes to the rooms and facilities. 

Lot to Improve

We were so excited to spend our long weekend at Calatagan because I've heard a lot about the place specially Stilts Resort. Unfortunately, Playa Calatagan and Stilts were fully booked so we reserved at Sunrise Cove Beach resort.

We passed by all the resorts in Calatagan as Sunrise Cove I beleive ia the farthest so we were really expecting a lot. When we got near the place, our excitement was replaced by anxiety as the roads leading to the resort is very poor and rough. It was around 2pm when we arrived and when we checked the place, we are skeptical because the bed sheets and linens were uncomfortable as it doesn't look clean. The pool is very small and you have to walk a plight of stairs to reach it.. The worst thing about the place is the beach.. There are a lot of sea weeds and very dirty so we really were not able to swim. Travelling that far and passing through a lot of resorts makes disappoints you on what you will find. If only we didn't have to make a deposit we would have cancelled. We ended up lying that we have an emergency so we could leave the place and ask for a refund.. unfortunately, one can not refund their payment because they said that they have reserved the place for us and they have to turn down inquiries. What's funny about that is they are not fully booked to turn down inquiries.

The room they have by the way does not even have a lock so you can not leave your room to go to the pool and swim.
