Pico De Loro

Unfold paradise in 
Pico De loro






Hidden at the outermost part of Nasugbu Batangas, Pico De Loro is a Beach and County Club that offers a distinctive exclusivity and privacy of a leisure club.


Familiar with PuntaFuego and Munting Buhangin?
You'll get to pass by those known resorts on your way to Pico De Loro. Its the same old route you take. SLEX - Tagayatay - Nasugbu or Cavite - Tagayatay - Nasugbu. However Pico de Loro is an additional 30 minutes from Punta Fuego and Munting Buhangin. Rough estimate of 2.5-3 hours travel time from Manila, but every minute is worth it as you arrive in paradise.





Pico de Loro is an EXCLUSIVE Beach and Country Club that has residential units as well. As I do my research, membership in Pico de Loro range about  Php 500,000.00 and Condo Units will range around Php 4.5M - 6.5M. Pico De Loro is actually just the beginning of Hamilo Coast's development under SM Land. Yes, Henry Sy. You did it again.

We are not a member and don't know one as well in Pico De Loro.
Wonder how we got IN?

Some people who bought condo units in Pico de Loro use it as their rest house, family house, vacation house and since MOST of them of course don't stay that often in Pico De Loro because they do have jobs and own errands here in the Metro, they use it as their "extra-kick" business. How? By "FOR RENT".

Yes, that is correct. For RENT. Fully furnished condo units for rent for those people who, well, can't afford the membership.

My friend was the one who was able to look for this condo unit for rent at Sulit.com

Php 5,500.00 per night
  • Check in 2PM / out 2PM
  • Good up to 4-6 Persons
  • 1 Queen size bed
  • 1 Sofa Bed
  • Plasma LED TV with Cable and DVD
  • Kitchen with utensils, plates, plates mats, glasses, rice cooker, refrigerator, cooking pans and etc.
  • Balcony with dinning table
In short, FULLY FURNISHED with a very classy interior and CLEAN.







At first, when my friend told me that we are going to rent a condo owned by a member in Pico de Loro, I was hesitant. What if its not clean? What if its old? What if it smells like old wet towels kept inside an old closet? But every "what if" that I had in my mind changed. Its is way better than a hotel room. My friend told me that both the care taker and the owner was nice and if you have any questions at all, you can just call or text them up. 

Kitchen is complete with utensils, plates, plates mats, glasses, rice cooker, refrigerator, cooking pans and etc.That's why we just brought our own food and cooked it their. Raw meats and some rice husked good for dinner by Tuesday, breakfast and lunch by Wednesday.

Besides the rent which again cost Php 5,500.00, you would need to pay Php 500.00 each person for the like "entrance fee" of guests for your access within the vicinity, beach and pool. Hey, its better than paying an estimated amount of Php500,00.00 for Pico de Loro's 

FUN DAY PASS!!
Luckily during our stay they have an existing promo for both guest and members.
 For only 1,500.00 each person, you get to enjoy a LOT of water, indoor and outdoor activities to be used within the next 24 hours.Membership right?




Arrived Tuesday. Late 3pm. Settled our room, things and entrance stuff around 5pm. So we decided to do all activities by tomorrow. Morning will be for water activities and indoor outdoor by afternoon after we check out from the room.

Tuesday night, we enjoyed their infinity pool located at the Beach Country Club. It was nice and clean. Like very clean in every tile. Just make sure you are in PROPER swimming attire. Yes, they are strict about it.

Our dinner after a good and cold night swim. Thanks to Kuya JM's cookiiing!
