Canyon Cove - Day Trip Disappointment

Canyon Cove in Nasugbu, Batangas was a true disappointment for our day trip beach excursion. The beach was littered with garbage, the waters were brown and filthy. While this may be attributed to the fact that the past few days have been quite stormy, there's still no getting around the fact that the resort has no suitable showers for their day tour guests. The only showers available are the cluster situated next to the beach and pool areas (meant for pre-shower before jumping in the waters) and a line of around half a dozen showers set up outside the public toilets, in full view of the resort facilities. The toilet has three measly stalls and is often crowded.

Another proof of the beach's lackluster appeal was that majority of the guests preferred to use the pool instead of the actual beach. Unfortunately, the pool waters were also murky and peppered with sand and leaves.

To add to our frustrations, the restaurants refused to serve day tour guests because the resort was fully booked. This rendered the consumable P300 coupon useless. I tried using the coupon at the beach shop, only to be informed that the coupon was only valid at the restaurant. We left shortly after in search of food and better entertainment value. At P800/person, this day trip was a certified bust!
