Apartment 1B Laiya: Beachfront gourmet dining in Batangas
The gourmet comfort food we had at Apartment 1B made our overnight stay at The Henry in Laiya a beach getaway and a food trip rolled into one! It's just a wonderful selling point - to have a real restaurant at a resort. A few weeks back, we were at Camp Netanya in Anilao, and my sister and I were thinking, what if the Santorini inspired architecture came with food from established Greek restaurants like Cyma or Cafe Mediterannean? The food in Camp Netanya was so-so. Ok, but not memorable. Which is not the case with Apartment 1B! Our dining experience was a highlight of our stay!
We started with cocktails at sunset. The staples did not disappoint. In preparing our Pina Colada and Margarita the bartender did not scrimp on ingredients. And the shady garden setting, airy-loungy feel, and the stretch of beach and view of the sea right in front of us just made us feel driving out here was worth the trip.
Our kids were done swimming and they just wanted to do their own thing. The older boy needed wifi to connect with his friends, so he stayed in our room, while the younger boy roamed around the garden and beach, exploring and picking up leaves, sticks, and stones. We just let him be. Our table was right by the beach and garden and we can keep him within sight while he let his imagination run wild with his natural discoveries.
