Eagle Point Resort: A Must-Visit Dive Resort in Anilao, Batangas
Anilao is known for its snorkeling and diving spots. Recently, Hali and I stayed at Eagle Point Resort, one of the best dive resorts in Anilao, Batangas.
Eagle Point Resort is built in 6 hectares of seaside forest and boasts complete facilities for diving including its own dive center and saltwater pool. It has access to great underwater spots in Anilao, Batangas.
Our stay at Eagle Point Resort
We went here via private car, which is the easiest way to get here. From the main road in Bagalangit, we took a righ turn to the resort. The road was narrow and enclosed in a forest clump, so at first we were unsure if we were going the right way. Then we reached the parking lot and left our car there.
A shuttle took us further down the mountainside to Eagle Point Resort.
Our room
The check-in process was easy, and soon we were in our room in Eagle Point Resort’s Terrace Hotel. The Hotel features mediterranean-style rooms which overlooks the Balayan Bay. The rooms have balconies with either seaside view or jungle view.
Ours have a seaside view. It’s what I liked most about our accommodation. During our stay, I spent hours here reading an ebook or listening to music.


Our room also has its own private bathroom, satellite TV and a small refrigerator. It is airconditioned, but ours wasn’t working well so what we did during the night was open the balcony doors to let the air in.
Food
Eagle Point Resort has its own restaurant which serves Filipino and international cuisine. Again, I love the strategic location of the restaurant as you can have a corner table facing the ocean.
During weekends, buffet is offered in the resort. As we were there on a weekday, we had ala carte items.
The food is usually priced at P300-400 per dish good for 1 person. The food is okay, but there is still room for big improvement. We did enjoy selected items including the chicken plate with mango sauce, gamba, and for dessert calamansi cake.


We also liked the breakfast buffet, which is given in generous portions.

Activities
We went here on August, and unfortunately for the 2 days we were there, the coast guard has cancelled any trips to the ocean. We weren’t able to try snorkeling which I was excited about or introductory scuba. The staff offered to let us experience scuba diving in the saltwater reef pool.

However, we decided to just hang outside and then later on swim in the pools.

The resort has a double-level swimming pool with a great ocean view.

The pools are connected via waterslide. This is something I can imagine families will easily enjoy.



We were still able to take a visit to Sepoc Beach Center, an exclusive beach cove owned by Eagle Point Resort in Sepoc Island. The Sepoc Beach Center has a nice beach with semi-white sand, surrounded by highstone cliffs. It also has an open-sided dining area, function areas, and a bar which is used for group activities such as celebrations and team building.



Hali and I took a swim in the beach cove. We also snorkeled for a while. As the waves were still rough, our boatmen advised us we could only stay there for a limited time. As alternative, they asked us if we wanted to go to the other side of the island where the water is calmer, but unfortunately it’s not owned by the resort and we didn’t bring any cash for entrance fees so we just went back to the resort where we spent the rest of our time in the pools.
Final thoughts
Eagle Point Resort is huge. It’s highlight is its access to snorkeling and diving spots. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see those due to the weather. Prior to our visit, I had already rescheduled thrice because of typhoons and then during our stay the coast guard cancelled tours and activities. I suggest going here during the dry season/amihan season to make the most of your stay.
I like that they pools, so even if you’re not a snorkeler/diver yourself or you have kids with you, then there’s something you can do. Access to a private cove in Sepoc Island is also a plus point.
Our room was good — as I said above, I loved the veranda with the seaside view. It was relaxing to just stay there.
The food in the restaurant can be improved.
Overall, despite the weather, our stay here was good. I’d like to go back here to check out the house reef and try our the nearby diving sites.
