Tourists will now have an opportunity to travel around the pristine waters of Taal Lake with the launch of the “Lady of the Lake,” a 30-ft. Catamaran cruiser from Lima Park Hotel, a prime business and leisure hotel located at the Lima Technology Center in Batangas.
Taal Lake happens to be a favorite spot located just 60 kilometers from Manila. The 60-minute sightseeing tour which will start from Balete, Batangas includes stopovers at the islands of Napayong, Pira-Piraso, Bubuin, Binintiang Malaki, and Binintiang Munti that serves as a sanctuary for migratory herons and egrets.
The first establishment to offer a lake tour, Lima Park Hotel remains true to its vision to make the area a top tourist destination in the country. The cruise around the 30-seater boat serves as the new addition to the hotel’s offerings for the “Bisita Batangas” campaign initiated by the hotel in 2013 in collaboration with the local government of Batangas.
Aside from organizing various tours that promote the recreational, religious, and cultural sites of Batangas, the hotel also offers a spiritual tour where guests and devotees can visit the different churches in Lipa City, which has been able to retain its deep religious traditions. Known as the “Little Rome of the Philippines,” Lipa is the seat of the Archdiocese of Batangas and is home to a number of notable Catholic chapels and churches.
Batangas is also recognized for preserving its ancestral houses like Casa de Segunda, considered a Heritage House by the National Historical Institute and was named after Segunda Solis Catigbac, the grand matriarch of the old rich Katigbak family. Segunda was also romantically linked to Jose Rizal before she married Manuel Luz, another prominent name in the area. Built in the 1880s, the house’s arrangement, solidity, and history have made it one of the must-see repositories in Batangas.
Nestled in a highly industrialized zone, the Lima Park Hotel – which has a four-star rating from the Department of Tourism – is widely recognized for its excellent customer service and has made a name for itself in the hospitality industry with its top-notch facilities, world-class menu, and accommodating staff. The hotel is also noted for providing DOT-approved PWD (persons with disability)accommodations.
