I know most of these days, many organizations or company/corporation planning to have a summer outing. Fresh air and sunshine are great ingredients for a team building.This is perfect for the organization which help employees to enhance their social relations with each other. They can relax, bond and build a good relationship.
This year, our branch outing held at Playa Calatagan, Batangas last March 12-13, 2016. It is a residential 3-storey grey house with a huge swimming pool near the Calatagan beach. We booked for two days and one night for PHP 20,000 max 20 persons. (Additional 500 for extra person max 30 persons can accommodate)
Check in time : 2:00 pm
Check out time : 12:00 pm
The owner named Ester not strict with the time as long as there is no guest before you and after you, you can come as early at 10:00 am and check out at 2:00 pm.

(Since we only rented car from a friend of my workmate, I can only show you the direction via car)
This place is approximately 3-hour drive. From South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) you will exit to Sta. Rosa going to Tagaytay then right going to Nasugbu then left at Shell (dead end) to Lian St. to Calatagan then right at the church then left at 2nd corner (M. Apacible St) then follow sign to Playa Calatagan. It is 7 mins away to Playa Calatagan. You can see the white and blue colored church at the left then Voila! You will see the grey house at the right. (229 Apacible St,) I suggest you can use google map going to Playa Calatagan for easy direction lol. You can also call the owner for she can help with you.

As a first timer, I really enjoyed this place with great people. Aside from the thing that this was funded by the company, I got the chance to bond and relax with my workmates. Seeing them with no make up made me really comfortable with them. And also I did not feel away from my own home, because with them I feel at home with a great chef, loving and fun to be with ma'am and sir. :)
All in all, our summer outing are so worth it. I am looking forward for more with them.
I rate this place 4 out of 5. Not perfect because of the beach with a lot of moss.

So here's some of additional things you should know if your planning on going here:
- Before going straight to the house, you should buy all the things you need because market is really far from this place.
- According to the owner, there is a white-sand beach near the place, you can rented a boat going there for PHP 100 per pax. (We did not try this one because the waves were so strong that time.)
- Beside the pool there is an abandoned pool (Maybe because of the water consumption)
- There's a Videoke for rent
- NO WIFI
