Comments	Very expensive charges for boat and so very poor value. Very long drive (5+ hours)from Manila in terrible traffic. Do NOT recommend this "resort" to anyone. There is excellent opportunity to see muck critters, but try one of the many hotels further down the coast, which look a lot better and must be better run, from which you can shore dive. If you do go to Villa Ligaya, beware of extra charges and unless you really like Spam, bring your own food.
