One of my colleague, introduced me these three sites that offers great deals and discounts namely, Ensogo, MetroDeal, and CashCashPinoy. So, i checked these three websites and found great deals. It was October then, when Ensogo, offered great discount of 50% on double room accommodations in Microtel Batangas plus breakfast for two (2) and Free Enchanted Kingdom Day Passes for two (2). What a great deal right? 

This was my second purchase thru online. The first one was at CashCashPinoy where i bought two (2) vouchers offering 45% OFF! Authentic Filipino Food at Sérye QC! Only P275 for P500 Worth of Mouthwatering Filipino Food & Drinks at Sérye Cafe Filipino Quezon Memorial Circle! Click here to see my food trip at Sérye QC. 

Once you purchased online, you have options when it comes to payment, you can pay online using creditcards, ATM online, or over the counter on selected Banks. In my case, i paid over the counter thru BDO (must be paid with in 24 or 48 hours once you start purchasing). 

Going to back to Microtel Batangas, there are times this hotel offers special promo, visit their website to get more updates. Microtel Batangas is located inside the "First Philippine Industrial Park", the benchmark for Philippine Industrial Park. Click here to read related articles. 

Main Entrance

Inside The Park 

The park is located along provincial road but unloading of passengers is not allowed in front of the said park. Just told the conductor of the bus to drop you near the "First Philippine Industrial Park".  From the point were you have dropped by, a hundred meters of walk  for you reach the main entrance.

The Mini Pool 

Microtel Batangas is accessible to the South Luzon Expressway which connects Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, and Batangas. This hotel is really highly recommended . Rooms were both comfortable and affordable. Hotel staff were friendly and hospitable. They attend very well to requests. There is a mini-pool located at inside the hotel premises, which is also a good feature of the hotel. You will get to enjoy the nature's view while in the pool. Breakfast for hotel guests are great, its a buffet style. You don't need to outside to look for your food because they serve excellent inter-continental food all day. The First Philippine Industrial Zone, where the hotel is located, is quiet and clean. Hotel guests can stroll or jog within the park in the morning and or in the afternoon.
