Batis Aramin Resort and Hotel: Lucban's Refreshing Destination

Sure, hiking through Villa Elma or Kamay ni Hesus is rewarding. You know - great exercise, fresh mountain air, epic views, and peace and quiet. But there is nothing more rewarding than a hike that ends with a dip in a cold mountain spring. And with Lucban being situated at the foot of Mount Banahaw, several spring resorts have sprouted up all over the town. You can drop by one of these resorts after your pilgrimage.

It is approximately 500 meters from Kamay ni Hesus and 8 kilometers from the town center of Lucban. When driving along the highway, look out for a narrow road across Kamay ni Hesus and follow that to reach the entrance gate to the resort. When commuting, Batis Aramin can be reached within 10 to 15 minutes by tricycle from the town.

Experience
We decided to visit Batis Aramin Resort and Hotel on a Monday morning. There were only a few other guests that day so it was good timing for us!

Upon entering, we felt ourselves unwinding as the resort is set in hectares of lush tropical gardens with noticeably cooler fresh air. Then we started getting into fun mode when we saw the swimming pools filled with crystal clear waters. It sure is a place where the mood is both relaxed and fun. Because of this, we spent hours enjoying the much-needed change of scenery and the leisurely facilities of Batis Aramin.
