Stella Mariz Resort – The 50-Peso Haven

24 Comments

Where can you find a peaceful and relaxing place worth 50 pesos?

Enjoy the beach and take shelter under the towering Agoho trees of Stella Mariz Beach Resort in Bagac, Bataan. The place is just 3 – 4 hours away from Manila and perfect for your weekend getaway. Entrance fee is only Php50 for day tour or P100 overnight.

The Place

The charm of this place is that you can spend a day in quietness and just relax. You can pitch your tent and cook your food for free. And if you have a hammock with you, certainly the place is perfect for you.  The sand is not as white as the other beaches but it is clean and revitalizing. There are tables and cottages for rent and even boats to take you to the nearest island  – Looc Beach and Playa La Caleta.

At night, make sure to bring a flashlight or any lighting to keep you guided as the place is really dark. Keep your garbages  elevated to avoid being scattered by dogs or goats.

Food

Buy your food in advance as there are no stores inside the resort. You can buy your stuff in Bagac market before heading to Stella Mariz.

Review

Stella Mariz Beach Resort is a nice and quiet place to stay and enjoy your weekend. Though not yet developed, the resort can accommodate groups and walk-in guests. The resort may lack in terms of rooms and access to stores. They are probably addressing these because we saw some constructions being built in the area.

    1. Hi Janica,

      When we went there, they have this bonfire area. Hopefully, it’s the same setup this year. 🙂
