How
to get there: If you’re traveling in a group. it would be better to
use a van or a private vehicle because there are no public
transportations that pass directly through this place. I advise that you
travel during the day.
Travel time: 1.5-2.5 hours away from Manila depending on the traffic.

Budget: Not more than 4,500 each (3 days and 2 nights) for a group of 40+
Punta De Fabian is a nice, quiet place located in Baras, Rizal. I went there with my classmates for our final exam in Introduction to Law.
The
place is perfect for retreat and team building because it is quiet and
it has a good view of Laguna De Bay. The rooms are well-cleaned and the
rates are "quite" affordable too.

The
rooms range from 3000(single)-7000php(double-triple occupancy),
however, you can get discounts if you're with a group. I guess each
student in our class paid for less than 4,500 for 3days and 2nights. We
were around 40 in class. Of course, it includes breakfast, lunch, meals
and afternoon snacks.

It
has a game room wherein you can play billiards, chess and other indoor
games. I like the Karaoke area. It also has a medium-sized function
room that can accommodate 30-50 people. And, it has a place perfect for
team building.
Pool & Reception Area
I
really like the rooms because they're spacious, stylish and modern. The foods
that they served us were indeed, healthy and delicious although I heard
that the foods are a bit pricey.
They
have a big and small pool and one infinite pool. You have to be careful
though, make sure the pool is clean before you swim. Staff were very accommodating. Just a tip, they “kind of” lack medicines there, so it
would be better if you bring your own.

I will never forget this place. This is where I fell in love with him.
