Caliraya Springs Resort and Marina Resort, is a private resort with many amenities. Good place for
relaxation and enjoyment. Private vehicles are better to bring rather than take
public utility vehicles. We were planning to hire a van but we didn’t. Here’s
how we got there.
South Station in Alabang, Muntinlupa then took a bus,
Greenstar with a signage of Sta. Cruz. Told the conductor to drop us off in
Pagsawitan, that’s in boundary of Pagsanjan and Sta. Cruz, Laguna. The fare was
102.00 pesos.
From Pagsawitan we crossed the road then took a jeep with
signage of Sta. Cruz. Told the driver to drop us off in the terminal of the
jeep to LUMOT. The fare was 8.00 pesos.
The jeepneys going to Lumot pass by the Pagsawitan, its just
that you cant take a jeepney with available seats because before the jeepney
left the terminal its already full, that’s why we were advised to go to the
jeepney terminal instead.
From the jeepney terminal of in Sta. Cruz, we rode the jeep
with the signage of LUMOT. Told the driver to drop us of in Caliraya springs
Golf Club and Marina Resort. The fare was 34.00 pesos.
By the gate of the resort there is a tricycle. One way trip
is 100.00 pesos.
You should take tricycle because the clubhouse is far from
the gate. It’s advisable to take your own vehicle or rent a car or van because
the waiting time taking the public utility vehicles is long.
Expect a ride in going to Lumot with overloaded passengers.
Actually some of the passengers argue with the driver because he was still
loading even the back, had many, the front of the windshield had already
sitting on and even on his left side, he let a passenger sat beside him. Some
were on the topload. It was scary in some points because the road is narrow and
uphill. It was an adventure indeed. The last trip of the jeepneys is 4:00 pm.
The locals are nice, friendly, and easy to talk to.
If you want to have a weekend get away and don’t want to get
far from the Metro. This one is for you.
