For the past couple of years, a lot of of us have been cocooned in the comforts of our sweet abodes, doing online classes or working from home or waiting for the pandemic to end. While tourism slowed down, lots of resort corporations used the time to improve their amenities, if not build completely new facilities. one of these is CaSoBe.
CaSoBe is short for Calatagan South Beach, a nickname for this part of the southwestern coast of the municipality. This 15-hectare residential-commercial estate is being marketed as the next tourism hotspot. It encompasses Aquaria Waterpark, Crusoe Cabins, and the brand new Cocoons.
Cocoons is owned and managed by Millennial Resorts Corporation. These special sleeping pods take the shape of huge cylindrical concrete drainage pipes, transformed into special colorful private nooks, reminiscent of capsule hotels and using an out-of-the-ordinary lodging experience. Presently, there are two Cocoon complexes in Batangas — one in Calatagan and the other in Laiya.
This post focuses on the Calatagan complex. There will be a total of 18 garden Cocoons in the CaSoBe property, all fully furnished and with complimentary WiFi. one of the greatest perks of booking a cocoon is having access not just to the beach but also the amenities of Aquaria Water Park next to it.
Interested in booking a night in one of these modern lodgings? here are some of the things to know before you go.

JOO. because of the limited number of cocoons, book your cocoon in development to safe your slot for your preferred date. It’s also best to book two to three weeks in advance; it might be a month or a lot more for height season dates.
Furthermore, the local government of Calatagan requires confirmed reservation before being allowed entry to the municipality. There is normally a checkpoint along the way.

We highly encourage you to still email them at cocoons.casobe@millennial-resorts.com after booking so you could ask for the current list of requirements and policies.
In our case, because we already have an existing day excursion arrangement for Aquaria Water Park that got postponed, we just contacted them by means of email to change it into an overnight stay at Cocoons. It was a smooth transaction considering that both of them are managed by Calatagan South beach (CaSoBe).

Milloin on paras aika mennä?
The a lot of ideal times are weekdays and off-peak seasons. The rates are normally more affordable compared to height season rates.
Otherwise, it’s best to plan and book way ahead of your intended arrival if you really can’t help going on a weekend, holiday, or height season.
How to get to Cocoons at CaSoBe from Manila
Cocoons at CaSoBe is located in Barangay Sta. Ana in Calatagan, Batangas. coming from Manila, the travel time is three to four hours, depending on traffic conditions.
By private Car
Traveling by means of private automobile is the safest option these days. going to Calatagan from Manila, the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) is the fastest route. another route is by means of Aguinaldo Highway. Whichever route you choose, road tripping is now much easier when you seek advice from Waze or Google Maps for direction.
From SLEX, you can either take Santa Rosa exit or Mamplasan Exit. The latter is a faster route with the launching of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX). ready your Autosweep and EasyTrip (if taking CALAX).
Whatever route you take, you will be driving along Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road. continue driving until you reach Tagaytay Rotonda.
Continue driving along Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road. You will reach the Batangas-Cavite boundary, driving past the arc with a “Welcome to Nasugbu” greeting.
Take a ideal turn when you reach the Palico Rotonda or junction. The landmarks are Jollibee and Caltex.
Continue driving along Palico-Nasugbu highway until you reach the Lian-Nasugbu Intersection / Rotonda. Your landmarks are Shakey’s and shell gasoline station.
Take the Calatagan-Lian Highway, passing through Lian town proper. There may be a checkpoint upon entry to Lian so make sure you have the requirements and tell the staff that you’re bound for Calatagan. continue driving until you reach the boundary of Calatagan and Lian.
You will reach the checkpoint where you need to present the travel requirements.
When you are already cleared, continue driving through Calatagan town proper. You will pass by Lago de Oro. follow the signs.
Continue driving, passing by Stilts. shortly after, you will see the CaSoBe entrance to your right.
Alternative Route: another route from SLEX is to continue driving to star Tollway then take Batangas City Exit. then drive through the towns of Bauan, Lemery, Calaca, and Balayan to reach Calatagan.
Julkisilla liikennevälineillä
Most buses bound for Batangas can now be found at the Parañaque integrated terminal exchange (PITX). Unfortunately, we haven’t tried this yet. but based on information posted at the terminal, here’s the ticket booth task and location, trip assignment, and operating hours:
If the bus strip will not travel all the way to Calatagan and will only stop in Nasugbu, you can ride a jeepney from Nasugbu to Calatagan town Proper. then hail a tricycle to CaSoBe (or Aquaria). The fare is P200, but you can add a idea if you want.
Is there a checkpoint going to Calatagan?
Yes, usually.
“Usually” because we’ve been to Calatagan a few times this year and there was always a checkpoint each time, except on our recent trip. We asked the Aquaria staff why we didn’t encounter any checkpoint this time around and we were told that it has considering that become occasional. That said, visitors are still required to bring a copy of their S-Pass TCP and all the other requirements bEcause et koskaan tiedä, milloin tarkistuspiste on siellä ja koska se on ihanteellinen asia.

Mitä Cocoon Sisustus näyttää?
Vaikka se on melko kompakti sisällä, kukin kotelo maksimoi rajoitetun tilan tekemällä kunkin nook hyödylliseksi. Esimerkiksi sängyn alla on suuri kapea, jossa voit sijoittaa laukut. Sängyn vieressä on kaapit, jotka voivat tallentaa pienempiä kohteita. Televisio voidaan kääntää television kohdalla nukkumaanmenossa ja sivulle saada se pois tieltä, kun sitä ei käytetä.
Hotellissa on myös pieni jääkaappi, jossa on ilmainen pullovesi.
