The city of Calamba, in the province of Laguna, is famous for many things. It was the hometown of Philippine National Hero Jose P. Rizal and many monuments and attractions here are dedicated to him. His birth home has been renovated into the Jose Rizal Museum, housing exhibits of his works and legacy. Another related landmark is the Rizal Monument, an impressive statue located in front of the city hall. Calamba is also famous for its hot springs, created by the geothermal activity of Mount Makiling. Most of these can be found in the Barangay Pansol, situated at the foot of the mountain, providing an inexpensive but amazing holiday option for both locals and foreigners.

1. Casa Maria (from USD 34)
Casa Maria is a quaint but well-appointed condo unit that has taken a Nordic-Scandinavian approach to decorating its interior spaces. Enjoy a minimalist take on accouterments and furniture, giving the place an airy and uncluttered feel and plenty of legroom to move around in. The condo is just right for a couple or solo traveler but can accommodate a small family. Internet is available via Wi-Fi and ethernet cable, and the 42-inch HDTV is hooked up to Netflix and a sound system.
Parking is available in the condo building but costs 300 PHP (5.38 USD) every 24 hours.
Traveler's tips
The best thing about this area is its accessibility. Rosal Street, where this unit is, is sandwiched by different bus terminals: HM Transport (Cubao and Alabang buses), Jac Liner/LLI (Cubao and LRT Buendia buses), and Saint Rose (BGC, Makati, and Manila P2P buses). It's also just behind SM Calamba so you'll have endless options for food and shopping. For a taste of local food, I highly recommend Nid's Balot - it's just across the highway!
You can also take a two-minute tricycle or jeepney ride to D'Fresco building (just before the stoplight intersection at Halang/Capitol Extension) and dine at Buddy's (my favorite is their signature Pancit Lucban). Or go to the second floor and have unlimited Korean barbecue at Yummysamgyup (the unli-chicken, pork, and beef package is currently Php 549)!

4. Enza Laguna Hills - Private Resort (from USD 405)
If you have a function or event in mind while visiting Calamba, you should check out this rental that’s available for booking. Accommodations are in the form of dormitory and bunk rooms with multiple people sharing the space. All rooms are air-conditioned so there’s no need to worry about the heat while indoors. Apart from the open-air kitchen, there’s also a barbecue station with a separate dining area.
Kids and grown-ups can enjoy their time in the swimming pool, especially during hot sunny days. There’s also a jetted hot tub for relaxing and soothing your tired body.
Traveler's tips
Pansol is a tricky area to navigate but the closest landmark to Enza Resort is Eduardo Barretto Elementary School. If you are not arriving in your own car, there are plenty of tricycles roaming the streets (the current minimum fare for a special ride is Php 60). I highly recommend buying your food from Andok's if you're a big group. They mostly sell grilled chicken, but they also have pork barbecue and fried chicken (Dokito's really good!). Lety's Buko Pie (the pride of Los Baños) also has a branch in Pansol, and lucky for you, it's just across the highway! Their buko pie is unmatched, but I also love their cassava cake!

Traveler's tips
I live close by and one of my favorite finds along Ipil-Ipil Street is Karak Anatolia. They sell authentic Turkish kebab, either in saj bread or with rice (my favorite is chicken kebab!). I highly recommend their cold karak, too; the owner gave me a free glass of it while waiting for my food. There are lots of good coffee places in the area, too. Two of my favorites are Morgan's (right by the national highway) and OJ's Brew (along Ipil-Ipil Street). The area is close to a university/college, so there are lots of budget-friendly food options too. For anything fast-food, Jollibee and Domino's are close too.

The Villa at Pansol is a luxurious private resort that promises a memorable vacation with plenty of security and privacy. Unwind and chill in the living spaces found in the property such as the poolside couches, lounge with a huge TV and karaoke, or the game room with a billiards table. The resort has three swimming pools with water sourced from local hot springs. For some friendly competition, or just exercise, there’s also a half-court basketball area.
Although the facilities are made available to the guests, items such as dishware, utensils, and even bathroom toiletries are not provided due to sanitary reasons so you’ll have to bring your own. The hot tub is also not immediately available and will require a fee of 500 PHP (8.97 USD) for 30 minutes of use.
