Hi thanks so much for this very informative blog post :) I just wanted to ask, do the jeeps to Laiya stop at the resorts directly? Or do I have to take a trike from the jeepney routes?

Getting to Laiya is easy, but leaving is the difficult part if you will commute. No car rental services available from Laiya going out.

Was it given to the local government of San Juan, Batangas, that the trike drivers are trying to milk visitors with overpriced fares?
