The Farm at San Benito!

December 2017

I have always been in love and fascinated to stay in luxury hotels & resorts. But, for the first time in a long time, I have realized the importance of  "healthy living and lifestyle" until I have experienced the Medical Wellness Journey at  The Farm at San Benito in Lipa Batangas, Philippines. It was in December 2017 when I first visited this tranquil place, since then, I always tend to come back  (Updated 2020)

The Farm at San Benito

As you may not know, The FARM at San Benito offers an amazing Local/Residents rate exclusively for Filipinos who live or a resident in the Philippines. On their Website, http://www.thefarmatsanbenito.com/ all you see is USD$ rate but it is always easy to inquire with them if you can avail the local resident's rate as being a Filipino! So, you will at least get more affordable rates compared to when you booked at their website!
