Is This the Most EXCLUSIVE Private Island in Batangas? 🏝️ Eagle Point Resort & Sepoc Island Guide

Is Eagle Point Resort still the king of Anilao? After a 15-year hiatus, I’m heading back to Mabini, Batangas, to see if it's still as iconic as I remember from 2009. From the exclusive white sands of Sepoc Island (where we feasted on some incredible grilled liempo and pusit!) to meeting a "retired legend" in the saltwater pool, this overnight trip was a nostalgic dive into one of Batangas' most beautiful stays. In this vlog, we maximize a short 2-day stay! We kick things off with a boat ride to Sepoc Island for some trekking and a massive group-sharing lunch. I’ll share the exact costs for the boat and entrance fees, show you the house reef, and give you a "secret tip" on the best time to snorkel. Plus, keep an eye out for a local celebrity—the Giant Lapu-lapu! [Budget & Travel Details] Hotel: ₱2000 (Twin sharing) Sepoc Island Boat: ₱4,000 (up to 8 pax) Sepoc Entrance Fee: ₱300 per head Mabini Environmental Fee: ₱50 per head Resort Meals: ₱400 - ₱700 per head (The sharing plates are the best value!) Videoke Rental: Approx. ₱4,200 💡 PRO-TIP: The best time for snorkeling at the house reef in front of the resort is early morning when the tide is high. The water is crystal clear and teeming with marine life! Also—don't forget your aqua shoes, as the shore is covered in sharp pebbles and stones.
