Pico Sands Hotel, Pico de Loro, Nasugbu, Batangas

★ 4.8

From ₱7,000 for 2 adults with buffet breakfast

Published Jun 20, 2025

Planning a short family getaway to Pico de Loro in Nasugbu, Batangas? If you're a family of four with two kids under 12, staying at Pico Sands Hotel may be more cost-effective—and far more convenient—than booking a condo unit via Airbnb.

Here's the ultimate comparison guide to help you decide.

Hotel vs. Condo Stay at Pico de Loro

Entrance Fees

Condo Guests: Required to pay a one-time entrance fee ranging from ₱1,000–₱1,400 per adult and ₱500–₱800 per child, depending on the season.
Hotel Guests: Entrance fees are already included in your room booking, making it more cost-efficient for overnight stays. Children below 12 years of age can stay for free using existing beddings. For longer stays, condo rentals might still be more economical.

Convenience

Condo guests: Must first go to the clubhouse to pay entrance fees, then receive wrist tags for access to amenities.
Hotel guests: Will receive their wrist tags upon check-in, saving time and hassle.

Insider tip:

During lean season, a condo unit for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids (below 6 years old) will cost around ₱6,000 + guest fees. A hotel room will cost ₱8,200 inclusive of guest fees and buffet breakfast.

Accommodation

Condo guests: Room setup and quality of service varies depending on your host.

Hotel guests: Standard room setup depending on your room category. Kids 12 years old and above are already considered adults.

Standard Room (25 sqm): Good for 2 adults. Price starts at ₱7,500 per night.
Superior Room (37 sqm): Ideal for 3 adults.

Penthouse Loft (2 floors, 65 sqm): Best for a group of 4, with lagoon views and stunning interiors.

Insider tip:

Already booked a deluxe or premium room online? Don't worry, you can still upgrade your accommodation to a penthouse loft for only ₱1080 upon arrival - subject to availability.

All rooms have balconies with a choice of either mountain view or lagoon view. A room with a lagoon view will have a higher price tag of ₱200 - ₱600 pesos compared to a mountain view.

Insider tip:

Not all rooms with lagoon view will have unobstructed view of the lagoon. Book the penthouse loft for the best views.

We stayed on a penthouse loft with lagoon view.

Insider tip:

One of the sofa beds can be converted to a bed for two pax. The remaining parts can be put together to form another bed for one pax. There was a door that we thought was a connecting room but contained another extra mattress.

Insider tip:

Beside the beach, there is a reef bar. Must try their pink guava smoothie (P250) and their banana empanada dipped in vanilla ice cream (P250). A bit pricey, but you will not be able to experience these treats anywhere else!
