Aquatico, Batangas

Nice place right?  Read my story and think again.
This trip was for our post wedding anniversary.  It got ruined because of a huge lizard.... "TUKO" in tagalog.  What happened was, we were about to go to sleep and I was about to turn off the television (which was on the wall) when I saw this thing... I just thought it was a large house lizard but then when I move closer that's when I realized that it was really not just an ordinary large house lizard!  It was indeed a TUKO!  We called the housekeeping to inform them about the lizard.  It took them forever to come to our room.  By the way the resort is just small to take them forever to attend to us.  I called the second time and that's the time they come (and they thought that I was just exaggerating when I told them that there is a large lizard in our room.) Grrrrrrr!  Two house keeping guy came and a security guard, they tried to make the lizard go out the room using an umbrella but to no avail, it ran up and hid in the drop ceiling.  The manager came (a guy) he told the housekeeping guy to get a Baygon spray (?????) so that the lizard would go out from it's hiding place.  Nice thinking right!? Kawawa naman yung lizard.  What they did was cruelty to the animal.  While the guys were busy spraying the poor lizard, the manager made comments like when he was a kid he and his friends usually played with the lizard, that the lizard won't do me harm, that it will not bite, blah blah blah.  They gave up coz the lizard won't come out from it's hiding place, he told us to go back to our room and that it is alright to sleep in there.  Hell NO, I will not sleep in there knowing that the large lizard is still in there.  Funny and rude thing that the manager told me is that "ah babae ka kasi kaya takot ka sa tuko"......the nerve!  I just told him " eh ikaw kaya ang matulog dyan sa loob? Kaya mo?" (hindi sya nakasagot).  Kris and I decided to check-out and look for a place to stay for the night.  I don't care if it is 12.30 in the morning, I cannot and will not sleep in that room!  It's a shame coz the place was beautiful and relaxing, they have the beach and a nice infinity pool, it got ugly because of their service and their rude manager.  I just hope the owner of Aquatico in Batangas would take action about the incident.  It's just a small thing to fuzz about but then again what I hate about the incident is that there is discrimination on the part when the manager said "babae ka kasi".  Kris and I took the risk of checking out of that resort and look for a place to stay for the night.  God is good because we found a place to stay and they are not fully booked.  I hope whoever reads this blog and plans to got to Batangas, think twice if you want to stay in Aquatico.
