With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that San Pablo, 50 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Villa Escudero, Lakes Pandin and Sampaloc Lake. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Lipa, 60 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be SM City Lipa. (But we’d also highly recommend Mount Malarayat Golf and Country Club and Summit Point Golf and Country Club.)
