Formerly White Cove, Canyon Cove has been acquired by UCPB and Tagaytay Grasslands Co. Inc. This is located in Wawa, Nasugbu, Batangas. This place is a good choice for day tour beach and other aqua sports. Entrance fee to avail of beach facilities is at Php 200. There are seasonal offers that include plated lunch or buffet lunch ranging from Php 550-Php 800.
Day tour is my personal preference for this place because in my experience for an overnight stay, some of their facilities need some more improvements on facilities and more drastic training in events management.
For facilities, there are cabinets in the rooms that need minor repairs, squeaky doors, leaks from ceiling in the CR, non-working aircon in room or conference hall, faucet malfunction, etc… and it was difficult to transfer if there are corporate bookings.
Day tour accommodation is quite promising given that the common shower room is better maintained (or probably has been recently renovated). I enjoyed the kayak. Rate is at Php 350/hour including two life vests. Beach is clean and the water was refreshing and blue. Pool area is very enticing with all the cabanas around and trees close to the area provide some shade and greenery, making the place relaxing and cozy.
Room rate ranges at around Php 5,000++ or more. It’s just good to know that in my stay there last April 2010, renovations were underway for the north wing already (I stayed in the south wing). Food is good and the location of the restaurant at the lower ground give a good view of the beach and accessibility to the pool.
In events management, most specially if the reservations were coursed through the Makati office, they should strongly coordinate the requirements agreed with the sales representative with the events management on-site. As an example, when we arrived there for a planning session, it is at least expected for the conference hall to be prepared, what was the submission of the program for if these things will not ready. Upon arrival at the beach club, that was the only time they arranged the conference hall; turned on the aircon (and learned wasn’t working and had to fix– which affected our schedule); set-up of free flowing cofee, etc and was done almost end of the day already. Our PM snack was served close to 5pm (supposed to be between 3PM-4PM) and the dinner roll served with pancit, in our impression, tastes old.

Overall, this is in my list of options for day tour but will think twice for overnight stay.
