Beware of self-styled hotel/resort agents!

If you're driving towards Nasugbu and you don't have any hotel or resort reservations yet, do not entertain the offers from roadside guys who pose as 'guides' or 'hotel agents'. They are only out to get a fat commission from the hotel owners for bringing you to them, and consequently, you will bear the cost of their commission, sometimes up to 50% of the rate. Deal with the hotel owners directly. These 'agents' tend to be aggresive and badmouth other reputable resorts that don't do business with them.

Unique Suggestions: If a guy on the roadside carrying leaflets/photos tries to flag you down on the way to Nasugbu, don't look them in the eye and continue driving. If you slow down, they will hang on to your vehicle's side mirror all the way to town! What I do is try to run them down then swerve at the last moment. It's a game of bluff but takes practice, ha ha ha.

Fun Alternatives: Call the tourism office during a work day (63-43-4120222) prior to your visit so you can get good recommendations and contact numbers of resorts. This service is free.
