Zen Pod by Jen

There is a water shortage in this property. It was so disgusting that I pay for more than 30,000 for this kind of services. No water when you are going to defecate or urinate.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Jen's Zen Pod compound. We stayed a total of 8 days at their residence and loved every moment of it. There is the main house which can accommodate 20+ people, 2 fully equipped kitchens, 2 indoor bathrooms, living room area with a TV, children's play area in a seperate building with its own bathroom, pool, lounge area with a nice view of the greenery, and a spot in the back to ride their ATVs or chill in the jacuzzi. It rained a few times, but I can assure you that it never flooded, nor did the house ever leak. They have very friendly staff that tend to the property and were very welcoming during our stay. If you're coming and going to/from the compound, please let the staff know when you are leaving so they may open/close the gate. If you are returning from outside, contact Jen so that she may let them know to let you back in. It's about a 20 minute drive to Lemery for your local needs (groceries, hospital, Jolibee), 40ish to Tagaytay for good eats, and about 1hr 45 to NIA in Manila. Overall, this is a nice home away from home here in Batangas. If you're looking for a nice quiet place to stay, I highly recommend Jen's Zen Pod.

Disliked nothing. Everything was great.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The bathrooms could do a deep clean, shower screen and grouting were really grotty. The water pressure wasn’t good. The property was advertised to have barbecue facilities which was accurate however there was no designated area for it. Due to the unfavourable weather conditions and non-stop rain, I reached out to the owner if we could move the bbq closer to the house as we were all adults and sensible enough to not let the house burn down but this wasn’t allowed and we were told to cook our dinner on the bbq out in the open parking area.
