The winding drive down the road through untouched forests dissolves the rest of the world as you enter into a new window of perception. CASITA YSABEL greets you with a sense of calmness that seems to embrace you. The warmth and charm of a paradise home where the sea is peaceful, marine life is amazingly diverse, and nature is resplendent in all its beauty.

Casita Ysabel, named after Linda’s youngest daughter, started as a weekend home in 2003. Linda Reyes-Romualdez, being a diver herself, opened her place as a resort in 2004 to close family and friends who seem to have always enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. It now has become a favorite among divers and non-divers in Anilao, Batangas, as a home away from home.

She has personally attended to the construction of the Casitas – from the groundwork to the final interior touches. It is her tapestry, her life as it evolves. Her passion for beauty, simplicity and love for nature is Casita Ysabel.

Linda’s high standards for quality and comfort, and her innate nature to care, inspired the establishment of “Tre Earth Spa” as part of the Casita experience. She trained in British Columbia, Canada for Spa Directorship to fuse western techniques with the eastern way. She believes that everyone needs nurturance and care through the human touch, to be relieved, consoled, revived and healed in mind and body.
