Punta Carles Beach Resort

Going to Gigantes Island was our main plan but before going to the island we decided to stay first in Carles instead of staying in Iloilo City, to be sure that we won't be late on the following day for our Gigantes trip, so I searched on the net for a nice place to stay in Carles, I contacted many resorts and they were all fully booked.. and good thing I saw this blog about Punta Carles Beach Resort, and I was lucky enough that they still had available room good for 8pax. It was a great relief on my part because at last I found a place for us.

Punta Carles Beach Resort is located in Brgy. Punta, Carles, Iloilo. It would take you at least 30 minutes tricycle ride from Balasan Terminal, fare is usually 300php (good for 4) because it's quite far. The resort offers a dormitory type accommodation with aircon and common CR, a large pavilion for social functions and nipa huts for picnic goers. The resort is not fully developed but it offers a very relaxing ambiance because of it's untouched beauty, you'll see how clean, well maintained the place is, and I so love their landscape which I can see many flowers and trees which I would really love to see when having a vacation, the beach is also nice and has a long shore. I can really say that it was a perfect choice staying here.






I highly recommend this resort not just because it's beautiful but also because the owner is very friendly and accommodating even if she was not around, she would contact us if we're okay and will really reply if we need something, and the staffs are very maasikaso and accommodating as well. You can even cook your meals here with there help or let them do it for you, you just need to pay for the gas and facilities used at a very low price.

Villa on a cliff, Oslob Cebu

Image
One afternoon, as I was browsing the net, looking for a perfect place to hide for the upcoming holidays, I saw this very impressive place somewhere located in Southern place of Cebu - Oslob. And that place is called VILLA ON A CLIFF. The place is very perfect for family vacation because it is private, for it is not just a resort or a hotel but a summer home, almost all of their accommodations are served in a family style. And not just that it is also the place where we can visit the famous whale sharks or what we called the butandings. I just can't wait to visit the place someday. Here are the information about Villa on a cliff: VILLA ON A CLIFF is located in a ONE-OF-A-KIND enclave in the coastal town of Oslob, Cebu. It is absolutely private and peaceful. It is not a hotel/resort. It is our summer home and thus, there isn't a restaurant on the property. All meals are home cooked and served family style. We have set menu's to choose from, which is only PHP650/person per m
