A Filipina Blog on the Hot Trail of Awesome Travels and Delicious Food Trips =)
As with any place frequented by tourist and visitors, there are bound to be tourist traps and not so good practices. Bantayan is no exception. I’m just hoping that local government and stakeholders will change ways a bit to make the island even more ‘tourist friendly’ than it already is. Tourism is everybody’s businesses and [...]
Heads-up! Bantayan is not Boracay. This famous vacation destination in Cebu is laidback. There are no loud all-nighter parties, no lines of restaurants meters off the shoreline, no regular sighting of celebrities. You will even find it difficult to find beach resorts that offers a wide array of aqua-adventure facilities like jetskiing, parasailing, kit-surfing, bananaboat [...]
Everyone at our house can play the guitar except mom. It’s not such a surprise if you consider that we live in the island where guitar shops and factories are located. These Mactan guitars, commonly called “Cebu guitars” are famous all over the Philippines for its craftsmanship. Some handmade acoustic guitars and other string instruments like [...]
Your best bet for a Cebu pasalubong center when you are traveling up north of the island is the central bus terminal in the City of Bogo. This is where you can get local delicacy as your pasalubong. If you are thinking of what to bring back home, I suggest getting the kakanin called Pintos [...]
Summer normally starts by March but as early as February I together with my mom, sis and bf visited Virgin Beach Resort Cebu or simply VBR, an affordable Cebu resort in Daanbantayan. If you are still making your summer plans, check out my post about discovering VBR so you’ll be inspired to get to Daanbantayan! [...]
I mostly blog about things that captures my interest. And you would probably guess that one of my major interests is blogging about travel destinations and hidden gems and places in our country and sharing my experiences in the hopes of inspiring someone to discover more of the Philippines. So it was a nice surprise [...]
Bantayan Island north of Cebu is the province answer to Boracay’s long white sand beach. You have probably seen lots of pictures of its white sand beach and and crystal clear blue waters. This island destination used to be a ‘hidden paradise’ and a well kept secret of Cebu but more and more people have [...]
We came for the white sands and pristine beaches of Camotes Island, and we got them and more! Our first day was rocked with huge waves and an unexpected intense adventure on the high seas . On our second day in Mangodlong Rock Resort , Mr Sun made up for the previous days of no swimming because of rough waves! Hurray! We woke up early, ate our silog breakfast at P80 per plate with free coffee. And then it was play time on the sand and beach!
Camotes is simply an awesome beach travel destination and …
Camotes Island is home to white sand beaches and great resorts. Mangodlong Rock Resort together with its sister resort Santiago Bay Garden and Resort are two of Camotes most popular beach resorts. We decided to stay in Mangodlong because we have seen pictures of it and it looks awesome! Plus, it doesn’t hurt that its more affordable than Santiago. 
So after our adventure in the high seas of Camotes we arrived in Mangodlong! Unfortunately the huge waves have not normalized, in fact it looks like it’s becoming stronger. Swimming was out of the question for us so
Finally! I am writing about the second leg of our Summer Adventure this 2011 – Experience Camotes Island! It took me awhile to write a blog post about this tiny group of islands on the north of Cebu as i was finishing up my stories on Bohol. We went to Bohol on a saturday and [...]
