Tibiao Fish Spa: A Tickling Feet Experience

Lots of giggles and laughs at first; soothed and refreshed feet at the end - these and more were our experiences when we visited and tried our first fish spa experience at Tibiao Fish Spa at SM City, Iloilo. It was just a day prior to our planned trip to Boracay when my good friend, Divi, finally discovered what we will do on our few hours stay at Iloilo City. There are of course a number of tourist spot but due to time constraint, a fish spa experience was the perfect activity for us. After all, this would be a great treat to our tired feet after the long walks we had at Boracay and the short visit we had at the Mangrove sanctuary at Aklan City. The Fishy Treat Yes, we woke up early and budgeted our time so well just to had this unique experience....

Island Hopping Turned Pandanon Island Getaway

Yes, the long planned and much awaited island hopping finally happened last June! There would be three island destinations, Pandanon, Olango and Gilutungan. We had planned it to be our department summer outing since last year but it was not materialized and we decided to finally pursue it this year. Technically it was still not a summer outing since we had it on June, but nevertheless the mighty rays of Mr. Sun during that day feels like summer, thank God! It was a bright Saturday morning and off we went to the wharf at Punta Engano besides the Hilton hotel. There are several motorized bancas available for hire at the wharf. Good thing there was still an available one for us to rent when we arrived. Boats for Hire at the wharf It was only...

Calea's Cakes

Yes, I'm a big fan of Calea! This local cake shop is well known for its premium and quality cakes . Too bad they don't have any branches outside Bacolod City.  Their cakes taste really good and are also affordable. You can grab a slice from Php70 to Php90 depending on kind.  Last time I visited we ordered the Triple Chocolate Mouse, Fruity Cheesecake and Ice Cream Chocolate Cake.  What's more interesting is that they are offering variety of kinds, all in great taste and quality.  Their Chocolate Cake and Fruity Cheesecake are my favorites!

Danao Coco Palms Resort

I was supposed to have a super hectic schedule for May’s weekends but to my dismay, almost none of it was materialized *sigh*.  I’m longing to have at least a relaxing escape, a beach or anything just before the summer ends. So, we decided to have at least a mini summer escapade. We’re thinking of Danao’s Coco Palms resort.  I had read good reviews about this resort and it’s just an hour drive from Cebu city so might as well visit it. ‘New’ Resort Coco Palms Resort just operated a year ago so it’s somehow new.  The landscaped grasses and white sands give the resort a fresh and appealing look. It offers a beautiful view of the sea, affordable accommodations, lots of recreational activities and friendly staffs. The resort’s...

Ogtong Cave Resort in Sta. Fe Bantayan

Bantayan Island is famous for its white-sand and crystal clear beaches. There are several resorts offering amazing view of the island’s long stretch shoreline and splendid view of the beach. However, we had chosen to stay at Ogtong Cave resort during our Bantayan escapade. Basically, our decision were based on the reviews and the fact that I’m not into beaches (prior to this trip ) as I’ve mentioned in my previous entries. Located at Sta. Fe Bantayan,  Ogtong Cave Resort is situated on a large natural rock. It’s one of the Class A rated resort in the island. Its main attraction includes cave, beautiful landscaped garden, clean facilities and fresh sea foods dishes. Their swimming pool also uses fresh water from the cave so it’s a big...
