It has been a tradition to Filipinos that during the season of Christmas, everyday should be celebrated. We value having fun and relaxation together with the family. No matter how many you are as long as no one gets left behind, then you can surely have fun and relax.

I'll give you some tips and tricks how to get there and how to survive the night.

But first let me give you their offers.

●Apartment A good for 4 persons(5000php/100usd) per night
●Apartment B with balcony, good for 4 persons(5500php/110usd) per night
(all apartment have a living room, an open kitchen, a coffee machine, a water heater, a refrigerator, and free use of swimming pool.
●Room good for 2 persons(2250php/45usd) per night
(entrance to the pool monday to thursday is 150php or 3usd, friday to saturday is 200php or 4usd)
Family room good for 6 persons(6000php/120usd) per night

I gave you first the prices, so that you would be able to prepare yourself on how cheap the prices are.

watch out for some tips, on how to make it even more cheaper ;)

How to get there:

From Cagayan de Oro City, you just need to travel by bus, and it would just take you 30 minutes just to get to the place. Costs 120php or 2.4usd.

From Iligan City, you just need to ride a bus, and it would take 45minutes to 1hour to get there. Costs 130php or 2.6usd.

If you are a family, or you're with a whole bunch of friends, then you can just rent a private vehicle which will cost 3000php or 60usd, or rent a Public Utility Jeepney which will cost 2000php or 40usd.

As for our case, we are from Iligan and we have a private vehicle, so we just have to fuel it for 700php or 14usd.

What to bring:

Please bring cash, that's the most important thing, it depends on how many persons you're with.

Extra clothes:
●bikinis one piece or two piece
●trunks
●rush guards
●beach shorts
●tank tops
●pajamas
●dry clothes for the travel

※Tips&Tricks #1:
Extra beds!! (RENT: the family room good for 6 pax, the room is so spacious that it can cater up to 20 people)

Food
●snacks
●beverages
●cooked viands
●cooked rice
※Tips&Tricks#2
Rice cooker & uncook rice(use it for dinner, pre cooked foods, will eventually get spoiled, so you have to be prepared with this, rice is essential to fullness)
Raw meat and charcoal(there is a grilling area so you have to use it, bringing your own charcoal is a must, grill to perefection)
Disposable gloves, plate, and spoon&fork.
Serving plates and serving spoons.
(Don't worry for coffee lovers they got it covered)

their restaurant is still under construction, so I can't really say if their food is cheap or expensive, but with the tip I gave, I can surely tell you that you can save a lot of cash.

Emergency medicines
●paracetamol
●antihistamine
●any meds needed if you're under medication

Necessities
Tootbrush & toothpaste (they already have a free soap and shampo, they also hand out towels)

Now you are good to go!

Come and Journey with Me!

so these are the views you will see if you travel from Iligan City. It was a fun ride, actually we were so dependent with google map. The place is already registered so its actually very easy to access.

time to enjoy the night, but ready your towel first, cause if you get out of the water, you can really feel the cold. (Sea breeze problem)

one last fanily picture for the year!

Over all we paid 12000php or 240usd for just 1 night but it's good for 26 people.

For the last time, I just want you to realize the value of family. Cause at the end of the day, it's always about you and them.

Nothing compares to the joy you can achieve if you are with your family.
