If you are looking for an exclusive venue to host team building activities, company outings, family gatherings or barkada getaways, let me help you by sharing to you this neat and exclusive beach resort located at the coast of Southern Cebu. I am talking about  Kota Kanwa. Before going to Kota Kanwa, we took our lunch by the beach at Lambug Beach Resort in Badian. We had a stopover earlier at Carcar Public Market to buy Carcar's best lechon for lunch. From Lambug, we headed to Kota Kanwa. The resort's check in time is at 2:00pm. The nearest landmark to get to the resort is Gaisano Dumanjug . See google map below for directions to get into this resort. The resort has two types of accommodation; the main house and the dormitory type . Overnight rate is Php15,000 . The main house can accommodate up to 10 people while the dormitory type can accommodate up to 15. The rate is inclusive of free use of resort’s amenities: The Swimming Pool (c) Keila Verano

APO Island Adventure

Apo Island is a volcanic island on the coast of Southern Negros and a preserved marine sanctuary founded by the people living in the island with the help of a professor from Silliman University, a private research university in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. A successful marine community based sanctuary and famous for its numerous sea turtles and rich underwater life. For those who want to go this turtle island, continue reading my blog post. Whether you're a diver or a snorkeler, here are some underwater adventure facts. (c) Keila Verano Apo island is not a nesting ground but a feeding ground for female turtles.  You can distinguish a male turtle from a female turtle by its tails. Male turtles have long tails like a wizard while female turtles have very small tails. A home to over 650 documented fish species and estimated to have over 400 species of corals. From Dumaguete City, we took an easy ride going to Bayawan and drop at Malatapay market in Zamboanguita

Bacolod Travel Diary

New Government Center An elementary buddy invited me to join her in Bacolod last year. We met on a Friday evening in McDonalds Colon and took our dinner before we went to Cebu North Bus Terminal . RORO buses going to Bacolod City can be found in both Cebu South and North bus terminals but trips are more frequent in the latter. The bus departed at 2 AM and arrived in Toledo City at 4 AM.  We boarded in our decks for the boat trip going to San Carlos City. We arrived in San Carlos at 6 AM and rode the bus again going to Bacolod via El Salvador. We arrived in Bacolod City past 9 AM already and checked in at East Square Inn . We booked through booking.com because the booking website does not require a credit card for us to reserve. The hotel has good reviews too. We had a good stay except for the TV that was not functioning. The inn is walking distance to the city's entertainment and restaurant hubs.  We arrived in Bacolod City late so we were not able to go and see Balay Ne

Experience Bohol

Bohol is one of the provinces in the Central Visayas region and is the island facing the east coast of Cebu. The island is surrounded by numerous islets. It is the third largest island in the country and is truly nature's bounty. If I have to rate Bohol from my own perspective, I would rate this island near to a perfect score because there's so much more on this island that one can experience. Chocolate Hills in Carmen The Chocolate Hills Probably Bohol's top tourist destination, a geological formation scattered in the middle of the island. This unique natural wonder captured the interest of geologists, tourists, and travelers alike. The Loboc River Image from TripAdvisor A river that has become a major tourist destination because of the Loboc River Cruise , a cruise along one of the greenest and cleanest rivers in the country. The cruise fee already includes a buffet meal for lunch and an enjoyable cultural show. The Hanging Bridge Loboc River
