Hey
guys, it’s almost weekend again! Where are you off to this time? Summer
is almost at an end so may I suggest that we all try to enjoy the
remaining weekends ahead? Yes? Great! One of the resorts I’d like to
suggest is Coco Beach
in Sabang, Puerto Galera.
For shuttle and boat services contact their
office because they use a different route as compared to what the
regular boats use in going to White Beach. Usually, meeting place is in
Manila Hotel very early in the morning. Their very own coaster or van
will come pick you up and bring you to a more private pier near Batangas
port in just 2 hours or so depending on traffic .
Then their very own
boat will cross the choppy waters of Mindoro and in another 30-45
minutes you’ll find yourselves docking at their wonderful beach,
forgetting about all the worries the city life usually brings. In terms
of the resort’s ambience, the cottages and the stuff you can do, this
place is fantastic! They even have their own soap and coconut oil
factory which they sell at very affordable prices and they produce their
own water.
They also have a game room for pool, darts and videoke and
TV room with cable, which you can enjoy with your family and friends.
However, there was a moment when their staff didn’t deliver their
services so well that I had to throw a fit just to get their attention.
But that was before (year 2004 to be exact).
Other than that, even when
we had to climb 200 steps just to reach our cottage, even when we had no
choice but to experience brownouts at certain times to conserve water
and electricity and and even if we spent around Php 8,000 ++ for our
cottage for a 3 days/2 nights stay which already included welcome
drinks, lunch upon arrival, breakfasts, toiletries, picnic lunches,
island hopping and banana boat rides, I guess they were all worth it…
