How to Get There: Ride a jeepney to Valencia (php12/person) from Dumaguete public market with a dropoff point in Valencia public plaza. From there, ride a trike going to the address. It's about 15-20 minutes and is located right along the road so you can't miss it. Fare is php40.00 - one way. Related Fees: Entrance : php60.00 per person - includes access to the pool area Cottage: php200.00 There are two types of pool area in the venue. The first one is where the pool is filled with water from the river and the other one is filled with chemical treated water. If you choose the latter, you will have access to two swimming pools, the first one just after you enter the premise and the other one just after it, separated by a pathway going down. The second pool area has slides if you're into that. Food is available in the venue's very own restaurant and they are cheap. You can choose to eat it inside the resto or bring it with you to your cottage. Price ranges between php120-250. Try their pizza, either the cheesy or the meaty variety. It's super affordable at just php200 (cheesy) and php250 (meaty). Soda, water, shakes, juices, etc can also be bought frommthe resto and they're also very affordable. For thrill seeking adventurers, you can opt to try out their ATV or Zipline. ATV rental is at php200-250 while zipline is at 150. It's just one way though so think about that. Don't forget to go down the hanging bridge just after the second pool area. You will have a majestic view of the water flowing from the mountain cascading from one huge boulder to the other. I was a bit hesitant to go to Tejero at first but I'm glad I did. It was all worth it. Try to reserve one day when you're in Dumaguete and visit this paradise. You'll be glad you did.

The view was absolutely DIVINE! (see what I did there? ;) We were greeted by a modest picture of an open concept structure. However as you draw near, you know that the simplicity was a perfect complement to the peaceful nature it rests upon. The nice breeze and sound of the sea welcomes your approach. What greets you in the lobby is the breathtaking view of the infinity pool leading towards the sea. My son loved it so much he quickly asked if he can jump in, and that he did. He stayed there the entire day I might add. Conveniently the rooms (all 9 of them) were just a few steps from the pool so it was not so hard to keep an eye out for him. The rooms are no suite but are adequately sized for a family of 3. They were clean with everything we needed. Surprisingly the beds and the linen sheets were hotel grade and yes I can tell they are because when you're pregnant you tend to be very picky and observant for such comforts. They even have a common kitchen but hardly used it. There is a restaurant nearby though so food wasn't an issue. Service was superb, staff - friendly, made us feel right at home. Apparently this location is close to adventures and tourist attractions. Kawasan Falls, Canyoneering and Sardine Run were just a few minutes away as we were told. Our intent was to go Whale Shark Watching in a neighbouring town, Oslob. Their staff was very accommodating to help us with arrangements. Oh and their English is superb so no worries in communication. The cherry on top to this beautiful place was the stunning sunsets as the days end. I wish I have words to describe the feeling when you see it but you will just have to be there to see and experience it for yourself. Memories were indeed made.

Our recent day trip to dakak for 8 people had some issues. We were charge 1200 PHP per person but the beach staff decline to provide us beach towels saying this basic beach amenity is for check in guest only. There were no lounge chair available at the beach. I asked the staff to reconsider, the staff response seem unreasonable. He seem like too underpaid to give a f@ck. The jet ski seems overpriced 3000 php for 3000 PHP. The food is not as good and has limited option unlike last year. Overall, we had great time swimming , kayaking and jet skiing though. I just thought that a beach towel is a basic amenity and should be provided .

What was once the jewel of Dapitan City (it hosted the Miss Universe pageant in the early '90s),…read moreDakak is now a shadow of it's former self. Still wildly popular among tourists around the world (their advertising budget must be through the roof), the main draw here is their beautiful white sand beach right off of the Sulu Sea. It's absolutely gorgeous! Other than that, this place is what Cher Horowitz would call a 'full-on Monet.' Everything is beautiful from far away but it's really a total mess when you get closer. Our bungalow smelled damp when we walked in and there were ants in the bathroom. The shower drain was clogged and the other amenities just seemed old and tired. We were luckily only here for one day but we were very unimpressed with their lunch and breakfast. Their open air restaurant was almost overrun by birds (can you get a scarecrow or something?!?) and the food and service just was not what to par to what I would equate with a nice resort. We were mostly there to bond with family which made the experience great but if I came here for vacation, I'd be disappointed. It's big, impersonal..but boy their beach is beautiful.

One reason why we visited Negros is to check out the infamous Apo Island…read more Had some tips from friends on how to get there but we don't have a really concrete plan. So after finding out about the package plan from Acqua Dive we decided to go with it. It's 1,450 pesos/person for a day of snorkeling which already includes boat, lunch, fee to the island, snorkeling gears, beverages and banana. We are going to be visiting 3 areas of the island. If we go on our own, we have to pay the boat that takes us to the island which is 300 pesos each for non -residents in the island. We also have to pay another 300 pesos to use the island. Then of course theres the food, drinks and everything else. We have two mask and only one fins so we can't go together and no life jacket for me. So after computing the cost, it was more convenient for us to take the package. They also offer pick up and transportation for us from our resort to Acqua Dive, towels and free use of their pool. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. There were only 5 of us, so we have the whole big boat to ourselves. Lots of fun of course. P.S. the local staff does not earn much so if you are happy with their service, a nice good tip will go a long way.

It's small so it feels intimate and even though it was full while we were there, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The food at the restaurant was fine, though I wish they had some Filipino dishes on the menu. Definitely take advantage of the snorkeling package to Apo Island if you stay here, or even if you stay somewhere else! It was very reasonably priced at ~P1400/person and included equipment, lunch, snacks, etc. But note that you won't be spending time on the beach; you'll be on the boat or in the water the entire time. The coral was beautiful plus snorkeling with the turtles was priceless! Rent an underwater camera if you can!

How to Get There: We took a Ceres bus with Bayawan signage and asked the conductor to drop us off the corner to El Dorado. Fare was ₱19.00 and trip took about 20 minutes. Don't worry about missing the dropoff as it is pretty common and the conductor will tell you when you're there. Getting Inside Entrance fee is ₱200/person but is consumble. This gives you access to the beach as well as the restaurant. Keep your ticket as the restaurant staff will ask for it before taking your order. What to Do Inside Take pictures, lots of it. Head straight to their mini Boracay and start snapping like crazy. You'll see Apo Island from a far so pose and be ready to capture the moment. You can swim either on the pool or at the beach. It wasn't a great time to swim when we visited because of the strong ocea waves. The pool is smallish but is hot enough so you can dive into it without regretting your decision the moment you're in the water. Eat Eat Eat El Dorado Beach Resort has a full-kitchen so you'll have no problem with food. We ordered the pork chop and the one with cheese, gravy, and mushroom (forgot the name) and they were two of the best tasting dish we've tried (no kidding!). We also were offered complimentary salad and that too was awesome! When visiting, it's best to check in so you get to enjoy añl the amenities. You can walkin like we did but then you won't have access to their amazing looking accomodations. Two thumbs up! Must visit!

But because of mobility limitations of my parents, we were accommodated. We did have our lunch there which included a variety of fish selections.

The resort looks appealing and would consider staying here if the price is right.
