Morning at Kookoos Nest Beach Resort.
My Ever Reliable Water Heater
In a place like Kookoos Nest, where it is very tranquil, I need some sounds to keep me oriented. That’s where my handy battery-operated AM/FM radio comes very handy. [No pix]
The Common Toilet Door at Kookoos Nest! There’s no one around really. So who cares, if someone see my naked body! 🙂
Breakfast in my room at Kookoos Nest
Morning Snorkeling at Kookoos Nest Beach – It was here I saw a seasnake for the first time. I was snorkeling on a very shallow and stony water, when I suddenly spotted a seasnake. I thought it was just a small long fish. Upon realizing it was a seasnake, I stood up and tried to run. But it was hard to run in the waters, so I dove back down to the waters. And that’s when I hit the stones – ouch! I forgot that I am in the shallow waters, hehe. Good thing there was only one local boatman around. I think he did not saw my crazy act, haha! I tried to track the striped seasnake the second time, and I was able to see it. I was not able to get a good picture because I was scared to go near it. 🙂
Going to Antulang Beach Resort
Sightseeing at Antulang Beach Resort – P200, consumable
The Entrance Gate
The Standard Cabana (good for 2) P900
The Deluxe Cabana (good for 3) P1,250
The Presidential Suite P4,350
The Executive Suite P5,140
The Beach Side
The Infinity Pool Area
The Pool Villa P12,500
Dive Sites of Antulang Peninsula
The Reception Office
The Videoke Bar
The Dining Hall
The P200 Lomi – My lunch!
The Realization: Antulang Beach Resort has a fabulous sea cliff view, but I think I can get to see this without paying a high price. Antulang Beach Resort is a typical luxury resort uniquely placed in a sea cliff of Antulang Peninsula. There are other better luxury resorts in Greater Manila Area. That’s my catch!
Tambobo Bay and Antulang Peninsula Road Trip
The Way to Tambobo Town – I wanted to visit this town. Before the trip, I was imagining a paved road – but I was wrong. I didn’t pursue of going there when I saw the rough road. Maybe some other time. I think the Tambobo town is a better alternative beach place around the area. The access to a town means cheap food and lodging. The Kookoos Nest beach can be swam easily I think – that near!. But if you take a simple small boat, the cheapest fare would be P20 only!
Going back to Dumaguete City I stopped over Dauin Beach
