Caramoan: Tugawe Cove Resort

It was my first time to go to Caramoan this summer. We flew via Skyjet to Virac, Catanduanes. From the airport, we travelled to Codon port via van which took us about 30 minutes. We then had a 30-minute boat ride to Tugawe Cove Resort. I highly recommend tourists to go there during the summer so that the weather will be good especially for island hopping.

Caramoan is just WOW! Calm blue sea.... white sands... fresh air... blue skies... This is nature in all its glory!

 Cabanas by the lake -

 If you don't want to climb the stairs or you just want to stay near the beach,

 then you have to choose these rooms.

Hillside Cabana- 

It is still a long climb up the restaurant from the cabana.

This was actually seen in one of the episodes of Survivor Caramoan.

Amazing Batanes

I was lucky enough to visit Batanes April of 2012. I've heard of people raving about Batanes so I was pretty excited when I got the chance to see how amazing Batanes is. If you're into traveling, I suggest you try going to this place even just for once. I think what sets apart this place from the other tourist attractions of the Philippines is that it's not yet commercialized. You go there and you can expect a laid back lifestyle. The air is so fresh, cool and clean. Everywhere you look, it's all green. It's not heavily populated and motor vehicles are few.

I think it's much more fun if you're able to go around Batanes using this type of open-air vehicle rather than the air-conditioned vans for rent.
