I love this place and I cannot wait to go back. Masseuses are very professionals, my girls love the other services (Facial, etc.). We often go together and have some relaxing time.

So Bangui windmills is good for people who wanted to escape from city. This place will make your mind refreshed and remove all the stressed your body has. Expectation vs Reality. My expectation i thought this place is good just for refreshment and sight seeing but the reality is this place makes you forget the problems you have and escape you from a city vibe. And the windmills are so huge that made me amaze!! Want to experience visiting here again.

Eversince the church became a minor basilica in 2015, it has received special privileges one of which is the opportunity for pilgrims to obtain plenary indulgence. Read about it when you get to the church. My advise is to arrive early so there are no lines yet to the mantle of Our Lady of Manaoag.

Can I just say that in my country, the Philippines, we have everything? Land, sea and everything in between including this KAPURPURAWAN rock formation!!! If you want to impress your friends, these rock formations are the best background in your photos! There is no entrance fee, too! Horseback riding is also an option that you can do in this place. You can also see the famous Bangui windmills in this area so there’s no need to go to the other windmill site. Please be aware that there is also a rock formation in Laoag Paoay area. The rocks there are not as white and not as impressive as the ones here in Kapurpurawan.

4x4 rides, ATV rides and Sandboarding...
Reviewed By glaizeee - Tayabas City, Philippines
This trip to La Paz Sand Dunes was actually not included in our itinerary but the hotel owner convinced us to try it. He even gave a discount so we headed out for it the next day. I was with my 2 sisters and 2 nieces and we were the first ones in the location. Before we proceeded with the 4x4 ride, we were asked to sign a waiver. We were all excited and nervous because none of us have actually tried this. All 5 of us stood at the back of the 4x4. The first few meters of the journey was smooth but when we got farther, the driver intentionally made abrupt stops which caused us to shout louder and held our grips tighter. Little did we know that this ride would give us the adrenaline rush. It was like a roller coaster ride without your seatbelt on. There were 4 stops along the way. The first one was the viewing deck of the town. The place was nothing but amazing as we watched the sun rose from that site. The second stop was the 360 degrees view of the sand dunes. Thirdly was the sea shore with huge waves and cool breeze. We were all exhausted from the bumpy ride yet our adventure wasn't over yet. Our last stop was the sandboarding area. The unlimited use of sandboard was included in the fee. I, as an adrenaline junkie, was the first to try it since every one else were afraid. My 43 year old sister was hesitant at first but later on she did it. I was just so proud of her because she conquered her fear of heights. We only did 2 rounds each because going up the hill was tiring. The journey took almost an hour to finish and when we got back to the camp, more groups were coming and the sun was already high up. It really pays to wake up early to avoid the crowd and the heat. Overall, it was great especially because i did this with my family. I wouldn't trade this moment for anything. Truly, this heart-pounding, nerve-wracking, jaw-dropping experience was one for the books.

The 30 minuet show consists of laser lights, music, led light show and fountains all computer controlled. Don’t miss it and there is no charge. One show at 7:30 pm. This show rivals anything I have seen. A must on your visit to Vigan City, Luzon, Philippines.

This museum is owned by a certain Korean, Mr. Kid. Prepare your cameras, cellphones or whatever gadgets you can use to take your pictures and selfies. You will be amazed looking around from stone carvings and paintings. You can also buy some souvenir items/ I bought a medium sized stone with cat paintings! Awesome and great experienced!!!

At a young age i was able to visit and see the beauty of calle crisologo. I was stuned to see the structures of the old Hispanic wealthy spanish families living their life before. it was good that they were able to retain the beauty of the place, and you'll be able to see the famous cobblestone streets that represent Vigan's image.
