Mangodlong Beach

Reviewed By trancazia - Penrith, United Kingdom

Wow this is such a beautiful beach resort only about 10 mins from the ferry terminal, just see Eddie at the resort entrance (more later), I just can't remember the resort entry fee but it wasn't much at all. Not sure if it was the time of year (Mid March) when I visited or what as the place was really peaceful and not overcrowded, which is always pleasant to find especially in this beautiful location. Lots to do swimming pool, beach volleyball or just lay there on one of the many sun loungers. Plenty of little cottages scattered about along with an awesome slide for everyone to enjoy. Looks to have a massive eating/bar area that looked clean and well maintained but with being here for only a short time we did not take full advantage. Suitable for EVERYONE. Eddie and his trike is located just at the entrance of the resort, can fully recommend him to show you more of this amazing Island, just tell him the Budot liking Foreigner sent you!!!

Tulang Diot Island

Reviewed By JTIIIJR

My wife, 3-year old son and I visited Tulang Diot Island as part of our island tour through Mangodlong Paradise Resort (see my highly recommended review of this resort). This was one of the best experiences of our whole trip to the Philippines. The snorkeling on the island's West side was absolutely wonderful! Lots of fish and even a few Clown Fish ("Nemo"). The beach on the Eastern tip of the Island was like a mini Boracay! White sand, gorgeous water, laid back atmosphere! The boat to Tulang cost 800 PhP and we tipped the captain and is mate 200 more for not rushing us. They were great! I recommending adding this to an island tour. Tulang is only 5-10 minutes off the coast.

Timubo Cave

Reviewed By roxkint - Cebu City, Philippines

Going to camotes was one of my dream and indeed, it met my expectation. This cave is one of the 'caves' that you find in the island. No regrets after all.

Santiago Bay Beach

Reviewed By katen818

It was worth the wait. The beach is in an utter beauty. You would be timeless in camotes.. all you do is swim and swim.. You will surely miss camotes compared to your busy life in the city... you can bring your own tent and place it infront of the beach. The people are so friendly no worries. Worth going back to!
