Mangudlong Paradise Resort

Mangudlong Paradise Resort

We went to Mangudlong Paradise Resort. It is a 3 star resort in Camotes Island. It is next to Mangodlong Rock Beach Resort, Bano Beach Resort and Coco Grove Resort. It is very beautiful and clean. Their staff is very accommodating.

They have an infinity pool which is the highlight of the resort, I say. It is very blue, wide and overlooking the sea view. You will really enjoy swimming there. You can also enjoy laying and relaxing along the pool side with feeling the sea breeze and looking at the view.

 

The place is quiet and a great place for those who want to get away from the noise of the city and want to relax. It is also ideal for honeymooners.

Their beach shoreline is not wide as Santiago’s but it has fine white sand. Along the beach, they have this cozy bench which you can also relax.

Many foreigners stay in this resort. I will surely get back on this place the next time I visit Camotes Island.

Camotes Island Escapade

Camotes Island Escapade

We recently went to Camotes Island. It is located in North-East of Cebu. From Cebu City, you have to travel to Danao Port located in Danao. You can take a bus, jeepney, or own vehicle going there. By bus, you have to go to the North Bus Terminal located in North Reclamation Area to ride one. By jeepney, you go to SM City Cebu. Outside the mall, there are many jeepneys going to Danao and stop at Danao Port. We decided bring our own vehicle for convenience. It is easy to travel around the island with it.

We tried catching up the 2PM schedule to Camotes Island but unfortunately we were not able to catch up so we just waited for the 5:30PM schedule. Below is the schedule of the vessels.

Departure Time	Point of Origin	Destination	Vessel
5:30 AM	Danao Port	Poro, Camotes	Ave Maria Pumpboat
5:30 AM	Danao Port	Consuelo, Camotes	Jomalia Shipping
6:30 AM	Danao Port	Consuelo, Camotes	Super Shuttle Ferry

5:30 PM	Cebu Pier 1	Poro, Camotes	Golden Shipping Fastcraft
5:30 PM	Danao Port	Consuelo, Camotes	Jomalia Shipping

While waiting for the next schedule, we decided to eat at Danao Fish Port. It is just next from the port. Their foods are very delicious and affordable. Our eyes were drooling looking at the food there.

The port’s ticket booth opens at 4PM for the 5:30PM schedule so we went back at the port at 4PM and luckily, we were the first in line. We bought tickets for ourselves and also for the vehicle we were bringing. Tickets cost 180 Pesos, for our vehicle is around 1,200 Pesos. Finally, our time to go to Camotes Island has come! We were very excited going there. We had a good seat at vessel.   

It took 2 hours and 30 minutes before we arrived at the Island. If you are not bringing a vehicle there, you may take a ride with the “Habal-Hala” for 50 Pesos only to bring you to the resort you want to go.

We stayed at Bellavistamare which is situated in Santiago Beach, Camotes. Their rooms are very affordable. We rented their huge room which is good for 8 for 3700 Pesos yet there were 9 of us so we just added an extra charge of 200 Pesos. There were 2 bath and toilet rooms, 1 Double Deck bed, 2 Queen Size beds,  1 Queen Sized Foam, and 1 Single Sized Foam.

The resort has a very wide shoreline. Actually, they have the same shoreline with Santiago Beach Resort.

The foreigner behind me is the own or Bellavistamare Resort. He is friendly and he gave us extra hours for the room.

Beside the beach, there is a sotukil. Their foods are very affordable and sumptuous! I love their foods. Many people dine there. There is also a live band their and party during the evening.

We enjoyed spending time along the beach during that night. Done swimming, drinking, games, and other stuff which are fun.

We woke up early to enjoy the place. We took breakfast at the resort. It was great having breakfast while enjoying the sea view. 

Their pristine white sands and crystal clear waters are very wonderful to look at. We enjoyed taking shots and swimming there. This place reminded me of Boracay Island.

 We decided to go back to sutukil for lunch. We just can't have enough of their yummy foods.

 I will post the other places we went in the island on my next posting.
