Tip from tour guide
Venture to the Caramoan Islands in Eastern Bicol, Philippines, just a 15-minute bike ride from the resort. Featuring limestone landscapes, clear waters, and pristine beaches, these islands are reminiscent of Coron and El Nido. The cluster of islands includes Matukad, Lahus, Minalaghus, and the picturesque Busdak Beach. Do remember to visit Gota Village and Hunongan Cove as well, known as the shooting spot for 'Survivor: Caramoan — Fans vs. Favorites'.

2. 11th Earth Resort, Nabua (from USD 100)
Contributed by Tour Guide, Rikka Mae
Imagine waking up within this eco-conscious farm and resort with birds chirping and fresh air caressing your skin! I love how they practice sustainability, an eco-friendly environment, and the warm interaction between staff and guests.
You can book their day tour or opt for the overnight tour package and stay at the cozy cabanas. In the morning, you’ll be woken up by the chirping birds. You can go for a stroll on the beach and feel the fresh morning breeze rejuvenate your soul.
Other on-site amenities include four swimming pools, one of which is fed by a warm spring, Maiev’s Restaurant, Kona toolbar and cafe, a playground, and bonfire facilities. With so much to do and healthy rain fire food to keep you well-fed, a relaxing vacation is guaranteed.
They also newly opened a New Event hall with fully air-conditioned rooms, so if you have any celebrations coming up, keep this as one of the venue options.
