Hi MM, include Bantayan Island in your destination list. It has more to offer compare to Malapascua. You will enjoy the Island very much. One of the Lonely Planet guy (writer) said that the main town of Bantayan is the ugliest town, which is exactly the opposite because the town has an 1800 old church. Give it a try.

Cool pix MM! Just to share other activities there. Rent a bike and trek your way to the lighthouse tower. Donâ€™t miss the sunset while youâ€™re there, really nice photo ops especially for those lensmen . Take a boat ride and go snorkeling over Japanese shipwrecks, plenty of marine species. Island hopping to Ka-langgaman island, or island of birds. Fishermen frequent the place so just bring your cooked rice, charcoal and grill, and buy your fresh fish there, chow-time camping style!!! Another nice island you may want to visit next time is Bantayan, minutes away from Malapascua. They also have nice cottages to spend the night.

Yes i remember the masahe while lying on a towel on the beach at sundown. It was like a massage-body scrub rolled into one because sand was on the towel and my skin.

But the combination of a massage with the view of the sunset, candlelit trees, the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and a warm breeze wafting softly over my bare skin was ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!!

We stayed at Hippocampus Resort (i think that means Seahorse in Latin). Room was not bad for 1,100 and food was good and servings huge.

Hi, MM! How is your holiday trip so far? Just like Quiapo, we indeed appreciate your effort to keep the page active. =) now, I also have the time to go through your earlier posts as I still have a lot of reading to do! since I resigned from my job last august, ngayon lang ako nakapag browse ng matagal-tagal ulit.
