A not so well planned 6 hr ride to an island but got to enjoy the serenity of a not so crowded beach resort. It was Friday after a graveyard shift that we finally decided to go to this island. Searched contacts and screen shot directions from other people's blogs. Thanks to the modern technology, travelers and adventurers get to share all their experiences online. All details were available on the web.
We arrived Friday night and opted to camp instead of getting a room as we thought it will be cheaper, besides it was breezy that night. There was a typhoon at the East -North Eastern part of Philippines but Magalawa Island is in the west part of the Philippines. No trace of a bad weather at the time we arrive till we left the island. We rented a cottage to have a place to cook and eat.
There were 2 resorts at the island but chose to stay at Ruiz resort upon reading many blogs, Their rates were flexible just need to ask the caretaker. The resort was well maintained. Surprised there were no mosquitoes or insects that bites at the island (trust me, i am a always the first target in any place I've been to). The beach reminds me of Cagbalete. It was very calm and shallow. The sands were powdery white.
Here are some pictures to share from our overnight stay at Magalawa Island.
