 |
| About halfway between Batangas and Mindoro is this deserted crag with a lone lighthouse on top. |
 |
| The first inviting treat at Coco Beach Island Resort: a nipa hut with a spacious bedroom complete with a mosquito net gracefully hanging from the ceiling. |
 |
| Or one can sleep on the hammock and be lulled by the incessant twitter of birds. |
 |
| The sea laps at the white sand beach at Coco Beach. |
 |
| Commune with nature... or catch up on the zzzzs while being caressed by the soft sea breeze. |
 |
| Coco Beach has a large swimming pool surrounded by restaurants and bars. |
 |
| Mom watches carefully as her kids enjoy a dip in the cool waters of the pool. |
 |
| Away from the raucous clamor at the large pool, the Silence Pool atop a hill offers peace and quiet. |
 |
| Over at the boutique, shoppers can grab an assortment of buys--including these beautiful necklaces made of corals and semi-precious stones. |
 |
| There is even a small corner gallery which puts on display a collection of fine artworks. |
 |
| The shirt kiosk has an eye-catching ceiling that mimics the surface of the sea complete with a school of tropical fishes. |
 |
| One last glimpse of Coco Beach Island Resort's crystal clear waters, luxuriant vegetation and white-sand beach before the ferry pushes for Manila. The holiday is over... for now. |
Caught between blue sea and lush mountains, Coco Beach Island Resort in Puerto Galera offers the best of both worlds.
On the one hand, it is mountain hideaway tucked between lush gardens, coconut groves and tropical rainforest. The cool breezes wafting from the mountains fan the nipa huts that serve as cozy accommodations. The floor of narrow bamboo slats, the nipa roof, sawali walls, capiz windows and furniture made of thick bamboo trunks offer a luxurious native sanctuary. One can lie down on the bed, or nestle on the woven hammock and enjoy a quiet shuteye lulled by the twitter of birds or the rustling of the leaves.
On the other, it is also a water paradise ringed by a white-sand beach and lapped by clear waters. One can gambol in the large swimming pool along with countless shrieking kids, or enjoy the serenity of the Silence Pool on a hillside garden where whispering, rather than loud talking, is observed. Here, it is best to turn off the mobile phone and take pleasure from the stillness of the surroundings.
At Coco Beach Island Resort, a thousand and one delights await holiday makers. Whether one is in quest for a relaxing communion with nature, a thrilling time exploring natural wonders, a luxurious get-away with all manner of creature comforts and the most superb culinary indulgences, or a rejuvenating down time in the middle of a tropical paradise, Coco Beach Island Resort has the perfect spot waiting to be experienced and enjoyed.
