THE RESORT (Source: Coco Beach website)

Coco Beach Island Resort is a sprawling 10-hectare beach resort with facilities made from all-natural materials. Everything is designed to complement each facility and its natural surroundings. Definitely, an idyllic place to recharge frayed nerves, with its cozy ambiance of bamboo and nipa hut in its very Filipino type of hospitality and accommodation.

If you’re thinking of getting away and escaping to a tropical island paradise, then you’ve found the perfect place.

Coco Beach is located at Behiya, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro where the crystal clear water of the sea is full of life; and the hills are full of coconut palms swaying with the breeze. Here in the old days, Spanish galleons passed by the trading routes between Europe, Mexico and the East.

Today, Coco Beach has bungalows and facilities all made in natural materials. No concrete is to be seen anywhere. We have over four restaurants, 110 rooms, tennis court, hanging bridge, sports facilities, 2 swimming pools, spa – everything blends with nature.

Antulang Beach Resort

I just want to share something I found about Antulang. I would've loved to write about the resort, but 'contract' wouldn't allow it. Haha. So, here it is. Taken from ClicktheCity.com

Still sleepless from an early flight to Dumaguete, we stumbled along the airport, fumbling with our bags and fixing our messy hair to look more alive. Our shuttle driver held up a sign with my friend's name on it. It was amusingly misspelled and left us all in stitches while boarding the van. An hour's worth of drive is what it took for us to reach our destination. We barely got to catch some shuteye during the drive -- there was a long stretch of bumpy dirtroad before we finally reached our resort. It was not a refreshing way to begin our vacation, but let me tell you this: once the big gates of Antulang opened to welcome us, a love affair began.
