You know one thing I like about our place in Bicol, Philippines? Proximity to resorts! If I want to have a swim in the ocean, my parents place are right in Bacacay Albay where we are surrounded by black sand beaches! The town right next to us, Sto. Domingo also has their fair share of beaches. If I want to go for white sand beaches and a bit of luxury, I could just as easily hop on a boat a head for Cagraray Islands where beaches are almost as superb as other popular beach spots in the country albeit more secluded.
Camarines Sur Water Sports Complex is also just two hours drive while Caramoan peninsula in Camarines Sur can be reached in half-day. So, we didn’t really need to go on long trips to get the swimming my daughter wants to have during our vacation.
Another great discovery we made is that spring and pool resorts are popping out everywhere! This is a good news specially since it does encourage more active tourism and it provides jobs and us a great variety of place to enjoy. Here’s one very near our house – Springzone Resort in San Jose Malilipot Albay. We could get there in less than 15 minutes! Went there early morning so there’s less crowds and Chinks had a happy time splashing around. The water though is from the spring so its really really cold and just perfect to cool you down.
How I miss Bicol! I’m sure I’d be lost if I go there one of these days. Naga and Legaspi Cities I bet are unrecognizable na.
– and I can see why. Super-inviting ang tubig and the whole place is just lovely.
When I was still working in Legaspi we featured the many resorts from Bacacay to Sto. Domingo. The black sands in that areas reminded me of the sands in Japan – volcanic kasi at may healing properties daw. I think my Tita Vina lives in Bacacay but I forgot her family name na. Will ask my mother, tibaad kabisto man nindo.
Feel na feel man ni Chinks ang pool
naku Z, Bacacay, Sto Domingo and Malilipot are fast developing into resort towns. puro pools under construction.. lucky us hehe there’s another one walking distance from our house na under construction hopefully we could try it next time..
Legazpi is so different na medyo ‘metro’ na ang dating and I love the new integrated terminal! and there’s an SM Supermarket right next to the terminal pa. convenient talaga
hii I like the view, mountain in the behind of pool and resort. loke so naturally
