Province of Sorsogon Hotel Tips by uysijessa

we stayed here in february 2007 and at that time the resort was still fairly new so some of the amenities were still under construction or being improved on. rooms are a bit on the small side with a wall fan for each. before arriving we had already asked for mosquito nets to be put up since there wasn't any airconditioning. if you're not comfortable sleeping inside a mosquito net, make sure to bring a mosquito repellent. also there's a schedule for turning the water tank on and off so its a good idea to check if the water's on before taking a bath. no hot and cold water though and the bathrooms are a bit on the small, cramped side. owners were very nice though and tried to make us feel at home and grant our requests. no pool but the beach is right at your doorstep.

Unique Qualities: the place is a little on the remote side so its very quiet especially at night. in the daytime, the view is great and we found out that they cater to weddings if you like. we saw pictures of how they set up the place for weddings and its quite good if you want to have a nice beach wedding.

this is the best place to stay in if you plan to do a whaleshark encounter because the resort is right beside the visitor center where you have to register first before you can swim with the whalesharks. the resort is also right on the beach and has nice views. rooms are big (bungalow type housing with 1-2 rooms each) which would be convenient for those carrying a lot of diving gear. also since there's only 1 or 2 rooms per bungalow and the bungalows apart from each other, there's enough room for privacy and some peace and quiet. only thing we noticed was that there wasn't any really security around and the resort was quite open to whoever wants to go in and out. plus not a lot of amenities. we stayed in february of 2007 and i don't know if the place was still new and being built/renovated hence the lack of security and amenities.

Unique Qualities: spacious tiled bathroom with hot and cold shower...love it!!!!
