Travel Guide & Essential Tips
- Getting Here: From Tacloban City, it’s a scenic 45-minute drive crossing the historic San Juanico Bridge. If you’re commuting, take a van bound for Marabut at the New Tacloban Bus Terminal and ask to be dropped right at the resort entrance.
- Best Time to Visit: Aim for the dry season (March to May) for clear skies and perfect snorkeling conditions.
- Budgeting: Expect a mid-range experience. While rooms start around PHP 5,300+, the value lies in the privacy and direct access to nature that you simply can’t put a price on.
- Nearby Must-See: Don’t miss the Madung-Badong Islets and their hidden cave, or the iconic Tooth Islet.
