Its Our 4th @ Tropicana Castle Resort

Its our 4th wedding anniversary, and unlike last year where we went far across the metro (Coron, Palawan) to celebrate it, we settled at Tropicana Castle Resort in Sabang, Puerto Galera. We were given a 50% discount on their honeymoon suite or more commonly know as the "DOME". Spent  2 days and 3 nights at this amazing room or rather suite. The dome has its:

Hello Bacolod - Part 3: Carbin Reef

One of the most amazing island I have been too, next to Magalawa Island is Carbin Reef. Its a white sand islet - 150 meters long and 30 meters wide to be exact. It is part of Sagay Marine Reserve - 30 minutes boat ride from Cadiz City, Negros Occidental. And since it is strictly protected, tourist must secure permit first. I suggest that days prior to arrival, permit should be properly secured through coordination with City Tourism Office of Sagay or you may contact Mario/Ramil (our boatmen) at +639216955665 and +639216374341.

Hello Bacolod - Part 2: Mambukal Resort

On our 2nd day, we went straight to Mambukal Resort which is located in Murcia, Bacolod City. From Circle Inn, we rode a jeep (php8.00 each) going to Libertad Terminal and took a mini-bus (php30.00 each) going to the town of Murcia. Good thing one of us speaks Ilongo, he was able to convince the driver to drop us off straight to the gate of Mambukal, otherwise it will take us another 15-20 minutes of walking. Also, he was able to request for the driver to save us seats on our way back to the city.

Hello Bacolod - Part I: The Ruins

Another seat sale we found and BOOM, we found ourselves booked for Bacolod. It took us sometime to create our IT since most of the tourist spots' locations are far from one another. Being a beach bum, I personally prefer  sandbars, island hopping, discovering sea creatures, etc. but I was told of the famous Mambukal Resort where one could visit their 7 cascading falls. I wouldn't miss the chance of seeing it.
