PANSUKIAN RESORT

Although most known for its impressive surf breaks, the enchanting island of Siargao is also home to a romantic retreat.Hidden amongst a coconut plantation, wooed by a nearby lagoon,and nestled beside an immaculate beach, Pansukian is a hedonistic heaven. The resot has nine cottages, guaranteeing seclusion. A private veranda and hammock further privacy from prying eyes and/ or annoying neighbors. No loud bras, no noisy parties, and no irritating vendors hawking souvenirs. It is for a lack of a 70-foot yatch, a couple's answer to a call for paradise, sounds a little cheesy to you? Believe us, the missus will love it. Pack light. You'll both be spending your honeymoon in some state of undress.

Sex is a great aerobic workout.But surely at some point you'll want to see the rest of the island, right?Leave your bedroom long enough to let housekeeping wash those (rumpled) stained sheets and explore. You need to have some photos that you can show when you get home.

Surfing and Scuba-Diving : These are activities not for the faint of heart. If you decide to skip the adrenalinerush, check out.......

Island hoping: Hire an outrigger boat and explore the sorroundings islands. Snorkel in water so clear you'll think it's a glass. If you want to be cherry,erm, romantic, hold hands while you're at it. Then sit down to a picnic-for-two, then rest up then,If you're still feeling outdoorsy,take a short climb to the top of the hill for a photo-op view.

Kayaking: Remember that beach commercial from way back when? Now you can do that, too. Only you'll be much cooler because you get to do it through a mangrove forest that leads to a saltwater lake.

Look for crocodiles: The Del Carmen swamps are home to Steve Irwin's favorite beast.If you're lucky you'll spot some basking in the sun. Remmber not ot make references about your new mother-in-law. There will be time enough for that once the honeymoon is over.

Shell collecting: Self explanatory. Walk along the beach, collect shells.Give them as souvenirs if you're too cheap to buy pasalubong.

Deep sea flashing: Fishing in Siargao means facing off against sailfish, jacks and yellow fin tuna.A manly activity that should boost your testo-sterone levels afer all that shell collecting. most, if not all, of these activities can be scheduled through Pansukian resort

IF YOU WANT EXTRA HOT The more adventurous honeymooner may want to attempt doing the deed al fresco. Although the clarity of the ocean doesn't provide much cover, the creative will find ways to sneak a little action while caving, climbing, oreven picknicking on the beach. Plus, the warm waters of Siargao island are perfect for that 'midnight swim."
