Oceana, Puerto Galera










Oceana in Dulangan Beach,Puerto Galera, is a painless vacation. you get all the luxuries of a first-class resort (i.e., aircon, a decent phone signal, cable TV, a clean beach and an excellent view of the sea) but it's all cheaper and more accessible.
what to do
Oceana is the one prettiest resorts in Puerto Galera. It's not in White Beach or Sabang, which means that you're very far from crowds, girly bars hawkers following you to the toilet selling cheap souvenirs, and loud speakers blaring out "Asereje!" every five minutes. The whole resort is set up like a mini hacienda: The rooms are strewn around the main building, which overlooks a huge swimming pool. The main building is where people converge--- to eat, watch TV, read books.
Take a stab at darts, pingpong, beach volleyball, kayaking around the island, billards, or football---- it's all free anyway.(There are also plans to add a rock climbing wall.)
Snag a room facing the beach for A/C, cable TV and feel like you never left your house. And if you do want to go home (in cases of office emergencies or extreme wife-ly PMS wrought fights), it only takes three hours to get back o civilization (two by land plus one by boat). if your wife hides, the car keys, you always have alternatives: There are at leats five ferries a day and buses from the pier every hour. If you hate planning and think itinenary is a four-letter word,dont fear. You can go on tours that have every step already planned by the resort.
Scuba Dive: Puerto Galera is one of the best places in the country for diving. On any given dive, it's possible to see the huge schools of tuna, sharks, and even the occasional pawikan. The canyons, which start from the "hole in the wall," have lots og huge, wild fish like matting jacks. You can also go to Shark caves, a series of caves where whitetip sharks breed and sleep in the dark crevices.
Beach hopping; If you're feeling adventurous (or need to see more people), you can rent a boat and go beach hopping!
Sabang has good restaurant, while White Beach has the longest beach on the island. The boatmen can also take you to deserted, privates coves around Puerto Galera."The boatmen can cook a picnic lucnh just for our guest on different beaches. There are a lot of beautiful, deserted coves, so if you want to be alone, that's perfect,"say's Oceana manager Anthony Balaguer.
Land exploring: Chauffered vehickes take you around the island. You can play golf at the Ponderosa Golf Course(30 minutes away) then swim in the Tamaraw Falls. Motorbike rentals are available around the island, so if you're not into other people driving you around, you can just satisfy your wander lust on your own. (You don't even have to miss the cheap messages that people usuallyget in {Puerto Galera---massages at Oceana P350 per hour.)
IF YOU WANT IT EXTRA HOT And when you don't want to do anything but chill, you can stay at your veranda and lounge,sunbathe---or make out, it's your honeymoon for crying out loud!--in one of the four big cabanas around the property. They're prime romantic hotspots, especially with all the pink and red pillows can lie on.
