PLAYA DE PARAISO: Another Paradise within Paradise

The heavens have connived: schedule and weather permitted us to have a taste of paradise on Ghost Month (that is August, where there will always be rain and typhoon lurking around the corner). And so one hot hot afternoon, we head to Buenavista, Guimaras and traveled to Playa de Paraiso.

Alubihod, Guimaras : Weekend Getaway

The island of Guimaras is most famous for its sweet mangoes and of course, its unspoiled white sand beaches and breathtaking islets. For a weekend respite me and my friends chose one of the famous beach destinations, which is Alubihod. This small stretch of beach paradise is located in Nueva Valencia, a 30-45 minute travel from Jordan Wharf, and we decided to stay at Raymen’s. 

  

There are three resorts open for accommodation, the other two namely Alubihod Cove and Rico Beach Resort. But Raymen’s has been popular way back for its affordable prices and acceptable accommodations.
