Coco Beach Island Resort is located in Sabang, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. There are several types of rooms to choose from (standard, deluxe, suite). These are native huts with no airconditioning so you can enjoy the natural coolness of the place. When booking or reserving, make sure to inquire which rooms have a seaview and which don’t have one — if you are particular about having a seaview. A seaview can be very relaxing as I have found out!

Recently, have had friends and relatives take trips to the Ilocos Region. All are one in saying that it is a nice place to visit — although all say that the trip can be pretty tiring. Ilocos is an 8-9 hour drive from Manila although you also have the option of flying to Laoag from Manila. The flight takes about 45 minutes and with the reduced airfares courtesy of both Cebu Pacific and PAL, flying may be a good option now.
