Canonoy Beach Resort, Negros Occidental Philippines

, 

Canonoy Beach Resort is located in the municipality of Hinigaran, Province of Negros Occidental, Philippines. Hinigaran is a first-class municipality and currently hosts numerous beach and swimming pool resorts.

Coming from Bacolod, one can easily find the place by just taking a bus at the South Ceres Terminal in Lopez Jaena Street in Bacolod City. Take the bulilit bus plying Hinigaran and inform the bus conductor that you want to go down at "bangga" Canonoy or Brgy. Anahaw. Bus fare cost P40, the bus ride takes 50 minutes to 1 hour, 40 minutes if you drive your own car from Bacolod. Take a tricycle to bring you to the resort, fare is P10 per person. The entrance fee is P15 for adult and P10 for kids. Day cottages rental fee ranges from P200-300 at Phase 1. A new phase was recently added to the resort with an adult and kids pool to boot. Phase II entrance fee is P25 while pool fee is P40 for kids and adult, day cottage cost P600.

Overnight cottages are available on both Phase I and II. Rental fee ranges from P1,000-P3,000. One can bring along the whole family because the place is quite affordable. One can bring a portable stove or charcoal if one wish to cook their own food. If you opt to go there for a day tour only, food is available at the resort restaurant. Although when you're on weekends, one needs to order an hour or an hour and half before you wish to eat. The restaurant can only accept order so much and rely on a regular gas stove. I wonder if they know there’s a high pressure burner for fast cooking. Though when you’re on the beach, everything seems to go slowly and everybody’s so understanding unless you’re hungry from that traveling….heheheh! It is best that upon arrival you order food first then check the place out, then just go back to the resto when your food is ready.

I also discovered that one can rent a fishing boat at P150 for 15 minutes and sail the length of the Paradiso Beach Resort and Makikiling area. Fun indeed!

Makikiling Point Beach Resort - Hinigaran

Michelle in front of the stone wall

Two weeks ago, my cousins and I brought our kids to Makikiling Point Beach Resort. It's located at Brgy. Gargato in the coastal town of Hinigaran, 54 kilometers away from Bacolod City. Brgy. Gargato has four beach resorts - Gargato, Maay, Rodrigazo and Makikiling Point. Our preference is always Makikiling Point Beach Resort. The place got a hill where you can see the coastline on top and a cove where you can go walking and marvel at nature's best.  The hill is exclusive to the resort goers while the cove is open to the public. One can reach the resort by car, motorcycle or tricycle. Tricycle fare is P10.00 per passenger. The entrance fee is P5.00 each (adult or child) and the cottage rental fee is P100.00 (whole day). A hand water pump is provided to get underground water for bathing. One just have to take a bath in the open air. A toilet and dressing area is provided.   

The cove.

The sandy beach is dark in color. My daughter Ceci thought its dirty but its not its just the color of the sand in the area. In shallow waters you can see school of fish darting around. My favorite place is the cove. Not a lot of people go there though. In the past we consider the area sacred since we made to believe that Mariang Makiling reside there. We are not suppose to shout or disturb the spirits but nowadays it's not observed anymore. Or maybe nobody believed in the myth in this day and age. Interesting stone formations can be found there especially at the edge of the resort going to the other side of the hill where the infamous cove is located. 

At the far end of the cove, one can see a large rock formation. It's flat and "sisi" (baby oysters) can be seen clinging on the stones. Back in my teenage years, my church choir group would go there and we would happily open the "sisi" and eat it straight from the shell. One just have to open it right from the stone. I can still remember the taste - salty and tangy...hmmm.
