Lakawon Island Resort and Spa




My favorite island resort has recently changed management. It is now known as LAKAWON ISLAND RESORT AND SPA. For everybody's information, please find herewith the new contact numbers. Photo credit to Cadiz City Tourism Office.  




As of the moment, Entrance Fee is P100/person, Day cottage rental is P1,000, Roundtrip boat fare is P150/person, minimum of 10 pax per trip. However, there is a different boat rate for those who are less than 10 - 1-4 pax is P1,000,  5-7 pax is P1,200 and 8-10 pax is P1,500. Terminal Fee is P20/person. Corkage Fee is P50/pax.

No corkage fee for outside food at the moment because their restaurant is not operational yet. I was told they will charge corkage fee starting January 2016.

You may also check the FB page of Cadiz City Tourism Office for pictures of the developments in the island.

Raymen Beach Resort in Guimaras Island

Recently, I was assigned to assist students in their Guimaras trip. And, I couldn't resist documenting our travel from Negros to Guimaras Island since this is my first time to go to the main island. Going to Raymen Beach Resort from Negros takes 1 hour and 20 minutes fast ferry boat ride, 15 minutes boat ride from Iloilo City wharf and another 45 minutes land travel.
