Experience:
Visited this resort on May 2008 and stayed for two days. A great company outing experience!
You can stay just outside your cottage while enjoying the beauty of the island surrounded by smooth sands and clear blue water. Or you can go snorkeling or scuba diving or perhaps have some adventures by kayaking around the resort. You can also visit other small islands nearby. Then savour their various delicious seafoods and have a relaxing massage afterwards. I had the chance to visit this beautiful island with the celebration of the 15th anniversary of our company. We flew via Cebu Pacific to Puerto Princesa. Then rode a chartered bus to the port/shore going to Dos Palmas. The boat ride to the island took about 50mins or so. Dos Palmas staffs welcomed us with cold drinks as we arrive the resort. Spent the remainder of the day doing company activities along the white and smooth-sandy shore.
In the night, we had our company party while savouring the delicious foods prepared by the resort for us. The next days were busy. Before breakfast, me and my wife with couple of our friends went kayaking and circling around the resort. It took as more than one hour before we reached our starting point! But it was a great yet tiring experience.
After breakfast, some went for scuba diving and some went snorkeling. A practice in the swimming pool is required though before they allow you to do the actual diving. I opted to go on relaxation so I went to the spa area for my "hilot".
We went to a nearby island too riding a boat provided by the resort and ate our lunch there.
It was a great summer outing.
