Camotes Island, Cebu Philippines



Sun Rise over Camotes Island (I don't know if you can see from there)
Camotes Island is one of a few islands that you might plan to visit. The island is located east of Cebu. Travelling to this island is pretty exciting for me because I always love to travel or when I can I guess. I can be your little sweet explorer while your reading this, but don't expect me to bring you somewhere that is not on my topic( hahaha ). But, let's move on, I'll discuss on my next blog how to get there, for now I'll discuss places I have visited. It would'nt be a lot of places that you can see on this post but for me my trip there was worth it even though its just an overnight trip.

Where I(with friends) stay?
Aliyanarah Lodge  is a reasonable and affordable place if you want to save some money for your vacation. Don't expect too much I hope, you get what you paid for this kind of lodge/hotel. But I am happy with my stay there. Staffs are friendly and accommodating.

It is located in Poblacion, San Francisco Proper which is heart of Camotes. This place is accessible to eatery, Agora Market and Baywalk. So probably you won't starve when you stay there. It is 30 to 45 mins. ride from Consuelo,Camotes Port so my suggestion(if you like) is to rent a motorcycle/scooter. They don't have much public transportation available for people or you may bring your car/s or scooter/motorcycle with you. Advantage of having transportation with you is you can go anywhere you want without a hassle of commuting.

As you can see the road is clean, it is one thing you would love about the place.

Lake Danao Park
Lake Danao Park also known as Lover's Lake it is situated within town of Campo and Union, north of Santiago Bay and Mangodlong, it's a perfect place for family as well as groups and of course for lovers. They have such activities you can do such as : Kayaking, Boat Paddling, Zorb and Horse Back Riding. You can spend your leisure time having a picnic or just simply relax on the shades and with a cool breeze.
