Destination: Moalboal

| Moalboal Sunset |

My first out of town trip was with my groupmates during our post graduate intership. We had the weekend off so we decided to take a trip. So we researched some good places to go where the beaches are. The group's top pick was Moalboal, where we arrived on a Saturday afternoon just near sunset. To make things affordable, my 2 groupmates who had their birthdays without a pary, and I who was a week short for my next birthday, decided to shoulder dinner. Our all-you-can-eat buffet consisted of CnT lechon, ngohiong and puso from Domeng's located just near Fairlane Village in Guadalupe, Sr. Pedro lechon manok and of course, softdrinks. Actually, we had to sneak our food in the resort. Ssssshhhh!

So we stayed in this beautiful but small resort called Club Serena. Their cottage with 2 rooms can accomodate up to 4 persons, for Php 3,200/room while the beach front cottage costs more but can accomodate 5 to 6 people if my memory serves me right.

| The Cottage |
|
This is the cottage where we stayed. It actually has a honeymooner's ambiance. It was really cozy, clean and spacious, well worth every peso. One sweet feature for these cottages is they come with a sitting area such as this one.

| Beachfront Cottage |
|
This is the beachfront cottage that comes with a small dining area and sink, a lounge area with television. We actually brought a Magic Sing with us for fun. I guess that one broke the honeymoon ambiance. Our apologies for disrupting the magical moments of couples nearby. Among the resort's guests, we were the ones who came in a group. Other cottages in the resort are the tree house cottages which are at some distance from the beach.
One of the interesting things that the resort advertises is their pool. According to their website, they use ionized water for their pool which won't hurt your eyes. So we tested it and they weren't kidding.

| The Beach |
The beach of course doesn't come with sand as fine as that of Boracay's. At this time of the year (-ber months), expect some kelp and seaweeds clinging on you after you take a dip. As always, Moalboal can rightly boast as one of the top diving spots in Cebu. They actually have a dive master in the resort so you can arrange for some lessons during your stay.
The spots in the resort where you can just laze around are the cabana and the lanai area where you can arrange to have a massage.

| Lanai |
You can actually have a reception here at the lanai for about 30 people. Not bad, huh.

| The Restaurant |
Adjacent to the lanai is the restaurant. They serve continental and Filipino dishes. The bonus here is that they sell gelatto (I forgot the brand though). Prices aren't overblown so the taste and value won't be an issue.
All in all, it was a good experience and would definitely recommend this place. It's much more suited for a romantic get away than a barkada trip. The resort is not that big but provides a lot of privacy and is placed at some distance from other resorts. The staff is courteous and the place is well maintained. Just book in advanced especially during the summer months as well as during February.
I hope I can make a second trip to this place.
