PALAWAN HONEYMOON
My wife, Lowella, and myself have just returned from Club Paradise where we spent 5 nights. The flight to Busuangas Island where you are transferred to Club Paradise was an experience in that we flew straight into a typhoon.
The 19 seater plane shook visibly and the pilots spent what seemed a lifetime trying to spot the tiny runway in the limited visibility. Following the flight, there is a 15 minute jeepney ride which is highly entertaining followed by a one hour journey by boat up a beautiful river and into the open sea, where the typhoon was doing it's best to ensure the new guests all were soaked ! We stayed in cottage one, right on the beach and next to the bar - ideal for the stroll or stagger back late at night or early morning from the bar.
We had two days of very heavy rain and strong winds but nonetheless had an amazing time. The staff on the island are fantastic - welcoming, sincere, and helpful. Food was better than expected and chef was very sociable in the bar most evenings. We enjoyed the hiking trail, and as the weather improved, snorkelling off the beach was awesome.
The weather restricted excursions off the island and we found that even when the weather improved, the guests have to really take the initiative requesting trips because the staff do not really promote them. We went on a trip to Coron island which we cannot recomend enough. The scenery was breathtaking and snorkelling in the crystal clear Cayangan lake was an unforgettable experience. In summary this island is truly paradise even when you are unlucky with the weather as we were.
HONEYMOON COUPLE
A beautiful little island at the northern tip of Palawan. I had a 3 day honeymoon there and really enjoyed it. As did my wife. The facilities, the food and the staff were all excellent. The beach is wonderful. Perfect white sand and clear blue water. The snorkeling and scuba-diving were the highlights of my stay there. The coral reefs were home to amazing tropical fish and other sea creatures I didn't even know the name of!!! Very minor complaints would be a noisy air-conditioner and a weak shower (due to the need to conserve freshwater on the island, I was told). Also, you need to investigate the activities and options available. There was no information given on arrival. You have to ask the staff and check things out for yourself.The restaurant was very good. I thought the buffet was excellent.A great resort for a quiet (the place goes to sleep around 10pm) honeymoon.
