My Bbeyb's Birthday Trip. 😎

This trip was drafted early this year to celebrate my beyboss' birthday. These, for me, are seven great reasons to visit and revisit El Nido in no particular order:

1. Seven Commandos Beach

 

The polvoron-like sand in the Seven Commandos beach is so pure that it seemingly melts when you rub thru your skin, same as salt scrubs. Bbeyb enjoyed the foot scrubbing part. If we didn't have time limit, she may have stayed longer. ✌️️

 

This island can be reached via motorized boat and is 15 minutes away from El Nido Town Proper. If you are availing the tours offered by the hotels, this is part of Tour A. 

2. Talisay Beach

If you wish to swim and still enjoy the powdery white sand, this is the best place to go.

 

 

Book the Tour C package being offered by El Nido hotels. Most tour providers also cater their free picnic lunch here as part of the package. 

This is bbeyb's favorite part: buffet lunch by the beach! 🍴

 

3. Lagen Island Resort

If you are booking this resort, choose the water cottage. It's pricey, but is definitely worth the pennies. This is her personal choice of room. 

 

Here's why:

 

The water cottage also has the best view at night.

 

They offer packages that include buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner with access to all motorized activities and access to all resort amenities.

This again is her favorite part: buffet meal. 

 

They also provided a slice of cake for the birthday celebrant.

 

Happy birthday, bbeyb. 😘

4. Dibuluan Island Beach Club

This island is 15 minutes away from Lagen Resort via speed boat. We were lucky that nobody else was there when we visited.

It's like a birthday gift to the gorgeous celebrant. 😘

 

We feel like we owned the island for that day. They have sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards and other motorized activities in the island. 

 

When you're at Lagen, make sure that you book this tour as part of your itinerary.

5. Big and Small Lagoons

These are part of Tour A and can be reached via motorized boats from the town proper. 

The birthday celebrant enjoyed this part of the tour, and added, "no filter needed" on almost every posts she had.

 

There are also kayaks for rent.

 

6. Secret Beach

From the name itself, you wouldn't know it exists from the outside as the opening is really unnoticeable. To reach the beach, you need to swim through the rocks until you reach the other side.

So that's the celebrant, tired from catching her breath from the long swim.

 

7. Matinloc Resort

This newly opened resort is the latest apple of our eyes in El Nido. 

 

They have beachfront rooms, forest rooms, mountain villas and a lot more. 

 

The rooms are spacious and follow a modern interior design. The infinity pool and the beach areas are also commendable.

Their restaurant also serves the best food choices.

They also offer snorkelling activities where corals are abundant.

 

This, so far, for me, is the best part of this trip. What made this trip better, is that, I am spending it with the birthday celebrant, my beybabe, my partner, my beyboss and my lifetime food and travel buddy.

Happy Birthday, bbeyb. 😘 I wish you all the best of everything. I hope you're enjoying this trip as much as I do.

 

Until our next trip.

Love,

Beybabe ❤️
