Coco Loco Island Resort, Roxas, Palawan

In palawan most of the places i visited, this resort was the best, dos palmas might have the modern amenities but in terms of the beauty, simplicity and real nature? its the coco loco island resort..

The resort was not well known in manila, it was only offered to us by our tour guide in puerto princesa, he gave us the brochure, with its cheap accommodation, we immediately made reservation on the city and it was radio-ed to the resort..











Instead of hiring a van (pajero actualy) which we did when we went to sabang-underground river, we chose to take a public transportation an ordinary bus to save money, it took us 4 hours from puerto princesa city to roxas, palawan. rough road and foggy!-just kidding it was all dust, it was like having a baby powder all over our body when we arrived in roxas, palawan.


at the beach we wait for the boat of the resort, it was a big boat (they call it dekwatro-in my hometown navotas) and we're only four-deluxe service hehe.. it took us 1 hour until we reach the island, coming from afar as we reach the island, it was magnificent (we just finished island hop at honda bay a day before) and this island is far more beautiful than any of those islands in Honda bay..

We had a welcome drink, a fresh coconut juice and a free dinner-smorgasbord.
it was my first time to do the kayak.. i thought it was easy, it was soo.. exhausting..


if i describe the cottage we rent it was like, you  go up to three step stairs, there's a small pool for your foot to wash from sand at the bottom, then a balcony where on the left side was a hammock, 



upon opening the door a queen size bed will come to view on your left and cabinet and tables and chairs on your right. a ceiling fan and mosquito net were available. at the far end there's a door with a curtain-your comfort room/shower room.


we tour around the island, since it can be walk around  in just 30 mins. we encounter crocodile shark on a shallow water mating, males are competing to a lone female.




as we came back to the resort proper, they have an in-house reef where guests were encourage to feed the fish and being a hobbyist ( i have a salt water tank at home) i am familiar with the fishes i saw under.. but not those rays.. who swam away when saw me coming near them.


they say it is best to snorkel late afternoon, this is the time where the predator fish came to hunt, i saw those Lion fish floating on the water not moving and grouper whose like sitting atop the corals waiting for fish to swallow.  a school of reef fish (Sweet lips) below..slowly scanning the corals for the small fishes to grab..



while enjoying the view, suddenly i noticed something is with me, i was shocked! i don't know what to do.. as i look at my right and left side, rear and below, i was surrounded by hundred of Jackfish. OMG! am i doomed??



a foreigner guy who is snorkeling too was so amazed by how those jackfish surrounds me and glide with me, they are an inch away from me, but when you start to touch them they will move away and return back later.. it felt like i was so blessed swimming with them; my friends are already taking a rest.. it was a unbelievable moment..


at night, after eating our complimentary dinner-squid, fish, crab and chicken. we play billards and dart,  we end up the night by talking sensible matters-role of the church and it's stand on contraceptive to ever growing population explosion. LOL
