Obong Spring, Dalaguete Cebu

One of my first amazing experienced with my friends was going to Dalaguete. Amazing because we went their out of planned and in the break of the storm. It was a 3 hour trip from South Bus Terminal, fare was only Php 80 (ours was 70 (student discount) :D)

@emall(meeting place)


The original plan was an overnight stay @lop2x's place in Dalaguete, unfortunately her Uncle had an attacked the night before we set off and unluckily they forgot to informed us. So, we waited for 1 hour thinking they might be late, but seems like no one really arrived at the said time and beyond.
Hence, we contact some other friends to joined us 4 anywhere to pass by the frustration. And we decided to go on the original plan.

Frustration fades away upon arrival seeing this turquoise water..


It was low tide...


Fresh and salt water joined together...

Elegant Beach Resort, San Remigio

Our instructor gave us a project in which we must find a place that's unspoiled. Unfortunately, me and my group mates thought that an existing one would be okay as long as it isn't famous and in need of great development for the lack of facilities and other hospitality activities.
We decided to go for less famous provinces in Cebu which we thought has a greater possibility for attractions and development. Indeed, we found this beach resort in Anapog, San Remigio. Our experienced was a trekked of 4 kms. from Bancasan.
Our arrival caught the attention of the only occupant for the day, the birds :D. The resort was a 2 hectare, owned by the Cinco siblings (Elegant Circle Inn). According to the attendants, the lot was formerly owned by the Aballe. It has only 6 employees and they are trained to work all around.



a mini park?







If you are seeking for a place to find solitude, I would highly recommend this one. 
Room rates are low, cater to all functions, facilities are good except that they don't have restaurant yet you can bring foods free of charge. 
Lodging facilities includes dormitory that can accommodate 14 people for only 350/pax/night, minimum of 10.
The place can be reach by habal-habal (Php 20/head) from Tambongon its only 1.5-2kms far. On the way, you can pass by San Remigio Beach Club, which is quiet expensive.



Dormitory- Fully aircondition
