MANGODLONG ROCK RESORT CAMOTES
Exact location: Mangodlong, Heminsulan, San Francisco, Camotes, Cebu
Mangodlong Rock Resort Camotes is located in Himensulan, Pacijan Island (which is now known as San Francisco Island) in the Philippines. It has a 2-hectare land area with a coconut shaded garden close to the beachfront. A strange-shaped swimming pool attached to each other for both adults and children gives another option for visitors to swim. Near the beach are tropical huts built on a coral islet. One hut on a wonderful rock formation now serves as the concept of the logo design of Mangodlong. The clean, native-style rooms have very clean bathrooms with cable TV options.
One of the best beach resorts and accommodations Camotes has to offer is Mangodlong Rock Resort or fondly known as Mangodlong to locals. It is a sister resort to Santiago bay and occupies a small cove. It offers one of the best snorkeling spots on the island and it has a PADI dive center that charges the standard fee of $25 per dive known as Ocean Deep.
Wonderful huts located near the rooms are used as an eating area and provide a classic dining experience. They offer a decent price for their luscious food and tropical drinks.
I literally left my heart in Mangodlong Rock Resort Camotes because of the octopus slide! I wanted to slide but the tita in me just want to just take some photographs and write an article about the place. We also tried their food and I must say that their pancit is very delicious. Plus, the white sand is a sight for sore eyes!
