Dakong Bato Beach and Leisure Resort in Dalaguete
If you don’t have a beach resort in mind yet, I highly recommend visiting Dakong Bato Beach and Leisure Resort in Dalaguete, Cebu. Located at the southern part of Cebu, specifically at the municipality of Dalaguete in Barangay Coro, the Resort offers a great view of the sea, nice pools, comfortable rooms and adequately cropped lawns.
Finding the resort isn’t going to be a problem. The name itself, Dakong Bato, means “A Huge Rock.” It’s actually the landmark of the Resort. Just before you enter the resort’s gate, you will see a huge rock at the entrance gate.
Dakong Bato and Leisure Resort offers fully-air conditioned rooms each with its own private bathroom, equipped with TV and DVD. Rooms can accommodate 2-10 people depending on size, whether for couples, families or barkadas. There are specially-designed rooms for workshops and team buildings. The Resort also offers free WiFi access to its guests and visitors. With that, there’s no reason for anyone not to update their Instagram and Facebook post with the awesome time you’re having!
Cottages are available for guests who wants to spend a day-use at the beach. They have nice pools and a child-friendly spring water pool too. The latter comes with a slide and a Jacuzzi, a perfect way to relax with its warm waters.
Aside from the gardens, cottages and pools, the Resort also has a basketball court. They also offer rubber kayaks and dingy boats rentals and a cave adventure to relish the laid-back atmosphere.
