A ROYAL TREAT AT DAYANG BEACH RESORT

Dayang Beach Resort

A few months ago, some of my officemates planned a break at the beach. Because I was awesome, they decided to have me come with them (that’s just the way it is). The weekend getaway was on the verge of discontinuing as we had a difficulty in choosing a place to stay.

Then like a ray of light after a dark storm, we found out about Dayang Beach Resort.

A colleague of mine got hold of contact information of the owner of the resort so all our questions were answered and we were able to prepare before we got going.

Here’s a word. If you are planning to go to Dayang Beach Resort, BE PREPARED. The resort is a very remote area far away from the city. And, it is still in its development stage to better serve their customers.

When we went there during May 2011, it wasn’t that developed but it was already enough to have that R&R feeling. Personally, I like the place. It isn’t so luxurious that it remains its anonymity and it isn’t so ugly to the point of being an uncomfortable place to stay.

The only thing that kind of irritated me was the travel to and from. If you’re from Davao City, there is only one boat that travels straight to Dayang and it has only one schedule which is at 1PM on the weekends. Well, maybe I was irritated that time because I was not able to anticipate that the travel would last for an hour and a half and I didn’t have my lunch!

But, the irritation was suddenly overpowered with happiness when we arrived at the place. It was heaven for me! It was so silent and the water is so clear that you can see the cut where the water starts to get very deep.

There is no entrance fee yet during the time we went there, we made a deal with the owner to make all the amenities accessible if we get the duplex which only amounts to P1,800 and can fit 8 people. She agreed so we didn’t have a problem there.

What I didn’t like about the resort is the unavailability of tap water. The water that flows out the faucet is still saltwater so you need to bring a lot of water if you don’t want to buy there for your food or for washing purposes.

Another problem was the travel home-bound. The boat from Dayang leaves to port at 7AM. Unless you are willing to spend money and time on travelling the long way, you’d want to wake up early to catch the one and only boat ride back.

All in all, Dayang Beach Resort is the perfect getaway if you really want to have a break from all the stress in your work. The only thing you need to do is prepare. If you do this, you will surely have a great time at the resort
