Dayang Beach Resort


Welcome to Dayang Beach Resort


Dayang Beach Resort is about 30 mins bumpy ride thru habal habal from the well known Isla Reta Resort in Talicud Island. Its found on the western part of the island near the famous snorkelling sanctuary Coral Garden and Babu Santa. Going there is better with a habal habal but better be prepared it will be the ride of your life πŸ˜›. I hired the habal to the resort for 100 pesos.

It was around 5pm when i started travelling to the Dayang Beach Resort. It was really a fun ride but its a little bit uncomfortable to me as i was carrying a big backpack and my clothes are wet ( have'nt had a chance to change in Isla Reta)  so i kept sliding in the motor. It was really a bumpy ride as the road going to the resort is not developed yet meaning, u have to bear with some steep , rocky, and bumpy road. But its managable if ur adventurous enough.

I booked a room to Dayang prior to my arrival. The room i booked was a simple single fan room shared bathroom (few steps away from my room) worth 500 pesos a night and it was located in beach front as in few steps away.
Since i arrived little late i wasnt able to see the beauty of the place. I walked a little and i saw that the place is so quite and the guest that time are very few so i was delighted that i will have a good and peaceful stay in this resort.

my backyard isn't it so nice?

They have inhouse cook which u can order the food u want and they will cook it for you. I choose the grilled tuna fillet for 280 and 20 for 1 cup of rice. After an hour , the lady from the resort knocked in my door and served the food out side (i hve a little veranda with table)
I was surprised with the food. The serving of grilled tuna is huge enough for 2-3person.
I cant finish all and i saw some dog and cat around i shared it to themπŸ˜€i made them happy for some reason.
my dinner grilled tuna fillet good for 2-3 pax awesome

It was cold at night i dont even have to open the fan at night.  All i can hear is the sound of the waves and some gecko.I slept so good and i just woke up at 6am coz of my alarm. I really want to wake up early to see the entire place.

I was amazed to see the beauty of the place.
I can see the Mt. Apo very visible and not being covered by the clouds. Mt Apo happens to be the tallest mountain in the Philippines.
All i can say that time is WOW. Such a beauty. That place is really blessed with the beauty of nature. Beautiful blue sky, prestine blue green water, white sands, and peace and tranquility.What else i could ask for?

I walked through the beach and  i met some locals doing fishing and some are selling waterpearls.
I swam a little to experience the beach and i feel great the water is not too cold early in the morning. Also its good for the kids as the water is not that deep few steps from the shore. Theres also a sign where to swim and not to swim because of the strong water current.
few people in the resort 

such a magnificent view 

There a place beside dayang called Babu Santa, its a favorite stop over of island hoppers for lunch and do some swimming.

About 9.30am i started packing up my things as they have a ferry that will leaving directly from Dayang to the Sta ana wharf. I opted to join this trip than to go back to the port near Isla Reta.
So this is a very good option for me to save time and effort to go Davao. Fare is 150 pesos ,travel time is about 45 mins..

Pros:
If you want peace and serenity and uncrowded beach this is the place for you.
Great beach and nature with a good view of Mt Apo in the morning.
If you want to get unconnected to the real world.

Cons:
The internet is not good the signal is very weak so if you are working with internet this will be a problem for you.
Water for freshin up, and taking bath cost 20 pesos per container yes.. 20 per container strange it should be included with the room charge.
Theres no socket for charging. As in nothing.
You are allowed to charge but u need to go to the owner's house which is few steps away.
Theres no electricity from 2 or 3 am till the morning.

But over all stay for relaxation is great.
I can manage some pesos for water charge.
I can manage poor internet signal
I can manage no electricity in the middle of the night.
Don't forget you came here to relax,to unwind, to have peace of mind  not to post  your stuff every hour in facebook πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€.
