Talikud Island is another nearby island in Samal. Also packed with beautiful and peaceful serene beaches is a place to visit on hot summer days.
After My DayTrip in Samal Island I opted to go to Talikud to experience the island. First thing that comes into my mins is the Isla Reta Beach Resort. With all the great reviews, I told my self that am not going back to Manila with out checking out this Island can offer.
How To Get Here:
From Manila take a plane trip to Davao and travel time is about 1hr and 20 mins.There are lots of cabs waiting outside the airport to take you to your destination. Dont forget to choose the regular fare Taxi.
There are 2 Different point of entry to Talikud Island. One is coming from Sta Ana Wharf or one coming from Samal Island thru Poblacion Kaputian. From Davao City its more convinient to come from Sta Ana Wharf.
About 2:45pm i arrived in the Kaputian Beach and i had the chance to see the place , it was just a small beach with powdery white sand but nothing much to see. I decided to hopped in to The Isla Reta Boat that will be departing at 3:00 pm going to Talikud Island. The fare from Kaputian Poblacion to Talikud port is 35php and if you are going directly to Isla Reta , they charge 100php.Travel time is just about 5 mins. We are around 5-6 person in the charter boat and everyone go when we arrived the Port. Since am the only one to Isla Reta and they are really Going there the boatman told me to just pay 35php instead of 100php. Yay! i saved 65php. Thanks to Manong Boatman!
At 3.15pm, We arrived at the resort. But i am wondering that no one even welcomed or even asked for the entrance fee.. I just continued walking towards the cottages. There are some nice cottages for small group and big groups,Rooms are also available just right behind the cottages, still the view is great if you are going to stay in one of the rooms they are offering. In my case i just came here for a daytour trip again.
It was weekday that time,it is not that crowded, some guest i had talked to told me that on weekend the resort really gets crowded as its very accessible from Davao thru Sta Ana Wharf. So i am lucky to enjoy the peace, the view, the beach, the sun and the nature for quite sometime.
I stayed in this resort for about 2.5 hrs just sitting, relaxing and enjoying this place can offer.
