Ocean 101 Resort, Siargao Island
When I arrived at Sayak Airport, I didn’t have any reservations yet. Even so, I had already planned where to stay, and it was a “come-what-may” decision if there were no available rooms at the resort.

Summer has come, which means it’s time for team building! Our first choice was Singli Mountain Resort in San Fernando, but we weren’t too impressed with the place. One reason we chose Singli was because of the team’s budget. Another reason was that we have two pregnant members on our team, so traveling to far places wasn’t an option. The team kept looking for another venue, but just in case we couldn’t find one, we had no choice but to stay there. Good thing my supervisor had attended a reunion at a resort in Danao, Cebu, and said it was a nice place for team building. I had never heard much about the resort, but when I checked their website,

Our team was supposed to have our team building here, but since they don’t offer any promos for 15 people, we just backed out. I decided to bring my family instead, since this is a new resort and we also wanted to try it out.

My parents are from Dipolog City, and we’ve been to Dapitan many times since we were kids. Dapitan City is also known as the place where Jose Rizal was exiled. Aside from that, it’s famous for Dakak and Gloria’s Fantasyland. My mom once said that before Dakak became popular as “Dakak Resort,” part of it was owned by their family. However, they didn’t know how to manage a resort, and maybe because of the cost, they decided to sell it to Mr. Jalosjos instead.

Family Bonding Time! Since it’s summer, my family decided to have a mini getaway. And since Papa didn’t want to go south, we just went to the north side. I searched for resorts there because I’m not really familiar with the area. I even looked into El Salvador, but I didn’t like the place. Then, I saw my friend on Facebook uploading her summer photos. Evil grin And that’s how I found Coco Palm Resort.
