- Martin WIdaho Falls, ID201 contributionsWe spent a quiet afternoon on this beautiful island. We relaxed on the beach. Played in the water. And explored the island. This was a very fun and relaxing day after 3 dives in the morning. Glad we got the chance to go there and experience tis place.Written 2 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jovitong.galaCalabarzon Region, Philippines226 contributionsDropped by one late afternoon during our stay in Ormoc. Since there were no other visitors when we arrived the place was super quiet, the water in the lake was so still it looked like glass. Fog starts to embrace the mountains around the lake in the afternoon giving you a coo, serene feeling.Written 5 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- delight gCebu Island, Philippines39 contributionsUntouched and beautiful! Unspoiled!
Boat trips from Naval might change from time to time, so be sure to check day before you go to Marapipi. From Marapipi, we rented a boat for P300/4 persons, twas a nice ride. We paid P100 for the entrance fee at Sambawan Island.
Overall, the beauty is very overwhelming.Written 6 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Basically only 2 accom. options being Evershore or Dak Dak Beach Resort. I stayed at Evershore as it was a short walk from the port but if I was traveling with my partner I would stay at Dak Dak.
Evershore building is certainly showing its age. I contacted via fb to enquire about room availability as no information is provided on their fb page. I was advised and subsequently booked an aircon room with no TV. I booked over 4 months in advance. I had to lodge a 50% deposit to secure the booking but I paid the full amount for 2 nights. Turns out there are different room configurations to choose from. As I understand, all/most rooms now have TV but they were still waiting on having the signal/connection sorted out when I stayed. Service is indifferent.
Overall, Evershore served its purpose for me. I don't have high expectations when I stay at places on islands as they all have their logistical challenges.Written 13 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The boaters were friendly and the boats itself gave a cool vibe to the trip. You have many options like snorkeling, walking the beach, swimming, and having a picnic too! There’s one island that has a snack stand with fish balls too.Written 13 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carl W12 contributionsBeautiful gem on the Southern tip of Leyte. Cool drinks, good food, friendly staff and honest owners. We found this place and couldn't be happier. The scrambled chicken was to die for!! Worth the drive and can't wait to go back!!Written 7 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- juliabebu8 contributionsI can say we are lucky enough to have the island with less tourist around. We have explored and appreciated the whole Island for at least a 20-minute walk. It also has a marine sanctuary at the back part. I really hope the local government would maintain and find ways to preserve the Island’s Beauty.Written 14 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FaithTheXplorerSan Mateo, Philippines186 contributionsWe were curious about the red beach and thought maybe the sand is red, but it has deeper meaning along with the history... You will find Gen. DouGlas MacArthur and his men. Its quite a walk from the highway going there....Written 18 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Regie CLas Pinas, Philippines116 contributionsOne of the best places I have ever been. From the moment I set foot on the barangay until I departed. The locals are very much hospitable, especially the heads of the guide organization (the CALEGUID). They treated me as a part of their family. During my hike, my guide which is a bit younger than me, is very much approachable and well-trained, thanks to their continuous training. I summitted the mountain, Alto Peak, and back to the barangay in just a day. The trail is narrow, different from the mountains I have been and the place is full of different flora and fauna which can only be seen in the area. The Lake Janagdan is a true beauty to behold, I stayed there for 2 hours while catching fish 😂. Their are also falls, the Tres Aguas, which I really enjoyed after the hike. There are others sites to visit but I wasn't able to because of time constraint. Someday I'll pay a visit to the place again.Written 29 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- MartyCebu City, Philippines380 contributionsThe Veteran’s Park .... is also known as Centennial Park
The Veteran’s monument was constructed in early 1990’ s , in honor of the Filipino soldiers who fought for the liberation of Leyte and the Philippines 🇵🇭
The Centennial Marker , behind - still in the same park , was erected in 1998 to commemorate the 100th year of Philippine’s 🇵🇭 independence
This park & monuments , are located in Ormoc City , next to the Bayfront ... walking distance from Ormoc Ferry Terminal & main City Centre
Nearby are over a few different types of restaurants ... mostly Filipino BBQ
Even thou when I visited the park ( 5 times over a few months ) the park was a little under maintained
The local say ... the park is a nice place to watch the sunset 🌞Written 15 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

For 1500 peso' were able to hire a shaded concrete picnic style table area for the whole day. we had about 20 or so in our group and I can honestly say you could throw half that again under this and still have room to move. A very western style toilet and shower are included for the sole use of those who rent it.. Luckily we got there early as there is only one ( first in - first served)
There are other tables available located along the small beach front should you miss out on the big one.. There is a small cafeteria that serves most meals that would find in places like this.. The only fault I encountered with it was when I wanted to have some fries with beer, they came to me as if the had been cooked 3days earlier and reheated.. They had No taste and was as rubbery as an old boot.. But apart from that it was a perfect day.. They also have over night cottages for around 1000 peso' .. They include air on and tv.. Did not stay so can not comment on quality..
I would recommend this little resort for those who are travelling through and just want a swim and a break. And also for those who wish to take there family there for a days fun swimming and just relaxing..Written 24 August 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We ended up going around Ormoc and Baybay, one of our first stops was the Hindang Caves, famous for their wild monkeys we were only able to see one large male and one female with a baby, maybe we should have brought some bananas from the store near the registration hut. Never the less it was a great experience specially inside the cave where hundreds of bats were flying around, watch out though you might get hit with their droppings.Written 2 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
