We were picked up at the airport by a driver who took us to our resort solo. We were checked in the resort and taken to our beautiful quarters in a golf cart. The staff were well trained and very accommodating. We could tell they were to look after your every need The food was good, the salt water pool was great. The beach was well looked after but not much of a swimming area. The resort had its own island you could walk out to at low tide. We saw a wedding there. We had booked two tours. On the first, we were picked up in a beautiful car and great driver. We were solo again, and were driven to the many sites on the tour. We saw very old church and historical sites. We travelled most of the day seeing a mahogany forest, and then the protected area where the smallest monkeys lived. For lunch we went on a cruise boat on a river and ate a Philipino lunch while watching entertainment along the way. It was very unique.. after lunch we visited the enchanted gardens and saw constrictor snakes, which we handled, and interesting flying rodents, butterflies and different species of plants. After that we drove to the Chocolate hills. Our driver was amazing with his knowledge and friendly ways. We tipped him well on returning to our resort. The second tour was island hoping in an outrigger boat. We saw porpoises swimming alongside our boat, which was neat! We stopped at an island and were outfitted with mask and snorkelling gear. The fish were beautiful. After an hour we were served a delicious traditional meal before we left and were taken back. The driver picked us up again and took us back to the resort. It was a great tour. Al in all .our whole trip was amazing. We would do it all again!
