Cavanico Il Mare Resort

What a day!

My mom, bro, cousin, aunt and uncle went to Samal Island to dip our entire bodies in one of the best beach resorts in the Philippines. But of course, good things dont come easy. We drove to the island but waiting to get into the ferry was a pain! The line to get our car into one of the two ferries was loooonggggg. After a few minutes in the queue, we have decided to leave the car and our things with our uncle still in the queue. We would be able to get to the other side of the island quickly if we get on the ferry without a car in tow. And so we did.

At the other side, we took a 200 pesos tricycle from Babak Ferry Terminal to Cavanico il Mare Resort. It was horribly hot and when we arrived at the resort, the resort was full. We were first sent away as they could not promise a cottage for us. But we were hopeful and waited outside the resort until one of the personnel pitied us. She found one available covered area for us. We were so grateful. My bro and I immediately went to the grilling area to grill our pork bellies and fishes. In an hour's time, my uncle arrived at the resort when the meat and fish on the grill were almost done. Food always tastes so good when you are starving.

We swam in their swimming pool and at the beach for about 3 hours before calling it  a day. Or so we thought. As we left the resort we knew we were about to get into the queue for the ferry again. We left the resort at 430 and we arrived at the house by 7pm. It was a ridiculously long time (2hrs) of waiting to get into the ferry. Nevertheless, the day trip was fun and the day was a well spent time with family.
