Argao is a go-to destination in Cebu when it comes to beaches and getaways. It has many attractions that are perfect for exciting activities such as swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and other water activities.
Baluarte de Argao Beach Resort serves as one of Argao’s greatest assets because aside from stunning seaside views and relaxing beach escapades, it is also home to a portion of the history of Argao. Its historical significance is already evident in the Spanish-style structure that greets the guests as they enter the resort.
Aside from its structure, there are also surrounding buildings such as the Saint Michael the Archangel Church which was established around October 16, 1733 – one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. The historical scenery of Baluarte de Argao is definitely something that fits the tranquil atmosphere of Argao.
The historical structure of Baluarte de Argao also serves as a quaint background in the front lawn especially during events. They host various events such as wedding receptions, birthday parties, reunions, and more so event planners can include Baluarte de Argao in their list. Outside of events, Baluarte de Argao is just a regular seaside accommodation with a little twist from the past.
Baluarte de Argao Beach Resort wouldn’t be much of a beach resort if it wasn’t beside the sea. The beach is easily accessible from the rooms and guests could go back and forth without any problems. The rooms are just beside the actual Baluarte de Argao.
Its lower floor has been converted into a restaurant that gives a unique dining-in-the-past experience for the guests as it is surrounded by antiques and old decors.
A few steps away from the rooms is also a garden complete with chairs and tables where everyone can spend a relaxing time just enjoying the view of the beach and the ocean breeze.
