Dine with sea and sunset views at Haruhay View in Asturias

0

An exotic dining experience awaits you in Asturias.

Haruhay View is an outdoor dining spot by the beach. It offers a stunning view of the open sea over Tañon Strait. The small silhouette of Negros Island lies sleepily in the distance to add to the beauty of the view.

Just opened on August 8, 2021, Haruhay View is an affordable place where you can dine with friends and family or enjoy refreshments with a great view and atmosphere.

The Dining Experience

While you lounge on the beachfront, their very own kitchen is ready to cook your orders by request. You can find fresh seafood prepared deliciously along with other snacks and refreshments.

Haruhay View also features a bar with a variety of alcoholic drinks. While the bar is not as extensive as bars or watering holes in the city, drinking just hits different when you’re on the beach and with the waves.

Immerse yourself in the tropical ambiance while you fill your belly and feast your eyes on the breathtaking views.

Bright and colorful scenery

While you stay in Haruhay View, get in touch with some marine wildlife in the shallows. You can appreciate a closer look at the colorful corals and brightly colored starfish living in the waters close to shore. Make sure not to touch or step on any of them though!

If the mesmerizing seascape wasn’t already enough, wait until the hour before nighttime. Haruhay View is in a wonderful spot to witness grand sunsets.

NO RT-PCR Test for Fully Vaxxed in some PH Destinations

To travel without these pandemic restrictions is the dream, and we are slowly going there.

AirAsia, one of the best low-cost airline in the world, have added four destinations in the Philippines that does not require the mandatory quarantine and negative RT-PCR test for fully vaccinated travelers arriving from Metro Manila.

RT-PCR tests and quarantine although it was necessary before is truly an inconvenience for us travelers especially when it’s just within the country and so this announcement is breath of relief.

Travelers entering the following areas will only need to upload the digital copy of their vaccination cards for the S-Pass as an entry requirement.

Areas that don’t require RT-PCR test

  • Bacolod
  • Iloilo
  • Tacloban
  • Cagayan de Oro City
  • Cebu Province

It was quite long ago though for Cebu Province. The province has abandoned this requirement regardless of vaccine status, and instead requires only a medical certificate. The certificate should be taken 24 hours prior to departure date for confirmation that guests do not manifest any of the symptoms of covid-19.

Areas that still requires RT-PCR tests

  • Bohol
  • Caticlan (Boracay)
  • Davao
  •  General Santos City
  • Puerto Princesa
  • Zamboanga

Note: Negative RT-PCR tests taken at least 72 hours prior to departure.

“The noticeable increase in seats sold and our healthy load factor shows that we are ending 2021 with a very strong path to recovery. Due to strong pent up demand we are confident that the increased flight frequency will support our guests’ clamor to fly again and reconnect with their families in the provinces,”

 – Steve Dailisan, AirAsia Philippines spokesperson

The easing of restrictions is no excuse though to not follow the minimum safety protocols. Let us all follow them and keep each other safe as we slowly transition back to normal.
