The beachfront has a lone cottage that would be able to accommodate a good number of people. There are also tables and chairs for rent which are set under the shade of the trees near the shore which would be perfect for a couple of card games and other activities. The main star of the beach resort is the pristine blue water that just tempts everyone to dive in and swim.
Spacious dormitory-type room
The best thing about Aranas Family Beach Resort is the spacious dormitory-type room that is able to accommodate very big groups of up to 20 people.
Its affordable price makes it very attractive and the addition of a kitchen area with chairs and tables makes it the most functional room in the resort. It is air conditioned and comes completely with a comfort room.

Cebu surely has lots of places offering exhilarating activities up on a mountain. Whether it be trekking, wall climbing ziplining and many more, adventure-seekers never run out of ideas just to fulfill that adventurer’s high. Probably one of the most underrated mountain activities available here in Cebu is all-terrain vehicle or ATV riding. But that’s about to change, as Cantipla Adventure is here.

With a trail that provides that nature’s outdoorsy vibe, riding through it with an ATV is definitely an experience worth trying. Cantipla Adventure’s ATVs

Badian has captured the hearts of local and foreign risk-takers and thrill-seekers, serving them with action-packed activities. But amidst all these energy-draining adventures, a tranquil resort thrives in an island that’s a few minutes boat ride away from the mainland Badian.
Badian Island Wellness Resort gives a contrast of what the town is already known for: a gentler and quieter way of living the Badian lifestyle.
This is the only resort in the small island near the southwest coast of Cebu. Its main concept revolves around the pursuit of health and well-being and the quest to bring us back in harmony with nature. The fact that it’s away from the city crowd makes the island an almost-pollution free haven, treating everyone with a literal breath of fresh air.

Panagsama Beach is already well-known for its jaw-dropping underwater views that have captivated every diver who dared to explore its waters.
Due to this, many diving shops and diving resorts have appeared within its vicinity to provide every scuba diver with diving necessities.
In a secluded corner at the far end of the famous beach is Love’s Beach & Dive Resort. It is a cozy beach resort with the same verdant mountain views and stunning turquoise waters as the other resorts within the vicinity of Panagsama Beach.

It is one of the longest running diving resorts in the area which speaks of the quality of its service. It is ideally located at the end of Panagsama to steer clear of the diving crowd and allow its guests to experience some peace and serenity.
Despite being at the far end, it is still just 5 minutes away through foot from the beach bars, restaurants, eateries, and souvenir shops, so the guest really won’t miss out on anything by staying in Love’s.

Yolanda was one of the most devastating storms that struck the country and it washed away homes along with the future of millions of families.
In October 2014, barely a year after the storm hit the country, hope was delivered to the residents of Daanbantayan in the form of a promise.
Photo by Jessie Tundag
The local government of Daanbantayan signed a memorandum of agreement with CeKo Solar, a Filipino-Korean company, to build a Solar Power Plant that will cover 25 hectares in Barangay Pajo and Barangay Tominjao. This power plant will bring an estimate of 300 jobs that will greatly help the families of the storm-stricken town recover from the tragedy.
The Solar Power Plant is a dual-purpose project that opens up opportunities for the town as well as solve its existing problems and help other nearby towns. One of the problems encountered by the people of Daanbantayan and Bantayan is the lack of power and stable electricity which causes frequent brownouts and power shortages.
Photo by Jessie Tundag
The plant wouldn’t be a waste of space because the flat terrain that it will be built on is not viable for agriculture and has the perfect conditions to collect sunlight. Based on their evaluation, the area receives about 5 hours of direct sunlight every day. Moreover, this project will also become another stepping stone in the country’s pursuit for clean and renewable energy. The Solar Power Plant Project will not only benefit the residents of Daanbantayan but Cebu and the entire country as well.
The Solar Power Plant will be constructed using 80,000 solar panels, each with a lifespan of 30 years. These panels altogether will have a plant capacity of 25MW and are expected to generate about 43,800MW of energy per annum.
The goal of the project is to give the residents of Daanbantayan and the nearby towns access to a stable source of power and also provide an additional power supply to Cebu. CeKo Solar Farms Corporations initially invested P2.5 billion pesos for the project with plans to spend a total of P10 billion pesos and expand to provide a total of 100MW of power.
Currently Stopped
Before the construction of the Toledo Solar Power Plant, this was supposed to be the first power plant in Cebu and would have attracted many tourists to the town. The project was expected to be finished by June 2016 but was halted during January 2016. The project was halted for failing to meet the standards under the Milestone Approach and Renewable Energy Safety, Health and Environment Rules and Regulations. The project also faced delays because of financial issues. There are currently no further updates about the continuation of the project.
There’s no better way to get in touch with nature than by taking a refreshing dip in the cold waters of springs.
Fern Valley Resort provides the rejuvenating energy of nature that nature-lovers look for and what’s more, this refreshing experience can be enjoyed with friends or with the family. The main facility of Fern Valley Resort is their giant natural swimming pool that perpetually flows from a river.

The pool was formed by placing concrete embankments on both sides of the river and they even placed a long slab of concrete to create a lower tier which leads to an even deeper pool. There is also a huge extended flat area that is just shallow enough for young kids to enjoy.
Surrounding the swimming pool is a jungle of trees and other fauna which largely contributes to the natural atmosphere and the trees form canopies extending over the pools which provide ample shade to the visitors.
If you want to fully experience the pool without having to avoid the scorching heat of the sun, then it is best to visit during late afternoon. On both sides of the banks, there are native cottages perched on stilts that also provide shade from the sun and are able to accommodate large groups. Upon arrival, visitors may take a moment to relax until the intensity of the sun whittles down until it is bearable.

Moreover, these cottages are scattered all over the resort and all of them are elevated giving the cottages a great view of the pool and the nature around it which would make a great background for photoshoots.
Fern Valley Resort is a great place to spend some time communing with nature with its ambient natural surroundings. For those who prefer not being alone then spending a refreshing vacation with friends and family won’t be a problem with their giant natural pool.
