The huts, made extra special with its curtains.
Well, woudn’t even like to miss a shot from that area.

And of course, a full body shot.
If you plan to rent a shade, the Cottages there costs P1200 whereas the Umbrella Huts are at P600. Energy outlets are also conveniently installed in each.
The number of cottages made available is obviously due to the increasing number of tourists year by year.
Strolling around the island made that huge smile on me.
When every direction leads you to one thing – paradise.
Life Guard on duty.
Bamboo huts in every corner for those who want to stay the night.
The long ramp along the sea could be your next hot spot for your IG- worthy shots!
Did mine there too.
Swinging like I ain’t on a beach.
Another spot in the island to lay down and rest.
A mini souvenir shop to take home with you the Island experience.

The place even gave me an ‘A-lister’ feels that day.
Holding my breath for about five seconds to achieve that angle.
The ambiance and my feelings were in harmony.
this place = perfect tan
The barrel, placed in purpose as a prop.
Two floors with one purpose – to give relaxation and rejuvenation. Just a fast fact, Taw hai is a local term in Negros which means “relaxed”
Choose your color, dear tourist!
