I will share our getaway experience in Surigao province…We went to tinuy-an falls and enchanted river. The spots are now included on my list of the most beautiful places ive ever visited. After experiencing the magnificent falls and the enchanting river, our group decided to go to Britannia Islets. It’s morning when we arrived there, we thought that there is only one resort that will take care our needs, but we are wrong. If im not mistaken there is five of them. There is one guy that guided us to the said resort, we thought that this guy is some kind of leech that will s*ck up our money for services, that guy is from the LGU group (native in the area). We decided to look for other options and we arrived at the MC ARTHUR RESORT. We look at the prices of their foods and found out that the price is similar to Davao city, so we get out in the resort and went back to the LGU group. We found out that it’s 60 percent cheaper than the MC ARTHUR RESORT. After buying the sea foods from LGU, we stay in their small nipa hut. We are surprise when a lady came to the hut and asked us why we left the MC ARTHUR RESORT. She asked us if we encountered problem with her staff. We said we didn’t. But to our surprise, she got mad and said we are rude because we entered their resort and we left without reason. Our group answered that we have the freedom to leave their resort as long as we dont have outstanding balances and we didnt break any rules, but she insisted that we should not do that. After saying that, she immediately left.
My point in writing this is to inform people about the said resort and to avoid future problems. If you don’t believe me, try to do the same. The locals in that area said to us that it’s not the first time that they had seen that problem.
Thanks to the breath taking scenery of the Britannia Islets that make our stress go away because of that stupid lady.
Dear John,
(Hey that's Nicholas Spark's novel! hehe).
Thank you for sharing yoru thoughts. I still prefer community-based tourism. Like that in Sohoton.
I'm glad you found the beauty of Mindanao that's in danger due to the unabated logging and mining in the area. I hope after seeing the beauty, help us encourage more people to travel, to be aware of the environmental concerns and also, let's tell the staff from Mc Arthur resort or any resort that in tourism industry, basic courtesy and professionalism is very crucial. :)
I'm glad to see this post. Thanks for the detailed itinerary. Can't wait to explore Caraga region next week! :)
