Philippines - Palawan Island hopping
We did some amazing island hoping during our two weeks of sailing. A few of our favorites:
North Cay island
Dicalatan (the Romantic island) island - there have been quite a few marriage proposals on this island.
South Cay island
Banana island
Two Seasons Resort and Island was one of our favorite spots. We parked Meniscus right outside the resort and were greeted on the dock by no less than 4 security guards. We had heard that we would not be allowed on the island unless we were guests at the resort but I had to give it a try. The security guards were very kind and after a few minutes of radioing back and forth to management they decided we were ok and welcomed us to the island.
One of the first things we did was go for a fantastic lunch.
The best Mojito Kingsley had all day!
I indulgently ordered the lobster which was excellent...and incredibly fresh.
What sets Two Seasons light years apart from existing resorts in the Philippines is that it’s a 100% self-sustaining island development and vows to stay that way. They are well aware of their responsibility to protect the environment and have built every facility as eco-friendly while letting their guests enjoy nature in ultimate comfort.
Like many islands in Palawan, energy and water are not readily available from any utility company, so Two Seasons basically has to make their own. They convert seawater to nonpotable water through a filtering process. It has cistern tanks that collect and store rainwater for watering the vast lawns and gardens. The entire resort is powered by generators that operate in intervals depending on the occupancy rate and solar panels are used to power water heaters as well.
The resort suffered some damage from the typhoon and was still in the process of patching up a few roofs but for the most part they were back to normal. We found the staff very welcoming
