The Great Summer Escape 6:

Basangbasa Coral Beach Resort

San Joaquin, Iloilo

By Pepin

The glamorous you won’t find here, but the true “serene run off” in this once a simple beach lot will definitely complete your day. Basangbasa Coral Beach Resort is an hour and a half away from the city of Iloilo and it can be reached via bus, passenger jeepney or rented van. This place spells “exceptional” in any way you like it.

Located at the end part of the Municipality of San Joaquin, Iloilo, this spot welcomes every visitor into the sublimity of beach living. The cottages are arranged in such a way that you will be able to feel the beach breeze anywhere you stand. It’s a “user-friendly” beach resort, as many  say, because of the well-planned and well-maintained amenities.

But this summer escape flaunts more its beach because of the treasures hidden underwater that are only revealed when the tide sets low. Corals of different hues and fishes of various sizes present themselves to you even as you stand in any of the big rocks at the middle of the waters, but the local government prohibited fishing in this area to preserve marine life. However, you can feed the fishes with bread crumbs, or better yet, go snorkeling.
