ANTULANG BEACH RESORT, Siaton, Negros Oriental

For a holiday on a private beach with all the perks and amenities of good resort, Antulang Beach Resort is the best place to be. This is the place for honeymooners. Situated 40 kilometers south of Dumaguete, Antulang belongs to the municipality of Siaton. The ten hectare resort sits on a sheer cliff and one has to go down several winding staircases to the secluded white beaches strewn with large, natural rock formations. Aside from the usual rooms, they have six villas with private pools and outdoor Jacuzzi with a beautiful view of the sea. They have fun activities from diving, snorkeling, kayaking, horseback riding, rappeling and a cruise to the island’s best kept secret, the beautiful Tambobo bay just nearby. Tambobo Bay is a natural marina and a haven of more than two dozen yachts from all over the world.

The entrance to the resort though, is a letdown. There is no distinctive lobby and not much landscaping has been done to give the visitors a welcoming air. However, once inside you get drawn to the infinity pool with a good command of the glorious sea.
