5. Beach

You can enjoy the white sandy beaches at Santiago Bay Garden & Resort or at Mangodlong Rock Resort.

Where to Stay:

1. Santiago Bay Garden & Resort

So YSSP ended up choosing this resort over the other one because of the long and wide stretch of beach in front of the resort. Unfortunately, because we did the tour first and we only stayed for one night, it was already too dark when we got back and although swimming at night seemed fun, it was too dark and risky to stay in the water too long. The following morning was greeted with a low tide as you can see in the photo so we weren’t really able to enjoy the beach as much as we wanted.

2. Mangodlong Rock Resort
