Our
Apo Island
trip was booked through Coco Grove Beach Resort in San Juan, Siquijor. Thus, we had no option
but to visit Siquijor, an island famous for its mystic traditions.
We
left Dumaguete port at 4:30 pm via Delta Ferries. We arrived in Siquijor port after an
hour. Upon arriving in Siquijor, we were
greeted by friendly locals offering us a ride to our resort. Since Coco Grove has expensive rates, we
opted to stay at Coral Cay Beach Resort in San Juan and go to Coco Grove the morning
after. Travel time from the port to
Coral Cay Beach Resort via trike is around 30 minutes. Fare was Php 50.00 for
the whole tricycle.

While
on the road, we noticed that Siquijor is very rural. At 6pm, we noticed that nobody is on the road
anymore. The people are in their homes
eating dinner and watching television.
Everything was quiet at 6pm.
When
we arrived at Coral Cay, we proceeded to our villa. It was a fully air conditioned nipa hut complete
with amenities. I would recommend this
resort to everybody wishing to visit Siquijor.

After
check-in, we went outside the resort to eat dinner. The streets were dark and there were no
people in sight. We ate at the only
carenderia that was open during that time.
When we returned to the resort, we took a dip in the pool and slept
early for our trip to Apo
Island the following day.

Our
regret was that we never had a chance to go around the island due to limited
time. Had we known that our flight to Manila will be cancelled,
we should have stayed for an extra day.
