A Glimpse of Concepcion Islands

Tashi delek! Hello everyone, For the record this will be my first post. Concepcion group of Islands is blessed with white sand beaches. The famous of them all is the Sandbar Beach which is located at Bulubadiangan Island.

If you are lucky enough to arrive at approximately one meter high tide, the astonishing work of nature will welcome you with its glazing white sandbar that stretches the entrance of Resort.





The Resort is owned and maintained by a family which I forgot to ask their family name. The owner is called Manong Sonny together with his son Rex who manages the resort. One thing about this resort that differs from among others is the hospitality and accommodation. From the moment we arrived until before we sleep at night, we were accommodated with our needs very well.

HOW TO GET THERE?

Before doing so you must first contact the resort for them to arrange someone to fetch you at Concepcion Port. From Iloilo City you can ride an HPQ bus at Tagbak Terminal which will bring you directly to the Town Proper of Concepcion. Otherwise if you choose to ride the CERES liner bus, you may drop at Sara Central Terminal and ride the the jeepney to Concepcion. Either way, both will cost you around P150.00. The boat fare will costs you about P1,500.00 back and forth. Below is some of the scenes that will capture your senses and relax your mind.








ACCOMMODATION

Most of the cottages costs around P500.00. There is one cottage which is powered by Solar Panel that costs around P800.00 has its own comfort room and a mini kitchen for cooking. The rest of the cottages including the house of the owner is powered by a generator which is turned on only when the sun sets until 11PM. There are two common comfort rooms, a large cooking and barbecue stand. You may ask the owner to cook for you but you will be charged a certain amount, otherwise you may cook your own food for free of charge. There is no store there, so I suggest buy all your necessities before going to the island. During the night you will be provided with clean beddings, pillows and blankets. You may wish to bring your own tent and set it up, provided you must ask permission first to the owner of the resort.



OTHERS

You may ask the owner of the boat that fetched you for island hopping to discover more the beauty of Concepcion Islands. The rate is P500.00 per island destination. I suggest you go to Agho Island. Personally it is the most beautiful of them all. It is so vivid and peaceful. Together with the shining white sand and the overlooking mountainous islands background surely you'll enjoy your vacation as much as I did. If you are a photography geek, you may wait for the king sun to set behind the mountains. Below are some of the photos from Agho Islands and other scenic views.
