Glitter Stop

Sabin Resort Hotel – Bantigue, Ormoc City, Leyte Philippines

I did not receive any work load today so I figured I will make use of my free time writing about our visit to Sabin Resort Hotel situated in Ormoc City’s southern coastal shores. This does not happen too often, having some agreeable space to let my mind drift back and forth just to come up with great ideas, on how to make my post well-written or at least attract enough people to actually read the whole post. Unlike other bloggers, more often than not, I do not write a satisfactory article in just a short span of time. Let’s just say that I have tons of stuff I need to do before I can find time to create posts for our websites.

Our second stopover was the Carmelite Spirituality Center situated high above the mountains of Barangay Milagros, Ormoc. The walk towards the center was tedious which only made me realize how much I lacked exercise.

The Carmelite Spirituality Center was of course captivating and somber. To witness the stunning statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus, we had to climb further up small but rather lengthy steps. I could not help but feel that the further we ascended up those hallowed steps, the more you feel spiritually vulnerable and reflective.

The Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery, Carmelite Spirituality Center, and Claretian Mission Center were just among the tourist destinations we visited during our six day stay in Ormoc City. The trip was comfortable despite the scorching temperature solely caused by the sun’s persistence.

Our first stop was the breathtaking Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery situated in the hills of the Barrio Cabaon-an. Its location was quite perfect when your own soul is searching for refuge. If there was indeed a perfect haven to surrender yourself to the goodness and purity of God’s will then this was indeed the ideal place to contemplate.

Just yesterday, we’ve traveled northeast of Ormoc City and stumbled on the famous Lake Danao National Park after a 20 minute ride from the city. The weather itself was on our side despite its sizzling heat, we were quite excited to arrive at our destination.

The Lake Danao National Park is a 2,193 hectare area and is about 15 kilometers travel from the Tongonan national road.

The trip towards the park was all right; however, I strongly suggest for you to bring along some food or snacks and drinks particularly water just to quench your thirst since the sun’s heat wasn’t really welcoming.

Portofino Beach Resort found in the modest island of Mactan Lapu-Lapu City, is one of the prominent beaches within the highly urbanized area of the Cebu province.

Portofino is a term that originated from Italy, which is a popular tourist resort on the coast of the Ligurian Sea east of Genoa. The term also denotes ‘Port of the Dolphins.’

Portofino Resort in Lapu-Lapu Cebu is well celebrated by Cebuanos and predominantly tourists for its white sand beaches and stunning blue green and lucid waters. It is conveniently a 30-minute drive from the Mactan International Airport. So if you’ve been daydreaming about walking bare foot along the tropical shores of Cebu then this is without a doubt the perfect slice of paradise once you’ve reached the airport.
