Travelling has always been one of my passions. To be able to go to many places known or not, and to experience many unforgettable memories would always excites me to explore such places. My dream has been fulfilled when I became a CBS member. My first experience was when we visit Maribago Bluewater last May. It was such a nice experience that we never stop dreaming of going back to the resort. You can definitely say it’s the only resort who’s service are great in maribago bluewater cebu. Then months, later Sir Ruben of Pinoyworld invited us to visit the sister resort of Maribago. I was more than enthusiastic to be one of the privileged bloggers to have the chance explore the Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort and indeed I was one of the 35 lucky bloggers who made it. Yehey! The group gathered in SM northwing and headed for an adventure ride. It was indeed very adventure that though I love to travel but if im in a closed vehicle like “Van” I really easily get sick and you know what happen next…..I throw up! Huhu…I vomited 4 times!! Waaaa! I really felt weak and told others Is it really this far? And they were all laughing.

So we arrived in Bato,Oslob where the resort’s receiving area for guest who will ride for a boat going to the Island. I felt better and relaxed especially seeing the bright and refreshing view of the white sand beach and the near sight of Sumilon Bluewater. It was so cool… The fun started when we boarded the boat because we had the first all around tour of the island and we are really in awe especially with the white sandbar and great waves that greeted us that made the travel to the Island more enjoyable.

When we arrived at the Eastern Dock of the resort, we were greeted with the smile of the staff and personally by their kind and accommodating Sumilon Bluewater’s Resident Manager, Mr. Greg Perral. Thanks for the warm welcome Sir! We had an orientation about the resort by Mr. Perral itself while savoring their tuna sandwich with fries. After the orientation, we had an ocular inspection with the rooms that are indeed relaxing with a nice view of the water outside. We were also treated with such appetizing foods provided by the in-house island kitchen managed by Chef de Partie Buddy Amodia. Thanks Chef! That was really good…hmmm… After eating, we were all excited to experience to experience the Sumilon fun eventhough the low pressure “Jolina” is quite challenging us not to go but we are just so excited . We tried the snorkeling and kayaking but the most enjoyable of all was whe new decided to the shifting white sandbar. As young as we are, we are always hungry for challenges and seeing the big waves did not make us feel afraid but the group’s energy was all drained as we face coming waves. You can see our adventures especially when the sandstorm swept us and were just shouting of the sand’s impact to our skin but it was truly a fun experience. There were injured, out of breath and just keep on laughing but all in all it was a great bonding for the group. The sand are all over in our bodies so we savor the last but most refreshing stop…the infinity pool where there is alsoa panoramic view of the water and mainland Cebu. The water is really cold because of the climate but it was refreshing to the body. We were all smile during the afternoon tea with carbonara pasta. After an hour of relaxing, we bid grateful goodbye to Mr. Perral, Chef Amodia thru a group picture as well as to those accommodating staff of Sumilon resort. We arrived in the city probably @ 8:30 pm, had a small chitchat with the members and Sir Ruben like we don’t wanna go home. Hehe.. We know it would take more days or weeks before we will see each other again but looking forward on it. Do you want to experience it as well?
