Mindoro Philippines,
is the seventh-largest island in the Philippines. It
is located in southwestern Luzon, just northeast of
Palawan. In past times, it has been called Ma-i or
Mait by ancient Chinese traders and, by Spaniards,
as Mina de Oro (meaning "gold mine") from where the
island got its current name. The island was divided
into its two present-day provinces, Occidental
Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro, in 1950. Before then,
since 1921, the entire island was one province.
Secluded Resorts;
Lovers of more secluded places have the option to
stay at Coco Beach Resort, set apart in a cove with
its own beach, or even better, at the wonderful
small resort of Tanawin, perched on a hill
overlooking Varadero Bay. There is also the romantic
Kalaw Place, hidden in an enchanting forest park
facing Muelle Bay.
Philippine
Beaches;
The mountainous coastline of Puerto Galera, 42
Kilometers long, is composed of numerous beaches and
deserted, secret coves of white sand, bordered by
crystal clear waters. It is very pleasant to go
island hopping - all the resorts offer trips - and
have a swim or a picnic at Long Beach, Halige Beach,
Aninuan Beach, just to mention a few of the most
well-known. The finest is, without a doubt, Bayanan
Beach.
Philippine
Dive Sites;
(5 minutes to 1 hour from the main beaches) Puerto
Galera's reputation as a diving destination took off
in 1983. It is still one of the most important
diving destinations today and its reputation has
become quite international. There are about 30
diving sites recorded as of this writing. The coral
reefs are protected and marine life is of great
diversity and beauty. If all you do is snorkel, you
will certainly have your fill as well: Big La Laguna
Beach, Long Beach, and Coral Garden with its dense
carpet of pink and yellow corals are feast for your
eyes. Big La Laguna is the ideal place for children
who snorkel, as the water is shallow and calm.
Ponderosa - Philippines Golf;
(20 minutes) Ponderosa was created by Tony Taylor, a
golf enthusiast. It is set at and altitude of 600
meters in a beautiful mountainous area covered with
rainforest, overlooking the bay of Puerto Galera.
The resorts can register you for a game. But even if
you do not play golf, go and have a drink just the
same at the terrace of the bar that offers a
fantastic view of the bay.
