To make the end of my sister and her family's visit in the place, we brought them to this place of the island on Sunday. Everyone enjoyed the beach, specially the kids that spent almost the day diving from this part of the resort.
Now, how do you see this part of the land? Does it really look like a turtle?
Do you want to experience a hot summer on this island to cool you down?
Enjoy...

we'll not talk about the expenses if you wish to visit us and use the resort. since you are already here and near the place, we can ask a friend to let us enter the resort and you only need to have foods and drinks for us.

on the last time we been there with my sister, we only brought our fresh seefoods and grilled on site. there would be no problem since we are going to be alone in the resort. we are going to be the only tourists to enjoy the whole place.

Yep, it certainly does look like a turtles head to me. You can even see an eye. It looks like a really nice place to visit. There are so many awesome and beautiful places in the world that it is impossible to visit them all. Where in the world is this place Cebu?

I like the photo very much it looks picturesque to me. The sea looks inviting and to me it is crystal clear. I like the tropical atmosphere too. The one thing about the beach is that you can do so many activities including swimming and snorkeling which is one of my favorite. Much better if it also has many beautiful corals deep down in the bottom of the ocean.
Your family is lucky to have visited this wonderful gift of nature. I pretty much miss the sandy shoreline where little tiny waves comes crashing down on your toes.
Sometimes I like to collect sea shells and keep it as a souvenir as well. The photo is beautful.

This place looks fantastic! I can feel the sun’s warm rays just looking at the picture and it’s winter here and it is cold! The rock formation is a really obvious shape of a turtle’s head, quite amazing! Yes this is a place I definitely would like to visit!

i guess it's better to have a companion when cooling down. you know, i noticed one notice from the last time we had a get to together in a resort, actually a swimming pool, etc. it says, "no one is allowed to swim alone"

Where can I find such a beautiful place? It's not that romantic though but I would want my love ones to see such a wonderful place.
I see a turtle's head looking up to the heavens.

Hi Nieldc! Good to see your post after my long absence!
Well I would say that is a very nice shot. I really love it. You were asking if it does look like a turtle. Well my answer is no because to me it looks like more of a tiger. Look at the head! But anyway, the place is awesome and looks really worth experiencing.
Have a nice day!

The sea looks very beautiful. We can see sea bottom and enjoy the panorama. I think it's good for dive there. Unfortunately, I don't like coral reef beach. I prefer to spent my holidays in sandy beach. I like both white and black sand beach. I love to walk along the beach. I like to hoard away in the sand in the afternoon and enjoy warm sand temperature.

well actually, coral reef is the name of the resort and not because there are lots of corals there. the beach's sand is almost white and it so happened that i only shared here that part of the resort. if you are one of my friends on facebook, you can see more of the images there and a video where kids jump on the waters.
