Dhio Endheka Spring Resort - Buang Tabaco City, Albay - Bicol

I had a week with my family and had a lot of fun. No place like home as we say. ..

One rainy morning, the family gathered together in a resort to go swimming. Despite of the weather we all still pursue to go for it was all planned a night before. The resort is Dhio Endheka which have a greek meaning, Dos Onse (Two Eleven) named after the birthdate of the owner (Gonzales), February 11. It is located at the heart of Buang Tabaco City, Albay and considered as one of the best resort in the city. It is also one of the tourist spot where all Tabaqueños are all proud of. It has three (3) toddlers pool, a medium size pool, and a huge pool where everybody can enjoy splashing the ravishing cool water. It has a number of cottages where you can stay for your comfort, and captive views where every one can take pictures for a remembrance. However, the resort also offers some rooms for people who wants to stay overnight and for those fellas who wants an altered experience of the stomping ground at night.

Unfortunately, over the years the resort had a bad experience with Typhoon Reming where it destroys some of the stunning part of the resort. The astonishing swimming pool down by the river and High Mountain now became a wide fish pond. It has lost its original beauty but creates another contour for people to appreciate when they try to drop by and visit the place.

Nevertheless, upon entering the said resort you must first consider to take a lot of steps downstairs and of course, when going up again when you’re almost done with your adventure from the lowest point. The best of it is when you’re almost drunk and now you need to take these steps for you to go home, hahaha! Now, are you game to take the challenge? For me, it is beyond compare because it is when you comparatively will feel the worth of having an exceptional experience of the holiday spot.

Visit this resort and see the difference among your experiences.

Bicol's Best Beach and Places

When I was at my young age, I always dream of living by the sea and have a nice and cool house out there so I could enjoy the sea breeze in the morning, relax myself from the busy street of the city and give myself a huge time to unwind. I’m a typical Bicolana who always loved to enjoy the beauty of nature and always tend to appreciate its natural work of art. Well, If you happen to notice everything that surrounds you, you’ll be pleased to know more about it and how they'll perfectly give beauty to your life.

Bicol in particular owns wonderful beach and places that you’ll actually love to see and experience to stay to feel its magnificence. I haven’t travel much around Bicol but I’m still looking forward to see all its loveliness in due time. For sure, this will require me saving some cash for a cool journey. Though now I’m living far away from home, I always ensure to have time to go by the beach near our place every time I went home because it always gives me a different feeling of relieving myself from my busy world way back here in Manila. I love the beach so much and I’m obsessed with beaches. And one thing that I wanna do for the rest of my life is to visit and go to different beach resorts may it be here in the Philippines or in other countries. I’ve been to some cool beach resorts too and I really love the feeling of being there.

I’ve got some photos here of Bicol’s best places, resorts and beaches that I’ve collected from different sources, so try exploring them and if you think you got the time to drop by Bicol region, find some time to visit these places.

Gotcha!

Some beaches I've spent my time exploring....
